These are my all expansions, can be helpful for new aspirants. These are not infallable, so seniors should sort out mistakes. Thanks.

Man probes into space but not into himself


The more time passes the more man goes away of self. He enters materialistic world and space, and remains away from spirituality and self. The self which is essence, but it is neglected. Man has discovered atom and stars but has never seen into himself. Self has supernatural secrets to tell, but man is busy with space. He discovers outer world but avoids inner mysteries.

All the Sufi, mystics and wise people said to know "self". They discovered the real quest. The great philosopher Socrates says, " Know thyself." Self tells all things. When one knows self, he knows the nature. However, man is looking at things in world and cosmos and doesn't peep into himself. Rumi Says, "Everything in the universe is within you. Ask all from yourself."

The great philosopher and universal poet Moulana Jalaldeen Rumi tried to find God on Cristian Cross; he went at Hindu temples and pagodas, he searched into cave Hira; he went into Kaba and Macca, he looked into vales and mountains, but God was not into heights and depths. Then, he sought into himself into his heart, and God was present. As Baba Bulleh Shah says, "You run to enter your mosques and temples, but you never entered your own heart."

Man discovers photons but doesn't probe into himself. He tries to live on mars but doesn't want to see life of self. He tries to know where planet Pluto is gone but doesn't want to know where he is derailed. He discovers planets like super-earth but doesn't look for the fact. And, Indeed, man probes into space not into himself. Bulleh Shah says, "We have drowned in the river of Self."

The Nearer the Church the Farther From God (Expansion 2012)

Hundreds years of worship are useless without true love. Those who live days and nights in churches, and world dwells in their hearts; God is very far away from them. The only bond which makes bondage between God and Man of God is love. Worship goes futile without love. Those who live in churches, temples and mosques, and love for God is not in their hearts, God is farther from them.

When there was no time, cause, season, theory and reason, there was an existence of love. This entire cosmos is created for love. God is lover, and He loves the lovers not worshipers. The Satan is known as the greatest worshiper of God but God is farther from him. Because, Satan is worshiper not lover. Moulana Jalal Din Rumi says, “Without love, all worship is a burden.” Indeed, those who live in the place of worship, they are not the pious, unless they are lovers of God.


This is not just for Christians but for all. The Nearer the Temple The Farther From Buddha or the Nearer the Mosque The Farther From Allah. The prophet Mohammad PBUH says, “"Worship your Lord as if you see him during worship, and if you cannot do that, then worship as if He sees you " In both conditions, the world doesn't come in one's mind. If one cannot take one condition, then, it is like The Nearer the Church the Farther From God.


All the mystics, Sufi and pious people of the world have given value to love. They believe if God is not present in one's heart, and prays days and nights; one is an infidel. As Maruf Kerkhi PBUH says, “If you pray and World comes in your mind, then, you prostrate to world.”


If winter comes, can spring be far behind?


Birds get frozen; flowers get withered, from a pebble of earth to the star of sky all get silenced. It is the time when winter jumps in. Torments, tensions, tragedies, tortures come up when west wind of winter blows. Winter is the time of sweet sorrowfulness and dangerous difficulties. However, when spring comes it brings gala days; birds fly up, and flowers get bloomed. Oh! Spring, you are a hope in calamities of life. Winter is the symbol of destruction and bareness whereas spring is the symbol of hope and fruitfulness.

Around 250 thousand years ago a winter in Rome went on, in which slaves were smashed and slaughtered. Cruelty and ignorance were at peaks. At that time, a man of might and words stood like an insurmountable mountain and fought against Roman Republic for slaves. That man was Spartacus. He had almost perished the Government, but he was chopped in Third Servile War. And, when he was martyred he said these words. "I will come again, not alone, but with millions." And, yes, he came again with spring in Rome and, which perished the winter of that time.

The winter of crises, problems and destruction has charged our country Pakistan. It has brought many critical circumstances which have taken lives of thousands. But hopeful spring is behind and clouds of happiness are forecast which will bring pleasures and prosperity in Pakistan. Moulana Jalal Din Rumi says, "Don't grieve, whatever you lose comes in another form." So, one should push the winter out, and make outlets for spring to come in. And, upcoming spring will be joyous and peaceful. If winter has come, Indeed, spring is behind.

