When that happens, who could stop it? … Should there be one without a taste for killing, the people will crane their necks looking out for him.

Fazlur Rahman: “The successful can be saved from their selfishness”

February 27, 2024October 12, 2020 by Lokesh Umak

“Fazlur Rahman Malik whose philosophy is now famous among the Islamic scholars”

The religious book Islam by Rahman Malik talks about experiences of prophets of Mohammad and his study that explored those experiences in a philosophic way. It unfolds the Meccans to accept his teachings, the idea of judgement. Fazlur Rahman Malik (21 September 1919 – 26 July 1988) Pakistani Philosopher, a Renowned liberal reformer of Islam. He was son of famous scholar Maulana Shihab al-Din (interest of studies — Islamic law, prophetic narrations, Quran commentaries and philosophy) He devoted his life to educational reform of Islam from Quran.

Empirical knowledge itself is of little benefit unless it awakens the inner perception of man as to his own situation, his potentialities, his risks, and his destiny
Fazlur Rahman Malik

“The philosophers and often Sufi’s did understand the Quran as a unity, but this unity was imposing upon the Quran (and Islam in general) from without rather than derived from a study of the Quran itself […]”
“It must be constantly remembered that the Quran is not just descriptive but is primarily prescriptive. Both the content of its message and the power of the form in which it is conveyed are designed not so much to “inform” men in any ordinary sense of the word as to change their character. The psychological impact and the moral import of its statements, therefore, have a primary role. Phrases like “God has sealed their hearts, blinded their eyes, deafened them to truth” in the Quran do have a descriptive meaning in terms of the psychological processes described earlier; but even more primarily in such contexts, they have a definite psychological intention: to change the ways of men in the right direction.”

_{Manuscript of Quran at Brooklyn Museum}

He brought comparative studies of Islamic elements in the education, theoretic considerations and his modern approaches adopted by Muslim theories. It is based on classical Islamic modernism. However, Rahman went through quick exploitation in his homeland by opponent general Ayub Khan and eventually that led him exile in the United state in 1968. As well as, there he started developing his educational field in teaching in the university of Chicago and the University of California.

_{96th sura of the Quran — the first revelation received by Muhammad.}

“It is this God consciousness that sent Muhammad out of the Cave of Hira where he was
want to contemplate, into the world, never to return to that Cave-or the contemplative life-again. What issues from his experience in the cave was not merely the demolishing of a Plurality of Gods, but a sustained and determined effort to achieve socioeconomic justice […]

In building any genuine and viable Islamic set of laws and institutions, there has to be a twofold movement: First one must move from the concrete case treatments of the Quran taking the necessary and relevant social conditions of that time into account-to the general principles upon which the entire teaching converges. Second, from this general level there must be a movement back to specific legislation, considering the necessary and relevant social conditions now obtaining. […]”

^{(Early Medieval Period — 5th or 6th century to the 10th century)}

His grooming teaching career was consist of teaching Persian and Islamic philosophy. His return to his homeland (Pakistan) in the year 1961 for heading up the central institute of Islamic research held him from making no progress. The writing of Rahman is still a chunk of famous Islamic Scholars. During his active years, he was master in the most spoken languages, Urdu, Persian, Arabic and English. He had also achieved excellence adapting learning classical Greek, Latin, German and French for achieving efficiency in his academic career.

What Rahman believed,

Islamic education of the early Middle Ages (Early Medieval Period — 5th or 6th century to the 10th century) led to less understanding of Quranic teachings.

John Mill, The emphatic philosopher of strange confusion

February 27, 2024October 6, 2020 by Lokesh Umak

John Stuart Mill (1806 – 1873) was the most influential personality of the nineteenth century. He was a liberal, naturalist, and utilitarian. John combined enlightenment thinking of eighteenth century with the emerging fashion of romantic and historical philosophy of nineteenth century.

