When problems strike us, we should not look upon them as negative developments, but challenges, which when handled with courage and ingenuity usher in a new dawn in our lives, says MAULANA WAHIDUDDIN KHAN<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The fact is that our world is full of problems. Philosophers call it the problem of evil. But it is a case of wrong nomenclature. It is to give a negative name to a positive phenomenon. Problems are there, but problems are not evil; they are challenges. The only meaningful explanation of this phenomenon is to take problems as challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n This phenomenon can be explained by keeping in mind the creation plan of the Creator. There is a difference between the human and material world. According to the creation plan, the material world has no freedom of choice. The course of the material world is predetermined while man is free to make his choices. It is this difference that creates problems that can be viewed positively.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The concept of self-development does not exist in the material world. Man, on the other hand, was born with great potential. And this potential can be realised in difficult circumstances.\u00a0It is only in circumstances of pressure that man\u2019s hidden potential can be turned into actuality.\u00a0Terming these difficult circumstances as evil is a result of lack of understanding the\u00a0Law of Nature.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n On planet earth, the gravitational pull exists in the right proportion. This pull is so important that without it civilization could never have come into existence. But this blessing of the Creator remained unknown to man until the physicist Isaac Newton received shock treatment from nature. According to a well-known story, he was hit on the head by an apple when he was sitting under the apple tree in his garden. Through this \u2018hit\u2019 nature was, as if, saying in silent language, \u201cO man why don\u2019t you think. If you think you will come to learn a great reality.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n In this respect, everyone is like Newton. Everyone is born with great treasure in his mind. But, every person needs a shock treatment. This is the course of nature and there is no exception in this regard. Without passing through this course, a person\u2019s mind will not unfold and he will not be able to achieve great success.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n M K Gandhi was born in India in 1860. After completing his education he went to South Africa to practice law. At the time, there was no idea of the freedom struggle. However, an incident in 1893 triggered his mind.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If an \u201capple\u201d hits your head, do not take it in the negative sense, but know that it has hit your head to make your mind a super mind. Take it as a wakeup call \u2014 that a new day is dawning upon you.\u00a0undertake a trip to Pretoria in the Transvaal, a journey which took him to Pietermaritzburg.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n There, Gandhi took his seat in a first-class compartment, since he had purchased a first-class ticket. The railway officials ordered him to remove himself to the van compartment, since non-whites were not permitted in first-class compartments. As Gandhi refused to comply with the order, he was pushed out of the train, and his luggage was tossed out on to the platform in the extremely bitter cold of winter. About this experience Gandhi says that it \u201cchanged the course of my life.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n After this incident Gandhi returned to India and started the freedom movement in 1920. The result was that he emerged as \u2018Mahatma\u2019 Gandhi and became the greatest leader of the freedom movement.<\/span><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If an \u201capple\u201d hits your head, do not take it in the negative sense, but know that it has hit your head to make your mind a super mind. Take it as a wakeup call \u2014 that a new day is dawning upon you.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=”0″ override_padding=”yes” h_padding=”7″ top_padding=”5″ bottom_padding=”5″ back_image=”83663″ parallax=”yes” overlay_color=”color-prif” overlay_alpha=”50″ gutter_size=”3″ column_width_percent=”100″ shift_y=”0″ z_index=”0″][vc_column column_width_percent=”100″ position_vertical=”middle” align_horizontal=”align_center” gutter_size=”2″ overlay_alpha=”50″ shift_x=”0″ shift_y=”0″ shift_y_down=”0″ z_index=”0″ medium_width=”0″ mobile_width=”0″ width=”1\/1″][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_font=”font-150384″ text_size=”h6″ text_weight=”900″ text_space=”fontspace-210350″ text_color=”color-111740″ sub_reduced=”yes” css_animation=”bottom-t-top” animation_delay=”100″ text_align=”text-center” text_uppercase=”” text_serif=””]JOIN THE CONVERSATION[\/vc_custom_heading][vc_custom_heading heading_semantic=”h3″ text_font=”font-112038″ text_size=”fontsize-338686″ text_weight=”400″ text_transform=”uppercase” text_height=”fontheight-161249″ text_color=”color-xsdn” sub_reduced=”yes” css_animation=”bottom-t-top” animation_delay=”100″ text_align=”text-center” text_uppercase=”” text_serif=””]COMMENT BELOW[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" When problems strike us, we should not look upon them as negative developments, but challenges, which when handled with courage and ingenuity usher in a new dawn in our lives.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":83423,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[66],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83422"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=83422"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83422\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":83667,"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/83422\/revisions\/83667"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/83423"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=83422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=83422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/influencesociety.org\/maulana\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=83422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
