Imam Ali (AS) said, Move closer to your soul by retracting from it (I mean that you should move towards your loftier and higher self which has been adapted from the light of your intellect and acts as a barrier between you and the inclinations of your base nature; and by retracting I mean you should retract from the soul that commands to evil and shakes hands with defiance).
الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ) : أقْبِلْ عَلى نَفْسِكَ بِالإدْبارِ عَنْها (أعْنِي أنْ تُقْبِلَ عَلى نَفْسِكَ الفاضِلَةِ المُقْتَبِسَةِ مِنْ نُورِ عَقْلِكَ الْحائِلَةِ بَيْنَكَ وَ بَيْنَ دَواعِي طَبْعِكَ وَ أعْنِي بِالإدْبارِ اَلإدْبارَ عَنْ نَفْسِكَ الأمّارَةِ بِالسُّوءِ اَلمُصافِحَةِ بِيَدِ الْعُتُوِّ)
