Maulana, agla sawal Idris Sahab ne kiya hai Raipur se aur unhon ne likha hai ke Maulana, how do I know that I have an obsession? And secondly, if I come across a person who has an obsession, how can I make him realize that he has an obsession? Dekhen, har cheez ka talluq jo hai, contemplation se hai, soch se hai, tadabbur se hai. Koi bhi cheez ho, aap aadmi job ke mamle mein sochta hai, tab baaton ko samajhta hai. Business ke bare mein sochta hai, tab baaton ko samajhta hai. Aadmi apne bachon ko padhana hai to kahan padhaye, woh bhi sochta hai to samajhta

hai. Aise hi yahan bhi hai. Soch ko janiye is ko. Soch ko jante hue istemal karenge, hote jaane ke. Lekin soch ko objective andaaz mein istemal karna. Jis tarah shadi ka mamla hai, bachon ki taleem ka mamla hai, wahan khoob objective ban jata hai aadmi. Woh aise hi yahan bhi ban jayega. Maulana, agla ek comment aur question hai doctor Safina Tabassum ne bheja hai Ajmer se.

Unhon ne jo comment likha hai, woh is tarah hai ke Maulana, for deconditioning of the Muslim community, the first step should be to increase their interaction with other communities and take them out of their ghetto mentality. Maulana, am I right in my thinking? Kya matlab? Maulana, woh yeh keh rahi hain ke Muslim community ki deconditioning ke liye sab se zyada aham cheez jo hai, woh hai ke interaction ho doosri communities ke sath.

Isi se ghetto mentality se bahar aayenge woh. Haan, interaction ho, log padhen. Padhna bhi bohat zaroori hai. Study aur interaction dono equ ally important hain. Maulana, unka sawal hai. Unhon ne likha hai ke My question is that usually nobody likes to listen to the criticism.
