maulana, agla sawal kya hai miss naghma siddiqui ne dilli se. unhon ne likha hai: "what is the criteria to judge that we have arrogance in us?" is ke bar e mein batayein. dekhiye, mein jo samjha hoon nafsiyati aitbar se woh yeh hai ke jab aap ko tanqeed buri na lage aur tareef aap aur khush na hon, aap tab samjhiye ke aap ke andar arrogance nahi hai. phir suniye, jab aap ko criticism buri na lage aur praise aap ko khush na kare, tab samjhiye ke aap ke andar arrogance nahi hai. aur jab tak aisa ho ke aap koi criticize kare to aap offend ho jayein, aur praise kare to aap khush hon, to is ka matlab hai ke aap ke andar fakhr hai, pride hai, arrogance hai.
