While going through some photos at my Flickr website,I discovered this photo I took more than two years ago after attending a lecture by Prof Dr Syed Naguib al-Attas.On the invitation of Prof Dr Wan Mohd Nor,I took a lot of courage to sit on the same table with one of the great contemporary muslim thinker and scholar for coffee after the lecture.
While we were having chats,one attendee came and sought some answers from the great professor.Just look at the photo I snapped and see the intimate relationship between the teacher and the student.This kind of personal touch meant a lot to me.The Malay phrase of 'anak murid' is full of meaning!
Talking about meaning,the professor said that knowledge only comes with the arrival of meaning or the meaning arrives at the soul.
