maulana, dilli se agla sawal kya hai doctor farhat naseereen ne, aur unhon ne likha hai ke "Kindly elaborate on the merits of cutting down TV time and increasing the resting time." yeh jo time hai, bhai, resting time ko aap study kijiye. mein jab bhi TV dekhta hoon, mujhe to lagta hai ke mein apna time zaya kar raha
57:13
hoon, kyunke TV mein siwa BBC London ke. sahib, itna distraction hota hai ke mein to hairaan hoon ke kaun log dekhte hain ke log TV. sirf khurafaat maloom hoti hain. TV, woh to TV dekhna hi bilkul.
57:35
mein zindagi bhar akhbar parhta raha news ke liye. kabhi mein TV se news nahi liya. mein ne to mein samajhta hoon ke ab, ab, ab akhbar ke baad koi cheez agar hai to mere paas to radio hai.
57:57
TV ko to mein samajhta hoon ke koi entertainment ke liye dekha hai to dekha hai, baqi iska koi taameeri faida to mujhe samajh mein nahi aata. TV ka to haan, kuch, kuch aate hain. woh aisi cheez hai jise jo jighrafiyai society hai, us ke kuch document, woh, woh to mufeed hote hain.
58:19
woh mein, mein dekhta hoon. isko jighrafiyai society ke document, baqi aam taur par jo TV aata hai, woh har waqt distrakshan, har waqt distrakshan, har waqt is mein advertisement. mujhe to bilkul wehshat hoti hai is se.

to behr-haal, main yeh kahunga ke har aadmi ko chahiye ke woh art of time management seekhe. masla na TV ka hai, na kisi aur cheez ka. masla hai art of time management ka. aap khud janiye ke aap ne jo time kisi kaam mein lagaya, us se aap ko achievement kya hua.
59:03
in terms of achievement, is ko aap judge kijiye. koi doosra nahi bata sakta aap ko. aap khud, yaani soch kar jaan sakte hain ke jo time maine lagaya TV mein ya kisi aur kaam mein, to is mein maine achieve kiya kiya.
59:25
yeh hai criteria. to chunaanche maine dekha ke main TV dekhta hoon to kuch achieve nahi kar pata, to maine is ko chhod diya. main chhote government, hamare kuch saathi the, mujhe le gaye cinema bhi le gaye.
59:47
us waqt main jawanpur mein tha, to maine dekha ke mujhe koi us waqt koi achieve to hota nahi. kuch yeh waqti tafreeh hai, to maine is ko chhod diya. to meri aadat hai ke har cheez ko main result ke aitbaar se jaanchta hoon.
1:00:09
har cheez ko result ke aitbaar se, yaani paani bhi peeta hoon to yeh soch kar ke is ka result kya hai. yeh meri aadat ban gayi hai, yaani aadat ka lafz main bola hoon, matlab mera tareeqa ban gaya hai. aadat nahi kahiye is ko, mera tareeqa yeh ban gaya hai ke main kisi bhi cheez ko is
1:00:31
ko result ke aitbaar se sochta hoon. misal ke taur par, yahan main aata hoon Sunday ko, is ko bhi, is ko bhi main sochta hoon ke mujhe is mein kya mila, yaani maine is mein kya achieve kiya. to har cheez ko, yaani result ke criteria se naapna yeh mera tareeqa hai, aur isi ko mein
1:00:53
islam ka tareeqa samajhta hoon. kyunke hadees mein aata hai ke "man husn islami mar tarka mala yani", yaani aadmi ko kuch chahiye ke usko aap ko chhod de, jiska koi faida na ho, matlab jiska koi result na ho, to usko chhod do.
