Elevate your self-respect and status so high that before every destiny, God Himself asks the servant, 'Tell me, what is your will?'

This magnificent couplet is a powerful testament to the concept of 'Khudi'—the self, the ego, or self-respect. Allama Iqbal isn't just speaking of physical strength; he is guiding us to elevate our inner self so profoundly that our self-worth becomes undeniable. The message is that when you build a strong, confident inner spirit, you reach a point where even destiny must acknowledge you, and ultimately, you stand before the Divine, possessing the authority to speak your own truth. It is a call to self-mastery and spiritual awakening.
