[Pooya/Ali Commentary 29:64] Aqa Mahdi Puya says: Refer to the commentary of An-am: 32. The comforts and hardships of the life of this world are not important. They are a test and trial. The life of hereafter is real and eternal.

1. World: The world is made up, for the most, of fools and knaves, both irreconcilable to Truth. First being slaves to a blind credulity (bigotry), the last, too jealous of that power. They have usurped over folly and ignorance of others which the establishment of the empire of reason would destroy (in resurrection). 2. Contact with the world either breaks or hardens the heart (hence be disinterested in worldly affairs). 3. The life of the mere votary of the world is, of all others, the most uncomfortable for which is his god, does not always favour him, and which should be never. 4. To understand the world is wiser than condemn it. To study the world is better than to shun it. To use the world (to eternal end) is nobler than to abuse it. 5. Buying, possessing, accumulating (for the future state) merely with a view to secure Divine Will is not worldliness but to do it for the love of the world is bad. 6. Never forget to thank God for His countless bounties by acting on Godly ways in all walks of life. Get attached to Divine refuge in preference to be far away from Him. 7. Of all duties, love for truth with faith and constancy in its ranks first and highest. To serve God and love truth are one and the same, i.e. why it is said, “Peace if possible, but Truth, at any rate, c.f. “Lives of Ali and Hussain.”
