Period or interval of time is the name of such a
spatial state that is rotating on a linear path. When all the above mentioned four
consciouses revolve in the linear direction, this revolution is known as Period,
Interval of time or Time. But, when the revolution of these consciouses is directed
towards a center it is known as Space. Both these states, the Linear rotation and
the centripetal rotation take place simultaneously. Both these rotations are jointly
and continuously producing movement in the conscious. We are sensuously familiar
with the linear movement in the form of seconds, minutes, hours, days, months, years
and centuries. And, the rotational movement is known in the forms of the earth,
the moon, the sun, the heavenly bodies and the solar systems etc. Both these states
are unitedly known as the Period. In fact, a variation which is a combination of
the Ultra-achromatic, the Achromatic, the monochromatic and the omnichromatic keeps
on taking place in our senses. This variation commences from fantasy and after transforming
into thought and imagination it takes the form of the feelings (senses). This variation,
then, reverts and returns back taking the same route, that is, it has to convert
back into imagination, thought and finally fantasy. Fantasy, Thought and the’ Imagination,
all these three states occur on one side of the linear movement and the sensuous
state takes place on that side of the rotational movement in which the linear movement
occurs. Thus, the spatial and temporal both the variations occur in the same one
point of the senses (feelings). The very same point is termed as the Period and
this periodic process is eternal.
Centralities
of the aforementioned four consciouses have four separate and distinct lives. The
Centrality of the Senses is known as the Phenomenal World. Centrality of imagination
during the course of its descending movement is known as the Realm of Vision (Roya),
Realm of Event or the Realm Of Illustrative Forms and during the ascent it is called
the Realm of Spirits (souls) or the Realm of Purgatory (Illyeen and Sijjeen). The
centrality of the Thought during the course of its descent is called the Origin
(Mubdaa) and in its ascension the Resurrection and judgement (Hell and Paradise).
The first section of the conscious that has been
named as Rah (Draught) is known as the Inevitable Being the remaining three sections
are called ‘the Being’. There is no variation in the Inevitable Being (Wajib-ul-
Wajood) but the linear and the rotational Revolution in the ’Being’ are unitedly
called the Period or the Existent. Former of the two revolutions is the mutual connection
of every particle of the universe. The universe and the situational states of the
Cosmic Conscious are placed in this revolution. The rotational revolution is particular
for the individual. Individual and his modes of existence are situated in this rotation
but all the states of the individual are only a fractional part of the collective
states of the universe.
If we could travel into the inner of a particle,
the first thing encountered would be Space of the Compounded Nasma. This Space is
the world of senses. Within the area Of this Space the conscious of the individual
remains immersed in the senses pertaining to the Appearance (Royat) as though the
Appearance itself is a collection of the senses within the Spatiality of the Appearance
there is another Space, called the Vision (Roya). It is Space of the uncompounded
or simple nasma. Space of the compounded Nasma is the outer garment of the individual’s
personality whereas, Space of the Simple Nasma is the inner body of the individual’s
personality, that is, the Vision is such a Space which could be termed as the internal
body of the individual. Within Space of the Vision, there exists another Space.
This Space is the body of the Variant Light. And, within this Space resides the
Invariant Light. The Invariant Light is the Inevitable Being or the Elohistic Attributes
or the Spacelessness (La Makan). Its vast expanses are encompassing the universe.
But, the Supreme Being of Allah is still beyond it. As mentioned above, it is a
Virtuous Quality of Allah, the Most High, and is Endogenous all the same.
Compounded Nasma, Simple Nasma, Variant Light and
the Invariant Light all have different and separate sets of senses. The senses pertaining
to the Appearance (Royat) remain Predominant in the Phenomenal World Over the other
senses. When the individual lives in the State of Vision (Roya) i. e. he is dreaming
his attention is diverted from the Appearance and focuses in the Vision, or to say,
the senses of the Vision dominate over all the other senses. The senses of the Vision
(Roya) since Eternity had been dominating over rest of the senses till the creation
of the Phenomenal World and now these senses come into action only during the state
of Sleep and after awakening these become subjugated. After death, in the Erebus
or the Limbo (the Purgatory) these senses will once again become dominant over all
the other senses. The senses of the Soul had been dominated in the Realm of Event,
are dominated in the state of Appearance and will remain in subjugation in the Purgatory
as well. But on the Day of Resurrection the senses of the Soul will become predominating
over all the other senses and will remain enforced permanently.
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.
