Establishment of Allah on the Throne and His
Being closer than the Jugular vein we have to delve into both these statements
for common meanings. In fact, these are two ways of perceiving something. Practicing
perception in the obscurity takes human imagination in remote are s of
Boundlessness and this remoteness is termed as the High Throne. Exercising
perception in the depth takes it closer to the human conscious. This nearness
has been called, 'Closer than the jugular vein', by Allah, the Most High. Here
it should be kept in mind that the remoteness of the Boundlessness and the
nearness of the conscious are synonymous. Both these places, in -fact, are one
and the same. Only the approaches of perception are different. The perception,
on one hand reaches the High Throne by travelling in the obscurity and on the other
ha nd absorbs in the vicinity of the Jugular Vein after immersing in the depths.
In both the ways purpose is to reach Allah the Most Exalted. The first
perception is the Black Draught an the second one is the Manifestation. Abstraction,
one of the remaining two perceptions is the other side of the Black Draught. Since
there is a depth for every height and a height for every depth, therefore,
Abstraction is the lower side of the Black Draught and the higher. side of the
Manifestation is the Evidence. Both these sides are pertinent to those final
limits of the universe which are extended up to the ultra-cosmos. This has been
explained in the following words.
"Allah is the Light of the Heights and the
Depths, as if there is a Niche, in it a Lamp, the Lanzp is enclosed in Glass. This
tan1p of Divine Oil is luminant without any phenon1enal light. And whose Light
is independent of all directions, Light upon Light".
. When the obscurity is searched the Attributes
of Allah are found Light upon Light and the cognition of Allah is acquired
through these very four perceptions which spurt from the Black Point that has
already been discussed at length. One may ask, what the perception is after all.
Perception is Time.
smallest possible fraction of a second and the
longest period of Time conceivable by tJ1 e human mind are both perceptions and
the characteristics of the Black Point. TI1e incidents of the atomic explosions
of HirosJ1ima and Nagasaki are the observed examples of the smallest fraction
and the longest period of Time0.
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.
