humble and sycophantic; they would never think of putting on airs
to them. It is not hard to imagine the kind of language that someone
in Egypt, Bangladesh or Palestine who has seen Europe will use, or
the way he will look down on ordinary people. People who live in a
state of great feelings of inferiority in Europe or America, and sla-
vishly do everything they are told, suddenly develop an entirely dif-
ferent character when they return to their own countries, as if that
despised person had not really been them at all. That is another
manifestation of putting on airs. What is embarrassing is that poor,
ordinary people are generally mightily impressed by such airs and
regard the person concerned as terribly special.
Yet the moral values and qualities that should really be admired
are those of the believer. The character of the believer, who knows
that God is the Lord of all blessings, that power and might belong to
Him alone and who is fully submitted to Him, is as steady as a rock.
It is sturdy and unshakeable. That person knows that he is dealing
with shadow entities and that God witnesses him at all times. He
never stoops to the facile. He is ultra modern and high-quality. He
lives by the moral values desired by God, not by those of the people
who would wish to shape him. He knows that the lords and masters,
whom the pseudointellectual sycophants regard as very important
and enslave themselves to, are just helpless servants of God and
mortal beings. The respect and value he places on someone is
directly proportional to that person’s love and fear of God. He will
never be rude to anyone, but he knows how humiliating it is to feel
inferior in the face of weak and helpless human beings. The only
entity to Whom the believer will sincerely submit himself is God.
