Question: Is it true that most of the
students of metaphysical and occult sciences are those who are young and
haven't attained maturity. Whereas the grown up mature people, scholars and
intellectuals and those who have a rational approach, are extremists cannot
learn
these sciences'?
Answer: Human mind, one of the most perfect
creations of Allah, The most Exalted, is such a fertile land In which trees or
various types and genus grow. Trees that grow on the soil of the mind are
denominated as different sciences and these are in such a great numbers that
their counting is almost impossible. In these sciences the metaphysical and
occult sciences have their
own position. The metaphysical sciences are
also known as spiritual sciences or spiritualism.
A green branch of a tree can be used for
beneficial aims and objectives whereas a dry and worm eaten wood can't be used
as fuel.
Young lads and ladies are like green
branches of trees whereas the old and seasoned people are like dry hard wood as
far as learning of any science is concerned.
Psychologists and the masters of
metaphysical sciences, in the light of their observations and experiences,
declaring the basic reason for this, say that for learning spiritual science a
soft nature, tender heart and an unencumbered mind are basic requirements.
With growth or age alter confining in the
shell of his own specific ideologies one grows to be narrow-minded and
harsh hearted and declares his
self-conceived ideologies as life. Whereas spiritualism does not acknowledge
this type of approach altogether.
It is a straight forward fact that no one
can learn from one's teacher unless one is not ready to accept what one's
teacher tells, as last and final verdict. If a Child is not ready to accept 'a'
as 'a' he will never be able to learn the alphabet.
Young students and innocent ladies succeed
soon in learning these sciences because they do not have its and buts nor do
they adhere to any rigid ideas. They simply accept what they are told to accept
and old people despite submitting themselves to a spiritual teacher in the
light of their particular ideologies and firm thinking approach try to adjudge
the instructions of the teacher and try to analyze a knowledge whose a b c is
not known to them in the light of logic and philosophy.
This approach spoils their efforts and they
cannot advance. This fact remains hidden from them that where the limit of
logic and philosophy ends the limits of spiritual and metaphysical sciences
begins.
This thing should be kept in mind by all
those who are desirous of learning metaphysical sciences that limiting
ideologies, extremist approach and considering oneself master of a field with
an inflated sense of their abilities are only indicative of their faulty
approach which can only hinder in having an undistracted and free mind.
When someone is deprived of the blessing of
having a liberal and unbiased approach, doubts and whims swallow up the natural
abilities bestowed upon them after gripping the mind in their clutches.
This is the same sad situation about which
Allah the most exalted has declared in the Holy Quran.
"Allah has put seals on their hearts
and ears and there is veil on their eyes and verily there is severe retribution
for them." (Surah 2 Verse 7)”.

His Divine Grace Qalander Baba Auliya
writes in his valuable work 'Tazkira Tajuddin Baba" (An Account of
Tajuddin Baba Auliya).
"Human beings are conversant with the
act of 'articulation' from the very beginning. In talking, the sound waves with
predetermined meanings convey the information 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 method. 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 the 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."
