Alamdar-E-Kashmir (Flag-Bearer Of Kashmir

English book, p. 235

By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan

He also said: “If there are forests, there will be grain.” On one level, this highlights the ecological truth—forests bring rain, and rain helps crops grow. On a deeper level, it conveys a moral message: in this world, cooperation is essential. Without mutual support, no constructive result can be achieved. His sayings, originally in the Kashmiri language, are filled with spiritual wisdom and human values. Here are a few translations: • Kaam (desire), krodh (anger), lobh (greed), moh (attachment), and ahankaar (ego)—These are enough to send a person to Hell. • Decorating the body does not remove the dirt of the heart. • Children of the same parents should hold on to the rope of God—whether Muslim or Hindu. God’s mercy is equal for both. All India Radio, New Delhi, on 25 May 1995. ALAMDAR-E-KASHMIR (FLAG-BEARER OF KASHMIR)
