The Pious and the Wicked
From Jewish Literature
Al-Ahmadiyya, August 1979 Issue (Vol. 1, No. 8, p. 9)
A zaddik [Hasidic spiritual leader or guide] was asked:
“Why is it that the pious man seems less eager to persuade others to become virtuous than the impious man to gain companions in wickedness?”
He replied:
“The man of piety walks in light and is not afraid to walk alone, whereas the man of impiety walks in darkness and is anxious for company.”
