IN EACH AND EVERY DROP AN OCEAN

Wasif Ali Wasif was a remarkable man by any standard. It is not for me to enlarge upon his spiritual status or godliness. He possessed far too many qualities for any of us to fathom. One facet of his fascinating personality, however, stands out, that is, his sparkling conversation which conveyed comfort to many a mind, darkened by the stress and uncertainties of the age we live in. Perhaps the word conversation doesn’t fit the context. The translation you are about to read consists of columns published in a book entitled Qatra Qatra Qulzum. The translation was commissioned by Wasif Ali Wasif himself. This book would help him win many new admirers, both within Pakistan and abroad. His message of sanity, brotherhood, love, and compassion leaves a great deal to all of us who live in a troubled age.
