Quote by Muhammad Iqbal

The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience for capturing Reality must always remain individual and incommunicable.

The standpoint of the man who relies on religious experience

Summary

This quote suggests that the perspective of a person who relies on religious experiences to understand truth or reality can never be effectively conveyed or shared with others. It implies that these experiences are highly personal and subjective, making it challenging for individuals to articulate or convey the depth and meaning of their spiritual encounters to others. Ultimately, this highlights the inherent limitations of language in capturing the full essence of religious experiences and emphasizes their individual nature.

I took several long walks in the Wright and adjacent Taylor Valleys. I did not feel insignificant on these journeys, dwarfed or shrugged off by the land, but superfluous. It is a difficult landscape to enter, and to develop a rapport with. It is not inimical or hostile, but indifferent, utterly remote, even as you stand in it. The light itself is aloof.

In it he proves that all things are true and states how the truths of all contradictions may be reconciled physically, such as for example that white is black and black is white; that one can be and not be at the same time; that there can be hills without valleys; that nothingness is something and that everything, which is, is not. But take note that he proves all these unheard-of paradoxes without any fallacious or sophistical reasoning.
