Jokes and brambles, flowers and thorns
are reactions of feelings themselves. These reactions indicate a way of
thinking. If the way of thinking involves belief, certainty, and observation,
then this means that the children of Adam are aware of peace. If the way of
thinking involves uncertainty, doubt, and disloyalty, then life is like a bed
full of thorns. Every turn on this bed is full of blood, and every breath is mortal.
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.
