Sixth aspect: Enmity and rancor spoil spiritual life and worship, for they spoil your sincerity and purity of intention—the means of salvation. Biased partisans seek superiority over their opponents while performing good deeds and so do not act purely for God’s sake. Slanting their judgments and dealings toward their supporters, they cannot be just. Their intention becomes impure, and their justice becomes injustice, both of which void their good deeds. This aspect requires elaboration, but we keep it short because this is not the place to discuss it further.
