Have you ever wondered why the modern man

is in such a conflict with the Divine plan?

Because he sees everything with the wrong lens

His distance from the truth is thus immense

He thinks every talent, skill or ability

is to earn nothing but personal glory

When he has quenched this desire of caprice

he feels it's the ultimate level of bliss

He calls it self-actualization

I label it self-destruction

No one is born with any faculty

that is a hindrance towards reality

How can God make someone into an actor or a dancer

when His teachings are to ensure none is a sinner

A single verse of the Quran, can you quote?

or from the prophet's life, any anecdote?

which tells us that instead of piety

we should only strive for competency

The entire concept of religion

is under a spell of delusion

It is falsely said, "if you've got it, flaunt it"

God granted woman beauty but ordered to conceal it

So tough is the path of humility

to not seek any worldly nobility

Spiritual masters aren't fools

to break contemporary rules

They always stress on the lower-self's annihilation

Because in God's eyes, worth has a unique criterion

This isn't another philosophical contradiction

This is what I call as the great misconception!
