Free will is the ability to choose, for one's own plans and actions,
what Almighty defines as preferred or right; what Almighty has
chosen for his own plans or actions.
When we demonstrate subservience, we will bring our words
and actions down to the level of the lowest person (by education,
social status, etc.) in the room, in order to reach them. By our
subservience, the Spirit of Almighty will exalt our words and
actions so the least in the room will hear and heed.
The remarkable thing about this principle is that it works in
reverse, for when we are the lowest in knowledge or intellect in
the room. We may be the one who is expecting to ask the wise
and educated in the room, to learn from them. In my experience,
this is unlikely to be the way Almighty works. Instead, we need to
be ready to be subservient to the least in the room. This is likely
the one Almighty has dispatched. That is why he said in verse 20:
- Amen [surely], Amen [surely], I say to you(p): The one
getting hold of whomsoever that I dispatch, gets hold of
me.
- And the one getting hold of me, gets hold of the one having
dispatched me.
When we humble ourselves, Almighty will exalt us with learning.
Often, he uses the lowliest in the room to be the teacher.
