Ability of knowing the Ethereal Realm is enjoyed
by every man by virtue of his correlation with Unity (Oneness). Universe is the
name of embodiment of the Command of Allah and through the very same command Allah's
Attribute to encompass has been transferred to the whole Entirety. All segments
of the whole Entirety are conscious of one another. Whether it is in the knowledge
of an individual or not, every individual enjoys a specific position in the whole
entirety. If it had not been so, man would not have been familiar with the moon,
stars and an altogether different atmosphere existing beyond his own planet, Earth.
His sight is attracted by all the heavenly bodies and this thing is evident from
the fact that the senses of every person, have the ability to recognize the environs
beyond this globe of ours. This very recognition, in the sufistic terms ,is called
the spiritual cognition of the Attributes of Allah.
Now it could be said that in beholding the universe
the sight of man's conscious is extroceptive and the sight of the unconscious is
introceptive In other words man's unconscious has comprehensive knowledge of shapes,
forms movements and the internal conditions of every particle of the universe. He
cannot understand all these activities only because of his inability to study his
own unconscious. Study of the unconscious is only possible when the Oneiric potentialities
are aroused and awakened.
First we shall discuss awakening of that Oneiric
potentiality which in mysticism is termed as 'Kashf-ul-Joo'(Knowing the Ethereal
Realm).
Example of the essay-writer clearly expresses that
the central idea of the essay already existed in the conscious of Entirety; the
Infra-Unconscious of the writer. From there it transferred to the mind of the writer.
Now, If someone wants to peruse that essay when it is still in the Infra-unconscious,
he can do so by using that Oneiric potentiality which has been termed as Kashf-ul-Joo'
(Ability, to know the Ethereal Realm) whether the essay was written ten thousand
years ago or is yet to be written ten thousand years hence.
When Allah uttered the word ‘Kun' (Be!) all that
was to happen, as and when, from Eternity (azll) to Infinity (abbd) came into existence
in a proper arranged form. Each and every particle along with its every movement,
for all times between Eternity (the remotest beginning) and Infinity (the remotest
ending) came into being. Exhibition of only the very same, at any time, is possible
which is already existing because-which is non-existing cannot exist. Or, in other
words, nothing can exist in the universe which is not existing already
.
When a person intends to understand a point
of view properly he exercises utmost impartiality or acts like a judge, and as a
judge he cannot be a party. Judge of a court to fully comprehend the case of a plaintiff
and that of the defendant has to have the approach of an impartial court. It means
that one approach towards an issue is that of a judge and the other is that of a
party. Everybody has been gifted with two angles of thinking. One is that of a person
involved directly and other is that of an impartial person. When someone looks into
something impartially, facts and realities are revealed upon him. Inquisitiveness
or curiosity has been granted to every individual so that no stratum of the world
should be deprived of proper understanding of affairs in reaching just decisions.
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.
