Ways
of communication, expression of opinion, understanding, result and action over
result, dependency and control in response to the action, success or failure is
discussed when one understands what life is? Why it is? And if life is an act
to fulfill worldly and religious needs then what action itself is? When actions
come under discussion, it becomes mandatory to ponder over the fact that is man
independent over his actions...? If he is, then what is a dependent life?
Allah
says in Quran:
"Nay!
Surely the record of the wicked is in Sijjin.
And
what will explain to thee what Sijjin is?
a
Register inscribed" (83:7-9)
"Nay,
verily the record of the Righteous is in Elliyyeen.
And
what will explain to thee what Elliyyun is?
a
Register inscribed"(83: 18-20)
What
did you understand what is Elliyyeen, the pious life and Sijjeen,
Asfal (the lowest) life? It is a written book. It means that every
knowledge is a record. It is impossible to understand life if there is no record
of it. The meaning of word life is taken as movement. When we utter the word movement,
it means both aspects hidden and unhidden become visible and after that hide
into the thick layers of Ghaib (the hidden world). The hidden is Ghaib
and the unhidden is manifestation.
If one
understands with the help of Divine light then Torah, Psalms, Bible, other scriptures,
and the last Divine book Quran Kareem explain the law of ascent (Saood) and
descent (Nuzool). Instructions in this regard are given with clear reasoning.
It
is difficult but not impossible to figure out that on which belt millions of
worlds, trillions of suns, zillions of moon and heavens are travelling? What is
that path on which they are travelling towards their defined destination? Path
means that way where every direction illuminates the faith. When the seeker
follows the divine books and teachings of prophets, he receives guidance which
is free of doubts.
Allah
says in Quran:
"And
those who strive in Our cause- We will certainly guide them to our Paths: For
verily Allah is with those who do right."
(29:69)
Things
come into being when there is a creator. Example of world is before us. One
must struggle persistently to understand it not only by words but through
actions as well.
Respected
ladies and gentlemen, with the blessings of Allah and the last prophet Hazrat
Muhammad (PBUH), I intend to present that knowledge that has been transferred
to me with the beneficence of Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya (Rah). What is that
knowledge ...It is "Ilm-e-Huzoori".
Readers
are aware that except Allah, everything in this world has two dimensions. This
fact is evident in each and every creature. For instance, hunger and thirst, children,
family, necessities, food, anger, forgiveness, certainty and uncertainty,
belief and disbelief, knowledge and ignorance, cold and hot, hot and cold,
relief and pain, happiness and grief, sleep and wake, activation of senses in
both states, seen and unseen, life and death, peace and restlessness, besides
that eleven thousand and five hundred hidden and unhidden Divine attributes,
restriction of time and space and the life free of its boundaries ... these are
all such elements without which the word life is meaningless.
It
is an observation that when we are awake, despite being bounded by time and
space one can liberate himself from the limitations of time and space. It seems
difficult but can be comprehended easily with the help of example.
1- Suppose my name is Zaid. I am sitting
beside my wife, adorable children, parents and my maternal grandmother. I hear
a voice, sweet and soft; the moment it touches the air drum, I suddenly look
for my paternal grandmother. As soon the waves cross each other, I see my grandmother
standing before me. I open, close and rub my eyes but the image exists and I
become lost in the past.
Dear readers, you must have also
experienced it. If we consider it the outcome of thought then it's a matter of
significance that we don't act unless the waves of thoughts are displayed on
the screen of our mind. We go to cinema. Every home has a television; Ethical
and unethical programs are being aired but their source waves are not visible.
And when the waves hit the screen, the pictures hidden in the waves become
visible.
Elders and friends are requested to
think deeply that when Zaid, you or I take juice, are not the waves of juice
that provides us information similar to that of radio, TV or mobile phones...?
A thing cannot be seen if its image is
not formed inside the brain screen. Have we ever thought over the process of
picture being taken from the camera? It will be easy to understand if we consider
eye similar to camera lens.
Image cannot be taken by any mean if
lens in camera doesn't appear and then disappear after taking the picture. If eye
is analogous to camera and camera film as the human brain, it would be said
that the eye of camera which was earlier closed, opens ... Shutter falls (
functioning of shutter is equivalent to the blinking of lashes), lens captures
the image and transfers it on to the brain screen.
Is not the act of camera and eye
similar to hide and seek ...? If yes, then how camera lens saw the grandmother
who was not present physically...? And the moment eye twinkled, grandmother
disappeared.
I am watching an object with open
eyes, the pupil works like a camera lens, the lashes blink like a shutter and
then what happened...? Then what happened...? Solve the puzzle.
2. Also consider that our conscious is suspended.
We are sleeping. No sooner we shut the eyes than the other eye which is inside
us ... opens. We do everything which we do when we are awake. Our physical body
is unaware and conscious is suspended. Whether the bed is soft or hard, we
sleep and while sleeping we remain unaware of the surroundings.
3. In the dream we are enjoying picnic with
friends. We have fish, Kebabs, sandwiches, Biryani and various other food items
on paper plates along with soft drinks. Is there any difference between the two
states, sleep and awake ... if yes then what is that?
Dear
readers, I explained you a fact from the teachings of my teacher, Huzoor
Qalandar Baba Aulia (Rah), from three diverse aspects.
There
are 23 classes taught in spiritual sciences. In spiritual sciences, knowledge
is learnt in three ways. Tasawwuf terms them as:
1- Ijmaal
( Summary)
2- Tafseel
(Explanation)
3- Asrar
(Secrets)
If readers thoroughly read
"Message of the day", these three aspects will illuminate minds.
Inshallah.
Read it thrice if the secrets don't
unfold and write to us whatever you understood.
Allah
