In
previous pages, we have described some ways and methods of offering Dawat
through Verses
of the Holy Quran. Here, we elaborate some more ways of some
Visualizations and the Ilm
of Dawat. Since, the sensual people of desire use
these Dawaat
for their personal and worldly aims and objectives, therefore,
control and surveillance of the Inwardly
Spiritual Officers remains on these
effective Inwardly
Weapons. Until the time, you have not taken permit and
license from these Inwardly
Officers for using the Amal
of Words (of Revelations),
the output and effect of these Words and Amal
does not start as effectual. In
this way, these Weapons are kept safe against the incompetent sensual persons.
The Key
and Switch for all Dawaat
and Amaliyaat
is the Visualization
of the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat)
and
the Visualization
of the Name Muhammad
Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
. Until
the time, the body of a Seeker
has not been covered in the Name-Allah-the-Essence
(Ism-e-Allah-Zaat)
and the Name Muhammad Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
, and
his heart has not become Alive through these Names, no Amal
and Dawat
is
initiated by the Seeker. Hence, the Seeker
should not dare to offer Dawat
in
his initial, unripe and incomplete condition unless he has paved, enliven and
brightened his body through the Visualizations. Thus, there are Seven Inwardly
Subtleties
inside the body of the Seeker
and there are Seven Names like Keys
and Passwords to turn these living, wakeful and bright. These Names are:
1.
Allah
2.
Lillah
3.
Lahu
4.
Hu
5.
Muhammad
Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
6.
Faqar
Total
letters of these six Names are eighteen and Eighteen Thousand Creatures
are in
the control, Taskheer
and Tasarruf
of these eighteen letters of alphabet. The
desired development of these Names is done by reading the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb:
Laaa-Ilaaha
Ill-Allahu
Muhammad-ur-Rasoolu-Allah Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa
Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
The
same thing has been addressed in this Punjabi stanza of Hazrat
Sultan-ul-Arifeen
Sultan ul Faqar
Hazrat
Sultan Bahu
May his secret be
sanctified
:
Alif Allah
, (like) the flowering plant of Chamba, my
Murshid
planted in my heart -Hu
,
Water of Nafi and Asbaat
nourished every part and each vein of this plant -Hu,
Flowers of this plant spread the
fragrance all over so much that has totally filled my entire soul -Hu,
(O Bahu
)! May the Murshid-e-KAamil
, who
planted this auspicious plant in my heart, be ever living -Hu.
*
In
addition, the Murshid-e-Kaamil
is like a gardener and plant keeper and at the
end, when the Saalik
Arif
reaches the Ultimate Station, also the
Kalimah-e-Tayyeb
becomes Inscribe and Embossed inside his body in Noori
Letters
and all of his Seven Subtleties
shine with the Anwaar
of all the
above-mentioned Seven Words. The Naqsh
to be Inscribed on body of these Words
is as under:
Thus,
the Seeker
should first exercise the Visualization
of these Six Names. That is,
with the finger of thought and imagination, he should write these Names inside
his body as instructed and guided by the Murshid
and should recite the
Kalimah-e-Tayyeb
in heart while doing this practice. The methods for the
recital of the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb
by the Seeker
are also various depending upon
the capacity of the Seeker
and of the above-mentioned Names, some Names fit for
the temperament and the capacity of the Seeker
and there are also some stations
inside the body of the Seeker
where their Visualization
is easy and simple.
Thus, selection of the Names is the job of the Murshid
Mentor. Otherwise, the True-Seeker
himself comes out with an easy method of Visualization
with his understanding
his experience after repeated attempts and practice. Murshid
has not to do hard
for such Kaamil
Seeker. Hence, the Seeker
should practice these Six Names for
Visualization:
?
That
is, he should make his index finger a pen in his imagination and should write
and Inscribe any of the above Names inside his body and should continue
reciting the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb
during this practice and if he also practices the
method of Paas-e-Anfaas
in the Kalimah-e-Tayyeb, it will be better. That is, he
should say Laaa-Ilaaha Ill-Allahu
when he breathes in and when
he breathes out, he should say Muhammad-ur-Rasoolu-Allah
. Or he should
only say the Nafi
Asbaat
in the start, that is, when breathes in, he should say
Laa Ilaaha
and when he breathes out, he should say Ila-Allahu
. This
makes the job easier than that said earlier. In case he wants more convenience
in Zikr
, he should say Allah
when he breathes in and should say Hu
when he breathes out and
should exercise Paas-e-Anfaas
through the Zikr
of Allah Hu
. In this way, the
method of Paas-e-Anfaas becomes easy.
