#NowPlaying Ain't Nobody (Loves Me Better) by Felix Jaehn
Fear begins and ends with the desire to be secure; inward and outward security, with the desire to be certain, to have permanency. The continuity of permanence is sought in every direction, in virtue, in relationship, in action, in experience, in knowledge, in outward and inward things. To find security and be secure is the everlasting cry. It is this insistent demand that breeds fear.
Krishnamurti
Khudi Ka Sirr-e-Nihan La Ilaha Illallah Khudi Hai Taeg, Fasan La Ilaha Illallah
The secret of the self is hid, In words "No god but He alone”. The self is just a dull-edged sword, "No god but He," the grinding stone.
Ye Dour Apne Baraheem Ki Talash Mein Hai Sanam Kudah Hai Jahan, La Ilaha Illallah
An Abraham by the age is sought to break the idols of this Hall: The avowal of God's Oneness can make all these idols headlong fall.
Kiya Hai Tu Ne Mataa-e-Ghuroor Ka Soda Faraib Sood-o-Zayan, La Ilaha Illallah
A bargain you have struck for goods of life, a step, that smacks conceit, All save the call "No god but He," is merely fraught with fraud and deceit.
Ye Maal-o-Doulat-e-Dunya, Ye Rishta-o-Pewand Butan-e-Weham-o-Guman, La Ilaha Illallah
The worldly wealth and riches too, ties of blood and friends a dream The idols wrought by doubts untrue, all save God's Oneness empty seem.
Khird Huwi Hai Zaman-o-Makan Ki Zunnari Na Hai Zaman Na Makan, La Ilaha Illallah
The mind has worn the holy thread of Time and Space like pagans all Though Time and Space both illusive "No god but He" is true withal.
Ye Naghma Fasl-e-Gul-o-Lala Ka Nahin Paband Bahar Ho Ke Khazan, La Ilaha Illallah
These melodious songs are not confined to time when rose and tulip bloom Whatever the season of year be "No god but He" must ring till doom.
Agarche But Hain Jamat Ki Astinon Mein Mujhe Hai Hukm-e-Azan, La Ilaha Illallah
Many idols are still concealed in their sleeves by the Faithful Fold, I am ordained by Almighty Allah to raise the call and be much bold.
-Iqbal
Arjuna, immerse your mind in me and I will uplift you from the ocean of recurring death . If you cannot do that, then practise yoga and work on your mind. If you cannot do that, then do your work as if it is my work. If you cannot do that, then make yourself my instrument and do as I say. If you cannot do that, then simply do your job and leave the results to me.
Bhagavad Gita: Chapter 12, verses 6 to 11 (paraphrased)
All Meditation is pretence without Love. All knowledge is shallow without Love. Infinite is the wealth of Love. Through Love one meets the Supreme Creator. All Dhyan [meditation] is pretence without Love. All knowledge is shallow without Love. All scriptures are sham without Love. Kaal [the lord of time/lord of death] and Karma are overcome by Love. Mana [mind] and Maya [illusion] are subdued by Love. Surat [the soul] ascends to higher regions by Love. Love dispels all evils. One is detached from world by Love. Refulgence within, one perceives by Love. Every heart overflows with Love. Most exalted is the glory of Love. All endeavours are in vain without Love. All activities are void without Love. One is redeemed by Love and Love alone.
