MUHAMMAD IQBAL

“THE REVEALED AND MYSTIC LITERATURE OF MANKIND BEARS AMPLE TESTIMONY TO THE FACT THAT RELIGIOUS EXPERIENCE HAS BEEN TOO ENDURING AND DOMINANT IN THE HISTORY OF MANKIND TO BE REJECTED AS MERE ILLUSION. THERE SEEMS TO BE NO REASON, THEN, TO ACCEPT THE NORMAL LEVEL OF HUMAN EXPERIENCE AS FACT AND REJECT ITS OTHER LEVELS AS MYSTICAL AND EMOTIONAL.”
