The trouble is that the formation of bones,
muscles and tissues is called Man, by us. This is not that man which is
considered man by nature. This body of flesh and bones could be called, at the
most, an attire of the man. Example:
When we are dead. Our body becomes devoid
of any movement of its own, you may cut this body into pieces, drag it along,
strike it, cast it aside, do anything to it, it will not offer any defense of
its own nor will any movement be initiated by it. There remains not even a
slight chance that it could be revived to life.
Now let us put this example in this way:
If it is desired that the shirt which we
are wearing could make any movement of its own. It is simply not possible. The
shirt moves along with the movements of the body that is wearing it. The sleeve
of the shirt moves along with the movement of the arm present in that sleeve.
If you want to move your arm without causing any movement in the worn sleeve
then this too would be illogical. As long as the sleeve is there on the arm it
is bound to move along with the movement of the arm. The same is the case with
the material body of man. When the body is called "the dress" it is
meant that this material body of flesh and bones is a dress of the soul. As
long as the soul is present the body will be moving along but when the soul is
not present the dress of the soul (Body) is just like a discarded shirt.
Man is composed of two types of urges and
needs. One is the instinctive and the other is natural.
We can control the instinctive urges but as
far as the natural urges are concerned, we can exercise only a partial control
over them. We cannot reject them altogether. A mother, for instance, loves her
child when the child expires the mother after expressing her grief violently,
finally settles down. In ordinary terms mother's love is considered as a
natural urge. This urge in fact is instinctive rather than natural. If this
urge had been natural, the mother would also die with her child or would lose
her senses but it does not happen that way.
When we take the other case of natural
urges like hunger and sleep into consideration, we come to know that one can
adjust his diet for satiating one's appetite but one cannot live without taking
food or water, similarly no one can live awake throughout one's life without
sleeping or the other way round.
In the light of these facts we can say that
the emotions or urges whether they are instinctive or natural are however
related to thoughts. We would remain oblivious of an urge unless it occurs in
the form of thought The senses of sight, hearing, smell, speech and touch will
also remain in obscurity if the thought concerning them is not there.
It is one of the natural urges of man that
he should find out that from where and why the thoughts come to him. And how do
the small segments of thoughts combinatively construct the final pattern of our
life.
In general terms’ thinking is denominated
as "ego". This ego or thinking pattern is a conglomeration of such
conditions that are collectively known as individual. The stars and the
particles are the creation of similar type. Either it does not occur to us
altogether or we are not fully conscious of this fact that exchange of thoughts
keeps on taking place between stars, planets, particles and all the creatures
by means of dunking. The waves of thoughts of these creatures contribute a lot
in our thinking and the waves of our thinking also contribute in their
thoughts. In fact the whole universe is like a family, busily exchanging
thoughts between its individuals. The jinni and angles are more close to us in
their thinking patterns and, therefore, they are more habituated with us.
We are connected to the galaxial systems
and have an established link with them. The thoughts that keep on emerging in
our mind reach us from far off distant inhabiting systems through the light.
Light waves carry the different pictorial representations of thoughts that are
termed fantasy, idea, imagination and thinking etc. We consider them to be our
own whims or thoughts but infect it is not so.
Thinking patterns of all the creature have
a common point and the very common point after collecting all the pictorial
representations of thoughts inform us about them. This knowledge depends upon
the conscious of the individuals and the species. The pictorial representations
are molded into that pattern which is adopted by the conscious according to the
values of its ego.
Here it would not be out of place to
mention that three types of creatures, resemble the most in their behavior and
attitude and these have been mentioned as man, angels and jinni in the Holy
Quran.
These three species are found in all the
galaxial systems of the cosmos. Nature has devised such a system that all these
three species have become the creative workers.
The waves of creation are dispersed in the
universe from their minds and when these waves reach at a certain point after
covering specific distance a phenomenon or a manifestation come into being.
