A disciple once asked, "Hazrat! Sometimes in the mosque when some labourer is standing next to me their clothes are drenched in sweat and there is a strong smell of sweat coming from them. Sometimes I stand apart from them and find it difficult to stand close to them. But then I started wondering whether I was doing this because of Takabbur (تکبّر، thinking of oneself as superior to everyone else)?" Hazrat said, "There are two factors to consider in this. The first is that they are smelling strongly of sweat and that is why you stand apart from them. That my be due to your nature and may not be a sin. The other is that you think they are inferior and worthless, and that is why it distresses you that these poor labourers are standing next to you, and that is why you move away from them. That would be Takabbur and if that is the case you need to treat it vigorously. Its treatment is that you stand as close to them as you can, regardless of how distasteful it is for your Nafs."
