Demanding Ego and Its Symbolism

Malakian says: Najmuddin al-Razi tried to make a distinction between the qualities of the Jesus a.s and the Antichrist (Dajjal) through parables. He said:
…”And the Antichrist is represented in you as your ‘demanding ego.’ The Antichrist is one-eyed, just like your ego (nafs), seeing only the world and being blind to the hereafter. Whatever the Antichrist presents as heaven is actually hell, and what he presents as hell is really heaven; by the same token, the ego presents carnal passions and pleasures as paradisical, though they are actually infernal, and it presents one’s spritual devotion and worship as hellish, though they are really heavenly in nature.”…
Nurbkhsh, J. Jesus in the eyes of the Sufis.
