A void is essential for vision. Before the
genesis, all beings were unaware of their selves and
others' selves. Then, there
was genesis of distance, that is space came into being. All Beings
saw the Creator of universe, followed by presence of
themselves and later others.
1.
Universe came into being from
nothingness, time and space were created. Allah said, " الست بربکم" (Am I not your Lord?). Senses of beings were
enabled. Firstly, being was enabled with listening, hence another space is created.
2.
The first instance of
space was the first instance of genesis of universe- reflection
of Allah's mind, when He said 'کن' (Be).
3.
The vision was
enabled followed by attention towards the source of voice.
4.
Awareness to Creator of universe - Allah, was enabled next.
5.
Beings' consent to
Allah, enabled the fifth sense of distance that is speech.
Gradually, faculty of other senses was
enabled, hence became an introduction between the Creator and creation. In
other words, distance is successively grown. There was a
real instant (of time) when the voice was heard, attention was projected. Observation,
perception occurred and consent was made.
Faculties of senses cannot be differentiated
in a voice. It depends on the awareness, how
to differentiate. Despite the singularity of
voice, it takes a while for conscious to grasp the concealed meaning in the
voice, due to its profound nature of
interpretation. Interpretation of voice is done over the successive moments.
This division over moments provides successive awareness.
When a teacher teaches a law, it is not
revealed at the very moment. However, a consent or denial reflects the interpretation,
marked as a state of awareness.
Primary hindrance in clear interpretation at
the very first moment is centuries long evolved conscious growth. That
is evolved successively over grandees, family and individual growth to interpret the voice. The
interpretation of whatever is concealed in the voice becomes observation,
when it is merged onto mind. The
state of mergence is closeness.
A
teacher can define a law loudly or merely depict same on the white board and be
quiet. Though he is silent, but picture narrates itself and we become aware of
the content of picture.
When a
teacher teaches a law. In case, if its interpretation is not depicted on mind,
he exemplifies it. However, if it is depicted in line with the voice, examples
are no longer required.
It
indicates, a successive understanding is a space.
What
is the distance and a space _7 A void, and a void is a light. Light is
existence.
Void = Light = Existence
In
general, a void is lacked of any shape. There is not a single object in the universe
without a shape. Space is a zone, where physiological eye lacks in observing
any object. The unconscious vision perceives void as network of light
pertaining a shape. What is void to eye, is the limitation of visionary system
or conscious observation. This limit is termed as void or vacuum. When Nigah
(internal vision) is enabled , networks of light appear before it. It leads to
awareness of another conscious, called unconscious. Conventional conscious
follows the unconscious.
A lover of the Prophet (PBUH)-
Allama Iqbal articulated in poetry as: There are various worlds beyond the
stars
More tests of love are
yet to come
This vast space does not
lack life
Hundreds of other
caravans are here
Do not be content with
the world of color and smell
There are other gardens,
there are other nests too
What is a worry if one
nest is lost?
There are other places to
sigh and cry for!
You are a falcon, flight
is your vocation
You have other skies
stretching out before you
Do not let mere day and
night ensnare you
There are other times and
spaces belong to you
When
we stare at something- it appears before us. However, we do not seek the reason
behind the visibility and invisibility of object, when we observe them
attentively or inattentively?
In
principle, void has existence, which segregates between the two entities.
It is
mandatory to understand the intricacies behind any phenomenon, no matter how
trivial is the nature of phenomenon. It is mentioned in Quran Kareem,
"Nothing
in the heavens and in the earth, even to the measure of a particle, can escape
Him, nor is there anything smaller than that or bigger, but it is recorded in a
manifest book." (Quran, 34:3)
When
we take something in account, we become aware of it or in other words
observations are conveyed to the mind of observer. That is observer observes the
object by transforming himself into the object's self. We cannot observe the
characteristics of moon, until we transform our self into moon's self or moon's
attributes.
To see
each other, space between the objects is mandatory, if Hamid sees Mehmood,
there must be space between two of them. When we see mirror, we look at ourself
in mirror, or we look at our reflection in mirror. It means that we do not see
ourself, rather how mirror is looking at us. Mirror acts as a space, where
reflection is formed. If there is no reflection, there would be no appearance
of us in mirror.
There
is always a space between two consecutive frames on movie spool stripes.
Otherwise all frames would merge into each other. Each frame has distinct shape
to be projected on cinema screen. Whether it is space between two consecutive
frames or within a frame itself, both exist in a predefined proportion, which
maintains their individual identity.
Two
consecutive words are also void of continuity, whether it is between words in a
sentence or a word itself. It is the void of continuity, which allows us to
utter and understand sensibly each alphabet in a word or a sentence explicitly
and clearly. However, in colloquial flow we do not notice this slight gap.
Law:
Without a void of continuity, neither the time and space would be considered
nor the speaker or listener would be able to comprehend what is uttered!
Ladies
and gentlemen! You may draw a sketch on a plane white paper. Fill colors around
the sketch. One can easily identify the sketch surrounded by the color. If we
wipe out all colors around the sketch, there would be no sketch, rather a plane
white paper. Colors around the sketch resemble the light. Allah's knowledge has
surrounded each object in the universe, as colors did around sketch on paper.
An
observer observes the portion of paper void of color that is sketched. These
sketches are termed as moon, sun, earth, sky, mountain, meadows, rivers, oceans
etc.
When
we see an ocean, we utter, 'it is an ocean'. It is similar to drawing an ocean
sketch on a paper surrounded with colors.
In our
daily life, while walking through a corridor with glass partition, we become
cautious of presence of transparent glass due to a red circle pasted on it. In
the absence of this red circle, sometimes people hit the glass and get
injuries.
Life
is void at one fold and closeness on other fold. Allah said,
"We
certainly belong to Allah, and to Him we are bound to return."
(Quran,
2:156)
At one
fold, void is successively appearing and at the other fold, it is gradually
diminishing. Both actions are performed simultaneously. It increases, when an
object moves away from the core and vice versa. But it is never devoid of
space. A mother hugs her child, apparently there is no gap, but it does exist.
Closeness
is an act of successive devoid. When we think of someone, we are void of his
presence, which we try to fill up by thinking of him. It is upto an individual
whether he fills his void up by worldly filth or by Allah's Noor (a special
kind of light, which is base of universe - extremely lighter than the
conventional light).
Dear ladies and gentlemen! You have listened 'Message of the Day'. Though you listened it by reading to yourself. A viewpoint from teachings of Murshid-e-Kareem Abdaal-e-Haq Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA) is presented before you. There are various queries raised in 'Message of the Day'. Read the article thoroughly twice or thrice, it will unveil many cogent points upon mind. If you are unable to comprehend something, write to 'Monthly Qalandar Shaoor'.