Winter snatches green leaves of trees, smashes colours of butterflies, slaughter blooming flowers. But, when everything is lost there hope dwells and that is the spring, which has to come anyhow after winter and that is the cycle of life.
'Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.'

Sweet are the uses of adversity


Adversity can be defined as misery, affliction, tragedy, hardship, difficulty and any unfavorable or critical situation of life. Adversity by nature is a great teacher. He who faces it enhances real experience of life and gets its zesty taste. There is mystery in misery which hides real lessons behind its thick curtains. A ship of life which sails smoothly in hardships, reaches the shore of success. He gets rubies who dives into depth of sea. Indeed, who is difficult for difficulties gets its unlimited uses and everlasting lessons.

Thomas Edison was a newspaper seller and he was afraid of dark. He wanted to invent a bulb for his night phobia and for world. He tried almost one thousand times to invent a light bulb but remained unsuccessful. He did not give up and surrender; his all tries were unsuccessful except one. Each try gave him strength and curiosity. His labor bore fruit; his struggle made him succeed and took him towards peaks of victories. When he was asked about his failures, he replied: "I didn't fail 1,000 times. I found 1,000 ways how not to create a light bulb." Indeed, Thomas Edison got sweet uses of adversity and success.

Undoubtedly, difficulties teach us the things which none can teach in this world. They make us aware, experienced, passionate, strong and humanitarian. Life is a process of learning and one learns a lot from hardships. Difficulty is the basic and fundamental part of experience. One should take and face difficulty as a black cloud of rain, which rains extremely but fertilizes all barren grounds.

An empty vessel makes much noise.


A pitcher which is empty makes loud noise and a pitcher which is full of water makes little noise. One can know by this example that a person who possesses little knowledge, makes loud noise and boasts about bushes. Whereas, the person who has deep knowledge remains silent and talks little. The deeper the ocean the more silent it will be.

God likes those people who are gold but call themselves copper coins. Having everything, they spend their lives like a common man. All messengers, prophets, sufis, dervishes and pious people had great knowledge but they never became empty vessels. They spent their lives with simplicity.

It is truely said that little knowledge is dangerous. Those people who have little knowledge, they try to be philosophers and scholars. They remain empty inside like drums. When they are hit, they make cracking sound. They do not look before they leap and they get little respect in their surroundings. A person who has deep knowledge speaks little and is respected by everyone. Indeed, brevity is the soul of wit.

All the philosophers and scholars talked rarely about their deep knowledge. Those who know do not tell and those who tell do not know. A person must not be like empty vessel. He should have deep and profound knowledge because those who speak much about the subject having little knowledge are not liked.


Where ignorance is bliss, it is folly to be wise.

The world is deep and dark ditch of ignorance. Where ignorance is known as a blessing, it is better to be silent there. Because, closed mouth catches no fly. One must be silent in the party of illiterates and must not show one’s wisdom where it is not appreciable otherwise it will be known as ignorance.

Ibne Rushd, a great scholar, philosopher and astronomer was killed by the people of that time. He was naked and tied outside of the mosque. They stoned and spitted over him in a cold and shivering night. His only sin was; He spoke about stars, philosophy and metaphysics in the town of uneducated people where ignorance was blessing.

Galileo, the great Scientist was house-arrested because he said that Sun does not move around the earth and other planets but Earth moves around the sun. They couldn’t tolerate it .Sun moves around the earth was in their believes. He was threatened to take his words back or he would be killed. Consequently, he took his words back. He had talked wisely among the narrow-minded people.

If one speaks above than the level of one's mind, one will be known as mad and if one speaks lesser than the level of one’s mind, one will be known as fool. It is better to speak according to the level of one's mind. And, being wise in fool's paradise is like to hammer one's own leg.


The violence of war can be diluted with love (Expansion of 2011)


When there was no time, cause, season, theory and reason, there was existence of love which is the most powerful and beyond everything. Human is pack of feelings; hatred begets war and war is consumed by love. Love is the most insurmountable emotion which has done miracles since time. It has brought wars into peace and hatred into affection. Indeed, violence of war can be diluted with love.

