Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is your guidance for the one who strives to purify his soul, but it does not stay long before it slips away from him, becomes lazy, and grows weak?
Answer:
Yes, he needs patience. It is true that the soul slips away from its owner, but he should be patient with it and compel it to obey Allah. After that, his soul will become accustomed to obedience, and it will become easy for him after practice and repetition. Yes.
