Serve the selfless spiritual personalities if you

have the longing for love; this pearl is not
available in the treasures of kings.
Do not ask of these Devotees, if you have faith,
you should look at them; they possess the
miraculously illuminated hands in their sleeves,
as Moses, the Prophet historically had. Allama Iqbal
