Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

English book, p. 394

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

A farmer has a good yield from his farm when he fully cooperates with the nature’s law of agriculture. Similarly, an engineer is able to perform any technical feat when he fully conforms to the laws of nature regarding physics and chemistry. Exactly the same is true of the human world. The human world has to abide by the fixed laws of nature. Here, success is destined only for those individuals or nations who conform to these principles which have been laid down in advance by nature. No person has the power to ignore the laws of nature when he sets himself to building a successful life in this world for himself. In the map of nature what we can achieve by hard work, we cannot achieve by making concessions. What we can achieve by patience, we cannot achieve by hasty actions. What we can achieve through the power of peace, we cannot achieve by violence. What we can achieve gradually, we cannot achieve at one fell swoop.
