The world thinks that meekness is weakness. It wants that we should be aggressive enough to return tit for tat for offences caused to us. Far from being weakness, meekness is the inner strength (spiritual force) that enables us to control aggressiveness and violent nature in each one of us. Without this controlling force, the animal nature in us will come out with full vigour. If we allow intellectual pride to take control of our minds, we can become unteachable and begin to think we know everything or have heard it before, or have answers for all problems of life. When we put on this type attitude we forget that only God holds the key to all problems and there is so much to learn from even simple and ordinary people. Sometimes I am put to shame by the patience of uneducated workers who work in our institutions. When I become restless and impatient at the lack of instant results, they say: “Ho jayega” (it will happen gradually; don’t worry).
