Reflections: Imam Ali ؑ identifies a critical psychological flaw: how **Greed ($Tama’$)** blinds the rational mind. He compares greed to a sudden “flash of lightning” that momentarily dazzles the eyes, making a person lose their footing. When a person is overcome by the desire for immediate gain, they stop thinking logically and ignore the consequences of their actions. True intellect is staying grounded and not letting the temporary “shine” of worldly desires lead to a spiritual or moral fall.
