# Awakening to Inner Vision and Spiritual Uprightness

O poor fellow! You possessed only external sight, remaining blind inwardly from the very beginning. You lacked the inner vision necessary to perceive the Divine signs, despite being endowed with a perfect earthly form. You failed to recognise that the measures of the hidden, sublime world differ entirely from this realm of appearances. Now, you realise this blindness, but it is imperative to strive for inner uprightness so that you may stand upright on the Last Day. Your spirit must remain truly human, ensuring your form in the Barzakh and Hereafter reflects that humanity.

Do not mistake the world of hidden realities for this world of appearances, where deception and confusion prevail. In the Hereafter, secrets are unveiled, and your deeds are disclosed. Your physical limbs—eyes, ears, hands, and feet—will bear witness against you with supernatural tongues, some appearing in celestial forms.

## Scripture

> وَأَشْعِرْ قَلْبِيَ الِازْدِجَارَ عَنْ قَبَائِحِ السَّيِّئَاتِ، وَفَوَاضِحِ الْحَوْبَاتِ
>
> Impart to my heart restraint before ugly works of evil and disgraceful misdeeds!

— *Sahifa Sajjadiyyah, Prayer 47: His Supplication on the Day of ‘Arafa, Verse 106*
