A disciple once asked, "Hazrat! People say that one should think of oneself as a sinner. Should one keep thinking about our past sins or should we just think of ourselves as a sinner overall?" Hazrat smiled and said, "It is wrong to think that one should keep thinking of oneself as a sinner. We should think of ourselves as errant and full of  mistakes but why should we think of ourselves as sinners? Our Sheikh Dr Sahib (Dr Abdul Hai RA) used to say, 'why should a Muslim remain a sinner? Whenever you commit a sin, do Taubah (repentance). If you commit a sin again do Taubah again'. Though we should keep thinking of ourselves as errant and full of mistakes. Tell me, do we perform any Ibadat which is perfect?" The disciple said, "No. We don't perform any Ibadat that is perfect and free of mistakes." Hazrat said, "Then why should the question of thinking ourselves as a sinner even arise? We should keep thinking of ourselves as full of mistakes."

Hazrat then said, "To keep remembering sins one has done Taubah from is not a good thing."