Ask yourself whether you are happy or you cease to be so
John Mill

The Theory of Poetry Philosophy Changed John Mill

John was the one who was got his early isolation from his friends of his age except his siblings due to continuous pushing of Mill's father (the Scottish philosopher, historian, and economist James Mill) forming him a genius intellect. John was considered in his family a precious gem. His uninterrupted journey of education had started at the age of three, when Greek became his first foreign language. At eight, he turned the pages of Aesop's fables, Xenophon's Anabasis, the whole of Herodotus and many others.

^{Replica of a portrait commissioned to G.F. Watts by Sir Charles Dikes}

As well as, his brain also scanned thousands of pages of history in English along the way studied astronomical physics. In his reading list he had many historical authors and writers. Moreover, at the age 20 he went under dejection of suicidal depression. According to his biography, he was losing his happiness striving for his goal. It was due to dearth of fearful interest in his objective (creation of just a society).

Poetry of William Wordsworth changed Mill

Poetry is the spontaneous overflow of powerful feelings; It takes its origin from emotion recollected in tranquillity.
William Wordsworth

However, It was the poetry of Wordsworth who helped him find joy, and he continued achieving his goal. The theory of William Mill arises from the mental crises of 1826. Mill onwards in his life complete changed man of confused and muddled of two different things, Poetry and Philosophy.

— Miss Caroline Fox (Cornish Diarist) on John Mill,

Not a little; he was most emphatically a philosopher, but then he read Wordsworth and that muddled him, and he has been in a strange confusion ever since endeavouring to unite poetry and philosophy.

In his biography, it revealed that the book was unable to relate his personal experiences to his thoughts. Most of his impotent work seemed to be to hide rather than revealed the man. Some evidence had seen ignored.

“Mill's early letter to Carlyle and Sterling, his criticism of Benthamism in the 1830s and his autobiography have been seen as indicating emotional tensions, and his praise of WORDSWORTH and COLERIDGE has often been recognized as awareness of these tensions.”

See How Love Poems By Rumi Change Your view

February 27, 2024October 3, 2020 by Lokesh Umak

Learning seems effortlessly from the gunny of love poems by Rumi. He showed us how to love this universe and its forms through his poetic mind.

You can call Rumi a preacher, a saint, or promoter of the creator of this universe. He was born to a clergyman of a Persian family (30 Sep 1207 – 17 Dec 1273) in Afghanistan. His real name was Jalal ad-din Muhammad Balkhi. There was no doubt that he was not a Muslim, but he never confined himself to a particular religion. He means there is a single light that every human and their religion belongs to and has the same origin. And the meaning of his name is “Glory of The Faith”. He was a well-known Sufi master and famous for his ecstatic poetry.

and Shams-e Tabrizi

His poetry talks all about Love and according to Rumi, the definition of love he incorporated into his verses. Those books are still anyone would love to read which are timeless poetry.

“That flame which when it blazes up, burns away everything except the everlasting beloved.”

Reading it quickly reminds us a famous saying, “everything is fair in love and war” it is likely more similar in terms but Rumi put it in very precise way.

The below poetry of Rumi explains extremely well. He put himself into different states of life and educate readers. This verse is from his one of the well-known works “The Masnavi”.

I died to the mineral state and became a plant,
I died to the vegetal state and reached animality,
I died to the animal state and became a man,
Then what should I fear? I have never become less from dying.
At the next charge (forward) I will die to human nature,
So, that I may lift (my) head and wings (and soar) among the angels,
And I must (also) jump from the river of (the state of) the angel,
Everything perishes except His Face,
Once again I will become sacrificed from (the state of) the angel,
I will become that which cannot come into the imagination,
Then I will become non-existent; non-existence says to me (in tones) like an organ,
Truly, to Him, is our return.

His micro thinking in this poetry earned high value by placing his powerful imagination to overcome the fear of human. The poem states simply flow of energy from one object to another. It is a process of nature. He and his verses well explained the way to reach god and it is possible through poetry, songs, dance which awakes our consciousness and lead us through a bright light to the Devine power.
His other great work “Diwan-e Shams-e Tabriz” after reading his love poems by Rumi, It appears that he wanted to dissolve all the lovers and awake human awareness.

