He strongly emphasized that we should become and be Insaan first (Human-being with Feelings and Values i.e. humanity and concern to other persons) and anything else thereafter.

"The more I learn, more I realize, how much I don't know". Albert Einstein.

Let us see in ourselves - we would find that our Heart is a Temple and GOD is there - we are confident that we know it. If so, why go else where to find Him.

He concluded his talk saying - if we recognize this reality of God's presence in our Heart, we all shall be Happy and Good Human-beings - leading this society, country and the world - as worth-living and worth-loving.
