All the stages of
man's life are lived in small fragments of time equaling to a tiny fraction of
a second, Whole life of man, even if exceeds hundred years, keeps on dividing
into these fractions of time called moments. It is worth considering that in order
to live this life man keeps on joining these fractions of tune in his mind and
the very same fragments are put to use. In our thinking which resembles a
whirl-pool of fragments of time either we advance from one segment of time to
another or revert back from the one to another one.
This could be
understood by considering the following case. One thinks about eating something
but then realizing about one's stomach problem abstains from having anything.
How long will one be able to desist the urge to take something? It is not in
one's knowledge. Similar is the case with every thought. Thoughts, the main
ingredients of one's life, are responsible for one's success or failure in
life. One decides a thing and then abandons it. Sometimes it is abandoned
within few minutes of the decision taken and sometimes it take hours, months or
years to abandon it but ultimately it is abandoned. In other words,
renunciation or repudiation of thoughts and ideas is the main constituent of
man's life because by nature man is easy-going.
Many things are
termed as difficulty, problem, disease, restlessness, lethargy, irritation,
idleness, italicize and in contrast to all these there exists a state which is
called as peace. It cannot be said that all these states are real. Most of
these states, in actual fact, are fictional and unreal and are founded upon
suppositions. It is the structural formation of man's mind that makes him
facile oriented and makes him to avoid the hardships in doing anything. It is
quite obvious that these two are oppositely directed things and man always
keeps on traversing in one of these two directions in his thoughts. Every
movement of man is directed in either of these two directions.
Usually it
happens that we think of doing something, we plan it, we organize it, so much
so that it is completed and we start moving ahead with it but then III of a
sudden a change takes place in our mind. With this change, whole set of our
thoughts undergo a change resulting change in our direction and thus the goal
we were aiming at goes into oblivion. What are we left with? Groping and to
take steps gropingly. It should be clearly understood that we are talking about
the .situation when one is lingering between the certitude and dubiety, doubt
and faith.
We should not be
forgetting that dubiety and certitude are the bases of man's foundation. In
terms of religion the same have been termed as doubt and faith. God forbids
from having doubts and commands us to have certitude and firm faith. It has
been stated in the opening verses of the holy Quran, "Indeed, this Book is
guidance for those who believe the unseen and have certitude about it. The
state of dubiety which has been prohibited by God Almighty is the same state
about which Adam was warned and cautioned to keep away from it. But, Lucifer
ultimately managed to trick Adam into it and made him to eat its fruit which
resulted in Adams expulsion from the Heaven. At that point Adam came to know
about these oppositely directed two states of dubiety and certitude.
In the light of
the above stated facts man's mind is an axle of certitude and dubiety which
remain functioning in the brain cells. The more is the dubiety the more is the
deterioration of the brain cells; the very same cells that are responsible for
the working of all nerves of our body. And, the impulses of the nerves result
in human life.
Believing
something and having certitude is as difficult as getting rid of dubiety and
delusion. Reason is quite simple. Man presents and expresses himself what he
actually is not. He always hides his shortcomings and weaknesses rather boosts
about such hypothetical qualities which he does not possess in actual fact. The
main problem in this regard is that the society in which one grows and is
brought up becomes an article of his faith. His mind loses the ability of
analyzing this belief and the belief turns into such a faith which is nothing
more than a delusion. The main for all this is that man poses himself what he
is not, that is, he expresses himself contrary to his true self.
One is bound to
encounter hardships and difficulties in living such a life. The difficulty for
which he finds no solution mid is unable to resolve them. On every step of his
life, he fears that his efforts would go futile and will yield no results.
Sometimes this fear grows so strong that he starts believing that his whole
life is in danger and is about to suffer destruction. All this happens because
of the deterioration of the brain cells insulting from dubiety and uncertainty.
If the rate of deterioration of brain cells resulting from shifting decisions
and changes in the mind exceeds a limit it creates hindrances on every step of
one's course of action. Actions and deeds prove to be inconsequent and
fruitless causing damage to the nerves.
Man enjoys
control over his mind. He can check the rate of deterioration of the brain
cells with the blessed power of certitude. With reduction of deterioration of
brain cells chances of damage to the nerves also diminish.
