He Although,
we have not received Ilm-of-Outward
(Outwardly Ilm
) yet our heart and
conscience, Are
bright and clear like a Truth-Reflecting Mirror. Hence, both the Outwardly
and
the Inwardly
Uloom have absorbed in it by reflection. Because
of the Mukashifaat
and Tajalliyaat
of the Anwaar
of the Essence, we had no occasion
for acquisition of the Physical knowledge nor had we time spare for doing Wird
and Wazaif because, since Azal
till Abad
and every moment, we have remained
Drowned
in the unfathomable and the deepest River-of-Tauheed
'. * It
is said that his highness wrote over one hundred books in the Ilm
of Tasawvuf.
I have collected about forty of his books in Persian also and I have been
writing these by my hand before many years. This Faqeer
(Noor Muhammad) has
studied vast in Theology and especially the Ilm
of Tasawvuf
and I have seen and
read the books of all the previous and present Salikeen and Scholars of every
language one by one but that (efficacious) effectiveness (and the impact) and Auspiciousness
(and blessing) that I found in the blessed books of Hazrat
Sultan-ul-Arifeen
Hazrat
Sultan ul Faqar
Hazrat
Sultan Bahu
May his secret
be
sanctified ABYAAT
OF AUTHOR My
Pure Murshid
Pir Bahu He 
had never acquired any Ilm-of-Outward
(Outwardly Ilm
) (and education from a
school or a teacher). Since his
early life due to a rush of the Inwardly
phenomena and abundance of Doubtless
Conquests, he had no time spare for acquiring any formal education. Hence, in a
book, his highness says that 'Hazrat Muhammad Arabi Sal
Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam
and me are both Ummeye (unlettered)'
. At
another place, his highness
says that
'this Faqeer
had no opportunity of acquiring Ilm-of-Outward
(Outwardly Ilm
).
However, by means of the Inwardly
Returns of the Unseen and the Doubtless
Conquests so much Uloom
have opened on us that countless record room would be
needed to record details thereof. Moreover, saints have said that fine word
is
that which is brief and to the point but its scope and meanings should be vast
and many.
,
I have not found even their smell in other corpus. Allah
is Witness to my
condition. It feels as if the all-conquering blessed Spirit
of the Writher May
his secret
be sanctified is present and in action in the
letters and text of these books that just by reading the text, the Noor
of his
Tawajuh
directly Illuminates the heart with a pace like Burraaq and delivers
the reader to the Station
of Secret
without Riyazat
and to the Martaba
of Mushahida
without Mujahida
. How fortunate is that tongue that speaks these written words
and how much blessed are those ears that hearken this Divine Manifest of the
Glorious Lord and how virtuous is that eye and heart which have sight and
wisdom by virtue of this Word
of the Depth of Kun {Be! (36:82)}
and
the Ilm-e-Ludunni
!
is
matchless,
is so
Perfect that I have not seen anyone of his likeness,
