He said "how many in the twenty?" That
person reported "ten". Then he asked "how many of these ten?" The answer was "five". Asked again
"then how many of these five?' The reply was "two and these
two Seekers are such which are rare to find in the world". That Saint
said, "You must be one who has not seen such Seekers but for my murder,
these two are just sufficient!" O Bahu
BAYT (COUPLET) Seekers of this age are
inferior and lack courage (and mettle), Seekers [of this age]
lack [the real] Demand in every way. Most of the Murshideen [of these
days] are shopkeepers (and tradesmen), Masters of greed and Nafs
and [similarly,] one in thousands would be a Seeker, who is of good
stature. Allah Almighty [That is, Murshid the Master-of-Authority
(and volition) can only be he, who obeys the Orders of Allah
Almighty and the Holy Prophet of Allah Hence, the Order of the Murshid-e-Kaamil
is as if the Order of Allah
Almighty that the Qaza of Lord
initiates through this order and the Seeker remains obedient
to his command such that he remains scorched in the fire of Muhabbat
and Ishq like kebab. The Murshid-e-Kaamil is the likeness of river
and the Seeker is wave of this river. Neither wave leaves the river nor does
the river leave the wave. This is the condition of the Seeker the
Fanaa-Fi-Shaikh (Destroyed in Shaikh). The Murshid is like the
eye and the Seeker is eyesight. Neither eye leaves eyesight nor does the
eyesight leave the eye. Ilm is likeness of the Shaheed (Martyr) and
Faqar is like Shahaadat (Martyrdom). Free eating, free
drinking, free dress and sleeping with peace and comfort exist in Ilm and Ilm
is the name of wandering (and drifting) and employment of tongue and in Faqar,
there exists melting the soul with hunger (and thirst). Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe
! It is (almost)
impossible to find a Master of Secret, who should (also) be the
Master of Mysteries
of Lord
[nowadays]. The Seekers
of this age have equanimity with this sordid Dunya
(World) but they flee
away of the Ahl-e-Allah (People-of-Allah ).
says: Obey Allah
and obey the
Messenger and those of you who are in authority (4:59)
Hazrat
Muhammad
Sal Allahu Alaihe
Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
. And only he will
be the True-Seeker, who will see the commandments all of these
three with same eye and will obey all of them.]
