It is important to explicate here how the
cosmos is formed and what is the role of Time and Space in its control and
administration.
Universe has two aspects. If one is termed as
the Internal Self then the other will have to be termed as Personal Ego. Internal
Self is the base line comprising huge heavenly bodies and the smallest particle
of the universe, id est, all the lights which combinatively constitute the
great and small heavenly bodies and the other particles of the universe, are
the parts of the Internal Self. If we could see these lights they will appear
in the form of the concept (Imaginations). These very imaginations are handed
down to the Personal Ego by the Internal Self. Transference of imagination
(concepts) depends upon the Internal Self O Personal Ego is bound to accept the
imaginations handed over to it by the Internal Self. For instance, only those
imaginations are conveyed to the rose by the Internal Self which are exhibited
in the form and figure of the rose. Similarly, man receives only those concepts
from the Internal Self which are to be exhibited in the form and figure of a
human being.
What is the Structural Formation of man?
He is a collection of those concepts which
acquire the consciousness of the Personal Ego in the Internal Self. Man’s Unconscious ( the Internal Self)
constructs its own body. That
which is ordinarily called ‘Substance’ (matter) is the product of the machine
of the Unconscious. Normally
it is considered that the diet taken from the out formulates blood and the
flesh of the body. It is
altogether a wrong conjecture. In fact,
Man’s Unconscious (Internal Self) converts the concepts into matter by using
the light . Matter
makes its existence known by taking the form of physical figure and features
and gravity. Death
occurs when, due to any cause, the Unconscious does not arrange to convert the
concept into matter or substance.
Man in his lifetime usually suffers, sometimes
more than once, from fetal and protracted diseases and his diet is reduced to
the minimum or is totally forbidden but still he doesn’t die. One would
eventually conclude that the physical machine is not responsible for keeping
the life functional. These Observations
also confirms that what the human body gets from without are not the resources
of life. The skill of the Unconscious is responsible for the life.
There are many ways to understand the Internal
Self. Characteristics
of the Internal Self are innumerable. Man after
his birth and then infancy, attains the age of sixty or sometimes even ninety O
His body, his thoughts, his knowledges and activities keep changing all time . Every bit and part of his body, knowledge and
thoughts changes but the person remains the same person born some ninety or
sixty years ago. If his
name is tom he would always be addressed by the name of Tom and will be
remembered as Tom.
What is this Tom?
This Tom is the Internal Self . All that changes is the Personal Ego . Internal Self is encompassing the
universe. The
Knowledge of the universe is not possessed by the Personal Ego because of its
unconcernedness regarding the internal Self. if all the interests of a person are limited to
his family alone his experiences and Observations will also be limited
according and his thinking will remain confined to his family only. Or so to say, he has confined his
understanding within the perimeter of his family so much so that he is unable
to see beyond his family. Eyes and
ears of a person see and hear within the perimeter of the understanding of that
person. They
simply fail to see or hear beyond the range of the person’s perception. Apparently he enjoys well established
contacts with the world around but the understanding of such a person is not at
all attracted by anything out of his family unit. His conscious is just like that of a few years
old child who is at a loss to make anything out of the news broadcast of the
world. From the
view point of spiritualism a man is considered to be only few years old even if
in his fifties his thinking is confined within the limit of his family alone. Conscious of a person remains immature
even in his hundredth year if he only cares about his own individual interests. For this reason he remains unaware about
the Internal Self. He, on
the stage of universe, reminds us of a three year child present in an
international symposium. For the
very reason religion is an integral part of the life, A nation can neither
observe the standards of the universe nor can its understanding comprehend the
sciences concerning the universe, if it does not believe in sincerity for the
universe. It has
detached itself from the Internal Self. This type of a nation would remain in infancy
despite living for many thousand years.
