Maulana, agla sawal Bangalore se hai, Vikram Sharma ka. unhone aapse poocha hai: "Maulana sahib, i am by nature a very sensitive person and i often get upset in small small travel things. i want guidance from you as to how i can manage my sensitivity." dekhein, koi birth se koi sensitive nahi hota, conditionings hota hai. yaad rakhiye, Allah taala ne kisi ko bhi by birth yani galat nahi paida kar diya hai. by birth har aadmi sahi paida

hota hai, kal al fitr. lekin conditioning jo hai, yani aap jis ghar mein paida huin, jis mahaul mein rahin, us ne aap ko sensitive bana diya. aur aaj kal to sab se bara jo masla hai, maa baap ki pampering. maa baap ki pampering se log sensitive ho jate hain. to by birth kuch bhi nahi hota. apni conditioning ko todiye, is ko deconditioning kijiye, phir aap bilkul ek normal insaan ban jayenge. main is ko nahi manta ke koi by birth koi aisa hota hai, balkeh ghar ke halaat, maa baap ki pampering, in cheezon se log aise ban jate hain.

yeh sab is ko isi ko kaha jata hai conditioning. to aap ko apni conditioning ko todna hai, apne aap ko decondition karna hai. is ke baad sab kuch theek ho jayega, sab kuch normal ho jayega. maulana, agla sawal ahmad abad se aya hai, fawad sahib
