His answer, in his own words
45:25
Maulana, yeh sawal Bhopal se kiya hai Haider sahab ne, aur unhon ne likha hai ke: "Maulana sahib, how can a person begin his or her spiritual journey? What should be the starting point? Please advise." bhai, mera jo experience hai, woh yahi hai ke sab se zaroori cheez hai apne ko destruction se bachana. jab spirituality ki taraf safar shuru nahin ho sakta jab tak aap apne aap ko destruction se na bachaein.

har aadmi kisi na kisi destruction mein phansa hua hai, har aadmi. aur destruction ka maamla yeh hai ke kuch dinon ke baad destruction jo hota hai, woh aap ka addiction ban jata hai. addiction. aap soch nahin paate ke koi destruction hai. to jab tak addiction na bana ho, tab tak to apne ko is se bachana aasan hai. dekhiye, ek hai habit, ek hai addiction.

haibat, addiction. to jab haibat ke darjay mein ho, tab us ko samajhna aasan hai. lekin haibat aagay barh kar ban jati hai addiction, to aap us ko chhor nahin paate. to beharhaal, jis ko spirituality chahiye, to yeh sab us ko karna parega. us ko instra, us ko instrastructure karna parega. balkay mein yeh kaha karta hoon ke us ko self-hambry karna paregi. tab ja kar ke destruction se bachega. tab ja kar ke woh apnay habits ko, apnay addiction ko discover kar payega. tab woh apni zindagi ki re-planning karega.
