In this episode, Shaykh Zahir Bacchus covers the 133rd aphorism of the Hikam : “Being shielded is of two kinds: being shielded from disobedience, and being shielded in disobedience. The ordinary ask Allah Most High to shield them in disobedience lest they fall from the regard of other people; while the elect ask Allah to be shielded from it, lest they fall before the True King.”
