Marhata Raja Ragho Rao used to have great
respect for Baba Sahib. "Whenever he would come to him or request
something, his style was that of a mortal submitting something before the gods.
Once Maharaja said, to the great spiritual scientist of his times.
“The creatures that are invisible; like
angels and jinni, we have reportedly been informed about such things. All the
divine books have mentioned one thing or the other about such creatures.
Concept of evil spirits is also found in every religion but due to lack of
logical and scientific explanation, people with rational approach hesitate to
acknowledge any proper understanding A this regard. Experiences in this regard
are also on individual level, not on the collective level. If you could throw
some light on this issue."
Whatsoever was stated in reply to the
Raja's query by Baba Tajuddin is evident of the fact that nature whispers its
secrets to those who care to listen to such. whisperings. When this question
was asked, Tajuddin Baba was reclining against a pillow, and gazing towards the
sky. He said, "Well, we are all familiar with the heavenly bodies like
stars and there is seldom a night when the sky embedded with stars is not
observed by us. It is quite interesting to note that we say that we are
witnessing the stars, we are familiar with the celestial bodies but in fact
what is being witnessed and which realm of the heavenly bodies is known to us,
its explanation is beyond our abilities. Whatsoever that is stated in this
regard is not more than conjectures but still we consider that we know.
Isn't it strange that when we claim to know
something we do not bother to think whether there is any truth in this claim or
not?"
“Try to understand what I am saying then
tell how limited is man’s knowledge. Man, in spite of the fact that he bows
nothing believes that he knows too much. Forget about the stars and the
heavenly bodies, these are distant objects. Let us examine the case of those
things that are near to man and remain in his experience frequently. We are
acquainted with the rise of day. What the day is? What is the meaning and
purpose of the dawning of the day? What is this cycle of days and nights? We
know nothing. The only statement made in this regard is that this is the day
and then the night follows it. Or vice versa. This is the practice of
mankind."
"Ragho Rao! just consider, can this
answer satisfy a serious minded person? The day and night are not invisible
phenomena like angels and jinni. These are one of those manifestations which
cannot be denied.
You might be saying that the day and night
are believable because they can be witnessed. But don't forget the function of
thinking operative behind the sight. The tongue cannot tell anything about the
things seen if thinking is not operative to support it."
“The relation between thinking and sight is
clear enough. The whole process, in fact, is nothing but thinking. Without
thinking, sight is merely an inarticulate silhouette. Thinking is the basis and
origin of all our experiences. Similar is the case of other senses.
All the senses are deaf, dumb and blind if
thinking is not functional behind them."
"Thinking gives meanings to the
perceiving senses. Ordinarily it is considered that the senses and the thinking
are two different things but actually it is not so. Man is only a set of
thoughts, or to say, he is nothing but a pattern of thinking. Similarly the
angels, jinni and every creature having any awareness of its surroundings
merely is a pattern of thinking."
"During the course of this discussion
we happened to reach such a point where many secrets of the cosmos would
reveal." He said, and continued, "Listen carefully, many things keep
on emerging in our thoughts. These things enter our thoughts from the outside.
In fact, man keeps on accepting the influence of thinking of other creatures
just as he is affected by the thinking of other fellow human beings. Nature
keeps on feeding the limited thinking from the limitless thinking. If it would
not have been so the relationship existing between the individuals of the
universe would have perished. It is the divine scheme of mother nature that
thinking of the one should be affecting the thinking of others.
Man is incarcerated in dust, jinni are
silhouettes and the angels are the thoughts confined in most subtle achromatic
light known as noor. All these three types of thinkings are the universe. If
they do not remain in contact with one another and the waves of one's thinking are
not received by the other, the link would naturally be disintegrated and the
cosmos would collapse eventually."
"To prove it, it could be said, that
in our thinking we are quite familiar with the silhouettes and other things
similar to them and besides that we are also mentally acquainted with things
embodied with Sight and its various forms although our own experiences are
associated with the material realm of the dust.
In general terms thinking is denominated as
'ego'. This ego or thinking pattern is a conglomeration of such conditions that
are collectively known as 'individual'.
The stars and the particles are the
creation of similar type. Either it does not occur to us altogether or we are
not fully conscious of this fact that exchange of thoughts, keeps on taking
place between stars, planets, particles and all the creatures contribute a lot
in our thinking and the waves of our thinking also contribute in their
thoughts. In fact the whole universe is like a family busily exchanging
thoughts between its individuals. The jinni and angels are more close to us in
their thinking patterns and, therefore, they are more habituated with us."
Tajuddin Baba Auliya said, still staring at
the sky, "we are connected to the galaxial systems and have an established
link with them. The thoughts that keep on emerging in our mind reach us from
far off distant inhabiting systems through the light. Light waves carry the
different pictorial representations of thoughts that are termed fantasy, idea,
imagination and thinking etc. We consider them to be our own whims or thoughts
but in fact it not so.
