maulana, agla sawal dilli se hai, shail sahib ka. unhone sawal kiya hai: "what is wisdom and intellect?" ab intellect ka matlab to hota hai zehanat, wisdom ka matlab hota hai hikmat. to wisdom to intellect se nikalti hai, yaani intellect jo hai, woh is is se wisdom haasil hoti hai. aur intellect to salahiyat ka naam hai. zehanat aap ka aap ke andar hai, to aap ke andar woh salahiyat maujood hai. to intellect jo hai, woh salahiyat ko bata rahi hai aur wisdom nateejay ko bata rahi hai.
