BEYOND YOUR MIGHT
.الإمامُ عليٌّ (عَلَيهِ الّسَلامُ): إزَالَةُ الرَّوَاسِي أسْهَلُ مِنْ تَأْلِيفِ القُلُوبِ المُتَنَافِرَةِ
“Moving mountains is easier than bringing hostile hearts together.”
Imam Ali (a)
(Bihar Al-Anwar V. 78)
(Bihar Al-Anwar V. 78)
This saying is addressing the magnetic nature of the heart. Just like everything else, a human heart has its own magnetic field which is much stronger than that of the brain. The magnetic field produced by the heart is more than 100 times greater in strength than the field generated by the brain and can be detected up to 3 feet away from the body. The heart's magnetic field, which is the strongest rhythmic field produced by the human body, not only envelops every cell of the body but also extends out in all directions into the space around us. No wonder our thoughts and emotions affect the heart’s magnetic field, which energetically affects those in our environment whether or not we are conscious of it.
This asserts that the hearts that are out of alignment with each other and are not vibrating at the same frequency, need to be healed in order to synchronize and attain union.

Making it simpler, our heart is like a magnet. When two hearts attract each other, nothing in all creation has ever been able to keep them apart. Likewise, when two hearts repel each other, nothing in all creation has ever been able to bring them close. Though ‘moving mountains’ here is a rhetorical expression, it is actually, in literal terms, easier than bringing hostile hearts together as here you at least hold the power to use your own will, contrary to connecting bitter hearts, where you are volitionless as a third person.
The apt usage of the following Arabic words have given this quote a deeper and profound meaning:
- قلب: heart, center, core, essence, consciousness.
- متنافر (mutually): conflicted, disharmonic, incoherent, hostile, incompatible. This means if these two hearts wish to forgive and choose to love each other, they can. But, someone other than them cannot do anything to change the situation.
To summarize, it is impossible for a person to unite the repelling, and split the harmonious hearts.