Wash your ear.
When you see ugly stuff,
Wash your eyes,
When you get bad thoughts,
Wash your mind.

Rumi Poem: "In Your Light I Learn How To Love"

In your beauty, how to make poems.
You dance inside my chest
where no one sees you,
but sometimes I do,
and that sight becomes this art.

The above poem of Rumi says that what I create from my thoughts that is all about you. It is a love inside his chest that no one could see, but he could sometimes see and reveal the identity of the perception to the lovers through his writings and that is called Art by Rumi.

One of the love poems by Rumi: There is nothing ahead

Lovers think they’re looking for each other,
but there’s only one search: wandering
this world is wandering that,
both inside one
transparent sky.
In here there is
no dogma and no heresy.
The miracle of Jesus is himself, not what he said
or did about the future.

Forget the future.
I’d worship someone who could do that.
On the way you may want to look back, or not.
But if you can say, There’s nothing ahead,
there will be nothing there.
Stretch your arms
and take hold the cloth of your clothes
with both hands.
The cure for pain is in the pain.
Good and bad are mixed.
If you don’t have both,
you don’t belong with us.
When one of us gets lost,
is not here, he must be inside us.

There’s no place like that anywhere in the world.

The poet said that there is nothing apart from this holy earth where the pain, love, and cure are present. If there is pain, there is cure inside itself. Finding cure of pain is a job of Ambitious man.

How The artist Ilya Repin found the truth

September 30, 2020 by Lokesh Umak

The mind of famous artist from Russia Repin (5 Aug 1844 – 29 Sep 1930) was not less than any brilliant man who studied the perfect combination of lights and colours in his work. In his paintings he represented the deep sensitivity of man through the magic of colours. He was one of the renowned artists from the group called “Peredvizhniki” the group of Russians (Painters) who incorporated realism into their work. The group had the best wanderers who formed many paintings and those captured mainly lives of an ordinary people.

“When I found truth, there I found my god, who is the truth itself.”
— Saint Augustine

The first work of Repin after his college (he finished his studies from “Imperial Academy of Arts” in St Petersburg) was “Barge Haulers on the Volga”

His work attracts the attention of any man on this earth. His creativity explains to itself that how superbness was in his brush that left no fallacy in his painting. It gives the fresh sense of hard-work, poverty, and exhaustion of human strength. This is a real work of human involvement with soul and finding the truth inside into the real life.

From most of his paintings it proves how the soul of electrifying senses was prone to capture the real scene and life of peasant into his works. Most of his works were produced during 1885.

— Letter to Stasov, Kramskoi wrote on Ilya Repin,

“Repin is capable of depicting the Russian peasant exactly as he is. I know many artists who have painted peasants, some of them very well, but none of them ever came close to what Repin does.”

^{Reply of the Zaporozhian Cossacks to Sultan Mehmed (1891)}

In his lifetime, he created almost more than 540 paintings and shifted to Finland. And spent his elderly days in his house Penates. The house is now a public museum (It was publicly announced as museum thirteen years later his death.)

Desire Of Soul By Abai Qunanbaiuly love everyone in learning

July 25, 2024September 26, 2020 by Lokesh Umak

Cultural reformer and poet Abay Kunanbayev (b.10 Aug 1845 – 6 July 1904) from Kazakhstan renowned for his notable work “The Book of Words” there were two inspirational people in his life since his childhood, Mikhail Lermontov (Russian writer) and Alexander Pushkin (Russian Poet). His second name is Abai Qunanbaiuly.

His poetry represents Kazakh culture and folklore for his people and the country. He developed as a fine writer from Russian culture and literature.

His pen brought about socio-political and economic changes that resulted in over the educational and philosophical changes to the existing philosophers, whether it is from Asia, Western or Russia. From his magical writings native continued to adapt the moral of the stories from his writings.

His reading experiences were mostly from Russian and European literature that transformed his life. Abay worked hard for the liberty of people and bringing the education as well as making them free from poverty was his prolong motive. And drive the awareness of corruption in the country.

From the book “The Book of Words” these thoughts and wisdom are famous, read below.

