Javidaani

जाविदानी
said jaa-vi-DAA-nee
also written: javedani
Meaning

Eternity, everlastingness, perpetual duration.

Literally: Persian javid (eternal) + abstract suffix: the quality of being eternal.

Usage & notes

Javidaani is eternity as a state to be attained; for Iqbal the strengthened ego can win a kind of permanence, refusing to dissolve back into the formless and so partaking of the everlasting.
