The Hinderances the World Causes

Even before accomplishing enlightenment a person knows that everything attests to the existence of God. But these virtuous feelings of innocence disappear as he begins to mingle with corrupt society, because worldly affairs hinder him from swimming in the vast ocean of insight.

-Al-Ghazzali, "Ihya Ulum Id-Din"
