maulana, agla sawal kya hai miss najma siddiqui ne dilli se. unhon ne likha hai: "what is the criteria to judge that we have arrogance in us؟" is ke baray mein batayein. kya padhiye phir? "what is the criteria to judge that we have arrogance in us؟" dekhiye, main jo samjha hoon nafsiati aitbar se, woh yeh hai ke jab aap ko tanqeed buri na lage aur tareef par khush na hon aap, tab samjhiye ke aap ke andar arrogance nahi hai. phir suniye. jab aap ko criticism buri na lage aur praise aap ko khush na kare, tab samjhiye ke aap ke andar arrogance nahi hai. aur jab tak aisa ho ke aap koi criticize kare to aap offended ho jayein. aur praise kare to aap khush hon. to is ka matlab yeh hai ke aap ke andar fakhr hai, pride hai, arrogance hai.
