His answer, in his own words
51:41
maulana, agla sawal faheem sahib ne kiya hai nagpur se, aur unhon ne likha hai ke maulana, i want to develop strong conviction in god, but find myself lacking in it. How can I create strong connection like you have? Please advise me. Dekhiye, sirf aik hi formula hai, voh hai apnay aap ko distraction se bachana. bas aik hi cheez hai, distraction se bachana. log phansay rehtay hain idhar udhar God mein aur chahtay hain ke God ka ki marifat unhein hasil ho. to yeh impasibal hai.

kisi ka shair hai ke ke hum khuda khwahi o hum dunya don ai khyalast o maharast o junoon. to apnay ko aap jab tak distract nahin karein gay, doosri cheezon se hata kar ke, aap apna focus nahin karein gay, tab tak kuch nahin honay wala. distractions se bachane ka matlab hai apna focus other God se hatana aur God par focus dalna. yeh to aap ko khud karna paray ga. koi bahar se aadmi ko aap ko koi taiknik nahin bata sakta.