“Sorrow darkens the soul, chills the body, numbs the will, and then bursts forth in words or tears. I have seen people praying; “Oh, Allah, make me as carefree as a babe!” They imagine themselves to be sufferers, oppressed by cares and misfortunes, as though they had more sense than infants. As to their cares and concern, these can be judged from the proverbs: “If you will live no longer than noon, make provision for the whole day”,
“Even his father becomes a stranger to a beggar”
“Cattle for the Kazakh is flesh of his flesh”
“A rich man has a countenance full of light, a poor man — as hard as stone”
“The dzighit and the wolf will find their food along the way”
“The herds of exalted men are left to the care of others, except when such men have nothing better to do”
“The hand that takes also gives”
“He who has managed to get rich is always in the right”
“If you can't rely on the bey, don't count on God either”
“If you are famished, gallop to the place of a funeral feast”
“Beware of a lake with no shallows and of a people that knows no mercy”
Such proverbs are legion.”

“Life is the source of well-being...” What kind of life is meant here? Just existing to keep body and soul together? But even a dog is endowed with such an existence. He who treasures such a life, who is plagued by the fear of death, becomes an enemy to life everlasting.”

[...] Fleeing for his life from the foe, he will be known as a coward; shirking work, he will pass for a ne'er-do-well, he will become an enemy of the good. [...] No, what the proverb refers to is another kind of life. One that keeps the soul alive and the mind clear. If your body is alive but your soul is dead, words of reason will not reach you, and you will be incapable of earning your living by honest work.”

A loafer and a sycophant,
A hanger-on and an impudent fellow,
Valiant in his looks but craven in his heart,
Has no sense of shame […]”
If you are like that, do not imagine yourself to be alive. A righteous death will then be better than such an existence.
Abai Qunanbaiuly

Abay said that an infant only required two things in this life and those become essential needs. First is food, drink and sleep. And the other is having intense desire and unending crave for knowledge.

What is that?
What’s that for?
Why is he doing that?

— Abay,

“This is the natural desire of the soul, the wish to see everything, hear everything and learn everything.”

A Poem by Abai Qunanbaiuly (The Book of Words)

When dying,
I will not lament:
Alas, I have not tasted
This or that joy!..
Not torturing me with
regrets about earthly things,
I shall find solace
In the life to come.
A good child is a joy,
but a bad one is a burden.
Who knows what kind of child,
God will bestow on you?
Or haven't had enough
of the humiliation you have
Had to swallow all your life?

July 28, 2024September 15, 2020 by Lokesh Umak

"Bal Gangadhar Tilak (23 July 1856–1 Aug 1920) was a teacher. The man who turned to journalist for bringing the awareness of freedom in India. His pen was more than any sword and his paper was a carrier of fire of independence and reminders to every individual. He called as the father of the first independence movement."

The man who brought the fire of independence to India. In case of Swaraj, he had left his easy-going life of teacher and became a journalist. However, his famous publication were Kesari and Maratha (newspaper). The main objective of his life was to bring consciousness among the people. Everyone must get their independence and free from the British rules.
Further, He was the first man who had started celebrating Ganesh Chaturthi of ten days of celebration publicly. And thus his followers had also started celebrating in every nook and corner of Maharashtra. The motive behind celebrating Idol Ganesha was to bring the people together irrespective of caste, colour and religions and in addition to this, every day of the ten days at the end of the day started giving speeches of freedom and spreading the awareness.

Tilak, The maker of modern India
Mahatma Gandhi

Tilak Was The Reason of Ganesh Chaturthi Celebrations

Moreover, This (people celebrating Ganesha) was also helped him to eliminate the caste system from the society. Before Gandhi, Tilak was the first person in India who had begun and spread the flak of independence movement of India. Bal Gandharv Tilak is called as The Father of India’s Revolution. Swami Vivekanand was a Religious nationalist at that time and on the other hand Tilak was Political. Both met accidentally in the year 1892 and had the great regards for each-other and in their motives.

