Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS
English book, p. 360
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
The feeling of pride and self-glorification is not something simple. It eats up all of a person’s virtues. It is a permanent obstacle to the development of noble qualities. Pride makes a person an egotist. And one who is an egotist lives as if he has encased himself in his personal shell. Such a person is totally lacking in the ability to understand external realities and benefit from others. He fails to make anything external to him a ladder to progress. When such a person does anything virtuous, that also conveys a feeling of pride. Whatever he does he does for show. His activities revolve around his own self. In reality the better part of a person’s activities should be that which is external to his ‘shell’. Nature wants to see a person as modest. But a conceited person suffers from the delusion of greatness and loves acknowledgement of his imagines greatness. But it is he who demonstrates a lack of acknowledgement. Such a person wants to be given a very special place, but he does not acknowledge the contribution of others.
