The Deepest Truths of Life


To explain the deepest truths of life in the form of homely parables requires extraordinary genius. Shakespeare, Maulana Rum (Jalaluddin) and Jesus Christ are probably the only illustrations of this rare type of genius.
~ Allama Iqbal (from Stray Reflections)

      Dear Ranu,

      Thank you for your visit and comments.

      I do so love Allama Iqbal, his writings, his teachings, his presence, and those who carry forward his essence such as our dear friend, Mr. Khurram Ali Shafique.

      All good wishes,

      robert
