 the souls that perceive rational things may enjoy them with a hidden enjoyment that falls short of what their nature requires. this is also due to the preoccupations of the body and the souls familiarity with its desires. an example of this is the example of a sick person who has a gall bladder in his mouth. he finds something good and sweet disgusting and finds food which is the most perfect means of pleasure for him repugnant so he does not enjoy it because of the illness that has occurred.
والنفوس المدركة للمعقولات قد تلتذ بها التذاذا خفيا قاصرا عما يقتضيه طباعه وذلك أيضا لشواغل البدن وأنس النفس بشهواتها. ومثاله مثال المريض الذي في فيه مرارة يستبشع الشيء الطيب الحلو ويستهجن الغذاء الذي هو أتم أسباب اللذة في حقه فلا يتلذذ به لما عرض من المرض.
