Tajjali; The
Beatific Vision, descends and turns into Noor; the luminescence and the Noor
descends and becomes the light or the manifestation. The same manifestation is the
Object which is the manifested form of the Beatific Vision and Luminescence. The
Beatific Vision, in the other words, descends to become the Luminescence and Luminescence
descends to become the object or the manifestation. This manifestation is created
from the Beatific Vision and Luminescence and expires to return in the same Luminescence
and the Beatific Vision. And, if Allah would desire, that non-existing would once
again be made existing. Percipient (Aarif) exercises his influence in the
Knowledge of the Object ensuring a direct effect upon the object.
Conductive Influence (Tasurruf)
– is of the three types:-
i)
Miracle
ii)
Wonder working
iii)
Sorcery
It is necessary to understand here, the
difference between the three.
Sorcery is that knowledge which induced
in a person for a specific purpose by the evil spirits of the Limbo or the demonolater
jinns. Examples of such a case is also found in times of the Holy Prophet (PBUH).
A lad, name Saaf Ibn-e-Sayyad, used to
live in an orchard situated in the vicinity of Medina. Demonolaters, on getting
a chance, took him into their possession and aroused his sixth sense. He used to
lie down covering himself in a sheet and would close his eyes and kept on watching
and hearing the activities of the angels which he narrated for the people. When
the Holy Prophet (PBUH) heard about him, he urged Omar to accompany him to see Ibn-e-Sayyad.
He was playing on a red mound near Medina
when they reached there. Holy Prophet (PBUH) asked him, “Tell, who am I?”
He paused, thought and finally said,
“You are the Messenger of the Illiterates but you proclaim to be the messenger of
Allah”.
Holy Prophet (PBUH) commented, “Your
Knowledge is imperfect and you have fallen prey to doubt, anyhow tell what is there
in my heart?”
He replied, “Dukh” (one who does
not believe) i.e. you think that I‘ll not believe.
Holy Prophet (PBUH) told him, “Then,
your knowledge is limited, you won’t be able to progress. You also do not know why
it is so!”
Hazrat Omar said, “I may be granted permission
to chop off his head”.
Holy Prophet (PBUH) replied, “O, Omar
if he is Dajjal you won’t be able to get him and if he is not, his killing
would be futile, leave him”.
In the unseen World words and the meaning
mean nothing. Everything whether it is a fantasy, a thought, an idea or a feeling
it has a form and figure. If the sixth sense of someone is actively functioning,
ability of Clairvoyance is produced in him. The word of prophet in Hebrew means,
One who sees the Unseen and the word for Messenger means the Messenger of Unseen.
For this reason Ibn-e-Sayyad failed to determine vacticnal status of the Holy Prophet
(PBUH). What he could observe was that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) was a messenger of
the Unseen, since his acquaintance with the Unseen realm was limited and confined
to himself or to the extent of those jinns who were his instructors and friends.
He could observe the activities of angels and this was the maximum his art could
do. When he tried to understand the status of the Holy Prophet (PBUH) he declared
him to be the Messenger of Unseen because he never had the gnosis of the Deity.
His necromancy could help him to know only that the Holy Prophet (PBUH) had born
in an illiterate nation and the miracles associated with him were exhibited in an
illiterate nation, so under the influence of this thought he concluded that the
Holy Prophet (PBUH) what the Messenger of the Illiterates. When the Holy Prophet
(PBUH) found him confined within the limits of Sorcery he put this question to him
that he should tell him what was there in his heart. In reply to this he said Dukh’
and the Holy Prophet (PBUH) after concluding that he won’t be having the cognition
of the reality, informed him that he won’t be able to progress.
Thus, like Ibn-e-Sayyad no sorcerer can
enjoy the Divine Cognition of Allah, the Most Exalted. This is the main difference
between Sorcery and the Vaticinal Knowledge that the former remains confined
within the limits of necromancy and the Vaticinal Knowledge takes a man beyond the
limits of prophesying and enable him to reach the Divine goal of Cognition of Allah,
the Most High.
