God did not make man to be a stationary and silent cage, but
a talking, moving, eating, drinking, and thinking human being. One of his
footsteps covers the distance from the empyrean (Ursh). The eye of needle, and
the openness of the sky, the distance from one star to another, these distances
have only one meaning for him. He neither stops anywhere nor allows himself to
be distracted on his way. The only deplorable thing is that he doesn't know
himself, who he is, and what the universe is? The unveiling of all these
secrets is the greatest blessing that Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) bestowed on
mankind. Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) did not unveil these secrets on his own,
but rather God unveiled them on Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.) who then recorded
them in the form of the Quran. He handed over this deposit to mankind,
contingent on his struggle and hard work throughout his life. How well humanity
took care of this deposit is very apparent. God says this knowledge is the
knowledge of the book, and every human can take advantage of it, whether his
name be Zaid or Baqar.
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.
