Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

matters of life. In social life it repeatedly happens that someone becomes embroiled in some problems, while some other person has the power to help him surmount his difficulties. All such occasions are precious opportunities for people to be kind to their brothers, thus receiving kindness from God in large measure. Relieving the burden of another results in relieving his own burden. Coming to the help of others ultimately benefits the helper; his own problem is then solved. One who fulfils the needs of others gets God’s attention and God fulfils his need on a greater scale. Moreover, becoming perturbed on finding someone in difficult circumstances in one respect is a humane attitude. One thus perturbed, proves that he is a good human being. Another benefit is that by attending to others’ need, he earns God’s blessing for the good deeds he has done. The reward in the Hereafter is for the work done in this world. And, doubtless, there is no blessing greater than this.
