For instance...

For instance, an aware physician and expert who knows the various kinds of microbes well is never prepared to drink the polluted water or wear the dirty clothes of a person who is diagnosed with one of the most dangerous contagious diseases, whereas an illiterate person, perhaps, would be indifferent to such a thing. With another simple example, we reach the point that however much the level of a person rises in the area of awareness, they are less likely to do evil or ugly deeds.

Taking into consideration that if a person’s faith and awareness were to rise and have so much faith in God and His court of justice so that everything that he sees is present before his eyes, such a person will be free of all sin and every ugly deed in relation to him, like walking naked through the streets, will be in our eyes only.

For such a person, the property of something forbidden is just like the flames of fire, and just like we do not put fire in our mouths, he does not put something which is forbidden into his mouth. We can then conclude that the Prophets, because of the extraordinary knowledge, awareness and faith they have, tame the motives of sin and the most exciting factors causing sin will not prevail upon his intellect and faith.

This is why we say that the Prophets are immaculate; they are insured against sin.
