One way a human can live life is to live every moment of it
entrapped in limited senses. The second way of living life is for a person to
live free of the limitations of senses though living within them. Feelings of
grief and sorrow do not affect such a person. The dazzling resources of earth
do not attract him because the superior world of heaven, which is far away from
this earth, is higher and fore most by comparison. In the same way he eats
bread when confined to the physical body, so he plucks the grapes from the
gardens of heaven once he is freed from materialism. When such a person becomes
complete in self knowing, then new ways of life, new avenues, and arrangements
of life, are revealed to him. This type of person is known as a "Free
Man" who holds the consciousness of Qalander.

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.
