Question: It has been stated by you that
all the lessons given so far, aim at development of concentrative abilities and
purging of thoughts. Could you not have curtailed the time period by suggesting
the direct exercises for telepathy? The exercises of telepathy would have
automatically induced concentration then, are you not prolonging it without any
apparent reason?
Answer; Man has been ordained with an
[insatiable quest for exploring facts and realities. He longs to resolve the
mysteries of nature to have a developed understanding of the same. His
determination has eventually resulted in his progress in the material sciences
but still there are facts which despite their existence remain beyond the
limited conscious cognition of man. These are the facts which cannot be
cognized with the help of ordinary physical senses. If one is desirous of
discovering the ultimate realities existing behind the supernatural phenomena
one is required to exercise that consciousness which is paranormal, or to say,
which can be acquired through the extra-refined senses of the unconscious. And
this would only be possible when one could rise above the physical senses and
the material organs. Our intellect finds it difficult to resolve the queer and
enigmatic conundrums of nature because secrets of the unseen realms are related
with the unconscious and not with the conscious mind. Intellect depends upon
the pragmatic experiences of the physical and material senses. But for proper
cognition of the ultimate realities we have to seek the help of that agency
which is operative at the ultra conscious level.
Man, according to modem science, is
physically composed of some 126 elements, and for his locomotion he makes use
of every type of energy; the heat energy, the light energy, electrical energy,
mechanical energy. All those elements which are required for the creation of
the material things are all found in one place; in man's physical composition.
Man is at par with animals, birds and insects if he is not aware of the use of
the powers granted to him by Nature. The only quality which enables him to be
the cardinal member of Nature is the Will-Power in him. The only distinction
which helps him to rise above the animal level is this Will-Power. If one
enjoys mis divine faculty he is superior to other creatures. It is man's willÂpower
which enables him to harness the forces of nature and to equip himself with the
crown of vicegerency of Allah, the most Exalted, after having the proper
cognition of the laws of nature and then finally that of the ultimate realities
behind the phenomena of nature.
For this very reason of purging the minds
of the students of telepathy instead of starting with the direct lessons of
telepathy we considered it more befitting to suggest the exercises to develop
the concentrative abilities.
Besides purging of mind, understanding of
the computer of the soul, the mind, is also mandatory. It is quite obvious that
unless we are not ready to explore the mind, after rising above the present
material systems, we will not be able to discover the hitherto unexplored
hidden potentialities and the working style of mind.
For acquainting ourselves with these hidden
and unlimited abilities of our mind it is essential to have this knowledge as
to how we can liberate ourselves from the clutches of the hypothetical senses.
As far as long waiting is concerned, when
the creative formulae of the cosmos are considered with deliberate
contemplation it becomes crystal clear that every passing movement causes us to
wait for the coming moments. Waiting in itself is lire. The period from infancy
to childhood, from childhood to youthfulness and from youthfulness to old age,
the whole life passes in waiting, if the old age of coming sixty years are not
hidden and infused in a baby born today he will never
be able to come out of his cradle. His
growth will not only be stopped but will not take place at all. The kinetic
system of the universe will come to a halt. The sun and the moon will lose
their light.
When a seed is sown in the earth it, in
fact, is a beginning of a waiting, till it blooms into a flower.

His Divine Grace Qalander Baba Auliya
writes in his valuable work 'Tazkira Tajuddin Baba" (An Account of
Tajuddin Baba Auliya).
"Human beings are conversant with the
act of 'articulation' from the very beginning. In talking, the sound waves with
predetermined meanings convey the information to the listeners. This method is
a duplication of that communication style which takes place between the waves
of Ego. It is a common observation that a dumb person conveys everything with a
slight movement of his lips and those who are versed with lip-reading;
understand everything which he desires to convey. This too, is a replica of the
same method. Animals convey their feelings to their fellows without producing
any sound. In this case, too, the waves of Ego are operative. Trees also
converse and communicate with one another regardless of the distance existing
between them. This conversation not only takes place amongst the nearby trees,
but the trees at far off distances also take part in it. The same law is valid
for the minerals as well. Stones, pebbles and the dust particles also negotiate
with one another exactly in the same style."
