In
state of sleeping, the bird of spirit is tied with its body and the cage of its
earthly frame through an Invisible link and a Subtle
thread and this thread
becomes loose in state of sleeping and it dives into the Subtle
Realm at the
time of dream. However, this thread gets untied at once from the earthly body
as Allah
Almighty
Allah receives (men's) souls (Nafs) at the time of their death, and that (soul) which dies not (yet) in its sleep. He keeps that (soul) for which He has ordained death and dismisses the rest till an appointed term (39:42)
That is, Allah Almighty takes the whole Nafs at the time of one's death (and Nafs is that thing, which do not die during state of sleeping but instead remains alive). Hence, Allah Almighty captures that body on which death was warranted and releases the other thing for its prerecorded time.
Thus the relation of the spirit with the grave and dead body is almost same as is of the bird with its nest and tree. Only that much is the difference that the spirit remains present and stationed inside the nest like an egg or a chick during the span of life but flies from its egg or nest at the time of death and can thenceforth return to its nest whenever its wills and whenever it likes.
When the Subtlety
of the Arif
Saalik turns alive after breaking the egg of
Nasoot
of the Ruh
(spirit) or when he has died virtually like 'Die-before-Death'
*
This is not beyond possibility that sometimes a person sleeps after doing good and virtuous deeds and sees bad dreams and sometimes he sleeps after doing bad things but sees good dreams. In short, in dream, the dead sensual subtlety of the human being floats like a lifeless wood haphazardly, involuntarily and without control over the surface of the Realm of the Unseen and is swept away to that direction where the tide takes it. On the other hand, the Subtlety of the Qalb of the Living-Hearted Arif swims in the Ocean of the Realm of the Unseen like a fish with its control and desire and reaches that Station and Destination for which it had willfully intended for and meets that Subtle Invisible Creature which he wanted to meet! This is the reason that only a Living-Hearted Arif Saalik can converse with, talk with and meet with the Roohani through offering Dawat on the People-of-Graves and can get benefits from them and can benefit them. A Sensual Dead-Hearted person cannot invoke the Roohani and cannot meet him even if he reads the Holy Quran on the grave of a Saint for his entire life. However, if the Roohani is himself desirous, he can show himself to him in his dream and gives answer to his question through a code or unclear gesture or hint. In finding the possible explanation and outcome of such gestures, the People of Dream remain perplexed (and puzzled) and not sure. In short, the world of dream is not dependable.
Further, this should remain in mind that there is great difference in the deaths
of a dead hearted sensual person and a Living-Hearted
spiritual person. The
death of the former uses to be alloy of punishments and grieves whereas the
death of the later is the sleep of a bride, a cordial gift and just a migration
from one place to the next because the Living-Hearted
Arif
had already
experience many virtual deaths prior to the real death in terms of
'Die-before-Death '
We have grown such green (and lively) many a times, We have seen three hundred and seventy such frames. [Jalal ud Din Rumi]
Hazrat
Jaami
Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe
All others die onetime but the poor Jami died many a times!
The butter of his soul and spirit has already got separated from the milk and Chaach of the body and Nafs. Truth is this that the death, for a Momin Living-Hearted person, is like his most desired thing and a comfort and luxury because for him, the world is a site of trials, a dungeon and ordeal.
