Maulana, Delhi se Mr Bhaskar Rao ne sawal kiya hai. unhone likha hai: "Please advise me how I can lead a life peacefully." Dekhiye, peaceful life ka raaz har ek ke liye ek hi hai, har ek ke liye. woh kya hai? Unpleasant situation ko ignore karna, avoid karna. kyun ke dekhiye, chahe koi bhi ho, ghareeb ho, ameer ho, parha likha ho, jahil ho, India ka aadmi ho, America ka aadmi ho, yeh bilkul law of nature hai ke tarah tarah ke is ko unpleasant situation pesh ayegi. woh hoga hi hogi, lazman. Woh Obama ke saath bhi hota hai, woh Dr. Marmon Shah Singh ke saath bhi hota hai, hamare aap ke saath bhi hoga.

to jo aadmi peace chahta ho, to is ko yahi price deni padegi ke khilaaf peace halaat mein peaceful rehna. Khilaaf peace halaat mein peaceful rehne ka raaz daryaft karna bas yahi hai. peaceful zindagi hasil karne ka raaz.
