Jamiaul Asrar

Whatever way he feels possible, he reaches unto the desired thing by diving. This is called the River-of-Tauheed. In the Kaamil and Mukammil Faqar, if the Name Allah is excluded, Decadence (and downfall) comes. By the Zikr of the Name Allah, the Muhabbat increases in magnitude. Faqar is needy of none besides Allah Almighty and instead all things remain needy of it.

O Seeker the People-of-Allah (Ahl-e-Allah)! Listen! The Name Allah is like mercury. And mercury cannot be transformed into Kushta by anything and it does not come in the control of anyone. That person, who makes the Kushta of mercury with some special expertise and makes it (harmless) ash, he is called the Master of Akseer. Such person is left with no need of anything in world. [Similarly], that person, in whose body the Name Allah gets equanimity and stations; he is endowed with Jamiyat and becomes Salve (of Allah). That person, who is liked (and chosen) by Allah Almighty, He makes his entire body and gaze the Kimiya but for this thing, also a Master of Hikmat Murshid is needed. Thus, Khawaja Hafiz Sheraazi Rahmatu-Allahe Ta-aala Alaihe says that:

BAYT (COUPLET)

Those people, who transform the soil into gold by their gaze,

Would that they look upon us with a Gaze [of mercy]!

When the Overlord of Cosmos Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam was escorted to the heavens on the Night of Ascension (Mi'raaj), his highness was, first, presented Burraaq for riding. Then, Hazrat Jibraaeel (Gabriel) Alaihis-Salaam showed his highness the Eighteen Thousand Realms duly decorated and made lovely from every angle but Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam did not (paid any attention to them) and did not gaze upon them.

Allah Almighty says: the eye turned not aside nor yet was overbold (53:17)

The same was his condition on every lower and higher Station. That was why he was taken Near Him at the Martaba of the Qaab-O-Qosain by Almighty Haq. Therefore, there was left only a curtain as thin as the peel of onion in-between the both. When the Beloved Friend had Ain-Ba-Ain reached [extremely] Nigh, a voice came from the Almighty Evolver that "O My Habeeb! I offered Both-the-Worlds to you and showed you the spectacle of Both-the-Worlds and of the Eighteen Thousand Realms. Tell Me which thing did you like in these so that I may Grant it to you?"
