The one who has such a heart does not then see any other human being as bearing any impact on the domain of the Truthful One, nor does he expect any favor or distinction from anyone else. He will not then seek a station and fame among people. The heart will not be pretentious or deceptive. When you see pretension in the heart, he informed that your heart has not submitted to reason, nor has the light of conviction shone in it.

You will see someone efse other than Allah Afmighty as the influentiaf god; you wifl then be in the company of the pofytheists, or hypocrites, or apostates. Having explained the levels and basic origin of pretension, the Imam, may his shade endure, states a terse admonishment in which he brings to memory the awful outcome of pretension. In it, there is a reminding for one who has a heart, or who does listen and stands as a witness.

The master of divine sciences, Imam Khomeini, may his shade be prolonged, says the following : O pretender who has submitted the true beliefs and divine branches of knowledge to the enemy of Allah, namely Satan, thus giving the matters that are exclusively related to Allah, Praise to Him, to someone else.

You have taken out the celestial lights that used to shine in the soul and the heart and were the capital of salvation, eternal happiness, the fountainhead of the divine communion, the seeds for the company of the Loved One in the desolate darkness. You have permitted yourself to suffer eternal perdition, the capital of the distance from the holy place of the Loved One. You have shunned the meeting with the Almighty, the Truth....

So, be prepared for darkness beyond which there is no light at all, for hardship beyond which there is no ease, for ailments that have no cure, for death that has no life and for a fire that springs out of the depth of the heart and the domain of the soul, burning the domain of the body in a way which neither my heart nor yours can ever imagine, as Allah Almighty has already informed us in His Revealed Book and which He described in this sacred verse: "(It is) the Fire of (the Wrath of) Allah kindled (to a blaze) which mounts (right) to the hearts" (Qur'an, 104:7-8).

The Fire of Allah overwhelms the hearts and burns them. No fire can burn a heart other than Allah's Fire.
