The Seventh Talk Penitence-another weapon
in the hands of a Momin
Satan makes all his possible efforts to put man in the
morass of sin. But if the man expresses penitence at
that time from the depths of his heart, Satan's heart
would then shatter into smithereens with disappointment.
But the enemy is very cunning. He strives hard to see
that the person fails to reach the threshold of penitence
and forgiveness. Satan now infuses an inspiration into
the heart of his subject, " What has happened?
What big sin you have committed that you are so ashamed!
Don't you notice around you that others are committing
bigger sins and happily living! You are still young.
Even if penitence is necessary, you can do that when
you are old. At that time penitence will be ideal that
you will be weak and sickly and you may not have strength
to break your resolve of penitence. This is the time
of your youth. How do you expect to keep your promise
of abstinence after expressing penitence?"
