"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 "The Ego is partly free. partly determined, and reaches fuller freedom by approaching the Individual who is most free: God." "The scientific observer of Nature is a kind of mystic seeker in the act of prayer." "Yet higher religion, which is only a search for a larger life, is essentially experience and recognized the necessity of experience as its foundation long before science learnt to do so." More In Religion "If all things were made through Him, clearly so must the splendid revelations have been which were made to the fathers and prophets, and became to them the symbols of the sacred mysteries of religion."― Origen "Educate men without religion and you make of them but clever devils."― Arthur Wellesley "The sublimity of wisdom is to do those things living, which are to be desired when dying."― Norman Douglas
