In response to a question Hazrat said, "when reading a book don't worry too much about whether you are memorising what you are reading, or whether you would remember in the future what you have just read. Just try to make sure that you have thoroughly understood what you have read. If you read topic a topic two or three times making sure that you have understood it well, you will InshaAllah memorise it."

Then Hazrat smiled and said, "That is our problem. We either keep worrying about the past, or the future. We do not worry enough about the present. If we correct our present then InshaAllah both our past and future will become bright."
