18. When your self-importance is increased by the position [of authority] you are in, and this brings about arrogance or vanity in you, then look at the greatness of the authority of Allah and His power, the power which you do not even possess over yourself, for indeed this will mellow your recalcitrance, cure your vehemence and bring back to you that which had departed from you of your intellect.

18 إذا زادَ عُجْبُكَ بِما أنْتَ فيهِ مِنْ سُلْطانِكَ، فَحَدَثَتْ لَكَ أُبَّهَةٌ أو مَخيلَةٌ، فَانْظُرْ إلى عِظَمِ مُلْكِ اللّهِ وَقُدْرَتِهِ، مِمّا لاتَقْدِرُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ نَفْسِكَ، فَإنَّ ذلِكَ يُلَيِّنُ مِنْ جَماحِكَ، ويَكُفُّ عَنْ غَرْبِكَ، ويَفيءُ إلَيْكَ بِما عَزَبَ عَنْكَ مِنْ عَقْلِكَ.
