  - EN (our paraphrase): And I understood then, from his holy speech and from his holy movements as he said this, that at that moment there had been revealed to him, in his awesome perceptions, how great the damage of an improper thought is, Heaven forbid, that it harms very, very much, may the Merciful One save us.
