Self

MITA DO APNI HASTI KO AGAR KOI MARTABA CHAHO,
KI DANA KHAK ME MILKAR GUL-E-GULZAR HOTA HAI

(Destroy your own self if you wish to achieve a position
because only when a seed meets the dirt it blossoms as a flower)

The study of self , or the question of self is always a matter of intense debate among the thinkers.

Allama Iqbal says that the self becomes more lasting when it is feeded with love and in return it reciprocates.


AZ MUHABBAT MEE SHAWAD PAAINDATAR
ZINDATAR SOZINDATAR TABINDATAR
 

(By Love it is made more lasting,
More living, more burning, more glowing.)
