The ancient mariner fears that the wedding guest sees him as a ghost due to his skinny hand and lank appearance. He reassures the guest that he is no ghost but one of the few survivors of a doomed voyage. For a week, the mariner was tormented by the haunting eyes of his dead crewmates whose bodies did not decay. Upon blessing some snakes, the curse of the dead was lifted and the albatross fell from his neck, freeing him of his burden.
Coleridge’s "The Rime of the Ancient" Mariner part ivmahmud maha
The mariner continues his story, describing his ghostly appearance which frightens the wedding guest. He is alone at sea with his soul in bitter pain, as neither God nor angels offer him relief. The dead sailors lay on the deck, and though alive, the mariner is as ugly as the sea creatures. Unable to pray or sleep, he is tormented by the curse in the dead sailors' eyes. However, when he blesses some water snakes from his heart, his love for them breaks the curse and frees him to pray once more as the albatross falls from his neck.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

4. THE form of existence is an effect of the Self,
Whatsoever thou seest is a secret of the Self.
When the Self awoke to consciousness,
It revealed the universe of Thought.
A hundred worlds are hidden in its essence:
Self-affirmation brings Not-self to light.
By the Self the seed of hostility is sown in the world:
It imagines itself to be other than itself.
It makes from itself the forms of others
In order to multiply the pleasure of strife.
It is slaying by the strength of its arm
That it may become conscious of its own strength.
Its self-deceptions are the essence of Life;
Like the rose, it lives by bathing itself in blood.
For the sake of a single rose it destroys a hundred rose-gardens
And makes a hundred lamentations in quest of a single melody.
For one sky it produces a hundred new moons,
And for one word a hundred discourses.
The excuse for this wastefulness and cruelty
Is the shaping and perfecting of spiritual beauty.
The loveliness of Shírín justifies the anguish of Farhád,
The fragrant navel justifies a hundred musk-deer.
’Tis the fate of moths to consume in flame:
The suffering of moths is justified by the candle.
The pencil of the Self limned a hundred to-days
In order to achieve the dawn of a single morrow.
Its flames burned a hundred Abrahams
That the lamp of one Mohammed might be lighted.
Subject, object, means, and causes—
They all exist for the purpose of action.
The Self rises, kindles, falls, glows, breathes,
Burns, shines, walks, and flies.
The spaciousness of Time is its arena,
Heaven is a billow of the dust on its road.
From its rose-planting the world abounds in roses;
Night is born of its sleep, day springs from its waking.
It divided its flame into sparks
And taught the understanding to worship particulars.
It dissolved itself and created the atoms,
5. It was scattered for a little while and created the sands.
Then it wearied of dispersion
And by re-uniting itself it became the mountains.
’Tis the nature of the Self to manifest itself:
In every atom slumbers the might of the Self.
Power that is unexpressed and inert
Chains the faculties which lead to action.
Inasmuch as the life of the universe
comes from the strength of the Self,
Life is in proportion to this strength.
When a drop of water gets the Self's lesson by heart,
It makes its worthless existence a pearl.
Wine is formless because its self is weak;
It receives a form by favour of the cup.
Although the cup of wine assumes a form,
It is indebted to us for its motion.
When the mountain loses its self, it turns into sands
And complains that the sea surges over it;
But the wave, so long as it remains a wave in the sea's bosom,
Makes itself a rider on the sea's back.
Light has been a beggar since the eye first rolled
And moved to and fro in search of beauty;
But forasmuch as the grass found a
means of growth in its self,
Its aspiration clove the breast of the garden.
The candle too concatenated itself
And built itself out of atoms;
Then it made a practice of melting
itself away and fled from its self
Until at last it trickled down from its own eye, like tears.
If the bezel had been more self-secure by nature,
It would not have suffered wounds,
But since it derives its value from the superscription,
Its shoulder is galled by the burden of another's name.
Because the earth is firmly based on self-existence,
6. The captive moon goes round it perpetually.
The being of the sun is stronger than that of the earth:
Therefore is the earth bewitched by the sun's eye.
