Predetermined
quantities at work in each creation distinguish one species from another and
every person from every other person. The particles of sand are identical, but
with different quantitative combinations of these particles different species
are being created. These particles are creating flowers and trees somewhere,
and in another place hills and mountains, and at still other places birds
singing sweet notes. And when these apparently dead particles get life they
spread colours everywhere in the universe.
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.
