6:29maulana, agla sawal saharanpur se hai, syed mohsin bilal sahib ka. Unhon ne likha hai: "Since four days I have been in Delhi. I am very sad to see the Delhiites. They are totally trapped in consumer and entertaining culture. They sleep late and they get up late at twelve in the morning. I try to do Dawa work but nobody is ready to listen. They think they are intelligent. So how to give message to these kind of intelligent people?"
7:05dekhiye, aisa hundred percent nahi hai. Aap seeker ko talash kijiye. Seeker. Isi mein ek shakhs seeker hoga. misalan mein bata doon aap ko aaj hi ka experience, aaj ka. hamare paas ek sahab aaye jo senior professor, woh ab retire ho gaye hain. Un ke, yaani, woh eighties ke late eighties mein hain woh us waqt. toh woh khud bhi English mein kitabein likhi hain unhone. Toh hamare paas aaye, ab taqreeban der tak rahe woh, hamare kai saathi bhi wahan maujood the.
7:53toh hamare haan kitabein un ko di gayeen aur baatein huin. Ab aaj hi in ka message aaya, aaj hi. Bahut ajeeb o ghareeb message, aap bataiye kya message hai? Well, he gave a call in the morning and he said that I have been going through Maulana's literature and I must say that it's very rich and very comprehensive and daily I am getting, you know, something out of the literature. In fact, he finished one book yesterday itself and he was saying that I will continue my study and when I reach back home because he is on this travel I am going to write a letter to Maulana sahib and one additional thing he said, what he said that I want to congratulate Maulana sahib because there are a lot of youngsters involved in this mission. So he was very happy and very moved by Maulana sahib's literature.
8:45dekhiye, asal baat kya hai? Aap bheed ko kyun dekhte hain? Yaani sab ko le kar kyun sochte hain? Aap individual ko le kar sochiye, individual. Isi ko mein seeker keh raha hoon. Agar aap bheed ko le kar sochenge toh hamesha aap ko mayusi milegi, frustration. Lekin individual toh hamesha maujood hote hain. Un se kabhi duniya khaali nahi hoti hai. Toh aap ka target individual hona chahiye na ke bheed. tab aap aisi baat nahi farmayenge.
