The word "meek" is used just a handful of times in the Bible, but it is attributed several times to the Lord and is used in the beginning of the Sermon on the Mount, so it has somewhat of a high profile. "The meek" means "people in the good of charity," which means people who love to do what is good for other people and from that love have an understanding of how to serve.

9329. 'To whom you come' means because of the Lord's presence. This is clear from the meaning of 'coming to someone' as presence, as in 5934, 6063, 6089, 7498, 7631. The reason why the Lord's presence is meant is that the subject is the power of truth against evils and falsities, and all truth and its power emanate from the Lord. The children of Israel furthermore, to whom these words refer, mean truths that are received from the Lord, that is, spiritual truths, see 5414, 5879, 5951, 7957, 8234, 8805.
