study Hadhrat Ahmadas 123 One is certain that if he had ever had an opportunity to meet Hadhrat Ahmadas, Freud would have seen the idiocy of any of his theories which proposed to deny the concept of Divine revelation being vouchsafed unto mankind through the medium of dreams. But, if he had ever had an opportunity to study the author of Two in One, he may have been further convinced of his belief that at least his subject. Abdul Hafeez did not qualitatively differ from animals. . However, to return to Freud as an all time authority on human psychology, while one does not deny his great contribution to this field of learning, the author of Two in One is probably not aware that some of his theories are so ridiculous, as for instance those on the Odeipus/Electra complex, that only abnormal people like Abdul Hafeez would believe them. In fact, Freud's theories were not only criticised by his own daughter 124 but even he, himself, constantly revised and modified much of these until his death 125 and in recent times, according to experts in the field, 'literally thousands of empirical studies of Freud's theories have been conducted in which many aspects of these have been rejected and reshaped. 126 Consequently, the western world has made great strides in its understanding in the field of psychopsychiatry while people like Abdul Hafeez still subscribe to outdated ancient views. One is, therefore, not surprised that while the western world has today advanced in every sphere of life and has even soared the sky to reach other galaxies and even land human beings on some, people in Abdul Hafeez's native Sindh still ride horse driven tanga and yaka or donkey driven gadha gadee. This mode of a relatively primitive life is possibly explained by Abdul Hafeez's insistence to rely upon ancient knowledge and consequently his refusal to grow with the world and look forward. . The other authorities which the author of Two in One has cited to establish his allegations against Hadhrat Ahmadas are proven unreliable from the evidence contained within his quoted 123.
