The colors of the atmosphere, the lights that protect life,
the different types of gasses, the assembly of stares in the blue sky, the
bright moon in the dark night, the sun, which gives the day its light, air,
fragrant dawn, the singing of the trees, the songs of birds, the call of the
nightingale, the voice of the cuckoo, the ebb and flow of floods, the pathways
for lightning and thunder, who made these things? Can you command the clouds so
they do not send rain upon you? Who gave wisdom and intelligence to the heart?
And who gave freedom to the deer? If we interpret these things on the basis of
dignity and greatness, then we cannot say that we do not possess anything in
ourselves. For in fact our body itself has infinite signs, which we cannot deny
and which are signs for people of wisdom. So the question is, is there anybody
who wants to understand?
KHWAJA SHAMS-UD-DEEN AZEEMI
What is the universe? It is a point, and this point is a
divine light, and the divine light is itself a light.
Every point is the imprint of luminescence (Tajalli). When
this imprint transforms itself into the divine light then it becomes Aura
(Jism-e-Misali). The display of the Aura is the physical body.
The physical body is built up as a structure of bones, flesh,
and muscle. The skin is a kind of plaster and color on this building. The life
of the human being who is made up of veins, arteries, nerves, bones, and flesh,
is nothing except senses.