Thinking patterns of all the creatures have
a common point and the very common point after collecting all the pictorial
representations of thoughts inform us about them. This knowledge depends upon
the conscious of the individuals and the species. The pictorial representations
are molded into that pattern which is adopted by the conscious according to the
values of its ego.
Here it would not be out of place to
mention that three types of creatures resemble the most in their behavior and
attitude and these have been mentioned as man, angels and jinni in the Holy
Quran.
These three species are found in all the
galaxial systems of the cosmos. Nature has devised such a system that all these
three species have become the creative workers. The waves of creation are
dispersed in the universe from their minds and when these waves reach at a
certain point after covering specific distance a phenomenon or a manifestation
comes into being."
"As I have already said, thinking, ego
and person are one and the same thing. Because of the difference of the words
they may appear to be different things but they are not. Now the question is
what this person, ego or the thinking pattern is? It is that entity which is
made up of incalculable forms and figures of moods, conditions, states,
feelings and faculties. Sight, hearing, articulation, love, pity, sacrifice,
plight, ambulation etcetera, each of these states has a particular form and
figure.
In fact, nature has collected such
countless forms and figures in one single capsule in such a manner that despite
retaining their individuality these forms have been shaped into one single
body. Thus a man has thousands of layers all encased in one single body. Similar
is the case of the angels and jinni. This type of formation is specified for
them only because they have more layers than any other creature of the
universe. In the universe there are uni-layered as well as multi-layered
Species though the numbers of the layers in one species are always the same.
Man is inhabiting inestimable planets and
the variety of their types is unimaginably large and the same can be stated
about the angels and jinni. Each stratum of man, angel or that of a jinn is an
everlasting state. Some of the strata are ostensibly bright and vibrant and
some remain latent.
When me movement of a stratum becomes
manifested, it enters the conscious whereas when it is latent it remains in the
unconscious. Results of a manifested movement are termed as inventions or
discoveries by the man but the results of the latent movement do not occur to
the conscious though they are more important and more significant in their
nature. Here this secret demands profound deliberation that the whole universe
is full of manifestations resulting from the latent movement. Now these
manifestations are not the eventual product of the man's unconscious alone. The
latent inner of man could not manage to remain in continuous contact with far
off and remote comers of the cosmos. Man's own characteristics are responsible
for this weakness.
Why has he incarcerated his thinking in
dust? This thing is beyond the comprehension of man's conscious. Any creature
that is handicapped because of the ties of time and space cannot meet the
requirements of the thinking operative on cosmic level, therefore, to fill in
the cosmic gaps angels and jinni were created. In fact the human thinking alone
was not able to produce all those manifestations that were necessary for the
completion of the universe.
Cosmos is the name of spatio-temporal
distances formed by the varying intermingled waves of the ego. Time and space,
in fact, are two different forms of this variation.
The result of intermingling of waves and
the basis of all the manifestations is 'dukhan' about which our knowledge is in
its infancy. Here 'Dukhan' is not to be taken as smoke. Smoke is visible
whereas dukan' is invisible smoke. Man is the product of positive 'dukhan' and
jinni are that of the negative 'dukhan". Whereas the angel is produced
from the essence of both of these.
These three ingredients are the foundations
of the visible and invisible realms of the cosmos that would remain devoid of
any undulation without them resulting in non-existence of our conscious and
unconscious away from life. A queer relationship exists between these three
species. One of the states of the positive 'dukhan is the sweetness circulating
in large quantity in the human blood. The negative state of 'dukhan' is known
as salinity. Large quantity of salt is found in jinni. Angels are the
compounded form of both of these two states. If the positive state is decreased
in man and the negative state of 'dukhan' i.e.
salt is increased then the abilities of
jinni are aroused in man and he starts behaving like jinni. If the positive
stme of 'dukhan' i.e. sugar is increased and the negative state of 'dukhan'
i.e. salt is reduced in jinni then gravity will be produced in it resulting the
production of weight in them and their physical embodiment. This law is equally
valid for angels too. If the positive and negative both surges above the
appointed level, then because of the positive 'dukhan' it can produce the human
qualities and because of the negative 'dukhan' the qualities of the jinni are
produced in angels.
Similarly if the positive and negative
states of 'dukhan' are decreased in man from the fixed level, he would start
behaving like an angel. Method is quite Simple and easy. By reducing the
routine intakes of salt and sugar one can be emancipated temporarily from
spatiotemporal restriction like angels. And, by reducing the quantity of sugar
only the spatiotemporal restrictions can be avoided like jinni. But for acting
upon any of such methods guidance of a spiritual person is extremely
necessary."
