When success is demanded, the tongue is silenced; marketing oneself is not the key. The ideas will market themselves. It takes hard work, faith, courage and God’s graceful hand in making history – when men act as the bridge between divine will and what manifests in the world.
My conviction is that, to be a sound person in reasoning, all that which is needed to that end is already God-given to the human who is endeavoring toward achievement.
No personage shall taste the nectar of success except by the accumulation of free-will and fate into a single wholistic system of achievement.
This system comes with endeavor and grit. This system comes with patience and faith. This system comes with courage and the positive human will toward betterment.
Be The bird of Ibrahim A.S. that tried to extinguish Nemrod’s fire: this is the motto of the writing artist. He might feel alone in it, but the symbol is universal. He is thus not alone.
The early people achieved so much. They wrote for life. Today if you have 20 books published, you’re prolific. Well, Ibn Arabi R.A. wrote 200 books and more. My point of preaching this system of endeavor and giving the example of Ibn Arabi R.A. is that we must aspire toward greatness ourselves, knowing we are always going to fall short of the standards our forefathers set for us.
This is humility to know it. If we become arrogant and say that we are equal to our forefathers – and yes, saying that is arrogance – then history will do justice to the arrogant ones by either forgetting them or remembering them as an evil sign.
Thus I write with humility.