The glory of the plane fixes our gaze,
The mountains are enriched by its majesty:
Its raiment is woven of fire,
Its origin is one self-assertive seed.
When Life gathers strength from the Self,
The river of Life expands into an ocean.
EXPLANATION:
The title of this chapter deserves comments.
Showing that the system of the universe originates in the Self, and that the
continuation of the life of all individuals depends on strengthening the Self.
For Iqbal universe is designed with a purpose. It has a well-organized system through
which it functions. This becomes one of the arguments for the existence of God, the
Creator and the Designer. The Self with a capital S here is a reference to the Ultimate or
the Absolute Ego, that is, God. He is Absolute, Necessary and Self-Sustaining.
Everything else proceeds from the Absolute Ego and can be described as contingent,
dependent, limited or individual ego. God created everything else in order to manifest
Himself as a famous Sufi goes in various versions.
عرفوني فبه الخلق فخلقت أعرف أن فأردت .مخفيا كنزا كنت
فعرفوني بي فعرفتهم ًاخلق فخلقت أعرف أن فأحببت ،أعرف ال ًاكنز كنت
The Muslim orthodoxy does not recognize this as an authentic Prophetic tradition. It
implies that God states that He was a hidden treasure. He intended to be known so He
created everything in order to be known.
As opposed to the mystic doctrine اوست همه (everything is Him or He is everything) Iqbal
states that اوست از همه (everything proceeds from Him). Iqbal mentions in one of his
letters that he borrowed the title of this chapter from a verse by Jami.
نمود بيرون بخود خود از را جمله
He brought everything into existence from Himself
7. Iqbal uses a purely mystic term وجود تعينات referring to all Egos other than the
Universal Ego. The sustenance and continuation of these “secondary’ egos depends upon
self-awareness and its strengthening. This is the point of departure between Iqbal and the
mystics. For the mystics all other egos have to lose their individualities and get absorbed
in the Ultimate Ego to achieve immortality. For Iqbal the individual ego has to be
developed to a higher level to achieve perfection and reach the level of Divine
Vicegerency. Pantheists consider the material word as unreal and illusory while Iqbal
states that the external world exists and is real. For him “the universe as a whole is an ago
and the essence of egohood lies in its private circuit of individuality” as mentioned by
Syed Abdul Vahid in his book, “Studies in Iqbal”.s
Iqbal seems to have derived his concept of an organized universe from the Holy Quran.
ِقْلَخ ِِف َنوُرَّكَفَتَيَو ْمِِوِبُنُج ٰىَلَعَو اًودُعُقَو اًامَيِق َهَّلال َنوُرُكْذَي َينِذَّلا
َكَناَحْبُس ًًلِاطَب اَذَٰه َتْقَلَخ اَم اَنَّبَر ِضَْرْاْلَو ِاتَاوَمَّالسَابَذَع اَنِقَف
ِرَّانال
Men who celebrate the praises of Allah, standing, sitting, and lying down on their sides,
and contemplate the (wonders of) creation in the heavens and the earth, (With the
thought): "Our Lord! not for naught Hast Thou created (all) this! Glory to Thee! Give us
salvation from the penalty of the Fire. Aal-e-Imran verse 191
َيِبِع ََل اَمُهَنْيَب اَمَو َضَْرْاْلَو َاءَمَّالس اَنْقَلَخ اَمَو
Not for (idle) sport did We create the heavens and the earth and all that is between. Al-
Anbiyaa verse 16
As Dr. Jamila Khatoon writes in her book “The place of God, man and universe in the
philosophic system of Iqbal”, the universe “is the Divine creation. It has its origin, source
and ground in the creative will and the conscious power of God. And God is not a
contriver working upon external matter, a material prima which exists as formless and
indeterminate reality, independent of, and co-eternal to, the Divine Reality”. The
universe is not made up of dead and inert substances devoid of purpose, value and
meaning. It is a living and dynamic reality, a system of interrelated events, an organism
8. organically related to God. Without reference to God, the universe is inexplicable and
meaningless.
