Meek
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.
Heaven and Hell #30
30. The interiors of a man which belong to his internal mind (mens) and his external mind (animus) are also in like order. He has an inmost, a middle and an outermost part. For when man was created, all things of Divine order were brought together in him, so that he became Divine order in form, and consequently, a heaven in the least form. 1 For this reason man, as regards his interiors, has communication with the heavens. Also he comes, after death, among angels, among those of the inmost, middle or outermost heaven in accordance with the reception of Divine good and truth from the Lord while he lived in the world.
Footnotes:
1. [Swedenborg's footnote] All things of Divine order are brought together in man, and by creation man is Divine order in form (Arcana Coelestia 3628, 4219-4220, 4223, 4523-4524, 5114, 5608, 6013, 6057, 6605, 6626, 9706, 10156, 10472).
In man the internal man was formed after the image of heaven, and the external after the image of the world, and this is why man was called by the ancients a microcosm (Arcana Coelestia 4523, 5608, 6013, 6057, 9279, 9706, 10156, 10472).
Thus man in respect of his interiors is by creation a heaven in least form after the image of the greatest; and such also man becomes when he has been created anew or regenerated by the Lord (Arcana Coelestia 911, 1900, 1928, 3624-3631, 3634, 3884, 4041, 4279, 4523-4524, 4625, 6013, 6057, 9279, 9632).
