Generally, all people live with this assumption. But our thinking
is that ‘if man acts, he can transform into God from man’. These
two views don’t match with each other. The personality of Vakil

the editor. As it is, you are bound to face some difficulties when
you enter a new field. Just take experience for a few days. If
