When someone excels in this state of
Meditation, he finds it difficult to keep his eyes closed during the
observation of the Realm of Behest because a sort of pressure which is
intolerable from the eyes forces them to remain open. Eye lids find themselves
incapable of accommodating the lights radiated by the nucleus of the self and
spontaneously become active which result in the activation of the process of
blinking. When this strolling and prambulation starts taking place with the
open eyes it is known as ‘The Openness’ (Fateh).
It should be clearly understood that the
movement of the Self remains limited within the worldly thoughts and activities
as long as it remains burdened with the worldly demands and wants, but once it
is relieved from the burden of worldly feelings and sensations it rises towards
the World Unseen and studies the life styles of that world and thus acquaint
itself with the Spiritual Realm, observes and understands the solar systems of
that world and many celestial systems of the heavens. Introduces itself with
the Angles. Becomes aware of this things which are hiding in its own Real Self,
recognizes those potentialities that are lying within it reach and access the
facts of the Realm of Behest are revealed upon him. He observes what type of
lights are being used in the formation of the universe and what types of Lights
(Anwar) are supporting these lights. And, the Beatific Vision also is revealed
upon hos conscious which the actual root of the lights (Anwar) that are
supporting the lights.
In order to help a novice to understand the
Realm of Behest it could be exemplified as follows: -
If fireworks are displayed in a moonlight night
the lights of the fireworks will be encompassed by the moonlight and many
patterns and designs will appear to standing out in the lights and
scintillations of the fireworks. Features of fireworks and the designs so
formed will be based upon the light and the light will further be staying upon
the moon light. If, now the moonlight be considered as the Beatific Visions of
the Supreme Self or the Realm of Specified Behest then the light of the
firework would be called Realm of General Behest and the Attributes. And the
patterns based upon the light would be considered as Nasmic Realm, the
descended Beatific Vision of the Attributes, the out-lined limits or the
periphery of the patterns would be termed as the individuals or the Universe,
that is, Nasma is based upon the Beatific Vision of the Attributes and Beatific
Vision of the Attributes is based upon the Beatific Vision of Supreme Self. When
movement takes places in Nasma it produces the various forms of Time and Space,
circles and the impressions of the Dimensions. These impressions of dimensions
consist of the sun the moon, the stars and all the other created existents in
the universe. When a percipient (Aarif) starts his perambulation he does not
enter the universe from the external sides but enters it through the core of
his Self which is a conglomeration of all the three aforementioned realms. Unification
of Being commences from this point. When a percipient focuses his sight
penetratingly at this point, a windows of light Opens and he finds himself on
such a highway that leads in all direction of universe through countless
passages. He, now gradually acquaints with all the solar and celestial systems
step by step, enjoy stays in incalculable stars and planets. Observes every
type of creatures. Avails the opportunity of familiarizing himself with the in
and out of every impression. Gradually he has the knowledge of facts and
realities of actual roots of the universe. The secrets of the creation are
revealed upon him and the laws of nature transpire upon his mind. First of all
his known self is understood by him and then, the formats of the spiritualism
are accommodated by his perception. Beatific vision of supreme being and
attributes are perceived by him. it is completely understood by him that how
the universe had come into being when the word 'kun' was uttered by Allah, the
most high and high manifestation are peregrinating expanse after expanse in
phase and stages. He witnesses that he is also one of the travellers of the
caravan of theses existent.
Be it known that the aforementioned
prambulation in not conducted on the ways and Paths of the outside, it traces
can only be found in the fathomless depths of the light kindling in the center
of the heart. Not that this world should be considered an unreal world of the
fantasies and imaginations, it is certainly not so. All the facts are realities
which are existing in the world are found embodied in forms and shapes in that
world of reality.
In fact every fashioned form has three
existences one in the beatific vision of supreme being, and the other in the
beatific vision of the attributes and the last one in the created Realm.
"Nay! surely the record of the
wickeds is preserved in the 'Sijjeen' (prison). And what will explain to thee
what is Sijjeen is? There is a register fully inscribed. Woe, that day, to
those that deny - those that deny the day of judgement. And none can deny it
but the transgressor beyond bounds, the Sinner! When our signs are rehearsed to
him, he says, 'Tale of ancient!' By no means! but on their hearts is the stain
of the ill which they do. Verily, from the light of their Lord, that day, will they
be veiled. Further, they will enter in the fire of hell. Further, it will be
said to them, ' This is the reality which ye rejected as false! Nay, verily the
record of righteous is preserved in Illiyeen. (High Places). And what will
explain to thee what illeyeen is? There is a register fully inscribed. To the
bear witness those nearest to Allah. Truly the righteous will be bliss. on
thrones of dignity they will command the sight of all things. Thou wilt
recognize in their faces the beaming brightness of bliss. Their trust will be
slaked by our wine sealed. The seal thereof will be of musk and for this let
those aspire, who have aspirations. With it will be given a mixture of tasneem.
A spring from the waters whereof drink those Nearest to Allah"
(Quran
Surah 83 Verse 7 to 28)
" Is he not He to create or to
command (to Govern)?"
(Surah VII Verse
54)
According to the above sited verses all
these three existences are commanded by Allah, the most exalted, and their
deeds and actions and this command in the form of information.
"We created and commanded!" it
is comprising two sides. One side is enacted through the movement which is
technically known as "Nasma". " Allah is the light. . . . . . .
. .. " is that base upon which the first command 'Kun' (Be!) is Established.
Manifestation of this 'Kun' descend in the form of radiant silhouette or to say
this is the consideration of the creation. Then the details of the movement Nasma
take their shape according to the will and knowledge of Allah, The most high. The
radiant silhouette is encompassing every impression and there is fixed and
appointed level of details in every impression which is generally known as the
nature of the thing (Formational Construction). The nature of the thing is the
radiant silhouette is epitome of mercury. Both the silhouette and the level of
the movement i. e. the epitomes of mercury are conspicuously observed in the
close examination of the creation. The silhouette (Hiola) is the radiant
impression which is invariant and the epitomes of the mercury., like the
surface of mercury, are a motion which is in a state of continuous variation. In
this variable surface time space and the details of implementation of the
affairs are found. There is a sort of luster of this surface upon which the
reflection of the commands fall continuously. This very reflection is termed as
the movement. This movement produces a variety of cycles of impressions using pauses.
The cycles have been termed as 'the written book' by Allah in the Holy Quran. The
cycles are constructed of the ascent and descent of the movement. This level of
the movement which is called the mind on the one hand ascends up to the core of
the self and on the other hand it descends to the depth of the shadow
reflections falling upon the lustrous surface. The state of ascension in human
terminology is the dream. The ascent and descent both the movements take place
according to the signals of nature (divine power) Every individual of the
universe is at its beck and call, therefore all the fashioned form of the
universe sleep and awake. The state of ascension, the somnolence
(Intuition)brings closer to the supreme self and the state of descent, the
wakefulness (intellect) takes away from the supreme self. Those two are the
essential components of the existing life which are the determinants of life. Every
fashioned form of the universe bounded by these determinants. Gnostics
peregrinate in the somnolence by means Muraqbah where as in the phenomenal
world travelling is only possible through the mobility of the limbs. The
Quranic programme stresses upon the protection of the both the components.
A
few words about the basic of the Quranic Programme are essential. establish 'Salat' prayers and pay
'Zakat', this has been reiterating commanded by Allah, the most exalted
in the Holy Quran.
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.
