Take Five for Torah Program

The reason that the
"worldly" are so self-assured, and the
pious, for the most part, so far from a
similar degree of self-assurance, is
that the former feel they have mastered
their world, whereas the latter realize
how far they are from having mastered
theirs.

Candle by Day by Rabbi Shraga
