and essence are two different things. By essence we have partnership with other
species like sheep, goats, cattle, buffaloes, dogs, cats, snakes, pigeons, and
doves. By disposition we have our own individual position. This position is
gifted to us by the eternal power that is beyond all other creatures and
surpasses in excellence all the people of the universe. This gift is the
ability to reflect and excel in wisdom.
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.
