When the Seeker
sets his
step in the Course of Demand, he gives three divorces to
the pleasure of Nafs and greed (grasping) and the lust of Dunya
(World) and the Satanic sins. Moreover, that Seeker, who
accumulates (and saves) money and wealth, the Satan becomes his companion
and does never disassociate from him. In addition, the Nafs-e-Ammara of the People of Dunya
(World) is
frequented with arrogance and vanity and this substance is never free of the trait
like Pharaoh, niggardliness like Qaroon , inauspiciousness like Shaddad
and the disgraceful seduction of Nimrod . The Murshid-e-Kaamil is
he, who grants total Maratib and
Maratib to the Seeker
and shows (him) Mushahida. Similarly,
he grants the Position (Mansib) of Muhabbat , Marifat
of Lord
? and
Hazoori to the People of Muhabbat
and shows. Likewise, he does
reveal the fount of Favor to the People of Fervor from the realm
of Fervor and shows it clearly as is seen through open eyes (Ain-Ba-Ain
). Thus, these three Maratib are
endowed upon the Seeker:
1. The
first Martaba is of the Fanaa-Fi-Shaikh (Destruction in Shaikh). When the
face of the Shaikh
is seen [by the Seeker], wherever he Gazes
upon, the Maratib of
the Tasarruf of Shaikh are seen by him.
2. The
second Martaba is of the Fanaa-Fi-Rasool (Destruction in the Prophet
). When the form of the
Name Muhammad
Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
comes in the Visualization, all
that, which distract from Allah
leave the body of the Seeker. Wherever
he Gazes upon, the Majlis of-Muhammad
Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
is seen by him. Such Seeker is bashful,
respectful and the Aashiq of Hazrat
Muhammad
Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
and the Mashooq (Beloved)
Allah
Almighty
.
3. The
third Martaba is of the Fanaa-Fi-Allah (Destruction in Allah
). When the
Visualization of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat)
becomes correct (and
okay), the Nafs becomes completely dead. Wherever he Gazes upon,
is honored with countless Anwaar of Tajalliyaat of the Name
Allah
Billah. This is called Lamakaan . Since Allah
is the Uncreated
One, therefore, giving His likeness with the likeness of Creation, Azal
, Abad , world, the Hereafter
and Eden is a cause of Kufr and Shirk.
Thus, how do the Didaar and
Wisaal comes in the reach of the Momineen (True Believers) and Aashiqeen
? The Momineen (True Believers) and Aashiqeen enter Lamakaan
in the Bulk of Noor and on their Spirit, Mercy of
Allah
is showered. The time, and when the Didaar is witnessed by them,
they cannot quote its example.
