Besides this there are two forces working: the individual power and the collective power. In Sufi terms the one is qadr, the other qaza. Very often the individual power will not surrender. If this is not so, it is crushed. For an instance, in a country someone is called to the arms, but he says he will not join. In spite of all the beauty of his ideal he is helpless before the might of the whole nation. Here one must resign under the condition where there is a conflict between a less and a greater power; here resignation is the only solution.
