You yourself are your own obstacle - rise above yourself.

As the bee-injuring not
The flower, its colour, or scent-
Flies away, taking the nectar;
So let the wise man dwell upon the earth. - Gautama, the Buddha

Jo hanste the us roz hum par
woh aaj rote hain
maula tere khel anokhe hain..

I have again and again grown like grass.
I have experienced seven hundred and seventy moulds.
I died from minerality and become vegetable;
…And from vegetative-ness I died and become animal.
I died from animality and became man.

Then why fear disappearance through death?
Next time I shall die,
Bring forth wings and feathers like angels.
After that soaring higher than angels-
What you cannot imagine,
I shall be that. - Jalal ad-Din Muhammad Rumi

Girte rahe sajdo'n mein hum apni hi hasraton ki khatir
ishq -e- khuda mein gire hote to koi hasrat baaki na rehti..

Like smoke I vanish though I burn like flame,
I flicker in the gusts of wrong and right
A shining frailty in the guise of might;
Before a nothing and behind a name.

- W. H. Mdloch
