Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

English book, p. 350

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

A person ought to think along constructive lines and avoid distractions in all situation. He should utter only those words which are right and proper, and where he thinks he cannot do so, he should remain silent. In his dealings with people, he should bind himself to the principle of justice, and should not ever deal with people unjustly. His behaviour should be responsible rather than irresponsible. He should completely avoid irresponsible behaviour. Where a horse is bound by a material rope, a human being is bound by the divine moral and human principles laid down by God. A horse is compelled to remain within the ambit allowed by his rope. The same is true of a person when he adopts a life of principles. A person’s nobility is to remain bound by principles of self-restraint. He should adopt a life of restraint willingly and of his own choice such as the horse has adopted by compulsion.
