‘In the Karbala of his heart, it may happen that the powers of the carnal soul kill the intellect and the angelic companions who assist it, and uproot all traces of them from man’s heart. Then indeed there is accomplished in each one of us, word for word, the ta’wīl of the tragedy of Karbala.”  - Henry Corbin, (Temple and Contemplation, 46)  See the essay in Isma'ili Gnosis HERE.
