NECESSITY OF THE PIR MURSHID
It
should remain clear that for every path, there is need of a companion, guide
and leader and for every Ilm
and skill, a teacher and mentor is needed. Hence,
a guide and Kaamil
leader is very essential who is accustomed to this long and
stretched traveling and the course
extended to far off mark-less route towards
Allah
Almighty. Moreover, a teacher and mentor for the Inward
for educating the
Marifat
of Allah
Almighty and the Uloom-e-Ludunni* necessary as there is no
other way. In the Surah
Al Kahf (18) of the Holy Quran, Hazrat
Musa Alaihis-Salaam
(Moses) entreated Hazrat
Khizar Alaihis-Salaam for acquiring the
Inwardly
Ilm
, that is, the Ilm-e-Ludunni
and he chose his service,
companionship and company. In short, what other so powerful argument and strong
reason in the Holy Quran can be for a Muslim. Hence, when the existence of this
hidden, covered and unseen Ilm
is proven through the Holy Quran and acquisition
of the lower level formal religious Ilm
is obligation on every male and female
Muslim, then acquisition of this high ranked
Ilm-e-Ludunni
should be the prime obligation and when the teachers and mentors
of this Ilm
are also openly and secretly present in the world and no time is
without their presence then regrets are for those people who are in invisible
loss as they deny the Marifat
of Allah
Almighty and the Inwardly
Uloom. On the
other hand, if some blessed and fortunate Seekers determine to follow the
Course
of Salook, they hinder their course
by casting suspicions and doubts
like hobgoblins of desertedness and employ their vain and unfruitful efforts of
stopping them and they neither try to follow this course
themselves like Zaal O
Muzil (strayed and misleader) nor let the other to follow this. However, those
who are Guided by Allah
Almighty Himself to His Course, who is there who can
mislead them!
*Uloom-e-Ludunni:
Plural of Ilm-e-Ludunni
*
Lo!
as for My slaves, you have no power over any of them (15:42)
And
he whom Allah
guides, for him there can be no misleader (39:37)
Although
Allah
Almighty has entrusted the religious power and the Seed of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat )
in the human
being since the First Day, but in order to practically release
this potency and to water the Seed of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat )
and to grow it, a teacher and mentor is extremely necessary. And the automatism
(second nature) of everything naturally exists in the body of man but in order
to bring this automatism to a stage where it is able to proceed after becoming
live, there is need of another Kaamil
human
being. Hence, the automatism
(second nature) for utterance has been kept in the makeup of the child but in
order to activate this ability and in order to grow it and educated it, mother
is necessary. Child learns that language which is taught to him by his mother.
In case the child is with a mother who cannot speak and there is also none
other speaking person near that child then that child will surely remain mute
and will lose the asset of utterance. Although he had the asset with capacity
but in absence of an educator that asset is lost as is the story of Mute
Palace
is famous in the days of Akbar (Mughal) King that some children were given in
caretaking of nurses that could not speak and they remained with them for
growing up and all children grew up without the power of speaking any language.
Thus, in order to bring every asset of nature and instinct into action and in
order to activate every second nature and ability, a second person is
indispensable. Human
being has been created in order to fulfill this very need
of the nature and because of this very Perfection (and Attainment) and ability,
the human
being has been honored with the title of 'viceroy in earth'. In short,
Allah
Almighty has set this same formula and rule and law for the growth and
education and continuity of the aforesaid Inwardly
natural capacity. In
accordance to this same (rule), Allah
Almighty nurtured this Noori
Fruit and
Seed inside the Holy Prophet of Allah Hazrat
Muhammad Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam through the means of
Hazrat
Gabriel Ameen Alaihis-Salaam.
