An old man said, ' When the thought of pride goes up in you, and you become arrogant, examine your conscience [and see] if you have kept all the commandments, and if you love your enemies, and if you loves t the approbation of your enemy, and if you are grieved when he is afflicted, and if you are considered by yourself to be an unprofitable servant, and a sinner greater than any other man. And even if you have performed rightly all the demands of ascetic excellence, you will not be proud, far you must know that the thought of pride abrogates and makes unprofitable all the virtues.'
