When someone using all his concentrative
abilities focuses his attention on a point and ponders with deliberation his
sight attains that depth which helps him to explore all the hidden and latent
potentialities of that point upon which he is concentrating. When more depth
resulting from persistent concentration is achieved the point starts
manifesting techniques and methods to make its use. After discovering the
hidden forces of that point one observe that, how the galaxies system are
peregrinating along with us in this vast expanse of the cosmos. It comes to our
knowledge that every existing things is based upon a network of waves. We and
our universe is nothing but a conglomeration of waves. Everything in this
phenomenal world whether it is water, tree, plant, man, stone, rock, quadruped,
bird, beast, energy, oxygen, atom or its molecule is enveloped in a ring of
light, that is, everything is enclosed in a shell of lights. When, through
ponderous contemplation this cover of lights is penetrated and something is
taken into the focus of sight the first thing that is discovered by the sight
is the energy contained therein. When depth is produced in the sight the second
thing that transpires is the use of that energy. When more depth is achieved
that energy is discovered in the form of a manifestation. Hiroshima and
Nagasaki are living examples of exhibition of energy of atom. This energy was
displayed when atom bombs were dropped upon these cities. The display of energy
of atom was so complete that the hill that was struck with the atomic bomb transformed
into smoke. People couldn't believe their eyes but when those hills were
physically felt it was found that the hills do not exist any longer and only
smoke of the hills is there. Now the question is that who traced that energy,
who used it and who was affected by this display of energy.
The answer to this question is quite
simple. Man discovered the energy of atom, man used it and it was again man
himself who suffered the consequences of the destructive use of this energy.
Had this power been used for the constructive purposes man would have enjoyed
its benefits. We would be justified in concluding that the energy present in
atom is the creation of God, the most high, and God taught the method of its
use to man. Logical conclusion is that God has ordained man with that much
ability and capability that he can use the energy of the atom according to his
will and choice. It would not be out of place to mention that Creator is anyhow
more powerful, more potent and more effective than his creation. When the human
role as a creator of the atomic energy is taken into consideration we cannot
conclude anything else but that God has granted those hidden powers and latent
potentialities to man which render, upon comparison, even the atomic power
insignificant. The only thing that matters is the use of the atomic power i.e.
we discover those qualities of atom which result in destruction or search for
those waves in atom which are useful for the construction and improvement in
the quality of man's life on this planet, earth.
Everything is based upon waves and human
beings are no exception to it, so human existence also depends upon the waves.
Contemplation regarding the existence of human being because of waves enables
us to explore the creative abilities incorporated in man. Just as the atom is a
point filled with a thriving power which if used by a destructive mind can
destroy cities in second and turn the earth upside down and if this power is
used with a constructive approach then it can be used for producing electricity;
the electricity which is the most vital functioning force for operating our
inventions. Similarly, there is an atom; an unadvisable point in man which
possesses incalculable energies. When this point is unraveled, man after rising
above the dependency of material means and sources, starts witnessing,
obviously spiritually, those formulae from which the suns are produced, moons
are created, heavens are established and embedded with stars and the movement
of the earth is regulated.
Example: - We know that for making syrup we
are required to dissolve sugar in adequate quantity in water. If flavor is
added to this solution it will give us flavored syrup. If color is added to
this solution the syrup will become good looking too. And, if some medicine
with refreshing effect is also added to it, it will become medicinal syrup.
Baking of bread is also based upon a formula. When bread is mentioned all the
actions relating to it, manufacturing automatically come under consideration.
This include sowing of wheat, the influence of the waves and lights circulating
in the earth affecting the wheat-seed, mixing of waves operative in seeds with
the one circulating in the earth, ripening of wheat because of sunlight and
moonlight caring for sweetness in it, maturity of seed, its grinding in the
mill, preparing of dough after mixing water in it and finally the baking of the
mixture with the help of the fire. All these factors play their respective
roles in the preparation of bread. Very ordinarily stated words 'have some
bread' by someone might be intriguing for the one who contemplates, what bread
is and how does it come into being? Just like this one point of considered
deliberation man is also a point worthy of contemplation. When this point is
discovered after penetrating and breaking down its code one witnesses all the
wonders that have been called the cosmos by the Lord Creator. Record of man's
all generations, rather the whole record of human beings, jinn’s and their
whole species, angels, heavens, hills and paradise, the High Throne and, to sum
up, even the Lord Creator Allah Himself is found there in this point. When this
point opens man reaches his ultimate aim and object rising, step by step, in
his observation. The ultimate aimed object of man's pursuit is nothing but
Allah, the most high. This point, in Sufism, is called 'fawad' (the Heart). It
is the same Heart that has been declared the abode and the house of Allah. The
Heart that never lies or falsifies facts, all that it witnesses is the reality.
It observes the Lord Creator, the Fashioner of the worlds, and the Creator
keeps this Heart in His sight, the Heart where Allah, the most sublime,
resides.
Fawad, infect, is the only faculty through
which one can succeed in having the cognition of the Lord Creator after having
heartfelt understanding of the signs of God.

When any branch of knowledge is taken into
consideration, two things, because of their significance, immediately become
important. The first one is theoretical knowledge, which we possess about that
particular branch of knowledge and in its final stage practical demonstration
and implementation of that branch of knowledge is observed. In other words,
knowledge is the name given to the combination of theory and practice. Like any
other branch of knowledge, the spiritual sciences, too, are no exception to this
rule, that is, after learning and Rules, Laws, Principle and Formulae
Theoretically; they are tested, analyzed and examined practically. There are
two possible ways of learning and acquiring knowledge. One method is to learn
the theory first and then to use the learnt formulae, principles and laws
practically. The other method is to start learning through practical
experiments directly.
