A journey into the study of Allama Iqbal, his writings, and the great value he and his philosophy have for humanity. This journey may take many sideroads, but all with signposts inspired by Iqbal.

He is one
He in one
Above all ritual
Above all dogma
Above all custom
And only where
These paths cease
Does true faith begin.
~ Ghalib
(from Ghalib in Translation, O.P. Kejariwal)
Wow, I'm so glad for the re-introduction to such a poet/mystic and I do so agree.
Reminds me of "RiverBend Blog" by an Iraqi young lady with quote from Rumi: something about meeting one another in the field beyond right and wrong. (or rather our own interpretations of those categories.
Mirza Ghalib Was my favourite poet in college.I love these lines,thanks,Robert.
