Superiority Complex Leads to Evil CONTENTS

English book, p. 420

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

have enough time and are in good health, will they involve themselves in such work. But in life it never happens that both health and time exist in their ideal form. In most cases, if one is in good health, there is no time and if one has the time, he is in poor health. Setting the conditions of health and time for achieving a higher goal means that a person will never be able to do anything for a higher purpose in life until, finally, death puts an end to everything. Life is punctuated by excuses. Sometime a person has the excuse of deteriorating health and sometimes he has the excuse of a lack of time. Now wisdom dictates that one should never use these things as excuses. Such excuses should be considered as being unworthy of consideration. Shortcomings in life are not meant to weaken a person’s resolve. Shortcomings in life should act rather as a driving force. The feeling of shortcoming or inadequacy should only increase one’s intellectual activity. The feeling of something being lacking should make a common person into an extraordinary person. A person should learn to work in spite of excuses and should continue his activities. It is such people who achieve higher goals in the present world and are destined for success and progress.
