His answer, in his own words

Physical sense mein aap ko Distract karna yeh matlab is ka nahi hai. Maulana, agla sawal lene se pehle ek Comment parhna chahenge jo abhi aaya hai Raipur se Mr. Idrees ka aur Ms. Shabana ka. Unhon ne likha hai: "Today we do not have any question but would like to say that it was one of the most thought provoking lectures." Agla sawal Maulana Delhi se hai Dr. Owais Siddiqui ka. Unhon ne likha hai: "Molana, what are the practical methods to save ourselves from under-utilization?" Dekhiye under-utilization ka matlab yeh hai ke aap ko Allah Ta'ala ne dunya mein rakha tha jannat wale kaam karne ke liye. Aap kar rahe hain kaun sa kaam? Dunya wale kaam. Jo kisi kaam ke nahi. Mar jayen sab chhoot gaya.

Jo le kar jana hai apne sath us ke liye to kuch kar nahi rahe hain. Jo nahi le ke jana hai us mein apne ko lagaye hue hain. To Distraction ki tamam soortein under-utilization hain. Yaani maine dekha logon ko joke chhod rahe hain, ha ha kar rahe hain, shair padh rahe hain, tafreeh kar rahe hain, qisse kahaniyan suna rahe hain. Aur tarah tarah ke Entertainment yaani main zindagi guzarna, joke mein zindagi guzarna, kahaniyan, qisse mein zindagi guzarna yeh kya hai? Yeh apne ko kam tar istemal hai. Aap ko is se zyada bari kaam ke liye Allah ne paida kiya hai. Matlab Allah ek hai ke aap Allah ki marifat hasil karen, Allah ko Discover karen.

Aur ek hai ke Third Class ka jo Entertainment hota hai us mein phanse rahen. Misal ke taur par main ek misal deta hoon ke main TV nahi dekhta. Kyun? Main is ko kam tar istemal samajhta hoon. Maine dekha kitabon mein ilm kitabon mein hai, TV mein nahi hai. Kitab mein padhta hoon to mujhe Wisdom milta hai. TV mein kya hai? Thodi thodi der ke baad ek Advertise aayega, ek Advertisement aayega. Thodi thodi ke baad ek koi tamasha aayega.

To is mein kya? Yaani woh us waqt ko maine zaya kiya. To aap khud hisab kar ke laga sakte hain ke yeh jo time mere paas tha, us time ko main kya is se achhe kaam mein laga sakta tha? Jo jis kaam mein maine lagaya us ko? To yeh yeh aadmi bahar se nahi bata bata sakta aap ko. Khud aap Evaluate kijiye. Evaluate kijiye aur janiye. Dusra koi Method is ka hai nahi. Is ko kahenge Self Evaluation. Self Evaluation is the only method.
