There is a false ego in man, which the Sufis call

nafs, and this ego feeds on weakness. This ego

feels vain when one says, " I cannot bear it, I do

not like it, " it feeds the ego, the vanity. It thinks,

" I am better than others, " and thereby this ego

becomes strong. But the one who can discriminate,

distinguish, choose, while at the same time having

everything under control, and who although enjoying

sweet things can yet drink a bowl of something

bitter, that person has reached mastery.