When Arab tribes were spreading violence of wars, hatred and aggregation were giving outlets to the fire of war. There, Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) with whiff of love extinguished war’s fire. He brought flow of love and brotherhood in the heart of every Arabain which wiped all hatred and brought sympathy. War was weakened by eternal force of love and war was blown away; like a rotten leaf is flown away by tempest.

As water extinguishes fire, similarly love parishes war. When war stands with war, then violence reaches its peaks. Two same sides of magnet always repel each other and make distance. So, a war is not solution for war rather a problem in itself. One has to change one’s side to attract each other and that side is of love. As universal saying is, “Love begets love.”

Love and humanity is essence of all religions of the world. Religion is solution for entire human-kind and soul of religion is love. Love breaks walls of hatred and brings ever flowing peace. It eradicates all differences. Violence of war was always conquered by love; it is being conquered and will be conquered. As Virgil said, "Love conquers all."

A Thing of beauty is joy forever


Beauty is the greatest and the vastest source of joy in this cosmic universe. Each particle in this beautiful and soulful world has essence of beauty _beauty is the parent of joy. It is insurmountable, it roots out grieves and gloom from one's heart, gives blooming joy and takes to the gala and soulful world. It is infinite blessing of GOD which is worthy of admiration and sweetest source of joy.



Beauty is untiring attraction for artists like the infinite gravitation of black holes. Sculptures depict the nature, make idols and whiff the soul of beauty in it. Poets hug beauty of universe and give breath of beauty in their words. Flute man with his flute sings language of soul with essence of beauty. Singers take voice of heavens and sing among souls and angles. And, painter with his colors makes the beauty infinite. Work of artist is essence of beauty _where there is existence of art there is presence of beauty and where is presence of beauty there is essence of joy.



World is poured with purest beauty which makes eyes behold it forever, makes tongue sing songs of praise for it. Compels hands to compose poems for it, makes brains to be in its fantasy, Pulls feet to move towards it, makes body worship and makes soul the lover of it. Sky, moon, stars, tress, birds and seasons how beautiful they are! They are real soul of joy _an infinite joy. He who beholds its beauty a moment that moment becomes eternal joy for him which flows in soul like a river.


Nature is full with beauty from a star to a flower there are thousands sources of beauty and each source becomes the eternal joy for man. Beauty of nature in first espy gives sweetest smile to the soul. A smile of beauty changes the lives. Indeed, Thing of beauty is joy forever.

"Beauty is truth and truth beauty." John Keats


It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.


The proverb means very need of things, makes life impossible. One who has nothing cannot stand upright in the way of survival. Empty clouds never rain. A man with might, knowledge, perfect character and passion stands upright in life. He stands up in front of every misfortune and mishap. He is like a fulfilled bag that has strength to stand upright. A man who is uneducated, poor, passionless and materialistic cannot give something out of his life. Can an empty bag give something out?

Man like Che Guevara whose bag of life is full with passion, struggle, education, dare and emotions he stands up in life without any shoulder or support. He stands not just for himself, but he stands also for others. He tries to give others their rights and like a true man, he never lets injustice and inequality take place. He leaves a fine character in history of mankind. He becomes like a fruitful tree which stands upright and gives fruit to everyone. Unquestionably, it happens when a tree bears and struggles in very hours of life.

Those men who have nothing in their lives, they always need support or shoulder to stand. They live on others food. Their lives are hand to mouth. They remain homeless and helpless because they have nothing in the bag of life which can stand upright. They crawl on earth and forget that they have wings to use or they know not the skill of flying towards success. Those men are like a stick which cannot stand up without any support.

Alama IQbal says; “If there were no compulsion in life, every one would be a God. “ So, compulsion is part of life. One whose bag of life is empty should be optimistic and struggler and start to fill the bag of life while burning candles of nights. Undoubtedly, every drop makes an ocean. So, one should struggle with passion. An ant can kill an Elephant. So, Nothing is impossible for insurmountable. Indeed, that flower is the most beautiful which smiles in adversity.

Brevity is the soul of wit.

