When
we study ourselves we say that we have a limited and mortal body, and this is
the only identification of our life. This body, which is visible to us, is made
of ingredients that are impurity, stench, fetidness, and rottenness. The basis
of this rottenness arises from the theory that I believe that I am matter and
that I was born of this materialistic world. This limited vision confined man
to a particular place. Every person sees himself in the knitted network of
limitations, which is how the foundation of the theory of limitation is laid
down. When anyone living on earth talks about himself or herself, he or she
says that I am a Muslim, or I am a Hindu, or Persian, or Christian. But the
spirit does not have such names. Light is just light everywhere whether it is
in Arabia, Persia, Europe, or in any part of Asia.
KHWAJA SHAMS-UD-DEEN AZEEMI
What is the universe? It is a point, and this point is a
divine light, and the divine light is itself a light.
Every point is the imprint of luminescence (Tajalli). When
this imprint transforms itself into the divine light then it becomes Aura
(Jism-e-Misali). The display of the Aura is the physical body.
The physical body is built up as a structure of bones, flesh,
and muscle. The skin is a kind of plaster and color on this building. The life
of the human being who is made up of veins, arteries, nerves, bones, and flesh,
is nothing except senses.
