His supplication seeking refuge from show-off

The Alawite Book ยท 1 passage

1

In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful O Allah! I seek refuge from You in being with goodness among people and my inner self is full of defects in Your presence. I conceal my inner self just to portray my outer self to the people but You are aware of the true position better than me. It is as if I show people goodness and my evil defects are clear to You, so that I am beloved of Your creatures and far away from Your Pleasure.