Expressing oneself in an accurate and compressed way is known as brevity. Naturally, as fragrance is the essence of flower so brevity is the soul of wit. When a wise speaks; he speaks splendidly. His a few words possess pregnant meaning in them. Fool talks with verbosity and his barrage of words weigh little meaning. Indeed, the heart of wisdom is brevity.

Brevity is the art, which wise has. All the philosophers, scholars and wise people use a few words appositely which carry the vast meaning. Like Moulana Jalal Din Rumi says, "Don't Grieve, whatever you loose comes in another form." How beautifully these words carry example about hope and life!

Bacon, the essayist, who is known as master of brevity wrote accurate words at exact place in his Essays and his Essays are read and studied globally. Because of beauty of brevity in bacon's Essays, he is eminent in the world of expressions.

People who make chains of phrases and if one talks about chalk to them, they talk about cheese. These people bore the listener. One must use brevity in one’s expressions and indeed, Brevity is the symbol of wisdom.


The Crown and Glory of life is character

Character is the most precious and the most inestimable Kohinoor of human's treasure. Wealth, property, lands and reputation are fog and mirage. Character is identification of man and without identification life is worthless. The only thing in world which can make one alive even after death is character and identification. Undoubtedly, death is not end of life but identification is last of life.

On Doom's day, man will not be known by his wealth and reputation but by his character. Wealth has wings, it can fly back to you but character is without wings if once it is flown it never comes back. One has to be man of character, not man of wealth. Indeed, only character is philosopher's stone.

Character is the thing which distinguishes a human from a beast. One whose actions and reactions become like animal one is counted among wild beasts. Our Prophet Mohammad PBUH says; " He whose character resembles a beast he is beast." The Prophets, Messengers, Sufies and Saints have ever given value to character; they have emphasized life full of character. It is not about only wearing but what one thinks, dreams. talks, acts, reacts and beholds. Every atom and particle of man's existence is part of his character.

A famous saying of all time is, "If wealth is lost, nothing is lost. If health is lost, something is lost. But, if character is lost, everything is lost." life is long process, full of experiments and experiences, in which reputation is a shadow and character is reality and fact. The man of world is not he who has stock of wealth and fine health but he is great who has finest character. Character is a faithful flight which takes one from earth to skies. One should live with quite good character because the crown and glory of life is character.


Show me a hero and I will write you a tragedy




Where ever the Hero is; Tragedies reside within him. To be Hero, one has to smash mountains, cross fires, pass by tensions, torments, tortures and tragedies of transient world. Those became Heroes who fought till their last breath and their lives had become nevertheless a tragedy.


The Great Fighter, Spartacus. His Life was Full of tragedies. Writer, Howard Fast, has written a wonderful novel on him. Spartacus was a slave, he was tortured, beaten and smashed. Then, he become rebellion, he started to fight against Rome for the slaves and poor of the world. He had almost crashed the army of Room with the help of thousands of slaves. But, Alas! His friends died along with his good friend Kirasis. And, he too was killed and chopped into pieces. Thousand slaves were hanged on crosses. Spartacus is the Hero of every time with a life full of Tragedies. Where ever the slaves are beaten, tortured and punished; There the name of Spartacus Blooms up.


Horace Walpole said, "The world is a comedy to those that think; a tragedy to those that feel." Indeed, heroes feel the life. But, they fight being optimist. If there were no tragedy with them, they would be like common man. fitzgerald has rightly said, "Show me a hero and i will write you a tragedy."


Poverty is the parent of revolution and crime.

Tensions, tortures, tragedies and torments enter the house where poverty lives in. Poverty shakes the soul of survival. It compels him to revolutionize and commit crime. Poverty makes man rebellion and criminal. The earth, which remains silent for years, bursts up with burning and boiling volcano. In the very way, man who tolerates and bears, breaks the ice and starts being rebellion and criminal with the passage of time.

A poor man takes gun, sometimes for the milk and food of his family, sometimes for the marriage of his sister or daughter, sometimes for the funeral ceremonies of his relative and sometimes being compelled by inflation. No man comes into world being a criminal. It is what poverty makes him. The crime which is increasing day by day into Pakistan is only because of poverty. Poverty is directly proportional to crime.

