Irfan (Volume 1) IRFAAN 1

89-90

Or it's another parable is this that for moving about in the journey of this earthly worldly life, the material compound, that is, the earthly body is given to us as a vehicle but the Nooh of Ruh of the Kaamil Arif received Ilhaam and Divine Manifest with the invisible support of Allah Almighty that soon an unending universal thunder storm of death is coming in this material world. Therefore, prepare a spiritual boat in order to survive in it. Thus, the blessed foreseeing Ruh (Spirit), after making a Subtle Spiritual boat like Hazrat Nooh Alaihis-Salaam, rides on it along with all concerned that is, consciousness and faculties. Same like this the Arif Saalik, by means of the Name-Allah-the-Essence (Ism-e-Allah-Zaat ), sitting in the Subtle boat of the Subtle Condescension (with complaisance) of Allah Almighty, saying 'In the name of Allah be its Course and its mooring' (11:41), escapes the unending universal Great Flood of destruction like the Holy Prophet of Allah Almighty Hazrat Nooh Alaihis-Salaam but those carnal beings of the imperfect and incomplete earthly Bulks of mud and water get drowned and destroyed by the waves of this Great Flood of destruction.

O heart! If the wave of destruction (Fanaa ) unfixes the root of existence,

You need not to worry until your Nooh (Noah) is sailing the boat!

[Hafez Sherazi]

Also, this Inwardly Subtle Bulk comes out of each atom of our earthly body after becoming alive in such a way as chick comes out of egg or butter from milk and a more Subtle Subtly than the previous Subtlety rears out in such a manner as Ghee comes out of the butter. And more than this, this photic Subtlety is the goshawk of the Lamakaan and the Phoenix of sanctified Qaf. When this comes out breaking the egg of the matter of Nasoot , it cannot accommodate it the constricted and dark nest of the material world.

And with just a slight movement of its wings, it crosses across the nooks and corners and the Six-Dimensions. The Tree of Tuba becomes its lowest nest and it makes its photic nest on the Kingra (balustrade) of the Arsh of Allah Almighty. Human being has come in this world for the attainment of this same lofty purpose and this is the aim and objective of his life. O Seeker! Take courage (and mettle) so that you can reach this original purpose of life and the real destination before death.

O you! Born of the Pure (holy) essence,

Your essence is the ornament of this world,

Circle of heaven threw much dust,

Then you made appearance O Pure (holy) pear!

You are the life of entire realms,

And of that which the universe cannot accommodate,

You are the key to the divine treasures,

You were not made to play,

Heavens modeled you from the jewel of goodness,

And made you the mirror of divinity,

Be careful with such mirror in your hand,

Lest you let is trust,

The best in all the worlds is,

The clean mirror of the People of Clean harts!

[Nizam Qami]

These days, the People of Europe as well as the English are convinced and inclined towards the Spirit and the Spiritual World. Nonetheless these people, as compared to our Ulema who are virtuous from core and the Kaamil Aulia, are still just kids of school and learners of alphabets only. Our saying will be a strong argument and powerful logic for youngsters who are devotee of the new light and impressed by West who read every say of the European Researchers like a Divine Revelation. It should be in the knowledge of our bright-minded friends that that false creed and invalid theory which was put forth by Science and Philosophy in Europe concerning religion and spirituality, has now changed. Now they have become completely convinced about the Divine Revelation, the personality of Spirit and its strange ultra-nature and Akaat and spiritual perfections.
