Re: End of the past?
This is typical liberal facist’s article. You cannot quote Iqbal by just looking at his stances of earlier stages. Once Iqbal realized what is wrong with sufis and turkish he stopped favoring them. He gone through those phases intellectually and reached here as follows. Once he called Rumi as peer e Rumi but when he realized he said…
Na Diya Nishan-e-Manzil Mujhe Ae Hakeem Tu Ne
Mujhe Kya Gila Ho Tujh Se, Tu Na Reh Nasheen Na Rahi
You have not led my way, O man of wisdom!
But why, complain? You know not the way.
Ye Maamle Hain Nazuk, Jo Teri Raza Ho Tu Kar
Ke Mujhe To Khush Na Aya Ye Tareeq-e-Khanqahi
Your monastic cult is a strait and narrow path,
Which I like not, but your freedom I respect.
