Lesson thirty six :What breaks man's back
Imam Bagher( A. S. )said:
ثَلثُ قَاصِماتُ الظَّهْرِ: رَجُلٌ إسْتَكْثَرَ عَمَلَهُ وَ نَسِىَ ذُنُوبَهُ وَ أَعْجَبَ بِرَأيِهِ
Translation
Three things demolish man: One who magnifies his good deed, and one who forgets his sins, and one who is opinionated..
Brief description
Those who magnify their deeds, surely are satisfied with that, and this attitude hinders them from progress and development.
And those who forget their sins, everyday are stained with a new sin instead of compensating their previous sins and will fall down suddenly.
And those who rely only on their own opinion, are deprived from the support of public thoughts and abundant minds and knowledge of others.
They are repeatedly involved in mistakes, and finally their back will break under the mass of problems.
