FROM MAULANA’S DESK

These are the only two possible ways of deconditioning. Either one accepts the ‘hammering’ of others or one becomes one’s own worst critic by ‘self-hammering’. The one who likes to hear good things about himself from others and makes excuses to himself for his mistakes will always remain a conditioned person and will never be able to decondition or purify his mind. o Maulana Wahiduddin Khan thecentreforpeace@gmail.com Follow Maulana at http://www.speakingtree.in (The Times of India) Islam enjoins the weaker person to be patient and exhorts the stronger person to tread the path of justice and fair play.
