Lesson nine :Source of arrogance

It is narrated from Imam Sadegh AS:

ما مِنْ رَجُلٍ تَجَبَّرَ أَوْ تَكَبَّرَ إلّا لِذِلَّةٍ يَجِدُها فِى نَفْسِهِ‌

Translation

No one boasts to the others unless for the inferiority he feels in himself!.

Brief description

Nowadays, psychological and psychoanalytic researches have proved that arrogance and boasting to others is nothing else than an inferiority complex. Those who are affected to this complex and suffer from it, resort to this wrong way that is magnifying themselves artificially for compensating their deficiencies, and thereby they add to their social inferiority and make themselves more hated.

This psychological point is clearly observed in the miraculous speech narrated from Imam Sadegh A. S. But the faithful people are always modest before others due to their internal dignity.