As professor Yousuf Saleem Chishti and Ghulam Ahmad Pervez explain the mystic term
تعين means limitation of the manifestation of the Ultimate Ego. For example there are
hundreds of vents for the entry of light in a big house. When sunlight enters this house,
all the vents are lit up. Sunlight is one but now it is manifested through hundreds of vents.
If the vents vanish, only sunlight remains. Likewise God is the Absolute Light. Humans,
animals, trees, stones, rivers, seas, sun, moon, starts, earth, heavens, planets are non-
existent in essence. They owe their existence to the Absolute Ego. As Mirza Rafi Sauda
described
دے اٹھا سے دل در کے تعين کو پردے
کا جہاں طلسمات ميں پل ابھی ہے کھلتا
Remove the curtain of being from the door of the heart
The phantom of the universe will vanish in an instant
A time will come when all egos except the Absolute Ego will disappear.
ِامَرْكِْاْلَو ِل ًَلَْاْل وُذ َكِّبَر ُهْجَو ٰىَقْبَيَو انَف اَهْيَلَع ْنَم ُّلُك
All that is on earth will perish. But will abide (forever) the Face of thy Lord, full of
Majesty, Bounty and Honour. Yousuf Ali Rahman 26-27
او اثبات از پيداست او غير
کاشته خصومت تخم جهان درست
پنداشته خود غير را خويشتنست
را اغيار پيکر خود از سازد
را پيکار لذت فزايد تا
Self-affirmation brings Not-self to light.
By the Self the seed of hostility is sown in the world:
It imagines itself to be other than itself.
It makes from itself the forms of others
In order to multiply the pleasure of strife.
It is the self-affirmation of the Ultimate Ego that gives rise to the other or the “not-self”,
that is, this world of change and flux, of desire and yearning, of love and beauty, in order
to have His own manifestation. (Dr. Jamila Khatoon)
9. Ghulam Ahmad Pervez comments upon this passage:
This is a difficult issue that Iqbal is trying to tackle. We encounter contrasts and
contradictions in this world. Darkness and light, health and disease, comfort and
adversity, poison and its antidote, life and death are some of the issues that philosophers
have tried to resolve. If the positive qualities have been created by the Ultimate Ego then
who created their opposites and why? If God is capable of removing the evil then why
does He not do it? And if he is not capable of doing this then how can He be considered
as All Powerful? The Zoorastrians explained this contrast by two opposite Gods, Yazdan
and Ahraman. Then there is the Hegelian philosophy in which things are recognized
through their opposites. If there was no darkness, there would be no concept of light. Evil
must exist in order for us to understand the define good.
Establishment and evolution of egohood lies in constant struggle. There can be no
struggle if there is no challenge. Hence “the other” must exist.
Its self-deceptions are the essence of Life;
Like the rose, it lives by bathing itself in blood
The struggle of self against the not-self and its eventual victory are described as self-
deception by the poet. The self emerges glorified through this battle like the rose that
lives by bathing itself in blood.
10. For the sake of a single rose it destroys a hundred rose-gardens
And makes a hundred lamentations in quest of a single melody.
For one sky it produces a hundred new moons,
And for one word a hundred discourses.
The excuse for this wastefulness and cruelty
Is the shaping and perfecting of spiritual beauty.
Iqbal seems to be describing an evolutionary process through which this Universe has
gone through and is still undergoing. The beauty in the rose has appeared after thousands
of years of evolution. A hundred gardens were destroyed in this process. Millions of
species of nightingales must have emerged before the perfectly melodious one was born.
The humans did not develop the ability to speak overnight. The process of articulating a
single word was developed by sacrificing a hundred discourses. Why this wastefulness
and cruelty in nature? The poet gives the reason
معنوی جمال تکميل و خلق
The creation and perfection of the spiritual beauty.
