"A brother sought out an old man and said to him, 'What shall I do? I am tortured by pride.' The old man said to him, 'You are right to be proud, since it is you who made heaven and earth.' At this the brother katanugeis, touched with compunction, made a prostration and said, 'Forgive me, I have done nothing of the sort.'"
