"Art: If the object of poetry is, to make men, then poetry is the heir of prophecy." ― Muhammad Iqbal Topic(s): Religion More From Muhammad Iqbal "But inner experience is only one source of human knowledge." "The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience for capturing Reality must always remain individual and incommunicable." "The immediacy of mystic experience simply means that we know God just as we know other objects. God is not a mathematical entity or a system of concepts mutually related to one another and having no reference to experience." More In Religion "It’s very difficult to talk about religion in Iran because religion has gotten so mixed up with politics."― Asghar Farhadi "I certainly wasn’t happy. Happiness has to do with reason, and only reason earns it. What I was given was the thing you can’t earn, and can’t keep, and often don’t even recognize at the time; I mean joy."― Ursula K. Le Guin "Religion and philosophy, philosophy and religion – they’re two words which are both… different. In spelling."― Eddie Izzard
