Muraqbah

If a man is desirous of viewing the pictorial reflections of the Intuitive Knowledge in the mirror of the Conscious, there is a very simple technique for the purpose.

 

He should arrange to sit in a dark corner where the temperature is moderate. Limbs are all the muscles of the body should be relaxed. The relaxation is required to that extent where the feelings of existence of the body should no longer remain there. Rate of breathing should be slowed down to the least possible and it must not be hard or heavy breathing. He should close his eyes and should attempt to see into his inner self. If the deeds and thoughts of the person who is practicing the Meditation are chaste then this would tone up his Subtlety of the Self very fast and because of the toned subtlety of the Self the Conscious would become more and more resplendent. This process, in Sufistic terms, is known as Muraqbah.

 

Submission to the order commanded by Allah, the Most High, is Sura Muzammil, “And, Be attentive to Him, cut off from all,” is compulsory for ‘Muraqbah’. Laxation of body and low rate of breathing are essential for producing the state of being unconcerned in totality. When the physical body becomes impreceptible and is no longer being realized as such, the Nucleus of the Self starts ascending. Other than this state and condition – it only descends. It ascends only when it could itself liberated from the bodily depends and the physical desires and the mind is not reminding it of the worldly affairs. When the Nucleus of the Self is released from the worldly worries it starts its stroll in the Realm and it becomes ambulant, enjoys eating and drinking and performs all those activities which could be termed as its eminent activities. Here it becomes emancipated from the spatial ties and bonds of the space. Its strides is not only willful but could cover any length of Time, from its beginning to its end. When the core of the self becomes fully versed with the activities of Muraqbah it becomes so expensive that it could touch both the ends of Times, the Eternity and Infinity. It can, then, use its powers according to its will and intention. Intentions and happenings of the millennia of the past or the future can be observed if it is so wished because all that ever existed or will ever exist between the two limits of the Eternity and the Infinity is also present even then. This very state is known as the ‘prambulation’ (Sair) by the Sufis.

Loh O Qalam

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.