Cosmos is the name of spatio-temporal distances formed by the varying intermingled waves of the ego. Time and Space, in fact, are two different forms of this variation.
This law should be remembered with great
consideration that most of the thoughts coming to our mind are not related to
our affairs. They belong to the nearby and far away creatures existing
somewhere in the universe. The concepts belonging to those creatures come to us
through waves and when we try to establish a link between these thoughts with our
life, we simply fail.
Few things are worth considering regarding
the waves of Ego. According to the scientists, light is the only thing that has
the maximum velocity but it is not that swift and nimble that it could
eliminate the distances of Time and Space. But the Waves of the Ego (thoughts)
are present everywhere in the Boundlessness simultaneously gripping the
distances of Time and Space. Distances do not exist for these in the distance
which the light waves have to cover up, existence of that distance is not even
acknowledged by these waves.
The story of King Solomon and the Queen of
Sheeba as stated in the holy books and scriptures also testifies the same.
In the grand court of King Solomon jinni
and animals besides men, remain present according to ranks and order for
attending any assignment entrusted to them.
Once when the court of King Solomon was
held in all its grandeur and majesty, Solomon noticing the absence of the
Hoopoe, said, "Why is it, I see not the hoopoe? or is he among the
absentees? I will certainly punish him with a severe penalty or execute him
unless he comes up with a clear reason for his absence."
The hoopoe tarried not long, he came up and
in reply to the inquiry of King Solomon submitted "I have come up with
such an information which will certainly not be in your knowledge, that is, in
Yemen there is a Queen of Sheeba. God has provided her with every requisite and
she has a magnificent throne. The Queen and her subject practice the worship of
the sun. Satan has misled them and they do not worship the one and the only God."
King Solomon said, "Soon shall we see whether you have told the truth or
lied. Take this letter of mine and deliver it to them and see what they have to
say about it."
When hoopoe dropped the letter before the
Queen, she was leaving for sun-worshipping. The Queen studied the contents of
the letter and said to her courtiers. "Here is a letter delivered to me,
it is from Solomon and reads," "In the name of Allah, most Gracious,
most Merciful. Be ye not arrogant against me, but come to me in submission to
the True God."
She said, after reading out the letter,
"Ye chiefs advise me in this regard, no affair have I decided without your
consultation." They replied, "There is no need to be afraid as we are
endued with strength and given to vehement war but the command is yours, so
consider what you decide." The queen expressed, "keeping in view, the
way this letter is delivered to us, we should take a considered step in this
regard and I would like to send an embassy to Solomon with gifts and presents.
When the envoys of Queen of Sheeba reached
before Solomon he said, 'Take these presents back and tell your Queen if she
did not acknowledge my message, I shall come to Sheeba with a great army and
they will never be able to defend themselves."
The envoy on their return narrated what
they had seen in the court of King Solomon and told her that Solomon is not
only a ruler of men but Jinni and animals are also ruled and governed by him.
Queen after hearing all this decided to submit and started for King Solomon.
Solomon on learning about her decision said
to his courtiers "I want, before the Queen could reach here, her royal
throne present in this court."
A giant jinni said, "I can bring it
here before the court is adjourned by you." A man who possessed the
knowledge of the Holy Book, on hearing this, said, "I'll bring it here
before you could wink your eye." And Solomon turned and saw the throne of
the Queen present in the court.
For the man's conscious incarcerated in
spatio-temporal restraints it is necessary to understand how could the throne
of Queen Sheeba reach the grand court of King Solomon within a wink of an eye
from the distance of hundreds of miles. In fact the thought waves of the man
with the knowledge of the book became a means of transference of the throne
from the far off distance after infusing into the waves operative in the
throne.
Since times immemorial man is versed with
communication through conversation and talking.
Sound waves with predetermined meanings
inform the listener about the thoughts of the speaker.
This method is a replica of the method of
exchange of thoughts that takes place between the waves of the ego. It has been
observed that even a dumb fellow conveys his thoughts by means of slight
movement of his lips and those who can read his lips understand him completely.
