this hope never materialized and life went on. My health and wealth, everything was used up for material causes. When my father died, this came as a great shock to me. Now, I could not gather myself to continue my old way of life. This time around, when I came to Maulana, I was mentally prepared to understand his words. I started reading his books sincerely. I remember reading this: If you place a seed on a plate made of gold, it will dry and wither away, when the same seed is placed in soil, it sacrifices its existence and it turns into a plant, then a tree which provides flowers and fruits. These words shook me to the core. I realized as if these words are directly addressing me. A seed after losing its existence is converted into a new life. In the same way, God has trained me and given me new life. I felt I have been divinely trained. I felt that I have left the darkness behind and entered the light. My restless soul was now at peace. After getting free from the clutches of the material world, I found peace. When I forsook the world, I found God. After wandering for most of my life, I discovered God. For a person, there can be no discovery greater than this. The discovery of God is my greatest discovery. o CPS Ladies Group New Delhi Official Number +91 9910288870
