His answer, in his own words
48:19
Maulana, ab sawal lete hain. yeh sawal bheja hai azhar mubarak sahib ne, unhon ne location nahi likha hai. un ka sawal yeh hai: "Maulana Sahib, what is the principle of seeking help from the God? Please advise all of us." dekhen, is mamle mein sab se bara jo masla hai woh yeh hai ke insaan khuda se mangta hai apne mindset ke mutabiq, kyunke khuda deta hai apne mindset ke mutabiq. is wajah se kabhi aisa hota hai ke insaan mayoos ho jata hai, halanke woh mayoosi ki zaroorat nahi hoti. khuda ke, ki jo, khuda ka jo plan hai, use aap ko discover karna parega ke khuda ki madad ayegi apne naqshe ke mutabiq, aap ke naqshe ke mutabiq nahi.

hamesha yeh hota hai ke insaan mangta hai to chahta hai ke mere naqshe ke mutabiq mile mujhe, magar jab aisa nahi hoga, milega khuda ke naqshe ke mutabiq, kyunke jo greater good hai aap ke liye, us ko sirf khuda janta hai. greater good, hum to sirf phanse rehte hain, yaani immediate cheezon mein. immediate, hum future ko nahi jaan paate, to jo future ke aitbar se jo greater good hai hum ke liye, us ka faisla karta hai khuda. agar hum mangne mein sachhe hon to. Maulana, agla sawal kolkata se aftab alam sahib ne bheja hai. unhon ne likha hai: "Man wants to experience his creator in the physical world, but as per Quran, God wants to keep Himself unseen and He wants man to discover Him.
