(WHAT IS THE WAY OF FUKR?)

Be well informed! That the way of Fukr is not of Wirds, Wazaif and Tasbeeh. Only the study of the implications of Fiqah is not enough but a Fakir should remain firm in practicing the Shariat of Muhammad (SA ALLAH HU ALIHA WA ALLIHI WASILIM) and should always remain intoxicated with Alast same as camel feeds on thorns and travels long bearing weighty loads.

(HOW A MURSHID SHOULD BE LIKE?)

The Murshid who himself is a Talib of carrion World, is the ox of oil mil. He is unaware of his Talib. A Murshid should be like that same as Hazoor (SA ALLAH HU ALIHA WA ALLIHI WASILIM) initiated this Fakir on his holy hands and said ‘hold my hand’  which awakened the Zahiri and Baatini eye of this Fakir in the way to Tauhid and on getting awareness of the Ism e Allah Zaat this Fakir become fed up with Kishf and Karamaat (miraculous outcomes). This is enough to a Fakir. For a Fakir this is a Karamat that Hazoor (SA ALLAH HU ALIHA WA ALLIHI WASILIM) lets him meet with him after whom he may remain alert, informed and vigilant from Azal to Abad.

HADIS

My eyes take sleep while my heart remains awakened.

He who is of the status of ‘Human Realm’ and is dead hearted, he takes sleep of ignorance where as for one with a living heart sleep is a status of finding correct replies to his answers (from Divine). The station of Elliyyeen (a place where spirits of the righteous will be taken after his death) is for that with status of a living heart and for a dead hearted the station of Sijjiyeen is fixed and the station of Asfalassaafileen  is for those who have even worse status. 

The egoism (Nafsaniyat) in man’s body is divided into three categories. So who’s Nafs is Kafir, his character is also of a Kafir or Non Muslims; he keeps sincerity with Dunya and Kafirs. This Nafs e Ammara (Nafs that commands to commit sins) is a bandit of the way. And who’s Nafs is friendlier with hypocrisy, his sincerity is for hypocrites. His Nafs is Nafs e Lawwama (self accusing Nafs) and who’s Nafs is friendlier with the adorers of Dunya, he is a big brutal.
