A
time came when sadness was placed as a guard on the happy life. It was frozen
and silenced. Movement and restlessness were unknown. God wished for this
loneliness to come to an end, for silence to turn into movement, and for
creatures to be manifested so that they could see and understand God's
greatness, mystery, and handiwork. Thus God's intention of show His handiwork echoed
in the form of KUN (come into being). Then life arose, was extended, and caused
movement.
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.
