در فن تعمیر مردان آزاد

یک زمان با رفتگان صحبت گزینصنعت آزاد مردان ہم ببین

A slave, a follower shy of new ideas, is satisfied with status quo and he ceases to be a creative being. On the other hand, a freeman is never satisfied with the world he inherits. He wants change; constantly endeavours for improvement. He is an embodiment of creativity. In the last part of Bandgi Namah Allamah showed a glimpse of free man to draw contrast between him and slave.
