시편 116:12의 Musar

To what is this analogous? To a destitute pauper who receives gifts as a kindliness and cannot help not feeling shame. The more kindness he receives, the more shame he feels. So too is this matter analogous to every man whose eyes are opened and can see himself, when he attains virtues from G-d, blessed be He. This is as king David said: "what shall I repay G-d for all His kindliness to me?" (Tehilim 116:12).

And when he contemplates further and pictures in his mind the moment he enters before the great Beit Din of the heavenly host, when he finds himself before the King of kings, the Holy One, blessed be He, who is absolutely pure and holy, in the midst of the assembly of holy ones, mighty servants, strong in power, obeying His word, without any blemish whatsoever, and he stands before them, base, lowly, and petty in and of himself, defiled and polluted due to his deeds. Will he then raise his head? Will he have what to answer? And when they ask him: "where has your mouth gone? Where is the pride and honor which you assumed in your world?"

What will he answer? What will he reply to this rebuke? Behold, certainly if for one moment, a person were to visualize in his mind this truth with a true and strong picture, all of his arrogance would blast off in flight, never to return.
