“The reason is, our mind is limited and we have installed so much of unnecessary data in it. There is so much that we have to unlearn. The moment the unwanted data gets erased, you can fill what is required and important. And trust me, you can’t keep the mind empty. It gets filled with or without your permission; all you need to do is filter it.”
Zeeshan Najafi, Wisely Stupid
“It’s the difficultly and the challenging aspects of the test which make it valid and fair. The more difficult the test is, the more value it has. Do you think an easy test will have any value? Imagine a student who is attending his important exam and that turns out to be a piece of cake, when it was supposed to be a difficult one. Don’t you think that will turn out to be a joke? “And actually, wise people, who are serious about their lives, always appreciate tests and they will handle them wisely, and they will never complain on being tested.”
Zeeshan Najafi, Wisely Stupid

“Have you ever noticed that when we look at the sea, we turn our backs to the world? No doubt there is so much to see on land but when we look at the sea, we shed all the materialism that we carry. What I mean is, we face the sea by turning our backs to the land.”
Zeeshan Najafi, Wisely Stupid

“Your cure is within you, but you do not know, Your illness is from you, but you do not see. You are the ‘Clarifying Book’ Through whose letters manifest the hidden. You suppose that you’re a small body, But the greatest world unfolds within you. You would not need what is outside of yourself, If you would reflect upon self, but you do not reflect.”
Zeeshan Najafi, Wisely Stupid

“A man was running for his life, being chased by a furious lion in a jungle. While he was running, he suddenly noticed a well and without a second thought, he immediately jumped into it to save his life. Before he could land inside, he saw a python inside the well and it looked like it was waiting for him. He then held a rope which was hanging. The man felt safe holding the rope and he thought it saved him. But the lion was looking into the well from the top. Shortly after he held the rope, two mice (one was white and another one was black) crawled up on the rope and started nibbling on it. The rope weakened in a moment, while the python and lion were waiting for him desperately. In between all this, he saw a honeycomb and he couldn’t resist. He stuck his finger into it and started tasting the honey in spite of all the dangers that surrounded him. “Now, reflect on the story by keeping these things in your mind. The lion was his death which chases a man constantly. The python was his grave which was waiting for him. The rope was his life which he tried to hold on to and finally the black and white mice were his days and nights which were nibbling at the duration of his life. With all these troubles around, due to his heedlessness the man still wanted to enjoy and that’s why he started licking the honey.”

“Whatever happened with me today has had a profound reason, and it was not just an accident. They say, “Any day above the ground is a blessing.” I think this statement has to be rephrased as “any unblessed day on the ground is not a day.” How long should I pretend to be happy? How long should I await for the silver lining to emerge out of the dense clouds?”

“So what do you think I should do when I get bored?” I asked. “Think something intellectually and if you can’t, read something which attracts your intelligence. And yes, read only when you run out of thoughts and stay away from the ignorant. Isolation and loneliness are better than the company of the ignorant.”
Zeeshan Najafi, Wisely Stupid
“An ignorant is the one who hurts you when you accompany him and insults you when you leave him. He will trap you with his favours if he gives you something, and will show ingratitude if you give him something. He will certainly betray you if you share your secret. He becomes ungrateful and arrogant if he’s rich, and he will blame God when he is poor. He exceeds his limits when he’s happy, and gives up when he’s sad. He will praise you excessively if you please him, and he will withdraw the praise if you don’t.”
