[nukkad] FAITH AND MATERIAL ENDEAVOUR

[":\) Ameer ~* 'Ali" <1>]

----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have learnt silence from the talkative, toleration from the intolerant, 
and kindness from the unkind; yet strange, I am ungrateful to these teachers. 
-Kahlil Gibran, mystic, poet and artist (1883-1931)

FROM a speech 

at a luncheon hosted by 
the Federation of Indian Chamber of Commerce in New Delhi. 

"..man must not shy away from the material endeavour 
in the name of his faith. 
On the contrary, he must be enterprising, 
contributing of his best to his family and 
the society in which he lives, 
so long as the content of his endeavour is 
within the terms of our social and moral conscience and 
so long as the objectives of the enterprise are equally acceptable."
