Aqal Baidar

1.      The degree of Raseed (arrival or receipt)

2.      The degree of Deed (sight and vision)

3.      The degree of Yaaft (finding)

4.      The degree of Shanakhat (recognition)

What is Raseed? And what is called Deed? What is Yaaft? And what is called Shanakhat? Raseed is the Marifat of Tauheed; and by Deed is meant the Mushahida of the Qurb of Hazoor and the Tajreed with Tafreed ; and Yaaft is this that the Seeker should understand and find all objectives with the spirit of the wealth of Tasarruf. This is what is called the Jamiyat e Kulli. And Shanakhat is this that the identification (and recognition) of Nafs is done, and he should talk with it and later the identification (and recognition) of the Sustainer is done and he should talk with Lord and should become the Privy (and Insider) of Kunah (Depth) of the Kun {Be! (36:82)}.

HADIS

(Saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)

He, who identified his Nafs with Fanaa , thus, he identified his Lord with Baqaa .

?

When the Nafs has been decisively Destroyed, the Seeker gets the Taufeeq of achieving the Hazoori of Allah Almighty and His Qurb . Upon reaching at this Station, the Seeker gets the Total Faqar.

HADIS

(Saying of the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam)

When Faqar reaches unto its extremity (and entirety), that is Allah.

And he becomes the permanent companion in the company of Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam always remains before him. These are the Maratib of the Aware True-Seeker.

The Murshid-e-Kaamil is he, who provides freedom to the body of the Seeker from the Nafs and desire and every intensity and inauspiciousness of every blight and calamity of the Satanic guilt and the struggle and severity of hunger and thirst, which is an obstacle on the way of God for the Seeker. And he should grant the Tasarruf of the treasures of world to the Seeker within five days or in a week. That Seeker, who keeps silent and has sealed his lips and never asks from Murshid and never expresses the hardship of his Ahwaal ; then if the Murshid is Kaamil, he shall take him in the Hazoori within a trice and should not wait for spare time for a day or nine weeks or nine months or nine years for this.
