This quote speaks to the Sufi concept of the heart as a mirror. The goal of life is to continuously polish this mirror so it can purely reflect the Divine light (or, for a secular audience, your true self).
The "dark clouds" are our attachments, ego, and negative habits.

Not hustle or aggression, but patience and perseverance in self-correction.
(From the works of Dr Haidar Bagir; interpretations on the purification of the heart.)
