When realizing once own fault

[Spirit of Light]

Some time ago i answered in a OP that the correct way was to only look inward to gain wisdom and to correct once self.
This may have been wrong view and i realize that my past could be misleading others.

After a lot of study in sufi scripture i realize that to gain higher wisdom, it is also important to understand the physical realm and how as a human being i am affected spirituality by the physical world too. To much inward looking and to little outward understanding is not good either.

Any thoughts?

Sensible. You can't ignore everything around you, even if you're trying the best with your spiritual life. The outer affects the inner and the other way.

Exactly. I feel they reflect each other. It's like, in my opinion, why people kneel to pray, study using their scripture, use fire in spiritual practice, or ritual; it's joining the spiritual and physical to unite ones whole self in practice. Though this does make me wonder how islam teaches this physical/spiritual connect after death

IMO, the only beneficial spiritual pursuits are the ones that help us to navigate the physical world.
We are gods of the spiritual world. Whatever gods, whatever afterlife, whatever superpowers you believe are given. Maybe this is a boost to one's ego.
Practical wisdom for a practical physical reality.

, it is also important to understand the physical realm and how as a human being i am affected spirituality by the physical world too. To much inward looking and to little outward understanding is not good either.

In the past, people isolated themselves from the physical world in retreats and monasteries. To me, the world is different now and that's not possible or helpful for extended periods of time.

So that makes good sense to me.

When we give our own thoughts in the form of advice, we can be wrong. I am not a young person any more, my parents have died, and I often think of things I did wrong to them. Of course, they did things wrong, too. But there are things I regret. And I can't change them. But I hope I will see them again. And they will see their parents and siblings. And we will change.

To answer what islam teach can be a bit tricky because i am sure there are different understanding and views, in sufism i realized our answers look different than sunni and Shia muslims

But when i made this OP i had realized that how I act speak and think in the physical realm do kind of reflect how I do it spiritually. Everything co exist and if my spiritual "self" is not up to the task (weak) it means it show in how i am seen as a physical person too.

In the past i thought if i "removed" all of the "Me" in the physical world i would become a better spiritual person, that was a mistake on my part.

Well yeah, it is important for dispelling delusion.
