Maulana, ahmedabad se javed sahib ne sawal bheja hai, unhon ne likha hai: "Molana, anger has a positive aspect also. When you express your anger, the opposite party takes you seriously and listens to the angry person as compared to a person who is quiet and is not angry. So anger is good. What is your opinion on this aspect?" yeh bilkul galat baat hai, yeh aap ne farz kar liya hai, intehai galat baat hai yeh. ab phir se yeh is ka tajruba kijiye aap. ghussa aik shaitani feal hai, ghussa aik shaitani feal hai.

ghussay mein is ke siwa kuch nahi, ghussa apnay ko barbaad karna hai, khud apnay ko barbaad karna hai. yeh jo aap ne farz banaya hai, yeh sarta sar ghalat hai aur aap ne usay bana liya hai. kabhi aap ne is ka amal nahi, tajruba nahi kiya kabhi is ka. Okay, we will end this session now. Thank you.
