There is a great truth in what Christ has said in the sermon on the mount, that 'Blessed are the humble, for they will inherit the kingdom of the earth.' This will always prove true whatever be the time and evolution of the world. Be it the time of aristocracy, be it the period of democracy, the value of that nobility of nature which is expressed in graciousness, will always command its price. It is easy to know this word but most difficult to practise it through life, for there is no end to the thought that it needs to be given to every action in life. It wants judgement and the fair sense of weighing and measuring all one does. Besides that it needs the fine sense of art and beauty, for in making the personality finished, one attains to the highest degree of art. making of the personality is the highest art there is. The Sufi whose life's object is to cultivate humane attributes and in which lies the fulfilment of the purpose of his life, considers this as his religion.
