How ignorant are we of the intellectual treasures of our tradition, how oblivious are we of the message they contain. Have we ever realized that our blind pursuit of English language and complete ignorance of Urdu has actually disconnected us with the intellectual treasures, glimpse of which is presented by this gentleman.
May Allah give due reward for the effort of this gentleman as he has done a marvelous job indeed by making an attempt to reconnect us with our traditional wisdom. This is just a glimpse as I already mentioned, there is loads and loads available very much in our reach.
Imagine!, I purchased Allama Iqbal's Zarb-e-Kaleem just for Rs. 70 yesterday. World of wisdom available for peanuts, but unfortunately due to my weak Urdu, I wasn't able to grasp not even a fraction of it. I though realized that its never too late and I still can improve, and most importantly I can encourage my next generation for the same as well.
We are indeed the worst nation on this planet, not because of our economic or political instability, but because of our shear laziness, that we cannot even use the treasures, as highlighted above, available at our disposal, and also because of our intellectual and spiritual feebleness which keeps us at a distance from such material, which if we use, will only help us to stand tall and proud in from of the Creator and the rest of the world.
Little surprise the humiliation we receive due to our slumber in turn.
