12. Those are absolute stupid who, in spite of deprived of Marifat and Qurb
(nearness, being close to) Allah, perform Talibi (being a Seeker) and Murshidi
(being a Murshid). Both such Talib and Murshid are traders (merchants).
13. Kimya Nazar (Glance) is that which turns the dead heart into a living one
with the power of Zikr (remembering Allah usually in a rhythmic manner) of Allah
and that can perish Nafs and make one extinct in Allah.
14. A Live Heart is one that throbs even after physical death of a person and
due to the lights of the Divine Self Disclosure, it openly utter Allah Allah
Allah and public listens to this.
15. Murshid worthy of issuing Irshad (showing the right way) is one that by
diving into the Baatin can get pardoned from the Majlis of Hazoor PBUH all small
and serious sins (errs) committed by his Talib.
16. Imagine the Murshid Kamil like the sun and Talib like a dust particle,
neither sun shrinks away from particle nor particle can hide from sun. The
Murshid who is extinct in Allah and light of guidance in said way, he does not
relate to speech but he relates to the vision of Union with Allah whether in
dream or awake.
17. Talib ought to not take notice of the imperfections of the person whom he
has accepted as his Murshid. This is the quality of an out of the ordinary Murid.
According a Hadis: Murid one who has no want. Thus apparently whatever Sheikh
does, he should not criticize on him as whatever Sheikh does is appropriate same
like the example of Hazrat Hizr AS when he made the boat defective, killed the
child and repaired the wall and all these acts were not good acts in opinion of
Hazrat Musa AS. That was why Hazrat Hizr AS said: �now we separate from each
other.� Thus the phenomenon of Marifat of Baatin pertains to Baatin, no matter
in the eyes of public it appears as a sin and people deny it. Maker you Baatin
better with your physical eyes and whatever work, is test it as per the rules
laid down by Shariat so that it can benefit you. So Talib and Murid is one who
follows his Murshid and not a fault finder, blind and skeptical person.
18. There are some qualities of Prophets in Murshid: fear like Hazrat Adam AS (O
our Lord! We have done harm to our selves�), sacrifice like Hazrat Ibrahim AS,
patience like Hazrat Ayub AS, thanksgiving like Hazrat Jirjees AS, dialogue like
that of Hazrat Musa AS, travelling like Hazrat Hizr AS, tongue like a sword as
that of Hazrat Esa AS, Mannerism like that of Hazrat Muhammad Mustafa PBUH.
Murshidship is not an easy job. Being a Murshid and Guide is a mystery of God.
19. What is Tawakul? It is shunning away the public which is a bandit of the way
to the Creator.
20. It is said that there are three Hijab (veils, factors that act as a curtain
between man and God and hinder his access to the Divine Being): Nafs, People and
Dunya; but these hijab are for common people. There are also three Hijab for
special people: taking into admiring one�s worship and obedience due to which
one becomes proud of his worship; taking into consideration one�s Sawab (reward
of good deeds) due to which one becomes heedless; third is admiring one�s
ability to do Karamat (a miracle like phenomena) due to which one�s attention
diverts to his Karamat and he starts loving it.
21. For the most special persons there are three Hijab: pride of his superior
race, reading without practicing what has been learned through reading,
attachment with Allah without testification through core of heart.
22. The beginning of the Sufi Pathway is the extinction of Nafs and end is
Annihilation in Allah.
23. This way is approachable with the power of piety and Piety is of two types:
one is Zahiri and the other Baatini. Zahiri means that is intended to win fame
and popularity in public while Baatini means that by burring heart turn roasted
and with the fire of Zikr soul gets roasted � in the eyes of public he is abject
and pitiable whereas before Allah he is immersed in the ocean of His appearance
and presence without any veil between him and He.