Man is a animal
who has somehow learnt the use of fire. This learning eventually laid the
foundations of various sciences. We have discussed, in the book "Rang our
Roshni say Illaj" (Chroma Therapy), man's ability to walk on his hind
limbs and its effect upon the distribution system of lights flowing in him. It
has been elaborated in that book that how is the distribution of lights differ
for man and animals and how does this difference causes them to behave
differently.
In the history of
mankind there had never been a period when the ratio of healthy people have
exceeded than few per thousand. Actually man was required to discover and
explore, as much as it was possible, the types and kinds of lights and to study
their ways of actions and interactions. But he never paid any attention to this
thing and it remained behind a veil. Man never tried to lift this veil either
this veil of lights was non-existing for him or he did not consider it worthy
of his attention. It never occurred to him that he should strive to discover
the rules, laws and formulae concerning the interaction of lights. If man had
followed this course of action he would have succeeded in controlling the wear
tear and deterioration of brain cells. This would have eventually resulted in
his advancement towards certitude. Superfluous beliefs, whims, superstitions
and dubiety would not have tormented him as much as these are causing troubles
for him now. This would have also curtailed the obstacles and hindrances in
receiving and accepting the natural impulses and stimuli. Unfortunately this
did not happen. He did not try to discover the types and kinds of lights nor
did he make any attempt to know the nature and disposition of lights. Even this
much is not known to him that lights too have structural formats and different
characteristics and dispositions. These also display trends and tendencies.
This also is not known to him that the very same lights are responsible for his
life and provide protection of every type to him. He is only aware of that
effigy of clay and dust which has no life of its own and about which it has
been stated by God, Almighty that "Verily man is created from rotton
day". At another occasion, "And, We created man from resounding
clay". Resounding Clay is indicative of the fact that man is an empty
hollow void.
It has been
proclaimed in the holy Quran, "Verily man was not even worthy of
mentioning, We inspired our soul into him and he became a human being with
power to see, hear, speak, understand and feel."
Definition of the
Soul is that it is the Edict of the Lord and the Edict of the Lord is that when
he intends a thing his command is 'to be' and there it 'is' In other words, man
is soul and the soul is the Edict of the Lord. Man's ignorance in this regard
gives rise to dubiety, superstitions and whims resulting in distortion and
disintegration of faith and belief.
According to the
Holy Quran a nation, too, is an individual therefore the same thing happens to
her which is supposed to happen to an individual in consequence of his acts and
deeds. If a nation is suffering from lack of certitude and excess of uncertainty
and dubiety becomes to be her second nature then this thing affects in one of
the two possible ways. If it is of an ascending nature then catastrophes from
the sky way hit the nation and if it is directed towards the earth, earthly
calamities would size the nation.
When catastrophes
and calamities mind up a nation mind and nerves of the whole nation are
affected. In order to remain protected from all this there is no other way
except that the whole nation should have a common pattern of certitude and it
must not be a multidirectional. The very same lesson was preached by the
prophets of God. When a nation is divided into factions and communities of
different patterns of belief dubiety reign the earth resulting into chaos This
chaos triggers the earthly calamities like earthquakes, floods, cyclones,
epidemics. Sometimes riots and civil wars outburst. All this damages and
destroys the nerves of individuals and flic nation this further aggravates the
conditions of general health and diseases of every type emerge and spread.
KHWAJA SHAMS-UD-DEEN AZEEMI
The almost two hundred maladies and dilemmas born of the tempest of doubt and uncertainty are being gathered and presented in this book, along with their solutions. In this book "Spiritual Healing", every ailment and issue addressed has been passed down to me through the divine connection of Owaisian, Qalandari, and Azeemia spiritual sufi orders. I, as a faqeer (humble seeker), have fulfilled the spiritual obligations (zakat) for these practices. I now offer this spiritual grace to Allah’s creatures, and through the intercession of our Last Prophet Muhammad (P.B.U.H.), I earnestly pray that Allah, the Almighty, accepts this effort and grants His servants health, shielding them from hardships, tribulations, and suffering.