Swaraj is my birthright and I shall get it.
Bal Gandharv Tilak

In his newspaper, Maratha (English daily newspaper), he could write about British presidency, current affairs and sedition about the government of British India. Tilak had a great potential, self-confidence and abundance courage to bring the people together. The brave heart brought millions of people close together and had set the disapproval of British. The unrest soul since then called “Lokmanya Tilak” when he earned the pride and hearts from the people (his supporters) of India.

There is an old saying that God helps those who help themselves.
Lokmanya Tilak

However, in Oct 1916, when Lokmanya Tilak visited Ahmedabad, more than 40 thousand people welcomed him. During that period, Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel and Tilak first time came closer. Patel was very much influenced by his warm welcome, spirit and looking at his enthusiasm of activism of self-rule.

^{Lala Lajpat Ray, Lokmanya Tilak, Bipin Chandra Pal}

Lal Bal Pal (Lala Lajpat Ray, Bal Gangadhar Tilak and Bipin Chandra Pal, they called as Triumvirate) had started the first biggest Swadeshi movement in the year 1906–1918, with the power of these three and the entire nation had boycott of all imported items and goods and switched to India made goods in 1907. All the Indian leaders were supporting Swadeshi strongly when Anti-partition distress of Bengal which began in 1905.
Many times over the Cold War between the British government of India and Tilak for which he was arrested many times. In the year 1897 for the first time, followed by 1909, and 1916.

He was jailed mostly for the sedition or lectures on self-rules, and increasing of racial animosity between Indians and British In the year 1908, Tilak was impressment for the long-run (six years) under the changes of sedition in Mandalay (due to one of his published articles that defend the suspects, showing rebellious behaviour of British Raj).
Muhammad Ali Jinnah was his lawyer at that time, and Jinnah was also sentenced to six years of jail due to defending Tilak.
Upon asking by the judge if Tilak had anything to say.

Tilak said,

“All that I wish to say is that, despite the verdict of the jury, I still maintain that I am innocent. There are higher powers that rule the destinies of men and nations. And I think, it may be the will of Providence that the cause I represent may be benefited more by my suffering than by my pen and tongue.”

The court,

“You hail the advent of the bomb in India as if something had come to India for its good. I say, such journalism is a curse to the country”.

While Tilak was in jail he wrote, Gita Rahasya.

When Patel was mayor of Ahmedabad, he went against opposition. And without caring about losing his position, he established a statue of Tilak in Victoria Garden in 28 Feb 1929 (nine years later when Tilak was died). In addition to this it was inaugurated by M K Gandhi.

Education is not preparation for life; education is life itself.

September 12, 2020 by Lokesh Umak

No one who is informed in the education field can doubt about a moment the profound influence of John Dewey on both the theory and practice of American education.
— Williams Heard Kilpatrick (successor of John Dewey)

Master of comprehensive study of educational needs, problems and possibilities. John Dewey (20 Oct 1859–1 Jun 1952) was an American psychologist, philosopher and education reformer. He mined-down the American education issues and problems. And came out from the ocean of questions and their relative analytical answers. He brought Ancient Greece Principles (the most influential philosophy of the 6th century BC) to life.

The study of John influenced on every philosopher of the world. He considered one of the scholars of the 20th century. Babasaheb Ambedkar (a social reformer) was one of the fans of John.

He brought difference in areas of constitutions of India and in its educational fields.
Moreover, his kin study of traditional education and progressive education provides distinguish results to American. And the rest of the philosopher of the world. Dewey believed in the practical studies of matter of education in bodies of information and its skills. Those things that worked out in the past.

We only think when confronted with a problem.
― John Dewey

However, Dewey called the business of schools and colleges successful. It only when it transmitted them to the new generation.

“John’s main objective was to prepare the young for the future responsibilities and for success in life. By acquisition of organized bodies of information and prepared forms of skill which comprehend the material of instruction.”

As well as, the below statement of John says that education means the process of acquiring, learnings from our elders. The progressive education system of America incorporated already into books early 20th century. Dewey predominantly believed that “Taught is thought”.

