[STATIONS OF FAQAR] There
are Seventy Thousand Stations of Faqeeri (Line of Faqar
or Faqeerhood)
and Dervishi (Line of Dervish
or Dervishhood). As long as the Faqeer
Dervish has not covered and seen these Seventy Thousand Stations
and has not shown them to some other person, he cannot be called the Faqeer
Dervish because as long as the Faqeer Dervish is not familiar with
all these Stations, he cannot cross across every Station. [In
Reality] such person is not Faqeer Dervish [but instead] he has posed
to be a Faqeer just for the sake of his Nafs , not for the sake
of God Almighty. Since where there is treasure, a snake is on it and
where there is flower, a thorn is (surely) there. [That is, on the Course
of Faqar, there are a lot of hardships and problems]. When the case of
this [Faqeer] has crossed Dunya (World), that is, when Faqeer
has crossed across all these Stations and has reached above the Arsh
, he then identifies all individuals [and becomes familiar with Martaba
of everyone]. In the religion of Salook , this person is called Faqeer
Dervish. [Moreover,] when he has crossed across the Seventy Thousand
Stations including the Arsh and Kursi , his Station
(and Rank) cannot be encompassed by imagination and thought even. Instead,
he is rather a Secret between the Slave and the Deity of
Worship the Kashf (discovery) of which is not possible by any human
being. His Reality is only known by the God Almighty as He is the Wisest.
BAYT (COUPLET) I have Drowned into the River of Ishq
so much that, Every moment my Sirr (Secret) reaches on the Arsh. And
this Faqeer (Bahu Rahmatu-Allahe
Ta-aala Alaihe
)
says
this that, when his highness Hazrat
Muhammad
Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
set out on the journey in the Night of Ascension
sitting on the Burraaq , and above the Arsh and Kursi, Hazrat
Jibraaeel (Gabriel) Alaihis-Salaam
stagnated
the form of the Worlds charmingly displayed on the Station of Sidra-Tul-Muntaha
(Lote tree of utmost boundary (53:14)) and
the Eighteen Thousand Realms beautifully assembled in circles and
respectfully presented them before his highness
and when his highness reached in the
Hazoor of Haq Almighty at the Station of Qaab-O-Qosain
Ao Adnaa (two bows length or even nearer (53:9))
, he
was addressed that:
