The search for truth takes time

Maulana Wahiduddin Khan | The Sunday Guardian | April 17, 2016, p. 12

To believe in God is to see the invisible force behind visible objects. It is to see through superficial irrelevancies to the ultimate reality that lies hidden in all things. It is to acknowledge that all things come from God. It is to see God as the Supreme Being that He truly is.

A true believer is never enamoured of the external splendour of worldly things. He is not overawed by material grandeur, for he knows that it, like himself, is the creation of God.

The goal should always be in sight

When the first manned flight took place on 17 December 1903, lasting 12 seconds and covering 120 feet, only five of all innumerable newspapers in America thought the news fit to publish. The rest dismissed it as some kind of hoax. This was because the two brothers, Orville and Wilbur Wright, who had successfully got their ‘heavier-than-air’ aircraft off the ground, had carried out their experiments in complete privacy, with no glare of publicity for their attempts.
