Malfuzat Hazrat Sultan Bahu (r)

12.  Those people are extremely stupid who despite of being deprived of Marifat and Qurb of Lord play the roles of the Seeker and Murshid . Such Seekers and Murshideen are both shopkeepers (and merchants).

13.  Kimya-gaze is that which resurrects the dead heart with the Zikr of Lord and kills the Nafs and makes one Fanaa-Fi-Allah (Destroyed in Allah).

14.  A Living-Hearted person is he whose heart moves with the Zikr of Lord even after his death and openly and clearly chants Allah Allah by the Tajalliyaat of the Zikr of Lordand the public should listen Allah Allah.

15.  The Murshid worthy of issuing Irshaad is he who if any Major or Minor sin has been committed by the Seeker he dives into the Inward at the same moment and reaches the Majlis and gets that sin forgiven by the Noble Prophet Hazrat Muhammad Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam.

16.  Or in other words you can say that the Murshid-e-Kaamil is like sun and Seeker like a mote. Neither sun leaves the mote nor can the mote hide from sun. That Murshid who in this way is Fanaa-Fi-Allah (Destroyed in Allah) and is the Light of guidance he has no relation with speech but has the relation with the Qurb Mushahida of Wisaal in both sleeping or is wakeful conditions.

17.  The Seeker should never think about the imperfections of him whom he has believed his Murshid . And this is the hallmark of an extraordinary special Mureed .

Hadis: Mureed is he who has no desire for anything.

Thus whatever the Shaikh Outwardly does he should not criticize it because whatever the Shaikh does is exactly appropriate same as damaging the boat killing the boy and repairing the wall by Hazrat Khizar Alaihis-Salaamappeared acts of sin to Hazrat Musa Alaihis-Salaam. That was why Hazrat Khizar Alaihis-Salaam said: "This is the parting between you and me!" (18:78)

*

Thus the deed of the Inwardly Marifat has relation with the Inward although it appears a sin in the eyes of the creatures and people deny to accept it. Equip the Inward with the Outwardly eye and whatever task it is inspect it on the grounds of the Shariyat so that it may be useful to you. Hence the Seeker and the Mureed is only he who is suitable for the Murshid not be he a faultfinder blind and faithless.

18.  There are some virtues like the Holy Messengers in the Murshid : Fear like Hazrat Adam Alaihis-Salaam (O our Lord! We have wronged ourselves (7:23) Sacrifice like that of Hazrat Ibrahim Khaleel Ullah Alaihis-Salaam Patience (with perseverance) like Hazrat Ayub Alaihis-Salaam Gratefulness like Hazrat Jarjees Alaihis-Salaam Dialogue like that of Hazrat Musa Alaihis-Salaam Travelling like Hazrat Khizar Alaihis-Salaam Sword like speech like that of Hazrat Esa Ruh Allah Alaihis-Salaam and the Khulq (tremendous nature and conduct) like that of the Beloved of Allah Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa Sal Allahu Alaihe Wa Aa-lehee Wa-sallam. Office of Murshid is not an easy assignment. Being a Murshid and Guide is the Secret (Sirr) of Lord.

19.  What is Tawakul (Trust and reliance upon Allah)? It is the act of abnegating the creatures which are a brigand of (the Course to) the Creator.

20.  It is said that Hijaabaat are three: Nafs Creatures and Dunya (World); but these Hijaabaat are general. Hijaabaat for Special People are also three: (i) seeing one's worship and obedience for which one starts feeling proud for his worship; (ii) seeing one's Sawaab due to which he becomes heedless relying upon his Sawaab; (iii) noting one's Karamat due to which he becomes inclined and desirous unto his Karamaat .

21.  For the extraordinary special persons there are three biggest Hijaabaat : (i) taking pride on the descent of his ancestors (ii) reading Ilm but not practicing upon it (iii) keeping attachment (with devotional conation) with Allah without having Him acknowledged through core of heart.

22.  The outset of the Selk-Salook is the Fanaa-e-Nafs (Destruction of Nafs) and the end is Fanaa-Fi-Allah (Destruction in Allah).

23.  This Course becomes achievable with the power of Taqwa (Piety) and Piety is of two types:
