FROM THE TRANSLATOR'S DESK


As a ninth-grader I was inspired by the way Mathew Star of the pop­ular English serial "Powers of Mathew Star" used his telepathic powers to help people. It was 1984 and I wanted to have the power to do likewise. Later, thinking about Star's program, I saw my mother's Copy of the Roohani Digest, and inside, found an advertisement to "Learn : Telepathy." The Divine timing in providing a teacher stunned me, for the ad led me to Shaikh Khwaja Shams Uddin Azeemi and to a total change in my life. I learned that mastering telepathy is like learning the ABC's of spiritual science and is of value only as a part of one's search for self and God. Since then I have been a member of the 'Azeemia Order, and through many ups and downs Shaikh Azeemi and the Azeemia Order have been there to guide me.

In Karachi I volunteered for tasks at the Central Meditation Hall of the Azeemia Order, and since immigrating to Canada in 2002 have been active in the Mississauga Meditation Centre. The Azeemia Order has provided guidance, including helpful books on spirituality, a loving family of Azeemi brothers and sisters, and an environment that inspires one to give deep thought to finding oneself and God.

Many people are needed for the design, layout, editing, and print­ing of a translation of this magnitude. First, I would like to thank Dr. Harold Raley and David Raley of Kingsley Literary Services of Houston, Texas for the excellent editing and book layout. I am grate­ful to Rasheeda Jilani of the Healing Centre of Canada, Mr. Ehtisham­ul-Haque, and Mr. Shahzad Malik for their encouragement and sup­port. Likewise, I am indebted to Mr. Kamran Basit, Office Secretary of Markazi Muraqaba Hall, for his great help in designing the book cover. I also thank Mr. Azmat who worked on the design of the title. I am also thankful to my wife who encouraged me thoughout my project.

I am supremely grateful to Shaikh Khwaja Shams Uddin Azeemi for granting his permission and entrusting this project to me. I thank him for his suggestions and advice. Lastly, I am thankful to God for giving me as my great spiritual teacher Shaikh Khwaja Shams Uddin Azeemi and for endowing me with the ability to complete my task.

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.
