The Speaking Tree

Politico-spiritual Rendezvous

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I Times of India I 29th October  | 2011 | Page 18

Rudyard Kipling once said, "East is East and West is West, and never the twain shall meet." This maxim has been proved untrue as far as the West and the East equation is concerned, but of spirituality and politics, this undoubtedly holds true.

The tree's eloquent silence

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I Times of India I 7th October  | 2011 | Page 18

In front of my house in New Delhi there is a full-grown tree, in whose shade I am in the habit of sitting. I call it my spiritual tree. In fact, this tree is my teacher, although a silent one. The previous summer, this tree, like many other trees, shed its green leaves. Gradually, it became simply like dry wood.

How to eradicate corruption

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I Times of India I September 16th, 2011 | Page 18

Eid, a social tradition

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan I Times of India I August 31st, 2011 | Page 16

Socialisation is the need of every society, promoting as it does harmony and mutual understanding. It is required for a healthy social life, as it encourages people to live as a cohesive group. There are several ways of engaging in such social behaviour. One effective way is through festivals, especially of the religious kind.
