Wage war against these hearts [and their desires], for indeed they are quick to stumble (or get obliterated).
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Sadness of the hearts purges the sins.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
When the heart is empty of God-wariness, it gets filled with the lures of this world.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Humble your heart with certitude, make it acknowledge the transience of this life, and make it see the calamities of this world.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
The adornment of the hearts is sincerity of faith.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
The worst of hearts is the one that doubts in its faith.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Blessed are those whose hearts are broken for the sake of Allah.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim

Blessed is the one who occupies his heart with reflection and his tongue with remembrance [of Allah].
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim

Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Then listen attentively, O people, and open the ears of your hearts so that you may understand.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
So his appearance is [in] the form of a human being but his heart is the heart of a beast.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
The heart of a fool is in his mouth and the tongue of the intelligent one is in his heart.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
The heart of a fool is behind his tongue, and the tongue of the intelligent one is behind his heart.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
The pure hearts of the servants are places that Allah, the Glorified, looks upon [with His mercy]; so whoever purifies his heart, He will look upon it.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim

There are some evil thoughts that come into the hearts, but the intellects deter one from [acting upon] them.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Your heart must submit to Allah, the Glorified, for one whose heart submits, all the other parts of his body also submit.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Indeed there is a piece of flesh that has been placed inside this human being which is the most amazing thing in him, and that is his heart; it has sources of wisdom and things contrary to it. If hope enters it, covetousness humiliates it and if covetousness increases in it then greed destroys it. If despair takes control over it, grief kills it. If anger comes over it, its rage intensifies. If it is blessed with pleasure, it forgets precaution. If it is overcome by fear, it becomes preoccupied with caution. If peace prevails around it, it becomes neglectful. If a hardship befalls it, impatience disgraces it. If it gains wealth, affluence makes it oppressive. If it faces indigence, distress overtakes it. If hunger attacks it, weakness disables it. If its eating increases, the heaviness of his stomach pains it. Thus every curtailment is harmful to it and every excess is injurious to it.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
One whose heart is dead enters the fire [of hell].
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim

Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Nothing comes forth from a sound heart except the direct meaning.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
There is no good in a heart that does not surrender, an eye that does not shed tears and knowledge that does not benefit.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Verily there are evil thoughts that come into the hearts but the intellects deters one from [acting upon] them.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Verily these hearts are receptacles, and the best of them are those that are most receptive to good.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Verily these hearts grow weary just like bodies become weary, so seek out wise sayings for them.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Verily hearts have desire and aversion, an advancing and a retreating, so approach them from whence they advance and desire, for indeed when the heart is forced [to do anything] it becomes blind.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
The heart is a spring of wisdom and the ear is the place where it sinks [and enters] in.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim

Where are the hearts that have been presented to Allah and have been bound to the obedience of Allah?
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
The most rancorous heart is the heart of the spiteful.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
The best of hearts is a heart that has been filled with understanding.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
Verily the heart has an advancing and a retreating, so when it advances then make it bear the [performance of] supererogatory acts, but when it retreats then make it suffice with the obligatory acts.
Ghurar Al-Hikam Wa Durar Al-Kalim
Imam Ali (P.B.U.H):
The heart is the treasurer of the tongue.

The hearts of men are wild, so whoever shows them affection [and tames them], they turn towards him.
