Jamiaul Asrar

Demanding the Marifat is Kufr until the time he has not achieved the Maroof (famous) with him and the discovery of Both-the-Worlds has not happened. No matter whether the raiment is subtle or dense, 'and Allah is Subtle, the Aware'. This Station becomes appointed for him. Describing the world is not Martaba. Tauheed comes in share when you have burnt your soul. This is not your aunt's house! The Course of Ishq is painful and onerous. If you are yourself an Aashiq, then you can go, otherwise it is better if you do not see the face of the Aashiqeen.

Be clear that the Arif has relation with five things:

1.      He should be the Master of Irshaad

2.      He should be the Master of Eitiqaad (Conviction)

3.      He should be the Master of Yaqeen with Jihad with Nafs

4.      He should be free of the Creatures

5.      He should be the one, who is frequented (and thriving) in the Inward and should hearken the voice of the Zikr by both ears at the Station of Marifat. Kharosh (roar) should be in the outside and Josh (eruption) should be in the inside.

Gharibti (Travelling and homelessness) is on the way at this Station and Ghareeb (poor traveler) is that person, in whose body there lasts no pride (and arrogance). Moreover, Marifat is the Station of Haq-ul-Yaqeen. The more a person an Arif is, the higher the degree of the Haq-ul-Yaqeen he has. At this Station, the Seeker is engrossed in Zikr. He, in him is not this sign, is stuff of corruption. The Martaba of the Arif is 'there is no God save Him; so you choose Him alone for your defender (73:9).

Lo! That Zikr, whose Highest Degree is this that the Zikr of Lord should be done through all the flesh, hide, veins, soul and marrow by holding (and stopping) breathing and there shall last no backbiting and lust inside him. This is Habs otherwise; it is Abas (useless) because where there Nafs is there is no Habs.