2500 years ago, a revolution went into Rome, Brought by the Fighter Spartacus and had almost reached to Parish and crash the Rome. That time, only a few people were rich and had all money. Others were the poor and slaves. Their women were sold, raped and tortured. Men were enslaved and huntered by Rich people. Poverty had killed the thousands and a giant revolution came into Rome. Poverty was the father of revolution in Rome.


Gandhi said, "To a man with an empty stomach food is God." Man can do all for his empty stomach. Pakistan should focus over the root cause of crime and revolution. They would know come to know that it is poverty. Every man should be given equal rights and property.
“When I give food to the poor, they call me a saint. When I ask why the poor have no food, they call me a communist.”



Helping Hands are better than praying lips


When one helps any breath breathing life, God pleases with him. There are thousands ways of pleasing God, help and love are one of them which are superior. If one leaves one’s prayer for saving any one’s life that Man becomes more valuable in front of Almighty Allah. When one helps any one and does not see whether one is Zen, Hindu, Buddhist, Muslim, Jewish, Shaman, or Christian then one comes closer to God Almighty. Seeing every one as equal that is quality of God and God likes it.





Prophet Mohammad PBUH says in Sahi Bukhary: A prostitute was forgiven by Allah, because she was walking through well and saw a panting and thirsty dog that was going to die of thirst. She put off her shoe and got some water in it for dog and that dog was watered and saved by her. This tale truly speaks about helping. Allah is very kind and merciful to those who are helpful to others. Dozens of cases are in history about those who become friends of God by helping.



God loves him who helps and loves human-kind. Nature of nature is to love and help. He who loved and helped humankind became Jesus, David, Joseph, Moses, Ram, Buddha, Abou Bin Adhem and Rumi. One who helps without ill intention and any expectation gets awards of years of worship. Satan is known best and great worshiper of God but he has label of curse because he had not helping hands and loving heart but praying lips and indeed, helping hands are better than praying lips.


Call no Man Happy till he is Dead.

Until and Unless, man lives in this materialistic and greedy world, he cannot be Happy. Man is shackled and chained in this magical world. Adam and eve were thrown on earth for punishment. Earth was considered a jail for them. So, how can a man live happily in a jail? Man can be happy when he is freed of the shackles.

Change is constant. If spring comes; flowers bloom up. When autumn enters, flowers wither. A man cannot be happy, even if he has health, wealth and all luxuries of life. In the book, Prince of Abyssinia, by Samuel Johnson. Rasselas, the prince, had everything of world. But, he could not live happily in his palace. He left his palace and tried to find and explore happiness in world. And, He could find nowhere.

Man lives, expects, desires, feels panic and tragedies, never lives happily. Life is nevertheless a tragedy. Hazrat ALi A.S said, "Oh! World, I have divorced you for three times." Until and unless, man desires, he cannot be happy. It can only be expected by a Dead Man. He cannot desire, feel pain and response who is dead.

Rousseau said, "Man is born free and everywhere he is in chains." Man can not live in gala days because he is chained with chains of responsibilities, expectations, dreams, fears, taxes and desires. Everyman in this world is unhappy unless he dies. That is the only way to break the shackles of mortal and materialistic world.


Make hay while sun shines.

Every work suits at its accurate time. One should hit the iron when it is hot. In Pakistan, Farmer sows seeds of wheat in the month of November and harvests in the Month of June or March. Every crop has its particular season. So, every work has its own. If one hastes or delays, loses the chance and time. Once, time is lost, it never comes back.

In winters, the birds come from North to spend time in different wetlands and deserts of Pakistan. These birds start flying on this way in month of November. February is the high time and by march they start flying back home, towards their native habitats. It shows their Particular timing. Indeed, Nature follows the time.

Farmer makes its hay while the sun shines. If he doesn't do so, his cattle shall starve and die of hunger. And, he shall regret his delay and idleness. On the contrary, if business man doesn't sell his stock in particular timing and season, he will be lost and will face disadvantages. As Golda Meir says, "I must govern the clock, not be governed by it."

Pakistan is going through critical crises. It is because people of Pakistan didn't make their hay when the Sun was shining. One knows worth of water when well is dry. Day follows day. New sun is arising. Pakistan should make its hay. Otherwise, lost time never comes and History loves to repeat itself.




