DIFFERENCE BETWEEN INFERIORITY COMPLEX AND TAWAZU (CONSIDERING OTHERS BETTER THAN ONESELF)

A person once asked a buzurg about difference between inferiority complex and Tawazu (considering others better than oneself). The buzurg said, "Inferiority complex means that a person considers himself inferior and gets hopeless that he can not do anything, and for that reason is unhappy with and starts blaming his Taqdeer (fate). Tawazu means that on seeing another person one thinks that maybe this other person is closer to Allah Ta'alah than I am and for that reason doesn't consider anyone else inferior to himself. When a person starts thinking like this he believes that every naimat (blessing) he gets is beyond what he deserved so he is not unhappy with fate, in fact he is grateful to Allah Ta'alah for every naimat he gets."
