maulana, agla sawal tamil nadu se hai, maulana hassan umri ka. unhon ne likha hai: "Maulana, one of the non-Muslim brother asked me that what is the measurement of spirituality? How can I address this question?" bhai, spirituality ka dekhen, ek to bohat jo sufi log ya aur doosre log mante hain, woh woh hai heart based, yani mabni bar qalb. to heart based spirituality ko mein nahi manta. mera jo concept hai, woh heart based nahi hai, mabni bar qalb nahi hai.

mera hai mind based. mein mind based spirituality ko manta hoon. isi liye mein spirituality ke liye doosra jo lafz bolta hoon, woh hai positive thinking. woh log jo bolte hain, woh bohat hi is mein ambiguous term un ke nazdeek hai. woh woh koi well defined term nahi hai un ke haan. spirituality yani akhlaq aur spirituality mein farq nahi kar paate woh log. to mein apni samajh se jo mein ne samjha hai ke spirituality koi kisi ambiguous cheez ka naam nahi hai. woh wohi cheez jis ko hum kehte hain positive thinking, yani negativity mein jeete hue apne aap ko positive thinker bahar rakhna.
