By my understanding, it literally means "awakening". I first saw the phrase in a book on Arabic poetry where it was taken to mean "the awakening of the soul." Amazingly, I can't remember a single word from the poems in the book but the title stuck to my brain. Though I'm still skeptical about te existence of the soul, I still think that this phrase has immense application to life today. Everyday we learn new stuff and go through new experiences but we, for the best part, don't take into consideration how they fit into our life in the long run. This blog will also be an attempt to chronicle the various steps I've taken in life and trying to figure how they fit in the mantle of my existence.
