yahi spirituality meri samajh se yahi hai. maulana, agla sawal roorkee se hai, sajid anwar sahab ka. unhon ne aapse poocha hai: "what is how to differentiate between distraction and necessity?" jo bohat aasan hai. aap need jo hai, haqeeqi need, us ko define kar lijiye. to need ke waqt jab aap kahin involve karein apne aap ko, to woh distraction nikal jayega.

lekin jab need se alawa jo cheez hoti hai, wahan aap daur padein to woh distraction khana aa jayega. dekhen, is mein koi hard nafz rule doosra nahi bata sakta hai. khud har aadmi soch kar ke jaan sakta hai ke yeh mere liye necessity hai ya distraction hai. is ke is ka koi yani external koi role nahi bana sakta. is ka har aadmi khud hi jaan sakta hai ke ke kab aisa hai, kab waisa hai. jo aadmi bohat ziyada apna jo samajh chuka ho, purpose of life, kisi plan of god achhe tareeqe se, to us ko koi mushkil nahi hota yeh samajhna.
