Muhikal Faqar (Qalan)

[O True-Seeker (Taalib e Saadiq ) !] Be informed that [all the] Riyazat and Piety, Optional Assalaat (Prayers), Assalaat (Prayers), Fasting, exercising Chilla and his recluse are of the greed and desire without Murshid the Master of Secret. And (likewise), his sitting in Sanctum is accompanied by Waswaas and hypocrisy because entire Worship is groundless unless and until the lamp of his heart has become luminous and bright by the sun of the Name Allahthrough the Tawajuh of the Murshid Arif-Bi-Allah , his Nafs does not become submissive and does not die because the Exercise (of preoccupation) in Allah is better in Both-the-Worlds and the Dead-Heart is loathsome in Both-the-Worlds. Those, in their heart will be Liking for the commodity and Dram (or drachma) of Dunya (World), how can their engagement be with Almighty Haq!

That Faqeer, who receives something as alms and considers it from creatures, it is loss and if he believes it from God Almighty, it is evidence of Eimaan .

Allah Almighty says: Do not drive the beggar away. (93:10)

Some Muqallad Faqeers (the followers of Taqleed ), who are indulged in carnal desires, say that they have bid farewell to Dunya (World). But they hover around it as a moth circles around candle and they say to their kindred and relatives that they have cut off their ties with the sword of their courage (and mettle). But they are serving and praising people. They are wearing the garb of Faqar on their bodies but on their hearts, they have wrapped the cover of greed and cupidity.

[O Real-Seeker !] Lo! Almighty Haq has created all Momineen (True Believers) and the Arifeen , the Holy Messengers (of Allah) , the Aulia-Allah and all Muslims for Acts of Worship and Marifat and the Wisaal of the Muhabbat of Lord, not for the desire of amassing money and possessions and Qeel-O-Qaal .

Dervish, the one who is of the People-of-Sidq is identified by three things:

1.                                                                              He should have been endowed with Deference (Adab)

2.                                                                              He should have been endowed with Haya (bashfulness and modesty)

3.                                                                              His heart should be filled with the Muhabbat (Cordiality and Affection) of Allah Almighty. There should no Muhabbat for any Outsider in his heart. And utterance of his tongue should be for advice and sermon. Every noteworthy word, which he speaks, should be of the Marifat of Divine and the heart of the audience should get bright and luminous through it.

And that Faqeer , who reaches unto the Marifat of God, four Stations are of him:

1.                                                                              His heart, which he all the time keeps occupied by God

2.                                                                              His Silence , that he does not speak in company of common people
