The Question


For centuries Eastern heart and intellect have been 
absorbed in the question – Does God exist? I propose to 
raise a new question – new, that is to say, for the East – 
Does man exist? 

~ Allama Iqbal (Stray Reflections, 1925 Section)

  2. This is a wonderful question by Iqbal, and this need a very serious investigation, as serious as thinkers, philosophers and everyone has taken the other question does God exist. What we see of man and in man can be termed as existence?
