He taught the angels the yearning of Adam, and Adam teaches the manners of divine love.

This profound couplet speaks to the divine education of humanity. Allama Iqbal suggests that the Creator not only taught the angels the deep, yearning nature of Adam—the human soul's longing—but also continuously guides Adam in the etiquette and manners (Adab-e-Khudawandi) required to approach God. It’s a reminder that our deepest struggles and our highest spiritual manners are both gifts from the Divine.
