Mankind
is in search of knowledge, however, they are knowledge themselves. God created
the statue of Adam (PBUH) and within its structure placed all those attributes
through which mankind can attain the knowledge of the formulae of creation.
Mankind is a statue made out of innumerable waves. What we think of as dust, is
a collection of waves and that which we call light is also a wave. The waves
are threads interwoven as warp and weft, which create layers, and these layers
are garments. Each of these layers emits different frequencies of energy,
thereby activating movement – until there is energy, the threads of the garment
remain integrated. The layer, be it of dust, colour, or light, is made of
waves, and waves are knowledge. Therefore, humans, formed out of these waves
are also knowledge.
When humans think of knowledge
as separate from them, fictional point of views are created and when they
think of themselves as knowledge and contemplate themselves, they realise that
they are the universe themselves. God created mankind as Ahsan-e-Taqweem
(best of the best stature) – that is, created out of the best proportions.
Humans are bestowed with the inheritance of Father Adam (PBUH). There are as
many layers as there are worlds in this universe. Each layer is a garment of
some world. As humans are Ahsan-e-Taqweem, every layer (garment) in the
universe is present in them, and they can enter any world through this
knowledge. In the world of dust, they wear the garment of dust and after their
death, they are transferred to the Aaraf (hereafter) and wear the
garment of that realm.

Whatever
exists is nothing but knowledge. Seeing, hearing, understanding, and speaking
are all branches of knowledge. The sight observes something when one has
knowledge of it, however, if there is no knowledge then the sight does not see.
Every creature is made out of waves; however, we are unable to see the waves
because we do not want to learn the knowledge of the waves.
There
are three stages of knowledge:
1. Ilm-ul-Yaqeen (Certitude of Knowledge)
2. Ain-ul-Yaqeen (Certitude of Sight)
3. Haq-ul-Yaqeen (Absolute Certitude)
In all
three stages, knowledge is subject to certitude. If one does not have the right
information on the existence of something, or if they have not seen it as it is
in reality, and they are unaware of its creative formulae, then their knowledge
becomes illusory. Illusory knowledge is that which takes mankind far from
reality and they see what does not exist. Unless and until mankind sees the
world that is within them, hears their inner voice, understands through inner
comprehension, and instead speak the language that is not aligned to their
inner, they will remain illusory themselves as they are not aware of their own
selves.
من عرف نفسہ فقد عرفہ ربہ
(Whoever knows their self, knows their Lord.)

Illusion
or reality is not on the outside, it is inside. One thinks that things vary, or
that the scenes change, that the day enters the night and the night becomes
day, and that the sun rises in the east and sets in the west. The truth is that
the scenes do not change, rather, the mind of the observer changes. The
state and composition in which the creations are, are maintained as they are.
The reason why we see them change is that we have no knowledge of the
foundation upon which day, night, and the other scenes are based.
Law:
When
the sight shifts from the foundation, the mind is encased in illusion.
Whatever
a person sees, they see inside. Whatever they hear, they hear inside. One is
able to see the earth, sky, moon, sun, stars, mountains, plants, flowers,
colours, and light on the screen of their mind only when their attributes and
the ability to see them are present. This means the status of creatures is
nothing but knowledge. Seeing, hearing, understanding, and speaking are
branches of knowledge. First, the attributes of the creature are transferred or
activated, and it is then that a person sees, or else they do not see. For one
to be able to see, it is important to have an attribute of seeing, for one’s
abilities are related to the attributes. Humans are that knowledge, that was given
the awareness of the creative formulae of the universe by God Almighty.
“And hath made of service unto you whatsoever is in the
heavens and whatsoever is in the earth; it is all from Him. Lo! herein verily
are portents for a people who reflect.” (Quran, 45:13)
***
All those things that are visible and invisible are knowledge. A glass
of water is placed on a table. Water, glass, and table are
all knowledge. By knowledge, it is to say that their formula of creation is
different from each other. The identity of the creatures that we see or do not
see in the heavens and earth, is nothing but the fact that they are all
formulae (knowledge).
Respected readers! Thank you very much. Read the Message of the
Day with an open mind. Let the mind be free from illusion.
Humans
are knowledge based on innumerable layers; a knowledge that comes from
somewhere, appears, and then disappears. When the knowledge descends from its
source or record, it passes through all the layers present in the universe. The
knowledge becomes apparent to humans in the layer which they experience
knowledge consciously, that is, they witness themselves awake in that layer.
The remaining layers remain dormant.
Humans are moving from ghaib (unseen) to the zahir
(apparent) and to the ghaib again from the time they are born until they
die. They arrive from the unseen and are hidden in the unseen. Humans do not
reside only in this world, rather, they inhabit all the layers and the worlds
that are connected to these layers. Humans are knowledge and their existence is
also knowledge, hence, the paths or worlds that they pass through before their
appearance on earth (a screen) and enter into the conscious, are the very
same paths that they pass through subconsciously too. What would happen if
they became aware of their arrival and exit?
Seeing
a dream is an example that befits this. In a dream, one eats, drinks, sleeps,
wakes up, and sometimes it becomes mandatory upon them to take shower after
seeing a wet dream. Likewise, when witnessing a nightmare, one’s body trembles
and they wake up terrified and drenched in sweat. It is worth contemplating why
one is fearful or happy when one watches a dream.

Revered sisters and brothers, honourable friends and elders! The
existence of the various worlds is based on the belt of thoughts. There is
meaning in every thought. Every meaning operates on two existences or two
directions, for example, hot and cold, sweet and sour, pleasant and obnoxious,
happiness and sorrow, existence and non-existence, birth and death. Death
means, transference. A day-old child and a 60-year-old man keep shifting into
time; and after coming out of time, they once again transfer back into time. In
the Holy Quran, God Almighty has stated that everything comes from Him and
everything goes back to Him.
Honourable
ladies and gentlemen! The secrets written by the tip of the pen in the Message
of the Day are written through the flow of inspiration. Read them with
focus and also hand out photocopies of the same to your friends so that they
may read too. May God Almighty accept your service. Amen.
May God
protect you.
