Foreword
English book, p. 11
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Foreword travel in their own respective orbits. A human being has to follow this same course in his life. That is, a person has to engage in activities in his own sphere, keeping clear of the spheres of others. Trees are physiologically so constituted that they exhale oxygen. This is used by living creatures such as animals and humans. Living beings exhale carbon dioxide which is in turn inhaled by trees. This system has been put in place in the universe by God. The same symbiotic relationships are required of people. In human society, all must be of use to others. Everyone should work for the benefit of his or her fellow human beings. Springs come out of mountains and fall upon rocks. In the course of their journey downstream, they do not break the rocks but rather flow around their sides. The same course has to be adopted by a person in all his activities, that is, instead of going at problems head-on, he should try to ignore them and by availing of opportunities, build his life. Vapours rise from the seas and take the form of clouds and then fall back down on earth in the form of rains. Rainfall does not differentiate between one country and another. It equally gives water to all fields and orchards. The same should be true of human beings.
