Hazrat Maulana Muhammad Ilyas Sahib (Rahmatullah Alaih) used to say that any word/speech that does not leave an impression on the heart is the luxury of the ears (sensory indulgence). Nowadays, there is no interest in reading the sayings (Malfoozat) of the elders, rather there is a passion for listening to and reading fictional stories and tales; this is the luxury of the ears.