The founder of the Qalander Conscious and
the grandson of Hazrat Tajuddin Baba Nagpuri, Qalander Baba Auliya has stated
an event of the regardful ness of a lion and has given its scientific
explanation thereof. He states, Once, grandfather, Tajuddin climbed a hill in
the jungle of Waki Sharif (India) with a few others. When someone hinted about
the presence of lions in the jungle, he smilingly said that he who fears the
lion may go back while he himself intends to rest there for a while and most
probably the lion would come but don't bother and let him stay.
Few of us hid ourselves in the nearby trees
and bushes and most left the scene for their good. It was the summer season,
cool breeze and the shade of the foliage were intoxicatingly tranquil, grandfather
chose to lie down on the thick grass and closed his eyes.
It wasn't long before that the fright of
the jungle grew intense and sense of some-thing-will-happen captured my mind.
I was waiting intently. This waiting wasn't for any Sadhr, Yogi, and Saint or
for any human being, but it was for a beast, who, at least in my mind, was
moving step by step. I was looking towards grandfather, and then, a huge lion
appeared which was climbing up the slope of the hill, very slowly, very
respectfully. It was advancing towards grandfather, with eyes half closed, in
short, when it reached grandfather it licked the feet of grandfather who in the
meantime was sound asleep. The beast closed his eyes in ecstasy and placed his
head on the ground almost touching the feet of grandfather, who was still
sleeping unaware of the presence of the beast. Lion, after gathering his
courage, started licking the feet of grandfather. This woke up grandfather, he
patted the beast on the head and said "You came, I am pleased to see you
healthy, well, and now go!”The lion wagged its tail in gratefulness and took
its leave.
I thought over this incident again and
again, nobody had ever witnessed the lion coming to grandfather before.
Therefore, we have to admit that the lion and grandfather, both were mentally
acquainted with each other.
There is only way for this acquaintance;
the waves of Ego (the thought waves) which interacted between grandfather and
the lion, were the source of their acquaintance and meeting. This is how intuition
takes place in the percipients and cognizers but this incident is evident that
in animals too, intuition takes place. In this regard, man and other creatures
are equally alike.
This law should be remembered with great
consideration that most of the thoughts coming to our mind are not related to
our affairs. They belong to the nearby and far away creatures which exist
somewhere in the universe. The concepts belonging to those creatures come to us
through waves and when we try to establish a link between these thoughts with
our life, we simply fail. Few things are worth considering regarding the waves
of Ego. According to the scientists light is the only thing that has the
maximum velocity but it is not that swift and nimble that it could eliminate the
distances of Time and Space. But the Waves of the Ego (Thoughts) are present
everywhere in the Boundlessness simultaneously gripping the distances of Time
and Space in their clutches. In other words, Time and Space distances do not
exist for these waves, the distance which the light waves have to cover up,
existence of that distance is not even acknowledged by these waves.
Human beings are conversant with the act of
articulation from the very beginning. In talking, the sound waves with
predetermined meanings convey the informations to the listeners. This method is
a duplication of that communication style which takes place between the waves
of Ego.
It is a common observation that a dumb
person conveys everything with a slight movement of his lips and those who are
versed with lip reading understand everything which he desires to convey. This
too, is a replica of the same methods. Animals convey their feelings to their
fellows without producing any sound. In this case, too, the waves of Ego are
operative. Trees also converse and communicate with one another regardless of
distance existing between them. This conversation not only takes place amongst
the nearby trees, but the trees at far off distances also take part in it. The
same law is valid for the minerals as well. Stones, pebbles and the dust
particles also negotiate with one another exactly in the same style.
Many events of prophets and people with
spiritual powers are evident that only one and the same Unconscious is actively
functioning in the whole universe. Every wave of the Seen and the Unseen
understands the meanings of the other thought, even if they are located at the
opposite poles of the universe.
Understanding the significance and
meaningfulness of the Seen and the Unseen is the life essence of the universe.
We, with a considered contemplation about this life essence, which is our own
life essence as well, can explore the conditions and situations of other
planets besides that of our own planet. We can discover the thoughts of men and
animals, can acquaint ourselves with activities of angels and jinni, and know
the internal stimuli of plants and minerals.
Continuous concentration transmutes the
mind into Cosmic Unconscious and the artificial self-adopted shell of our
personality is emancipated from the clutches of Ego and begins to observe and
understand anything required and preserves it in the conscious.
A green and tender branch of a tree tends
to bend easily. We can make use of its elasticity whereas attempt to bend a dry
hard wood seldom yield any results; However, it is an advantageous flow of the
nature and according to the law of Allah.
"Those who strive for Allah, verily
Allah open His ways to them." Taking advantage of this law you can also
learn telepathy after starting the suggested exercises.

Tajuddin Baba Auliya).
