Zahra speaks

The current situation has rendered a lot of lessons for everyone. Everyone has understood something or the other. Some people haven't learned anything and I feel it's fine, not everyone is bound to be learning something in this time of isolation. Earlier, the saints, gurus, or the yogis would go into isolation to practice meditation, to achieve a greater connection with the Higher source. Perhaps they did find something, perhaps they found they looked for. The definition may be different but we all are finding something, some questions need to be answered, consciously or unconsciously, we want something which is not materialistic, it is purely spiritual. What is it? You have to find out, only if you have the will to do so.  I will not be going into any deeper conversation about what the meaning of life is or what I am finding. I have observed something so simple yet astounding in this period of isolation. Even before the quarantine started I was in quarantine for a month. I los...

My super self,  It's a reminder that everything will be alright. You have been through many trying times but see, they passed. This time is very strange, the world is struggling. The lockdown and quarantine have introduced the world to the dimension you experienced a long time ago, it's not something new and it's not something that will stay either. That's the thing about time, the good and bad, it passes and makes you stronger. I am not saying 'hang in there'  for the sake of saying, I mean it.  Life has not been easy, but what's a ride without bumps (especially when you live in Lahore). Just remember that some things were a dream a few years ago but you achieved it, lived it. That's a miracle and if that can happen, anything can. You tested your abilities and to some extent, prove many people wrong. The journey has not ended, it's ongoing but you have accomplished things that you should be proud of. When life was not happy-go-lucky, you avoided the...

God created every face with much detailing. Have you ever noticed that every person has a different kind of shine in his or her eyes? The voices are so diverse, any two people rarely have the same voice. You see many faces every day, have you ever tried to examine the minute features on each face? It is rather impossible to contemplate the work of Almighty, His art, His creation, us. If we are physically different from each other, it is only logical to say, our souls are also different from each other. At birth, we are blessed with flesh and blood, this body, and a soul. Nobody is born without a soul and when the soul leaves the body, physical death occurs. Not everyone is as healthy as others and sometimes some people are much more physically fit as compared to others. The health, if not fully but, depends on how you treat your body. For example, if you are having an infection, you take medicines to help your body combat the disease. Similarly, our soul also nourishes or distorts...
