Aphorism - 462, 463
462In our ignorance we are like children proud of our success in walking erect and unaided and too eager to be aware of the mothers steadying touch on the shoulder. When we wake, we look back and see that God was leading and upholding us always.
463At first whenever I fell back into sin, I used to weep and rage against myself and against God for having suffered it. Afterwards it was as much as I could dare to ask, Why hast thou rolled me again in the mud, O my playfellow? Then even that came to my mind to seem too bold and presumptuous; I could only get up in silence, look at him out of the corner of my eyesand clean myself.
So long as man prides himself on his virtue, the Supreme Lord will make him fall into sin to teach him the necessity of modesty.
