The Secrets of the Self

""The Secrets of the Self"" is a philosophical poem written by Muhammad Iqbal, a renowned philosopher and poet from South Asia. The book is a reflection on the nature of the self and its relationship with the divine. The poem is divided into two parts, each containing several sections. In the first part, Iqbal explores the nature of the self, its limitations, and its potential for growth and transformation. He argues that the self is not a fixed entity but rather a dynamic and evolving process that is shaped by both internal and external factors.In the second part of the poem, Iqbal delves into the relationship between the self and the divine. He argues that the self is not separate from the divine but rather a manifestation of it. He explores the idea of the self as a mirror reflecting the divine and the importance of spiritual practice in achieving a deeper understanding of this relationship.Throughout the poem, Iqbal draws on a variety of philosophical and mystical traditions, including Sufism, Vedanta, and Western philosophy, to explore the nature of the self and its relationship with the divine. The language of the poem is rich and evocative, with vivid imagery and powerful metaphors that bring the ideas to life. Overall, ""The Secrets of the Self"" is a profound and thought-provoking work that offers insights into the nature of the self, the divine, and the relationship between the two.This is a new release of the original 1944 edition.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
