The knowledge that draws the distinctive
line between the presented and acquired knowledge and at the same time it works
as a bridge between the two, is known as the Insinuated Knowledge (Ilm-e-Ladunni).
It comprises of those facts that could be found in the depths of the Acquired Knowledge.
The salient features of this knowledge comprise of the Elohistic Signs. The Elohistic
Signs are those signs which have been reiteratedly brought into our notice by the
Holy Quran. Actually all the physical laws follow the spiritual laws. It is customary
for the Insinuated Knowledge to trace the spiritual laws from the physical laws
and after becoming familiar with their reality have access to the Presented Knowledge.
When this knowledge is granted to the prophets it is known as the Vatic ‘Knowledge
(Ilm-e-Nabowat) and when it is granted to Auliya it is termed as the Insinuated
Knowledge (Ilm-e-Ladduni). Revelation (Wahi) is particular for the prophets and
the Inspiration (Ilham) for the Auliya:
How do the
prophets and auliya get this knowledge? Only a brief account of this thing is given
below as a detailed discussion of this topic would be out of the scope of this book.
If it will be the Holy command of Allah, its detail would be given in some other
book.
The universe is constituted by the four dimensions
or the four circles as indicated in the previous pages. But only one angle of their
properties was discussed over there. Another angle of these circles, in Sufism,
is known as:
Rah (Draught)
Rooh (Soul)
Roya (Vision - Dream)
Royat (Countenance - Appearance)
These four characteristics of this particular angle
are related with the Unconscious. Draught (Rah) is the Negative Unconscious, and
the soul (Rooh) is the Positive Unconscious. Similarly, the Vision (Rooh) is the
Negative conscious and the Countenance (Royat) is the Positive Conscious Draught,
Rah, the Negative Unconscious is invariant. Spatio-temporal distances, space &
spacelessness, do not exist there. All the eternal happenings and incidents are
found in one single Point. When this Point comes into motion its name becomes the
Soul (Rooh). Before coming into motion its name was Draught (Rah). Commencement
of the movement is responsible for the production of the temporal and spatial distances
in this Point.
The Cosmic
Sight have been mentioned in the previous pages. The same Cosmic Sight is the Rah
(Draught) and after splitting up in temporal and spatial distances the same is called
Incident Reality (Haqiquat-e-Wardah) or the soul.
If the word
‘sun’ is pronounced in an audible voice the image of the sun would flash in the mind
of the listener. The sun appearing in the mind of the listener, in fact, is the
sun with which he is acquainted externally. He does not recognize any other sun
except the one which occurs in his mind. This movement is known as the Soul, the
soul is affiliated with the human mind in the form of an Incident Reality and is
flowing and prevailing in all the existents equally.
When somebody
holds this Incident Reality in his mind it takes the shape of the imagination, that
is, the Soul after infusing in the Conscious becomes the imagination. This very
state is called Roya (Vision), but when this imagination comes down to the level
of the angle of visibility it is called Royat (Appearance). The sight, at this stage,
finds the object before itself in an embodied form. The role of the sight remains
the same even at this stage as it was there in the Rah, Rooh and Roya. The first
cycle, in general terms, is called Unconscious; second, the Perception, third, the
Imagination (Idea) and fourth, thé Object.
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.
