Whenever they are in trouble, they look for someone to help them." --- Who said this and to whom? Who are they referred to here? What does the speaker want to mean here?

Ans. Jainulabdeen said this to his son,  Dr. APJ Abdul kalam.

 *They are human beings who have fallen in the troubles of life. Or, Here 'they' refer to the people who get into trouble in life.

*Kalam's father could explain complex spiritual matters in very simple Tamil. Once he said to Kalam adversity always presents opportunities for introspection. Then Kalam asked why his father did not convey it to people who come to him for help and advice. While answering, Kalam's father said that no man can endure sufferings. Whenever people who are in trouble find themselves alone. They feel confused and depressed. Then they look for someone who can help them.  They seek helpers who can show them the way to come out of the difficult situation. That is why people come to him.
