General Awakening
One necessity is to produce proper awareness in different strata of the Generation and the public be trained intellectually, economically and politically. Remember popularization of education and abundance of educated people does not ensure that the nation will have a awareness too-though people seeking reformation of Muslims must understand clearly that a nation lacking awareness is not very dependable-whatever confidence it might have on its leaders, however alert and active it might be in their following and trust, and whatever glorius sacrifice it makes on their call. Because till its awareness has been awakened completely and it does not have a mature vision and solid thought then at every moment there is a danger that it might become an instrument of some other movement-drowning the years of hard work in moments. The parable of a nation without awakening-which cannot think about its right and wrong is like a feather in the field whom winds from all directions are carrying with them.
