Asrarul Qadri

However, the Defiant (and disobedient) Nafs becomes obedient by these four things:

1.      Muhabbat with Allah

2.      Pure Demand for Allah

3.      By Gharq (Drowned) in Fanaa-Fi-Allah

4.      Every that deed, which he does for the Raza of Allah Almighty like worship, Riyazat and pietism (Taqwa)

The kernel of all these four things is the Visualization and Tasarruf of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat) and the Marifat of Ilaahiya and the Tauheed of the Almighty Evolver.

[Hence] it is revealed that there are three things inside the body of man [which are hereunder]:

1.      Impure Outcast (banished) Nafs, which remains in demand of the damned [Dunya (World)]. Any person, who is the seeker of the Outcast (banished) Nafs, his end ends in evil and his Hereafter (and Sequel) becomes Outcast (banished).

2.      The Desired Qalb (Qalb e Maqsood), the Master of Living Qalb, that takes unto the Desired Martaba (Martaba e Maqsood).

3.      The Laudable Ruh (Ruh e Mahmood), which is the Seeker of Muhammad the Mahmood Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam. The end of the Seeker of Mahmood ends in good and his Hereafter is Laudable (Mahmood).

O sagacious! Which thing do you like [from above]? Giving up the entire Dunya (World), spending in the Cause of Allah and becoming free and Tark are not difficult. It is [very] easy task. However, if [a person] absorbs in Dunya (World) after he has given it up (by Tark), then coming out of it again and exercising Tark becomes extremely difficult. Both these things are not easy for the human being except for him, who has Eitibaar (Trust) in Allah, these two tasks are the easiest as in his sight, both gold and soil are equal. These Maratib are of the Faqeer the Ruler the Oulul-Amar.

[O Real-Seeker!] Lo! You should remain vigilant against the Rijat of Nafs, disobedience like Satan and accidents from the creatures. The blights for the Aalim and Rijat is in greed. And for the Faqeer, the blights and Rijat are in the Rujuaat-e-Khalq. When the kings and lords become Mureed, it gives rise to Self-conceit (and egotism) in the Nafs and the greed and desire keep one unsuccessful in achieving the Marifat and the Qurb of Lord. The calamites and Rijat for the People of Dunya (World) are in niggardliness (Bukhal).
