Is Solitude where you meet yourself?

Asslam o Alaikum,  My honourable Sir,  As scholars advise, " Solitude is where you meet yourself"  But whenever I sit to reflect on my own presence, rather than meeting myself, I feel I lose myself. Everything around me including myself becomes question mark and 'I' itself feels strange. I feel void.  Sir, what's that...? Am I missing something in what scholars meant or is this beyond my understanding?  I believe your understanding more than my confusion 😊 Reply to the question: Wa Alaikum Assalam What you’re describing actually makes a lot of mixed sense—and it’s more common (and more meaningful) than it feels in the moment.

What you’re experiencing—the feeling of: losing yourself, everyth...

Who is a true poet?

Good Morning! My respected Sir,  I pray this finds you under the shade of Allah's mercy and protection. As my mentor in spirit ❤️, I have been reflecting on the nature of expression lately, and a question arose that I felt you could help me navigate:  Who is a true poet? And what is the essence of poetry? ( in your context). I often find that when we read verses without personal experience or reflection, they feel like a hollow echo of imagination. Yet, when li?fe aligns with those words, they begin to murmur depths that lead to unfathomable philosophy. They carry emotions so delicate that they can make the reader weep or smile at once. Does it depend upon the reader on how he perceives, or the writer on how he delivers? I would be deeply honoured to listen to your thoughts on this when time permits 😊.

How hard work and preseverance becomes a key to success?

Image
  Success and happiness are two different entities that we expect in our life. We always expect to achieve success and happiness from our efforts. But it does not always come up to that level.  Sometimes, we have to face different results and sometimes we are quite disappointed. We don't think that these failures are the parts of that series that leads to success.  Happiness is a very vague outcome. For instance, when a culprit or any thief is successful in his mission, he is happy, but his happiness casts others' gloom. He gets forcefully at the cast of others' rights. He makes a lot of struggles, he plans, he follows some strategies, however, his tasks are quite different from those who work for the welfare of humanity and face a lot of failures and disappointments. They keep on doing their struggles and never submit or yield. They are the real asset of a nation, and the nation is proud of having such personalities among them. They are called  Khamoosh Mujahid....
