Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

English book, p. 336

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

When there is goodness in a person’s heart when he meets others, his happiness and contentment will show on his face. When he speaks, his words will reflect his feeling of well-wishing. His moral behaviour will be evident in all situations, whether or not others have treated him well. Furthermore, his good behaviour will be genuine and not something artificial. What is evil or bad behaviour? The criterion is to be found within a person’s heart and conscience. When anyone thinks of anything bad or indulges in any illicit acts, the voice of conscience immediately alerts him to his wrongdoing. In silent language his conscience keeps telling him that this is wrong and you must stop doing it. If a person follows the voice of his conscience, he will never stoop to evil. By means of this voice of conscience, God wants everyone to discipline himself. Overlooking the voice of conscience is like ignoring the voice of God.
