A pious poor woman in the slums of Bombay is better than the stupid queen of England
Humans love to distinguish themselves from each other. I am better than you and you are better than your neighbor. We both are not equal but others are more equal. No justice in this world. However, The real criterion is not one of class, position, power, riches, honors, command, race, color, birth or place, but it is rather piety to god that distinguishes humans in the sight of God.
In our world there are so many classes and strata that is bewildering and brining nausea. Humans, according to their poor or rich status, position or living in the slums, having influence or void of influence, practicing power and bereft of power, born in a classy family or coming from a miserable background.
Humans love to raise one another above themselves and make lords and patrons, they worship them and devote themselves to their service. Humans exploit one another and love to be patrons and slaves to one other, in one way or the other. Humans like authority, otherwise, authority disappears.
Humans make themselves into classes, into hierarchies. Look at the armies all over the world. No equality but a rotten system of control and command. Look at the Church, anywhere, priests, rabbis, imams, love to dominate and control their perishes. Look at any administration and you shall see what I mean.
Look at any three friends, one bastard dominates the other two. This is even observed in the two-person relation. In families this is the same phenomenon, the tribe, the club, the party, the state and any society, there those who dominate and others the dominated. In any human system you have a hierarchy.
But money, position, power, class, influence or honor are not the criterion of distinction in the sight of the All Mighty God. It is Piety only that distinguishes people from one another.
On the Day of reckoning only the criterion of piety shall be applied to distinguish between the poor woman of the slums of Bombay and the stupid Queen of England.
