Maulana, agla sawal Delhi se hai Dr. Fareeda Khanam ka. unhon ne likha hai God is all powerful and a source of great conviction, but we need to reach the last level of helplessness to receive His help. How can we achieve such helplessness? dekhiye as a fact insan helpless hi hai. mein to har waqt apne helplessness ko daryaft karta hoon. har waqt. mislan agar farz kijiye ke mein aik glass uthaoon. is par aap jante hain aik cover hai. cover uthaoon to yeh slip kar ke gir jayega kabhi. aisa hota hai. chamcha gir jayega. yani rozana aise waqiat hote hain jis mein aap apni helplessness ko daryaft karein.

helplessness ko. to yeh to aik waqia hai. mein to roz sochta hoon ke maine khana khaya. agar digestive system mera kaam na kare to khana bekar hai. agar suraj na ho to meri aankh bekar hai. mein suraj ke baghair aankh se dekh nahin sakta hoon mein. agar oxygen ke supply ka nizam Khuda ki taraf se na ho to mein kya karunga? mar jaunga mein. kyunke mein saans lunga aur oxygen nahi milega mujhe.

to koi bhi cheez aisi nahi hai jismein aap ko helplessness ka tajurba na ho. mein bolta hoon, yeh bhi sochta hoon ke abhi mein speechless ho sakta hoon. yaani zabaan se dimagh ka rishta kat jaye to mein helpless hoon. to yeh ismein yaani awakening ki baat hai. yaani awakened mind jo hai, agar ho kisi ke andar awakened mind to har lamha woh apne helplessness ko daryaft karega. agar awakened mind hai. so sara maamla is par depend karta hai ke aadmi ke andar awakened mind paida hua ke nahi hua.

to is ke andar intellectual development hua hai ke nahi hua hai. agar hua hai to insaan ka har har second, har lamha batata hai ke mein helpless hoon. mein helpless hoon. mera to tajurba bhi yahi hai zindagi ke bare mein. maulana, dilli se agla sawal kiya hai amjad ahmad sahib ne
