Chapter 48
Phoenix
In The Message of the East, Iqbal mentioned that Nature was building in the depths of life a new type of human being and a new world for them to live in. That world might be coming into being now, according to Khizr.
“Samandar needs its own ashes in order to regenerate,” he goes on to say. “Today you will see an age-beaten world born again after dying. See how strategies fail in the face of destiny!”
Samandar is the equivalent of Phoenix in Arab folklore. It is an insect that burns itself every 500 years and is reborn from the ashes. According to Khizr, a similar thing is going to happen before the night ends.