When something supernatural is made to
happen by a prophet under the influence of the Vaticinal Knowledge it is called
Miracle and when something supernatural is made to occur by a saint it is called
the Wonder-working, this too, happens because of the Vaticinal Knowledge. Effects
of the Miracle and Wonder-working are permanent, that is, they remain enforced unless
abolished or removed by their producer. Whereas, the actions conducted under Sorcery
are not permanent and their impact is automatically lost with the change of the
environments. Anything that is made to happen because of Sorcery is known as Magic.
All the roots of creation are associated
to that current of the Beatific Vision which is superior to the Ultra-conscious.
This current circulates upto the final limits of the most confined center of every
particle of the components of the universe. If this Beatific Vision experiences
an unpleasant incidence during its course of passage through the most confined center
of the universe a state of excited agitation is produced in it.
According to the principles of Sorcery
some unpleasant effect is produced in the most Confined Center, the Beatific
Vision which is the essence of virtue, gets irritated because of this dejecting
effect and in retaliation some destructive effect is caused. When someone produces
some impurity or fetidness in the most confined center, only because of aversion
of that Beatific Vision effectiveness of the virtues becomes suspended and his powers
acquire control over destruction and deterioration. Shell of the most confined center
is the human body.
Sadhoos, for instance, manage to completely
clog the skin pores of their bodies by rubbing in ashes on themselves. Thus, the
inner lights of their bodies which could be termed as the essence of the life become
polluted and acquire fluidity. This very fetidness starts flowing towards the most
confined centers of other bodies causing them to participate in ‘subversive activities’
under the influence produced therein.
Bathing or Ablution before worshipping
rites is categorically suggested in every religion, though the worship is related
to the mind and not to the body. Purpose of ablution or having bath is to produce
a refreshing effect on the mind which could help in concentrating.
Law
Here, we have to understand, how and
where are the actions and activities performed and enacted by our body limbs and
organs are created. Let us, therefore, take a look at the Formational Construction
(nature of a thing). Formational Construction is the typical characteristics of
the Persona Major and the Persona Major is the collection of various species of
all the creatures. Many of the species and creatures are known to us. Lion, horse,
legal, stars, moon, sun, earth, sky, jinn, angels, man, air, water, gold, silver,
gems, stones, pebbles, mountains, oceans, greenery and the insecta, each one of
them is a species or a creature. There typicality or the specified form of the species
is the Formational construction which always occurs in the same mode and pattern.
A lion has a typical form and shape, a particular temperament, it’s voice too, is
a typical one and these things are specific traits of its species. Similarly, man
also has typical form and figure, specific habits and manners and certain abilities
of his own. Although both the species in their Formational Constructions are entirely
different from each other. Origin of the Formation is the same and both are ordained
with similar physical wants, love, affection, rage and sorrow. This concurrence
is not in the Formational Constructions of the species but in its Origin which is
that center of life we life in its extremities get united whether it is one of the
tiniest insects’ or that of the sun or the moon. This law gives us information regarding
two parts of the soul, One is the individual, separate Formation of each species
and the other is the Single united Formation of all the species, and the same is
the Great Soul of the Persona Major whereas, the Individual Formation of each species
is the Person Minor, and the manifestation of the very same are known as the Individuals.
For instance, all the human beings are the same formation within the perimeter of
the Persona Minor.
One: individuals of every species happen
to know one another within the perimeter of the Persona Minor, that is, the limits
of this Sub-Formation. Second: every individual is acquainted with the individuals
of all the species in the limits of the Persona Major i.e., the perimeter of the
Super-Formation. A lion recognizes another lion as his fellow being by virtue of
the Persona Minor whereas the same line would identify a man, a river, the water
of the river, his dwelling land, the warmth or the coldness of the weather by virtue
of the Persona Major. A lion is drawn toward a lion because of the Sub-Formation
but when a lion feels thirsty and he tends to drink water, this tendency takes place
in him because of the Super Formation i.e., the Persona Major he understands
that water quenches thirst.
Qalandar Baba Auliay (R.A)
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.
