And when I understood that the lack of concern for the world is because concern for it does not increase it, and neglecting it does not decrease it, it became clear that this only leads to hastening distress through toil and hardship. It was previously mentioned that a bad deed is one of the causes of destruction. This leads to spending it on its rights, turning away from it, signaling its humiliation, and being certain that this is its fulfillment, its investment, and its extraction.
