Lesson eighty :Do not listen to all utterances !

Imam Javad( A. S. )says:

مَنْ أَصْغَى إلى ناطِقٍ فَقَدْ عَبَدَهُ فَانْ كَانَ النّاطِقُ عَنِ اللّهِ فَقَدْ عَبَدَ اللّهَ وَ إنْ كانَ النّاطِقُ يَنْطِقُ عَنْ لِسانِ إِبْلِيسَ فَقَدْ عَبَدَ إبْلِيْسَ‌

Translation

One who listens to an orator, has worshiped him.

Thus if the orator talks from God side, he has worshipped God, and if he talks from the tongue of Iblis, he has worshipped Iblis..

Brief description

Utterance, whatsoever and from whoever it may be, has an effect, and listening to the utterances is usually accompanied with an impression in man's heart, and since the purposes of orators are different, some of them talk about the truth and some about the falsehood, submission to each of these two groups is a kind of worship because the essence of worship is nothing else than submission.

Therefore, those who listen to truthful utterances are truth worshippers and those who listen to false utterances are false worshippers. So one should avoid issuing the circles of false speakers and should not allow their dark utterances to reach depths of their souls through the channel of ear.
