Khudi Ka Sirr-e-Nihan
Khudi Ka Sirr-e-Nihan La Ilaha Illallah Khudi Hai Taeg, Fasan La Ilaha Illallah
The secret of the self is hid, In words "No god but He alone”. The self is just a dull-edged sword, "No god but He," the grinding stone.
Ye Dour Apne Baraheem Ki Talash Mein Hai Sanam Kudah Hai Jahan, La Ilaha Illallah
An Abraham by the age is sought to break the idols of this Hall: The avowal of God's Oneness can make all these idols headlong fall.
Kiya Hai Tu Ne Mataa-e-Ghuroor Ka Soda Faraib Sood-o-Zayan, La Ilaha Illallah
A bargain you have struck for goods of life, a step, that smacks conceit, All save the call "No god but He," is merely fraught with fraud and deceit.

The worldly wealth and riches too, ties of blood and friends a dream The idols wrought by doubts untrue, all save God's Oneness empty seem.
Khird Huwi Hai Zaman-o-Makan Ki Zunnari Na Hai Zaman Na Makan, La Ilaha Illallah
The mind has worn the holy thread of Time and Space like pagans all Though Time and Space both illusive "No god but He" is true withal.
Ye Naghma Fasl-e-Gul-o-Lala Ka Nahin Paband Bahar Ho Ke Khazan, La Ilaha Illallah
These melodious songs are not confined to time when rose and tulip bloom Whatever the season of year be "No god but He" must ring till doom.
Agarche But Hain Jamat Ki Astinon Mein Mujhe Hai Hukm-e-Azan, La Ilaha Illallah
Many idols are still concealed in their sleeves by the Faithful Fold, I am ordained by Almighty Allah to raise the call and be much bold.
-Iqbal
We are all chained to fortune: the chain of one is made of gold, and wide, while that of another is short and rusty. But what difference does it make? The same prison surrounds all of us, and even those who have bound others are bound themselves; unless perchance you think that a chain on the left side is lighter. Honors bind one man, wealth another; nobility oppresses some, humility others; some are held in subjection by an external power, while others obey the tyrant within; banishments keep some in one place, the priesthood others. All life is slavery. Therefore each one must accustom himself to his own condition and complain about it as little as possible, and lay hold of whatever good is to be found near him.
Seneca

The speaker is not important at all; what is important is for you to find out these things for yourself, so that you are free and not second-hand human beings. You must look to find out, to find out whether or not it is possible for the mind to be completely and totally free of this violence, pride and arrogance, and so come upon a different quality altogether. And to find that out you must look most intimately and discover for yourself; then it is your own, not somebody else’s, not something that you have been told, because there is no teacher and no follower. Unfortunately that word “guru” has been bandied about recently in this country; the word in Sanskrit means “the one who points”, like a signpost by the roadside. However, you don’t worship that post, hang garlands around it; neither do you follow it around and carry out all the mysterious orders a guru is supposed to give; he is just a signpost by the roadside, you read and pass by. So you have to be your own teacher and your own disciple, and there is no teacher outside, no saviour, no master; you yourself have to change, and therefore you have to learn to observe, to know yourself. This learning about yourself is a fascinating and joyous business…
