Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

English book, p. 393

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

WE HAVE TO FOLLOW THE LAWS OF NATURE What we can achieve through the patience and peace, we cannot achieve by violence. What we can achieve gradually, we cannot achieve at one fell swoop. S uccess is to live in accordance with the system of nature as laid down by God. This is the secret of life, whether it concerns the life of the individual or the state or society at large. The world in which we find ourselves was not created by us. Nor were we consulted about its creation by God. This world has been built on certain immutable principles, is governed by these principles, the world will go on functioning in the same way. This means that in this world our position is secondary, and we have to coordinate unilaterally with the system of nature. If we do not adjust to it, it is we who shall be the losers and not the world.
