Be aware of your own worth, use all of your power to achieve it. Create an ocean from a dewdrop. Do not beg for light from the moon, obtain it from the spark within you.

More quotes by Muhammad Iqbal

Image
I would like to see the Punjab, North-West Frontier Province, Sind and Baluchistan amalgamated into a single State. Self-government within the British Empire, or without the British Empire, the formation of a consolidated North-West Indian Muslim State appears to me to be the final destiny of the Muslims, at least of North-West India.

It is absolutely certain that God does exist.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
Words, without power, is mere philosophy.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
Vision without power does bring moral elevation but cannot give a lasting culture.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
The spirit of philosophy is one of free inquiry. It suspects all authority. Its function is to trace the uncritical assumptions of human thought to their hiding places, and in this pursuit it may finally end in denial or a frank admission of the incapacity of pure reason to reach the ultimate reality.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
It is the lot of man to share in the deeper aspirations of the universe around him and to share his own destiny as well as that of the universe, now by adjusting himself to its forces, now by putting the whole of his energy to his own ends and purposes.

Muhammad Iqbal
Image
The religion of that prophet [Karl Marx] who knew not the truth, is founded upon equality of the belly.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
The Westerners have lost the vision of heaven, they go hunting for the pure spirit in the belly. The pure soul takes not color and scent from the body, and Communism has nothing to do save with the body.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
The ultimate aim of the ego is not to see something, but to be something.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
If faith is lost, there is no security and there is no life for him who does not adhere to religion.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
We have strayed away from God, and He is in quest of us Like us, He is humble and is a prisoner of desire: He is hidden in every atom, and yet is a stranger to us: He is revealed in the moonlight, and in the embrace of houses.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
But only a brief moment is granted to the brave one breath or two, whose wage is the long nights of the grave.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
The man of Love follows the path of God-and shows affection to both the believer and the nonbe-liever.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
A wrong concept misleads the understanding a wrong deed degrades the whole man, and may eventually demolish the structure of the human ego.
Muhammad Iqbal
Image
Divine life is in touch with the whole universe on the analogy of the soul's contact with the body.
