It
should remain clear that the Seeker
covers the Marifat
and whole Tauheed
in one
word
and the whole creatures in one Tawajuh
and every Destination and Station
in one step. Its possibility is like this that the Murshid
shows the Seeker
the
Ultimate Course
of Marifat
in this way that he gives the lesson of Muhabbat
in
start, grants without effort and demand and servitude (and worship). Similarly,
grants the Secret
without asking for Riyazat
, Mushahida
without asking for
Mujahida
, Marifat
without asking for Muraqiba
, treasure without pains,
Taufeeq
without Tareeq
, Baqaa
without Fanaa
, Liqaa
without persecution
(Jafaa), Damm
free of grief, Ascension
free of Istadraaj
and provides him Qurb
with power and Qalb
with awareness, gaze
endowed with sight, Zikr
endowed with
Fikr
, Qalb
endowed with wakefulness, Hazoor
endowed with the body of Noor
,
Ilm
endowed with Hilm
, Hikmat
endowed with Hukam (dictum),
munificence (Jood) with greatness (Karam), Paas with Anfaas; Iqraar
with Tasdeeq
; Tark
(Abnegation) with Tawakul
; mercy endowed with Ruh
; life with Qalb
endowed
with Beenandgi (power to see); Tasfiyya
with open eye; Tazkiya
with
Nafs-e-Ammara
, Majlis
with Conviction; Yaqeen
with Didaar
; Jamiyat
with
Jamaal
; Wahdat with Wisaal
; Qaal
with Ahwaal
, Tasarruf
with Visualization;
Tawajuh
endowed with Tafakkur
; Absorption endowed with Mushahida
of Hazoor
;
Kashf
Karamaat
with the Ahl-e-Qaboor (People-of-Graves ); Hayaat
with Mamaat
;
satiety with hunger; conferment with Ghanayat
; Hidayat
with the acme ;
deference with Bashfulness (and modesty); Raza
with Qaza
; Wasal with
the Origin
and the Taufeeq
with Daqeeq
Ilm
. All these high Maratib are
the Maratib and Degrees in the likeness of ladder
and stairs unto the Qurb
of Didaar
and the Majlis
of Hazrat
Muhammad Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam . and one should not be proud for
this because the Course
of Faqar
is yet ahead. That Faqar
of-Muhammad Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam which is conferred upon the Qadiri
Seeker
by the Grace and Favor of Allah
Almighty!
I
tell this now. O Seeker
ready to sacrifice life and O Murshid
the beneficent
like Faqeer
! listen the narration of the Ultimate Faqar
! In initial stages,
the Maratib
of Patience and Raza
are achieved first but one should not be proud
for this but he should advance. There come three more Maratib
after this.
First, one should be permanently Drowned
into the Visualization
of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ) . Second, all quarters of
Both-the-Worlds
should be under his feet. Third, all angels and Jinn
and all Invisible
Forces should be in his command like slaves. However, these Maratib
are also
imperfect and one should not take pride on them because the Special Faqar
is
still ahead. Maratib
of Faqar
are these that one should get all Stations
from
the Arsh
to sod (earth) covered by gaze
and wake up the Mardaan
the
People-of-Graves
from the Station
of Barzukh
and talk with them and should be
able to tell the good and bad things to the people after consulting the
Loh-e-Mahfooz
by study and he should keep on offering Assalaat
(Prayers) of
Five Times by appearing in the Harem
of Ka'ba Tullah. He should eat Halaal
and
give up Haraam
but the Ultimate Station
of the Special Faqar
is still ahead of
this and even these Maratib
are flawed and incomplete.
