A Rabbi was adored by the community, except for Issac , who never missed out any chance to point out faults in his teachings. Others too were annoyed by Issac. One day, Issac died. During the funeral, the community noticed that the Rabbi was deeply upset.
"Why are you so sad?" someone commented, "he was always criticizing everything you said."
The Rabbi said, " I'm not upset about my friend who is now in heaven. I am upset for my own self. While everyone revered me, he challenged me, and I was obliged to improve. Now he is gone, and I'm afraid I shall stop growing."
"Why are you so sad?" someone commented, "he was always criticizing everything you said."
