No more ego ! | Shaykh Hamza Yusuf

Know that the body is like a town and the intellect of the mature human being is like a king ruling that town. All the forces of the external and internal senses he can muster are like his soldiers and his aides. The ego that enjoins evil ( nafs ammara), that is, lust and anger, is like an
enemy that challenges him in his kingdom and strives to slaughter his people.
The body thus becomes like a garrison-town or sea-outpost, and the soul like its custodian posted in it. If he fights against his enemies and defeats them and compels them to do what he likes, he will be
praised when he returns to God's presence.
