Universal Model
English book, p. 21
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
UNIVERSAL MODEL The study of the world of nature tells us that everything gives to others without demanding anything in return. For example, the sun generously gives us light but does not extract any price. The air continuously supplies oxygen, but it does not take any compensation. Similarly, many creatures and things are involved in serving people without any recompense. None of them presents a bill to the people who benefit from them. One learns that the world around us is a giver world. It is as if the culture of this world is a giver culture. Everything in this world continuously sends out this message—become a giver for others rather than just being a taker. Man must adopt this same giver culture in his personal and social life. The universe around man is a model for him to emulate in this regard. The secret of man’s success lies in adopting this model in his life. The only difference is that this model of submission is established under the law of nature compulsorily in the rest of the world, while man must consciously establish this universal model of submission through his own free choice.
