ANOTHER DAY! HOW WONDERFUL

English book, PDF p. 84

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

Another Day! How Wonderful ~ 84 ~ ANOTHER DAY! HOW WONDERFUL “When you wake up in the morning, jump out of bed and shout, ‘Great! Another Day!’ you are success.” This was a view expressed by a prominent businessman, but it could very well be the scholar, the sage, the ascetic, depending upon how you interpret success. Anyone, in fact, who regards the new day with such optimism is surely wellequipped, mentally and emotionally, to tackle whatever life has in store for him. But, whether we regard the appearance of the new day as one more joyful occasion for work or not, can we honestly say that we have ever stopped to ponder over the miraculous aspect of day following night, for all eternity, as a result of the earth rotating on its axis and of the sun’s never ceasing to flood with lifegiving light our ever-changing hemisphere? Have we ever thought of this alternation of day and night as a totally unique occurrence, and of this all being part of the divine pattern which produces such advantageous conditions for human existence? Nowhere in the universe, in fact, are there prime conditions such as we have on earth for the emergence and development of life as we know it.