Learning here means acquisition of what already is incorporated into books and in the heads of the elders. Moreover, that which is taught is thought of essential static. It is taught as a finish product with little regard. Either to the ways in which it was originally built up or to change that will surely occur in the future.
― John Dewey

Furthermore, the people are blind in terms of traditional education. They believed that education of traditional procedure ends only when old people can’t solve the problem. Thus, john says in his definition in a very precise manner that,

[…] The point I am making is that rejection of the philosophy, and practice of traditional education. It sets a new type of difficult educational problem. It is for those who believe in the new type of education. We shall operate blindly and confused until we recognize this fact; until we thoroughly appreciate that departure from the old solves no problems […]
― John Dewey

However, the Progressive education includes different types of activities. It triggers the new brain. It brainstorms the ideas and includes different types of games in schools and colleges. Educational institutions have been incorporating into the since late 19th century.
According to Dewey, his permanent frame of study and theory talks about the organic connection between education and personal experience. The new education commit empirical and experimental philosophy.

The more definitely and sincerely it is held that education is a development. Within, by, and or experience. The more important it is that there shall be clear conceptions of what experience is.

Many ministers talk about Dr Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan as a teacher

— Former Prime Minister (1984 – 1989) Rajeev Gandhi Aug 16, 1988 Delhi,

I am glad that the Rajya Sabha Secretariat is bringing out a Commemorative Volume on the occasion of the birth centenary of India's great philosopher-statesman Dr. Sarvepalli Radhakrishnan, who was the first Chairman of the Rajya Sabha. Dr. Radhakrishnan earned high laurels for himself and for our country. He brought dignity and lustre to the several high offices which he held with great distinction. The Rajya Sabha had the honour of having Dr. Radhakrishnan as its first Chairman, fulfilling in every measure the high expectations of him that were voiced by Jawaharlal Nehru while felicitating Dr. Radhakrishnan on his election as Vice-President: You come to us with this background and experience and insight and knowledge of affairs in the East and the West, in the past and the present, and with some vision of the future, and I do not think our country could have been more fortunate than to have you in this high position. During his ten-year term as Chairman of the Rajya Sabha, Dr. Radhakrishnan displayed his masterly skill in conducting the affairs of the House. He established important conventions, valuable practices and secured to the Rajya Sabha a distinct and dignified place in the parliamentary system of our country.”

— Lok Sabha Speaker, Bal Ram Jakhar,

An eminent son of modern India, Dr. Radhakrishnan's was a personality synthesizing the wisdom of the East and the West and of the past and the present. An eminent educationist, philosopher, statesman and an orator nonpareil, his contribution in guiding our Republic in its formative years was significant. A man of simple living, very high thinking and superb intellectual attainments, Dr. Radhakrishnan left an indelible mark on our national life. As the distinguished Presiding Officer of the Rajya Sabha from its very inception for a whole decade, and later our Rashtrapati (vice-president), he laid down many a sound tradition. Mine sincere congratulations to the Rajya Sabha Secretariat for celebrating, in a befitting manner, the centenary of this great representative of our composite culture achievements in many fields will, for long, be a source of pride and inspiration for our countrymen from all walks of life.

Dr. S. Radhakrishnan has the rare qualification of being equally versed in the great European and the not less great Asian Tradition, which may be said to hold in solution between them the Spiritual Wisdom of the World, and of thus speaking as a philosophical bi linguist upon it.
B D Jatti (5th vice president of India)

Radhakrishnan as a philosopher: by any measure Dr Sarvepalli is one of the rarest and most forceful combination of the idealistic thoughts of the Upanishadic origin and ethics of action so essential in our time as per Dr Gopal Singh.

He wrote “The ethics of Vedanta and its Metaphysical Preposition” at the age of 20. Dr Radhakrishnan explored the tradition of India, through his writings he manifested consciousness and concerns of man and his life in the world. And redefined the vision of Advaita Vedanta — the relationship between Brahmin and the worlds. The motive of his writings was to represent the classic Indian thoughts which still found in Upanishads, the Bhagavad Gita and Brahma sutras.
