maulana, agla sawal delhi se hai miss naghma siddiqui ka. unhone aapse poocha hai ke "how can we avoid emotional thinking and develop objective thinking?" bhai, ab result ko dekhna parega. emotional approach ya emotional thinking ka result hamesha ulta hota hai. kabhi bhi aisa nahi ho sakta ke aadmi, yaani jazbat mein aa kar koi karwai kare aur is ka acha result nikle. aisa kabhi hua nahi, na ho sakta hai. to aadmi apni aql ko istemal kare ke jab jazbati karwai ka result ulta niklta hai to hum kyun jazbati banein?

to aap soch se hi apne jazbat ko control kar sakte hain. soch se aur soch ko, aur yaani soch hona chahiye result ko le kar ke. result ko le kar sochna chahiye. yeh nahi ke bas, yaani koi waqia suna aur bhadak kar ke lage karwai karne. in every situation you have to see the result. jab bhi aadmi result ko le kar sochega to pacify ho jayega.
