Naasoot

नासूत
said naa-soot
also written: Nasut
Meaning

The realm of human, physical existence; the lowest plane of the Sufi cosmology.

Usage & notes

Naasoot is the material world of forms and bodies, the stage of human striving. Far from despising it, Iqbal insists this earthly realm is where the self is forged and the divine purpose worked out.
