Re: In the Heart of Hearts...
Ishq is the main ingredient of Life and is also its driving force – the prime mover behind all universal occurences. This Iqbalic Love would make man into a creator of and victor over his own ideals, setting him into never-ending motion. Outreaching from one conquest to another, he is never subject to surcease. **History is fraught with examples of Ishq making a difference between the right and the wrong. This Ishq, is distinct from Ilm or Aql. There are many junctures in one’s Life, when one reaches a divergence of passages. Reason alone cannot be the sole guide in such cases. Reason will always give one a sense of fear and deprivation; it safeguards interests in life, but Ishq creates life, procreates life and makes it grow beyond bounds and shine beyond glitters. A life of pure reason would drear death, a life of Ishq will welcome it. **
