The benefit of self-reproach

 
When we reproach ourselves we use our strength and we become stronger—spiritually, of course.  Why this is, we do not know.  This is a law of spiritual life.  Just as in our physical life we are strengthened by food, so also in the spiritual life our spiritual powers are strengthened by self-reproach.