The light which is felt by our eyes is a veil
drawn between the Internal Self and the Personal Ego. The concepts are conveyed to the Personal
Ego from the Internal Self through the very same light. In other words, informations given to the
Personal Ego by the Internal Self are carried over to the Personal Ego by this
light after giving them shape, color and dimension. Television could be referred to as an
example of it . All that is telecast from a television station
can be seen and heard or seen on the television screen but heard or seen on the
television screen but when the communication is switched off nothing can be
heard or seen on the screen. Similar
is the case of the information coming from the Internal Self. Individuals of the mankind receive the
informations through the light. Man’s
observations and the knowledge is in according with the informations received
by him. When the
supply of the informations is disconnected for an individual that person
expires but this disconnection is form the Phenomenal World only, that is, man
is disconnected from one phase of life only, supply of information remains
intact from the second phase, known as the Unseen.
It must be kept in mind that the light because
of which our eyes observe also has two planes. The senses of one plane have both the gravity
and the dimensions whereas the senses of the other plane have only dimensions. The planes of the dimensions are found in
the depths of this very light. The
informations supplied from the upper plane of light are seen and heard directly
but the informations dispatched from the lower plane of the light are observed by
something due to which the senses fail to grasp them completely. Actually, the informations received from
the upper plane becomes a hindrance for the informations of the lower plane and
a wall like obstruction is formed which is so hard that our senses despite
their best endeavors cannot permeate through it. Informations of the upper plane are also of two
types.
1.
Informations pertaining to the motives. We have partial and biased attitude for
such informations.
2.
Informations, not associated with the individual interests.
These attracts our impartial attitude.
If, Keeping both the types of information in
view, we deliberate, it would be revealed that man enjoys two angles of
perception. One,
which is limited with in individuality and the other, which is beyond the limits
of individuality. When we
look in individuality the universe does not partake but when we look out of
individuality the universe partakes. The angle
in which the universe is present, we perceive ourselves along with all the
articles and objects of the universe. The
process of this perception is recurring. The same
is called the World of Experiences. On the
one hand we are used to seeing the universe in our individuality and on the
other hand we see our individuality in the universe, that is, we represent the
individuality on one hand and the universe on the other. When both these two representations
collide we come up with a vindication to support the representation of
individuality. Supporters
of this vindication something find it hard to avoid a clash with their
opponents ensuring a conflict of ideologies. Individuality could be pertaining to one of all
the flaws of the angels of individuality is that ultimately it renegades other
objects of the universe except its own self.
Sight is bound to commit a mistake in this
angle, for instance, size of an object in water appear to be different than
that of the size of the same object in air . This difference of sight is because of the
spatio-temporal restrictions. Unless
the observer does not emancipate himself from Time and Space he cannot find the
reality of an object.
Time and space are not two things. That plane of the information received
from the light before us is called the space and the plane which is hidden from
us is called Time.
In fact both these planes are one single unit. Upper plane of the conscious does not
have the ability to observe, to hear to comprehend innumerable things.
Simultaneously. It
observes, hears and comprehends things one after another in succession . Various phases occurring in his
arrangement and sequence of the senses have been given various names such as
Interval, Period, Moment, Instance, Second, etc. These are the components of Time. When these components are seen by the
sight, heard by the ears and comprehended by the mind the spatial creation
comes into being. Although
the structure of the universe is not that complex the human intellect because
of its non-familiarity with it, considers it something complex. It is quite simple and easy to understand
and despite.
There is a state of Boundlessness which is
encompassing the ultracosmos. Perception
is supplied to all the galaxial system of the universe from here. This perception passes through countless
moments . These
very moments take the form of ……………. . Manifestation
of the smallest particle of an atom and that of the huge heavenly body takes
place in the same one moment. Another
way to express the same could be that movement takes place in the perception of
the cosmos and the Boundlessness itself does not move. This movement is a unit, an entity, a
being or the Elohistic Will and is comprising of two planes, Time and the Space. Both are twins and confirm each other. Allah, the Most High, in the Holy Quran has
termed Time as the Command or the Decree (Amr) and the Space as the Creation
(Khalq).
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.