Hope is way of life

Life is ground of difficulties and defeats; garden of blessings and beauties. One falls and stands again, the source which makes one stand is HOPE. Ant falls dozens of times while climbing up the wall, but after every fall, hope makes it go upward. Hope is the essence of life. It sustains the existence. Where every thing is lost there dwells hope. On every step of life's stairs, there is a carpet of hope and hope is way of life.

Philistine, Kashmir and Iraq _people of these countries are living in the valley of deaths but there is a hope in everyone's heart which makes them strike for peace and freedom. They live in tortures, tragedies, tensions and torments but sun of hope rises over them and gives strength to fight. Surely, where there is no way hope makes outlet there.

If we peep into history, we find that those who had hope were heroes.. They did all with hope, even after each mishap and misfortune, they won. As Gandhi said, "First they will ignore you, then they will laugh at you, then they will fight you and then you will win.” The great scientist, Thomas Edison, stood insurmountable to make Electric Bulb. He tried for thousand times and, he did it . He fought, struggled and did what he wanted. It is all because Hope shouldered him in all hurdles and pessimistic ideas .

Allah says “Hopelessness is infidelity.” Surely, without hope life becomes worthless. Hope is single way which changes one's world. Disappointment is not way of life but its step unto absurdity. One must be optimist and live with power of hope.

Very well-written and organized but try to start the introductory paragraph with simple words enclosing the very meanings of the given phrase. For example, you may write

"This proverb actually implicates that those who are most tangled in any religious system, its organizers and high priests, are in danger of separating themselves from God. Put another way, it advocates that those most closely involved in the organization of the church are least likely to be truly religious, as they tend to become more interested in the organization than in Godly living. Therefore, it might be a warning about placing too much importance on material buildings, and a reminder that God is everywhere."

After that you can place your arguments that love is more essential than worship to be in close contact to God and everything else you discussed in your expansion. Moreover, In Islam worship is one aspect of Iman, called Rights of Allah, there is an other aspect known as Rights of People .... and Allah has stressed that he can forgive his rights but not the rights of people. In this context

"Allama Jazaeri quotes a tradition in his book that if a person owes someone even one dirham and returns it back to its owner, this act of his is greater than worship of one thousand years, freeing one thousand slaves in the way of Allah, and performing one thousand Hajj and Umrah."

Thanks. Thanks for your appreciation and I second you. It is indeed good thing to hit the bull's eye in very first lines. Sometimes, I catch reader's attention and start with literary tinge, and in end, I define the topic or make reader know what I want to say. Well, Hats Off.

THE ROAD TO HAPPINESS IS ALWAYS UNDER CONSTRUCTION

If happiness were created through money and luxuries, rich men would have never been gloomy and sad. Smiles are never permanent. Flowers bloom in the spring and get gloom in the autumn. None can avoid these two seasons of the universe. Undoubtedly, route of happiness gets never completed; it is always under construction.

In the book, Prince of Abyssinia, by Samuel Johnson. Rasselas, the prince, had everything of world. But, he could not live happily in his palace. He left his palace and looked for happiness in the world. And, naturally, he could find it nowhere. Likewise; one cannot have long-lasting happiness and merriments. As Spanish proverb states , "There is no happiness, there are only moments of happiness"

Everyone wants and looks for happiness however happiness is not an apple which falls itself or one easily plucks it off. It is a road which is rocky, rigid, dried and thorny. One has to stand insurmountable and work hard to across it but shall find himself frequently unhappy on the road unto happiness. As an olden proverb is, “Call no Man Happy till he is Dead.” Indeed, man lives, expects, desires, feels panic and never lives permanently a happy life.

One must try to do those works which provide smiles to one's soul. The works which are for betterment of humankind. Every individual should strive to help in constructing the road to happiness. This process of constructing shall go on until and unless there is life on earth.

tell me my mistakes in this one..

WHEN FLATTERERS GET TOGETHER, THE DEVIL GOES TO DINNER.