As a Prophetic tradition states:
الجمال يحب جميل هللا ان
Allah is beautiful and he likes beauty
And the Holy Quran mentions:
ُدَبَّالز اََّمأَفُبِرْضَي َكِلَذَك ِضَْرْاْل ِِف ُثُكْمَيَف ََّاسنال ُعَفْنَي اَم اََّمأَو ًاءَفُج ُبَهْذَيَف
َالَثَْمْاْل ُهَّلال
Then, as for the foam, it passeth away as scum upon the banks, while, as for that which is
of use to mankind, it remaineth in the earth. Thus doth Allah set forth parables. (Ar-Raad
verse 17)
Why would Farhad go through anguish after anguish, and why would a moth fly around a
candle only to die by burning? It is the quest for beauty that cannot be achieved but by
life-long struggle.
Iqbal then becomes more philosophical in the following two verses.
11. بست امروز صد نقش او ی خامه
بدست فردائی صبح بيارد تا
سوخت ابراهيم صد او های شعله
فروخت بر محمد يک چراغ تا
He portrays God as an artist whose stroke paints and repaints a hundred todays to
produce the final print of tomorrow. Each day is different from the one before and after.
The universe is being created and recreated each moment. The Creator just did not create
time and space in one instant and then decided to sit and watch.
نْأَش ِِف َوُه مْوَي َّلُك
every day in (new) Splendour doth He (shine)! (Ar-Rahman 29)
He then mentions the perfection of the final Prophet Mohammad, peace be upon him.
Hundreds of prophets came before the Last One. The Prophets received illumination from
the Divine Flame until the last and the brightest candle shone in the earth. The way Iqbal
has put it might mean that the message of Prophethood proceeded in an evolutionary
pattern. The fact is that the basic message of all the Prophets was the same. The practice
of religion progressed through stages depending upon needs of mankind in various times.
Ghulam Ahmad Pervez is perhaps correct in saying that it would have been better if Iqbal
had not mentioned this example to elaborate his point.
12. Professor Chishti writes:
It was after a constant struggle of millions of years that Nature produced a Perfect Man.
Millions of human beings were created and destroyed in this process. Allah could have
made this world a perfect one but He designed a process of evolution. Hence this law
continues to operate in this world and we all have to follow it.
It divided its flame into sparks
And taught the understanding to worship particulars.
It dissolved itself and created the atoms,
It was scattered for a little while and created the sands.
Then it wearied of dispersion
And by re-uniting itself it became the mountains.
’Tis the nature of the Self to manifest itself:
In every atom slumbers the might of the Self.
Ego represents a whole; it is indivisible. Yet Ego has divided its Flame into smaller
sparks so that human intellect could study these separately and then try to come up with a
comprehensive concept. Science studies different aspects of reality while Revelation
13. encompasses the whole. The different phenomena of nature that science seeks to study
and understand are but different manifestations of the Ego that likes to show itself. It is
the energy running in every atom of this universe.
Ego is a silent but every dynamic force. Since it manifests itself in action, it creates
certain rules of the game that it itself observes as well. The following verse is the essence
of the ensuing passage according to Professor Chishti.
است خودی زور از عالم حيات چون
است زندگی استواری بقدر پس
In as much as the life of the universe comes from the power of Self
Life is in proportion to this power.
The existence of this universe (and hence of its components including human beings)
depends upon the Self. Hence the existence of creations depends upon the strength of
their selfhood. The stronger the contingent self (human personality) the closer it would be
to the Absolute Ego. A water drop is worthless but Ego turns it into a pearl. Wine by
itself is formless (has weak Ego) and takes the form of the cup in which it is poured. The
ego of cup is stronger than that of the wine but it cannot move by itself. We move it.
Weak egos have to serve others.
The concept of energy changing into different forms is further explained by Iqbal. Light
limits itself into an orbit to become eye. The eye then moves to and fro in search of
beauty. Light, the absolute energy, transformed itself into a physical object thus
subjecting itself to certain laws of physics.
More examples follow such as the grass, the candle and the gemstone. Earth is firmly
established in relation to the moon but the personality of the sun is stronger so the earth is
mesmerized by the solar eye. The development of Ego starts from a small step. The
tallest tree started out as a small seed.
14. زيست نيروی هم به آرد خودی چون
میزيست جوی از قلزمی گشايد
When Life gathers strength from the Self
The river of life expands into an ocean
With the strengthening of Self human beings can develop unlimited powers and
creativity.
