A prophecy of Hazrat Gausul Azam Maizbhandari (K.):

“When two people argue, give up 2% and accept 48% of the whole, even if you are 50% at benefit. Let peace reign supreme. Let the conflict go.”

– Rahbar-e-Alam Hazratulhajj Shah Sufi Syed Muhammad Hasan Maizbhandari (M.Z.A).

The verses attributed to Hazrat Gausul Azam Maizbhandari (K.) support an extensive plan for solving disputes by emphasizing the need of harmony and compromise in the face of conflict. These teachings are consistent with the central Sufi theme on cultivating peace and harmony both inside oneself and in interpersonal interactions. The suggestion to offer up up some of one’s position in order to reach a resolution represents the Sufi approach to mutual respect and tolerance.

The acceptance of change and the idea of balance are fundamental to Taoism. The concept of freely sacrificing a portion of one’s status in order to attain harmony is in line with the Taoist notion of submitting and pursuing balance in the face of competing circumstances.

Buddhism emphasizes the practice of non-attachment and the eradication of suffering by giving up connection to one’s ego or sense of refine their freedom. The advice to accept contentment and compromise fits in with the Buddhist goal of promoting harmony and reducing conflict by letting go of fixed ties.

Similar to this, Vedism places a strong focus on balance and tranquility in relationships and society. The advice to compromise on some aspects of one’s position in order to achieve a resolution is consistent with the Vedic ideals of restoring balance as well as harmony in human interactions.

When taken as a whole, these teachings communicate spiritual concepts that cut across boundaries of ideology or religion. They emphasize the value of humility, harmony, and compromise in settling disputes and promoting peace in the personal and social contexts within a variety of cultural and religious backgrounds.
