(If) You’re not in touch with your human essence in its purity, you will not go far.
The only life that can go far is the original human nature. America has built its whole society on the recognition of what I’m telling you right now.
"We hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal and endowed with certain inalienable rights."
So they are talking about the soul and it says that government cannot give you this and government can’t take it away.
That is the wisdom of the founding fathers and they perceive the human nature being the basis of life for human beings and that is the life that they have to base the rights available to citizens on.
The rights available to citizens are based upon your right to that life.
And that’s the life that wants to pursue happiness.
That’s the life that wants to have dignity and respect in the world.
(If) You lose that, (then) you don’t want much.
- Imam W. Deen Mohammed :Speeches to the Men and Women of The American Society of Muslims – 3/8/2003
