Human beings naturally seek harmony and cohesion between their cognitions, and when there is disharmony between the way you are living your life and the internal discomfort and emptiness you are feeling, this is where we usually hit a crosssroad between chosing the way we live or responding to the discomfort and imbalance that we are feeling. It’s called Cognitive Dissonance. In the Islamic tradition, human beings are intrinsically wired to find their way to Allah (God) through the Fitrah, which is a predisposition to believe in Him, and the faculties given to them to help navigate their way through the external influences and distractions. Human faculties have dual a function; one spiritual and the other physical. Allah says in the Qur’an, “They have hearts with which they do not understand, they have eyes with which they do not see and they have ears with which they do not hear; they are like cattle, rather more astray than cattle.” (7:179) Allah is not referencing the physical functions of these faculties here but the spiritual. Don’t keep ignoring your body’s desire for a deeper interpretation of the experience you giving it. Understand your purpose and live it.
