First Purify Your Soul

If a person wishes to make use of his knowledge, he must first be spiritually purified.

Imam Khomeini always sought to guide his seminary students as while conducting classes he would say:

“Purify your soul. Cultivation of morals comes before the science of (spiritual) purification; and if a person wishes to make use of his knowledge, he must first be spiritually purified.”