This method is also a duplication of the first one. Then there are animals who
convey their feelings without uttering any sound. In this case too, the waves
of thoughts are exchanged. Trees irrespective of the distance between them
communicate with one another. Inanimate objects like stones, pebbles and rocks
also communicate exactly in the same manner.
In fact only one single conscious is
operative in the whole universe and because of this commonness, every wave of
the seen and unseen realms, even if they are situated on the opposite poles of
the universe, understand the meanings of the other wave. Understanding the
meanings of the waves of the seen and the unseen realms is the most vital
component of the universe. This understanding is equally important for our own
existence. We can observe the situations, conditions and affairs of other
planets besides the one of our own planet; earth, activities of man, animals,
angels, jinni and the various stimuli taking place in plants and inanimate
objects through attention and contemplation. Regular practice of contemplation
transforms our mind into the Cosmic Unconscious enabling us to be liberated
from the limiting ties of our ego and we start observing, comprehending and
preserving anything that is intended to be understood.
This is what we call spiritualism. And,
telepathy is one branch of this body of divine knowledge. Telepathy is the name
of that knowledge which deals with the exchange and transference of thoughts
from one mind to another whereas spiritualism, or to say, parapsychology is
much wider and deeper study of me creative formula and their implementation in
the universe.
In Ghous Ali Shah's renowned book
Tazkira-e-Ghousia, Maulana Gul Hassan reports that once he inquired from Hazrat
Ghous Ali Shah "Sir have you ever been in Love? He said, when we reached
Banaras. My brother Faizul Hassan was there in the police department. It was a
very pleasant meeting. He insisted that I should stay with him but I preferred
to stay in the mosque by the bank of the River Ganges. There was a thoroughfare
nearby. My brother used to visit me there and also send my meals.
One day I was sitting by the wall of the
mosque looking at the passerby. When all of a sudden a young Kashmiri brahman
girl of 14/15 with extra ordinary beauty and enchanting manners came there
along with her companions, I was overwhelmed with passion. She proved to be a
thunderbolt to me. I retired to my room leaving the instructions for my brother
that I was not to be disturbed as I have to remain secluded from the world for
a certain period of time. I closed the door and sat down with eyes closed lost
in the imaginations of that pretty girl. This state pervaded for a week. I
remained so lost in her thoughts that I had become oblivious of my prayers or
had even forgotten about taking food. On the eighth day, someone knocked at the
door.
I opened the door and there she was
standing with her husband with a tray of sweets in her hands. Her husband was
also young and smart.
I asked them the purpose of their visit.
They replied, 'To have your blessings for children."
I understood then that it was Cupid's doing
otherwise it was not for them to be worried about children at that short span
of their marriage. I found her staring at me. I told her husband to leave us
alone for a while as I have to ask her something privately. He left the room.
In those days I was forty five years of age. I addressed myself. Now what do
you want? Want to marry her? She'll be yours; or want to have sisterly
affection from her. If yes, then why have you given up your own relations? You
were anxious to be with her, she is here. Now decide, say what you have to say.
My heart suggested this was a good game and has played it well and now I don't want
to play it any longer. This was a wish which has also been accomplished.
After having this conversation with myself
I inquired few things from her and called her husband in, wrote an amulet for
them and bade them good-bye.
When they left, it occurred to me that this
game of love would certainly have some effects on the other side as well. So
after midnight I left the mosque and stayed in a place some twenty miles away
from there.
Next day, she also came there accompanied
by her husband, wearing a weary expression on her face, totally tired and
exhausted. On approaching me she implored me to come with them to Banaras.
When I found them both insisting, I told
them that I am here for an urgent piece of work and as soon as I am free I'll
join them in a few days. Thus I sent them off to Banaras after consoling them.
When they left I went to Lucknow and don't know what happened to them."

friends who want to reach the pinnacle of
humanity through service to mankind and to

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."
