Episode Synopsis

Send us a textGhazālī was a restless soul in search of truth. He turned first to philosophy, only to find it sharpened the mind but left the heart empty. Then he turned to Sufism — and in that emptiness, he discovered his heart’s awakening. Philosophy became for him a tool, not the goal; the goal was always the heart, purified and filled with the love of God.And so he reminds us: a man once asked a teacher, “When should I repent?” The teacher said, “Before you die.” The man replied, “But I don’t know when I will die.” The teacher answered, “Then repent now.”That is the alchemy of happiness — to awaken, to polish the heart, and to return to the One from whom we came.Thank you for listening.
