Pasti
Lowness, decline, degradation, lowliness.
Literally: lowness, baseness, a sunken and degraded state
Pasti is lowness — the fallen, base condition of a soul or people sunk in degradation and small aims. Iqbal uses it as the foil to all he prizes: where himmat soars, pasti grovels; where khudi affirms itself, pasti has surrendered. He laments this inner lowness as the real disease behind subjugation, and calls the self to rise from it toward height, dignity, and daring.