The axiom alludes towards the evil,deceitful nature of flatterers who inflate the ego of their opponents and indulge them into vanities thus fulfilling the duties of Satan by themselves and rendering his presence needless.perhaps this is why it is considered as one of the most disgraceful of human acts.
The repercussions of such duplicity are two-pronged.Not only it makes a person delusional and causes him to put on airs but also, it propounds pretentiousness in society and impairs the rationality of people.Thus, inducing moral,intellectual degeneration of society which eventually causes downfall of Nations.The pages of history are redundant with such examples: It was Raja Dahir, the ruler of Sindh in 712 AD, who lent ear to his unwise and flatterer courtiers.Due to those wicked aides, Raja confronted bin Qasim in open field rather than in a fort which costed him his life.
The Mughal courts always remained flooded with orators and poets who used to praise the king by their enchanting poems.The ministers became so morally corrupt that instead of attending to the affairs of the state, they competed with each other just to get in the good books of the ruler,using the same methodology,flattery. Evidently these fallacies led to the downfall of Mughal empire.
The wise men have always advised people to prevent themselves from such praising fellows.They are actually the enemy of man disguised as well wishers.One should be utterly careful of the deceivers as they truly are the assistants of Lucifer.

can the senior members please tell me what is the ideal way to start off an expansion?quote?definition or literary words? and i joined kips last year where they said that expansion should be in a single paragraph and not into subparagraphs as then their remains little difference between an essay and expansion? could someone throw some light on the issue?

Directly, hit the bull's eye, define the idea in very first lines and convey its meaning in a clear and simple way.

You can write expansion in one paragraph or more than one; it is up to you how you write. It doesn't matter, expansion of an Idea should be better.

You can look at expansions of Prof: Muzafar Bukhari, he uses one and more than one paragraphs for expansions.

great effort... Kindly share comprehensive note A contented mind is a blessing kind.

We are all inclined to judge ourselves by our ideals, others by their act.
A quit normal trend is seen in human society that we are biased for ourselves but good critic for others. We do not want to see others in the same canvas that we set for ourselves. Things which get green signals for us, usually we do not allow these for others. That is a real kind of dilemma of our society. Hence, it results in the emergence of social differences and apathy among the people. If we want to achieve something we try to get it by hook and crook and can go to any extent to accomplish our desires. In this struggle, some limits could be crossed by us but we do not care about it because we have our destination now. However, when the same act is done by someone else, we characterize them under social values and tag them as good and bad. We often forget that back in our life we have done the same thing. This is human psyche. He does not make himself to stand in the same court. We always think that we are right and rest of the world is wrong. This shows repercussions like aversion and hate among the people of a society. Therefore, it could be concluded that if we want to see heaven on earth and want people to understand each other’s problems, we have to set same standards for others as we do for ourselves. (251)

i believe in Allah and he is the mere one who can help me...

I have tried to find mistakes in your expansion on "The nearer the Church the farher from God"

Hundreds years of worship are useless without true love. Those who live days and nights in churches, and world dwells in their hearts (but world dwells in their hearts); God is very far away from them. The only bond which makes bondage(which makes strong connection) between God and Man of God is love (is devotion to God and many other words can be used at this place instead of repeating love). Worship goes futile without love. Those who live in churches, temples and mosques, and love for God is not in their hearts, God is farther from them.(Repitition)

When there was no time, cause, season, theory and reason, there was an existence of love. This entire cosmos is created for love. God is lover, and He loves the lovers not worshipers. The Satan is known (was known would be better)as the greatest worshiper of God but God is (was)farther from him. Because, Satan is (was a)worshiper not lover. Moulana Jalal Din Rumi says, “Without love, all worship is a burden.” Indeed, those who live in the place of worship, they are not the pious, unless they are lovers of God.


This is not just for Christians but for all. The Nearer the Temple The Farther From Buddha or the Nearer the Mosque The Farther From Allah. The prophet Mohammad PBUH says, “"Worship your Lord as if you see him during worship, and if you cannot do that, then worship as if He sees you " In both conditions, the world doesn't come in one's mind. If one cannot take one condition, then, it is like The Nearer the Church the Farther From God.


All the mystics, Sufi and pious people of the world have given value to love. They believe if God is not present in one's heart, and prays days and nights; one is an infidel. As Maruf Kerkhi PBUH says, “If you pray and World comes in your mind, then, you prostrate to world.”
