My dear ones! Practice piety

My dear ones! My children! Practice piety; gain piety for your own good. Piety means to be careful not to commit sins; to avoid moral decline. For example, imagine you are hiking a mountain trail. If you act out of negligence in any steps you take, your destiny will be put at risk; thus for every step you take you have no other way than taking it carefully. This is the meaning of piety. Ayatollah Khamenei, 12/7/2000
