"I saw my lower self within the sort of a rat. I asked, "Who are you?" It replied, "I am the destruction of the heedless, for I incite them to wickedness. I'm the salvation of the friends of God, for if it weren't for ME, they might be pleased with their purity and their actions. once they see me in themselves, all their pride disappears."*
