Question: I
find myself constantly engaged in self-talk. At times, I address a hypothetical
listener, and at other times, I converse with myself. During these episodes, I
become unaware of my surroundings. Later, upon reflecting on my behavior, I
experience feelings of anger and frustration, often reprimanding myself for
engaging in such actions. I repeatedly try to convince myself that I should
refrain from talking to myself, labeling it as a form of irrational behavior.
While I manage to calm myself temporarily through these rationalizations, the
cycle of self-dialogue inevitably resumes.
Answer: In
the early morning, position yourself in front of a mirror in which you can
clearly observe your reflection, at least up to your chest. Begin speaking
directly to your reflection, engaging in conversation on any topic, real or
imagined, for approximately fifteen minutes. After this period, proceed with
your regular daily activities. Within a span of fifteen days, you will
experience a reduction in the tendency to engage in self-talk. This approach is
grounded in principles from parapsychology, utilizing self-affirmation
techniques to address cognitive patterns.
Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi
Nearly three decades ago, the esteemed spiritual scholar and blessed guide, Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi (R.A), inaugurated a mission of public service with the objective of liberating humanity from afflictions, psychological distress, and physical ailments. For ten years, he remained in contemplative retreat, silently advancing this sacred commitment to the service of creation (khidmat-e-khalq). As the hearts of the people began turning toward him, he employed the medium of mass communication. In 1969, this initiative was formally introduced to the public through newspapers and spiritual journals. According to conservative estimates, through written correspondence and face-to-face interaction—particularly via national publications and the Roohani Digest—Hazrat Azeemi has extended spiritual guidance and healing to over 1.4 million men and women, addressing intricate personal crises and intractable medical conditions. Today, it is not uncommon that wherever a few individuals gather, and a seemingly insoluble dilemma or incurable illness is mentioned, someone inevitably suggests: “Establish contact with Azeemi Sahib—the matter will be resolved.”
Through the grace of Allah the Almighty, the spiritual affinity with the Prophet (P.B.U.H), and the continued beneficence of the blessed guide, four volumes of Roohani Daak (Spiritual Correspondence) have now been compiled. The first volume is hereby presented to you for contemplation and benefit.
