Mode of Discernmet


Mode of Discernment (Traz-e-Tafheem) can be achieved by habituating to sleep for one, two or at the most, two and half hours per round of a clock and by remaining awake for the rest of time. The mode of discernment is also termed by the Sufis as ‘Prambulation’ (sair) or ‘Openness’ (fatah).

 Muraqbah for the Discernment should be performed after midnight. Man’s routine is to awake after sleeping and to sleep after remaining awake. He likes to sleep during the hours of night and lives through the day remaining awake. This routine develops to be his second nature. Mind’s duty is to see and it does so through sight. In fact sight is nothing but mind. During the state of wakefulness mind sees, hears and comprehends everything in its surroundings. This process remains in operation even in the state of sleep through the impressions vary in their lasting effects. When impressions are deep and lasting memory can recapitulate them after awakening but the light impressions are forgotten by the mind. For this reason we fail to acquaint ourselves with the whole atmosphere which is present before us during the state of sleep.

Loh O Qalam

Qalandar Baba Auliay (R.A)

Alshaikh Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi, Chief Editor of the monthly Roohani Digest, the renowned spiritual scholar, founder of the chain of Muraqba Halls the world over has had the honour of learning the spiritual sciences from his spiritual mentor, His Divine Grace Qalander Baba Auliya, the sage of this age. In order to teach him the spiritual sciences Qalander Baba Auliya made Alshaikh Azeemi to pen down the words that he used to narrate. Alshaikh Azeemi being a devoted disciple not only noted the contents but also did his best to understand what he was taught. The eventual out come of his dedicated work took the form of the ‘Loh-o-Qalum’, the first ever book that comprises the whole syllabus of the spiritual science. Who else was more suitable to explain the contents of this document but Alshaikh Azeemi, the very able student of Qalander Baba Auliya. Dissemination of that knowledge, which is the legacy of prophets and had reached him in disciplic succession, has become an obsession for Alshaikh Azeemi because, according to him, this knowledge is the only elixir and the antidote for the ailing humanity in present times.
