The Garden of Paradise
Two Kinds of Soul

TWO KINDS OF SOUL
There are two types of human beings: those who
follow base desires and those who adopt a pure
way of life. There are those who despise others and
thrive on ostentatious and self-centered pursuits.
Their souls are inimical to truth and their minds are
full of selfish and conceited thoughts. They like
inconveniencing others; they derive immense
pleasure from taking advantage of the weaknesses
of others. Such people are living on infernal
provision, and will abide in Hell in the Hereafter.
Then there are those who are pure in spirit. Others’
success causes them genuine pleasure. They are
happy to forgive those who are at their mercy. They
are loving and wish their fellows well; they thrive
on humility and meekness. Such people are living
in a heavenly atmosphere. They are content to
concede a disputed point to others. When their
faults are pointed out they are quick to admit them.
They are restless until they have paid back their
debts. Such people are living on heavenly
provision; they will abide eternally in the lush
gardens of paradise.
