The Contrast of Jesus's Asceticism and Korah's Greed in Sanai's Hadiqat
In Section 24 of the Hadiqat al-Haqiqah, Sanai contrasts the asceticism of Jesus with the destructive greed of Korah. This concept illustrates how material greed degrades human dignity and leads to spiritual downfall, symbolized by Korah being swallowed by the earth, whereas ascetic detachment allows spiritual ascension, symbolized by Jesus being raised to heaven. This teaches seekers to preserve their honor by avoiding avarice.
