In a conversation Hazrat once said, "Hazrat Doctor sahib (Dr Abdul Hai Arfi RA) Qadas Sarah used to say a human being's Nafs seeks pleasure. It makes a person do the activities it derives pleasure from, over and over again. That is why it makes a person repeat sinful activities. You re-train your Nafs by repeated effort so that it starts deriving pleasure from abstention from sins. It will then start forcing you to abstain from sins."
