Man has to
resolve this theory, somehow. the other, that this tangible universe is not a canglomeration
of material particles but merely a silhouette of the Conscious. The universe has
been stated as a compound of the four consciouses in the foregoing narration. First
Conscious has been constituted of Simple Light (Noor-e-Mufrad), the second from
the compounded Light (Noor-e-Murakab), the third is a composition of the Simple
Aura (Nasma-e-Mufrad) and the fourth one is composed of the Compounded Aura (Nasma-e-Murakab).
Only the fourth conscious is in the introduction of the people, they only know and
understand this conscious. The remaining three consciouses are beyond the comprehension
of people in general. A part from the fourth conscious the Psychologists have traced
only the third conscious so far which has been termed as the conscious by them.
But, the Holy Quran introduces us to the second and the first consciouses as well.
Therefore, we would be considering these two consciouses also as the Unconscious.
Thus, in the formation of the universe, three Unconsciouses are there. The first
Unconscious is the First Conscious, the second Unconscious is the Second Conscious
and the third Unconscious is the Third Conscious. The first of these four consciouses
is the Spacelessness and the remaining three are Space. The First Conscious has
been called ’Spacelessness’ because of its invariability.
First, we
have to understand the rotational revolution of an object of the universe and then
linear revolution.
The rotational
revolution, for instance, Of a glass goblet when watched intently Can be analyzed
in the following words.
When the
glass is sighted, six circles of descent and ascent are coverecl by the sight. The
glass makes its entry in our Senses in the form of Fantasy. Then this thought transforming
into imagination (concept) finally takes the form of feeling (senses). Then, instantly,
this feeling converts back into the imagination, the imagination into thought, the
thought again transforms into fantasy. This whole process is completed within a
split of a second and circulates repeatedly. Velocity of this circulation is so
great that every object appears to be stationary before our eyes.
Starting
from fantasy, thought, imagination, feeling — then again imagination, thought and
fantasy are the six steps of descent and ascent. These very six steps are known
as the six subtleties but from fantasy to feeling the dimensions are only four.
Out of these four dimensions or the four consciouses one is the Conscious and the
remaining three are the Unconsciouses. First of all we have to have affinity with
fantasy, then with thought and imagination. All these three states are beyond the
area of our conscious, only the fourth state which is known as Appearance is in
our introduction. The conscious pertaining to the Appearance is a collection of
the remaining three Unconsciouses. We begin our life from the First Extra-Cosmic-Conscious
which is the Invariant, that is, a fountain spouts in the Elohistic Attributes which
in its third Step becomes an individual. At its tirst Step the silhouette of the
fountain is in the form of the cosmos, at its second step it takes the form of the
silhouette of a particular species and at its third step it emerges in the form
of an individual.
In the form
of an individual a fountain of countless colors comes into being. The sequence and
arrangement of these colors is almost impossible to maintain in the feelings. This
is the reason that sometimes the senses of the fourth conscious commit so many mistakes.
This sequence is usually attempted to be maintained conjecturally but this attempt
remains unsuccessful all the same. Because of this very reason the Fourth conscious
is not considered worthy of trust by the spiritual sciences. Every particle of the
universe is linked with the mind of the individual in the Third Conscious. All the
variations that have taken place in the universe or are likely to occur remain accumulated
in the Second conscious. The silhouette of the Second conscious is the record of
the total cosmic functionalities from Eternity to Infinity. All the ingredients
that are the provenances of all the existents are found in this conscious. The most
reliable source, in spiritualism, is the First Conscious, the Holy Will of Allah
is revealed in it. The very same conscious, in Sufism, is termed as the Reality
of the facts (Haqiqat-ul-Haqaique) and the same is also called the Mohammedan Reality
(Haqiqat-e-Mohammedia). No prophet prior to the Holy Prophet of Islam (Peace and
Blessings of Allah be upon him) had commented about this conscious. Teachings of
Christ also begin from the Second Conscious. Since this conscious was explored for
the first time by the Holy Prophet Mohammed (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon
him) therefore the Sufis call it the Mohammedan Reality. Second Conscious is the
last limit of the Revelations of the Messenger Prophets and the Revelation of the
prophets is concluded at the third Conscious. Only the Holy Prophet Mohammed (Peace
and Blessings of Allah be upon him) is that Messenger Prophet whose Revelation ranges
upto the First Conscious. This is the background of the auspicious dictum of Allah,
the Most High; "If Mohammed (Peace and Blessings of Allah be upon him) was
not to be created by Me, I would not have fashioned the universe”. ' First Conscious,
in the Holy Quran, has been introduced by the name of the Knowledge of the Pen (Ilm-ul-Qalum).
KHWAJA SHAMS-UD-DEEN AZEEMI
Alshaikh Khwaja
Shamsuddin Azeemi, Chief Editor of the monthly Roohani Digest, the renowned
spiritual scholar, founder of the chain of Muraqba Halls the world over has had
the honour of learning the spiritual sciences from his spiritual mentor, His
Divine Grace Qalander Baba Auliya, the sage of this age. In order to teach him
the spiritual sciences Qalander Baba Auliya made Alshaikh Azeemi to pen down
the words that he used to narrate. Alshaikh Azeemi being a devoted disciple not
only noted the contents but also did his best to understand what he was taught.
The eventual out come of his dedicated work took the form of the ‘Loh-o-Qalum’,
the first ever book that comprises the whole syllabus of the spiritual science.
Who else was more suitable to explain the contents of this document but
Alshaikh Azeemi, the very able student of Qalander Baba Auliya. Dissemination
of that knowledge, which is the legacy of prophets and had reached him in
disciplic succession, has become an obsession for Alshaikh Azeemi because, according
to him, this knowledge is the only elixir and the antidote for the ailing
humanity in present times.
