When you delight in hearing evil talk, be angry with yourself and not with the speaker. For listening in a sinful way makes the messenger seem sinful. If you come across people gossiping idly, consider yourself responsible for their talk - if not on account of some recent fault of your own, then because of an old debt.

Without remembrance of God, there can be no true knowledge but only that which is false. Deeper spiritual knowledge helps the hard-hearted man: for unless he has fear, he refuses to accept the labor of repentance. Unquestioning acceptance of tradition is helpful for a gentle person, for then he will not try God's patience or often fall into sin. Do…
