Speech by
Mr. Azeemi on the occasion on Adam Day 2023, addressing the participants in
Pakistan, Britain, Canada, United States of America, United Arab Emirates, and
other countries.
In the name of God, the Most
Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Fortune favours the respectful,
misfortune befalls the disrespectful
Peace Be Upon You,
May God’s blessings shower
upon us. In this world and
in the countless other worlds that coexist with this world, may God grant us
the ability to fulfil the actions that God has decreed through the Prophets
(PBUT). It is said that 124,000 Prophets (PBUT) came into this world, and they
proclaimed that God is the Lord of all creation in the universe. God wanted to
be cognised, and for this, it was essential for other beings to exist other than
the Lord of the universe.
We are all offspring of one
mother and father. Even when the descendant (mankind) of Adam and Eve (PBUT)
are among thousands of other creations, one can identify them by their distinct
features, colour, looks, and natural form, and every individual in mankind can
recognise them as their fellow beings. The heat and chill in the weather bring
in variations in the features of individuals, however, these changes bring our
focus to the fact that despite these differences, other individuals are our
siblings and all offspring of Adam and Eve (PBUT).
The Divine laws shared by the
Prophets (PBUT) for mankind on the ways of societal living are inscribed in
clear words on the screens of our minds. God stated to the last Prophet
Muhammad (PBUH) in the Heavenly Scripture, the Quran,
“Say (O Muhammad): We
believe in God and that which is revealed unto us and that which was revealed
unto Abraham and Ishmael and Isaac and Jacob and the tribes, and that which was
vouchsafed unto Moses and Jesus and the prophets from their Lord. We make no
distinction between any of them, and unto Him we have surrendered.” (Quran, 3:84)
***
The process of identifying an
individual from mankind amongst the millions of other species is instantaneous,
and therefore, when one sees a descendant of Adam and Eve (PBUT), one
automatically declares them as a member of mankind. Due to the attraction that
is present in their relationship with Adam (PBUH), the sons, and daughters of
Adam (PBUH) feel the same attraction in their connection with each other that
is established through the common lineage. When one comes from the unseen realm
into the visible or apparent realm, that is, this world, every individual in
mankind proclaims, “These are my sons and daughters, my brothers and sisters.”
When one contemplates the system of the universe
mentioned in the Heavenly Scriptures, one observes that there are two sides to
every species, including mankind. While one side is male, the other is female.
And this formula of male and female is subjected to the collective programme
(process of creation) of the male and female in every species.
It is very thought-provoking
to think about where Adam and Eve (PBUT) were before their birth. Along with
this, hidden under the veils inside the heart, is another question – on the one
hand, the days in the life of the descendants of Adam (PBUH) are disappearing,
and on the other, they are appearing on the belt where things hide, disappear,
and appear. The series of appearing and disappearing commenced with Adam and
Eve (PBUT) and has been established since. When a day-old infant appears on the
screen of Earth, the second day is not mentioned until the first day is
hidden, and in this very same way, the 11th day is not mentioned
until the 10 preceding days
disappear.
What I
intend to say is that all the offspring of Adam and Eve (PBUT) are established
on the belt of unseen and seen, and vice versa. The veil of the unseen
conceals an individual inside it and brings forth and displays that which is
visible inside the unseen. To understand this, the sons and daughters of Adam
and Eve (PBUT) must be aware that they are operating on a belt where they are
hidden, become unseen, then become visible again, only to become unseen after a
while of being visible.
What is
the equation when we say that one is unseen after being visible?
When we look for a day-old
infant in someone despite them being 20* years of age, we see nothing but their
external existence – the physical body. In the end, the individual who is
visible on earth, interchanges between being unseen and seen, seen and unseen,
and finally disappears from this world. Disappearing behind the veil and
appearing from behind the veil, the growth of something small and the shrinking
and disappearance of something large. The features becoming prominent and the
states of life show that, when an infant appeared on earth, it appeared from
the unseen and when the infant is two days old, the first day disappears. When
childhood disappears, adulthood appears, and when adulthood appears in the form
of old age, then?
