Translations:Yirmi Sekizinci Lem'a/62/en

He also loses sincerity in his actions that look to the hereafter and they become mixed with hypocrisy. He is defeated by the emotions and desires of the soul, which are blind to the consequences, do not think of results, and are obsessed with present pleasure; he serves a year’s prison sentence due to one hour’s pleasure demanded by his emotions, which have gone astray. He pays ten years’ penalty on account of one minute’s pride or revenge. Quite simply like a silly child who sells the portion of the Qur’an he is learning to buy a single sweet, in order to flatter his emotions, gratify his senses, and satisfy his appetites, he makes his diamond-like good deeds the means to egotistical pleasures as insignificant as fragments of glass, and he loses out in profitable works.
