Mussar: What Could Be Worse than Sins?!

From Derech Emet

Chovot HaLevavot, Shaar Avodat HaElokim, chapter 4:

A pious man once said to his students:

If you had no sins, I would be worried about you
for something more severe than sins.

They said to him: What is worse than sins?!?!

He answered them: Arrogance and haughtiness, as is it written:

G_D DETESTS EVERY PERSON WITH AN ARROGANT HEART
(Mishlei / Proverbs, chapter 16, verse 5).