Respected ladies and
gentlemen, when we consider our relationship through Adam and Eve (PBUT), I am
your brother, your son, your grandson, or whatever relationship you wish to
refer to me with. Like the prayer beads, every relationship is a bead, the
second relationship is the second prayer bead, the third relationship is the
third prayer bead, and the fourth relationship is the fourth prayer bead. One
bead is the father, the second bead is the mother, the third bead is the son or
daughter, and the fourth bead is the grandchild.
The decrease and increase in
age are due to the process of the unseen and the seen. When an infant appears,
we refer to it as birth, however, what of when two days disappear and a third
day appears? Allow this subject to create movement in the veils of your mind
and a secret will be revealed to you, a secret which even when we see, we do
not see.
***
Before being manifested on the
earth, where did Adam and Eve (PBUT) exist? And
despite being present here, the belt of time where the first day disappears and
the second day appears, the second day disappears and the third day appears,
the third day disappears and the fourth day appears, is still operational. This
is why we say that a person is 50 years old, 100 years old, or an infant that
is 10 days old. And in the end, the infant returns to the very same realm that
it appeared from on earth. The present-day is hidden in the veil of yesterday.
This game of hide and seek is life. And life is a sequence of the seen and the
unseen. Which zone were we in before we were born, and after we appeared on
earth, where does each day, month, and year get hidden? Be it the age of
infancy, childhood, adolescence, adulthood, or old age, the game of life is
operative on the screen of seen and unseen.
Dear
elders, friends, brothers, and sisters, this secret that has been revealed, is
in fact not a secret, rather, it has been made a secret. This is because, no
one is unaware that the world from where all the offspring and descendants of
Adam and Eve (PBUH) arrived on earth and is unseen for us, is not really
unseen. Is mankind themselves not an unending daily series of appearance and
disappearance?
When ten days are hidden, we
are happy that an infant is ten days old. Are the ten days that we celebrate
not a thick veil? When infancy goes into hiding, childhood appears, and then
when old age goes into hiding, tell me, where did mankind come from and after
spending months and years, where do they disappear to?
Every city and community have
a hidden population, and everyone knows what it is called. Whoever enters this
place, does not come back, however, their memories remain intact. Before birth,
every creation is covered by a veil of the unseen. When the veil is lifted, a
film is displayed on the screen. Pay attention, is this life, not a film? Is
the earth, not a screen?

Respected attendees and
distinguished guests,
A spiritual person is aware of
where mankind existed before arriving in this world, where a day goes, and the
fact that in the end, this game of hide and seek disappears from the screen of
this world and after transferring into a different world, appears on the screen
of that world. It returns to the place it has come from.
“Every creature has come from
God and is returning to God.”
Respected ladies and
gentlemen! By virtue of being descendants of Adam and Eve (PBUH), we are all
brothers and sisters. There are different branches of knowledge; one among them
is the knowledge of internal observations. However, every knowledge is founded
upon the seen and the unseen. Until one feels thirsty, the requirement of thirst
is the knowledge of the unseen. Drinking water to quench one’s thirst is the
knowledge of the seen. However, this knowledge of the seen is such that the
requirements of the creations are consistently active in the form of blood
within their veins and arteries. When this whole process stops, then an
individual or creature is a dead body. A dead body is a state or is analogous
to a toy, in which the activity is entirely dependent on the system of the
unseen and seen. Life manifests and hides behind the veils of the unseen
because every human being uses the knowledge of arrival and departure at all
times.
There is a practice in
spirituality that assists in getting acquainted with the inner observations of
the physical body. Everyone can observe this; not just observe but rather their
entire lives become an observation.
Practise: Sit in a
comfortable position. Close your eyes and visualise that there is blue light
all around you. That is, you are sitting in the blue light.
The duration of this
visualisation should be 15 minutes. Apart from practicing now, continue the
practice at home too for 15 days.
You attended the “Adam Day”
ceremony, and honoured us all.
May God shower you with worldly and
spiritual blessings. Thank you very much.
Do practice the exercise that
was shared. About the outcome – we can say that the outcome will reveal itself
upon you. Note down the observations and send them to Qalandar Shaoor
Monthly.
May God protect you.
