=) My philosophy.... 'NOTHING' IS "SOMETHING" BUT "SOMETHING" IS NOT 'NOTHING'. I love Philosophers and their books as well, i always get inspirations from Philosophers. I just wanna be the Philosopher like ALLAMA IQBAL (R.A.) and PLATO. ALLAMA IQBAL and PLATO are my role models. MATHNAVI MAULANA RUMI VI: 255-260. Wealth has no permanence: it comes in the morning, and at night it is scattered to the winds. Physical beauty too has no importance, for a rosy face is made pale by the scratch of a single thorn. Noble birth also is of small account, for many become fools of money and horses. Many a nobleman's son has disgraced his father by his wicked deeds. Don't court a person full of talent either, even if he seems exquisite in that respect: take warning from the example of Iblis1 . Iblis had knowledge, but since his love was not pure, he saw in Adam nothing but a figure of clay.At the hour of the morning-drink a beloved said to her lover by way of trial, "O such- and-such son of such- and-such, I wonder, do you love me or yourself more? Tell the truth, O man of sorrows." He replied, "I have become so naughted in thee that I am full of thee from head to foot. Of my existence there is nothing (left) in me but the name: in my being there is naught but thee, O thou whose wishes are gratified. By that means I have become thus naughted, like vinegar, in thee (who are) an ocean of honey." As the stone that is entirely turned into pure ruby: it is filled with the qualities of the sun. That stony nature does not remain in it: back and front, it is filled with sunniness. Afterwards, if it love itself, that (self-love) is love of the sun,O youth; And if it love the sun with (all) its soul, ‘tis undoubtedly love of itself. Whether the pure ruby loves itself or whether it loves the sun, There is really no difference in these two loves: both sides (aspects) are naught but the radiance of the sunrise. Until it (the stone) has become a ruby, it is an enemy to itself, because it is not a single "I": two "I’s" are there; For the stone is dark and blind to the day (- light): the dark is essentially opposed to light. (If) it love itself, it is an infidel, because it offers intense resistance to the supreme Sun. Therefore ‘tis not fitting that the stone should say "I," (for) it is wholly darkness and in (the state of) death. A Pharaoh said, "I am God" and was laid low; a Mansur (Hallaj) said, "I am God" and was saved. The former "I" is followed by God’s curse and the latter "I"
