To avoid ardent love and passion (9-8)

Beware of falling in love with appearances, such love is beset with anxiety and perpetual misery. It is a blessing for a Believer that he stays away from messages found in lyrics and music, messages about ardent love, unrequited love, or separation from one’s object of love.

In reproaching himself, an One poets wrote the following:
“I am the one who has brought death a knocking, Then who is to blame when the murdered is the murderer.”
He is blaming himself for the perpetual pain and misery that he experienced, finally recognizing that by falling in passionate love and then by not being able to fall out of it, he alone was to blame for his woes.
