AURANG SHAHI in English

PAGE NO. 10

Beware! The Nafs, in the times of pleasure behaves like Pharaoh i.e. becomes arrogant and proud. It does not remember Allah in the times of hunger and while committing sins because at this time it behaves like a mad dog to such an extent that eating Halal (lawful), saying the truth and ‘leave your Nafs and come higher up’ are forgotten by him.

At the times of Shahwat, it turns unwise, ignorant, knowledge-less and insane because he does not believe presence of Allah at the time of committing the sin. Allah Almighty, no doubt, is always present with man but man, himself, is blind and gone astray. ‘and He is with you wheresoever you may be’ (57:4) and Nafs has misinterpreted ‘therefore flee unto Allah’ (51:50) as ‘flee away of Allah’. And at the time of anger it starts abusing others. This attitude is against the principles of the Holy Quran.

At the time of dispensing generosity, Nafs behaves like Qaroon because spite is the job of a malignant and malice is a very dejected attitude. So one should make the Nafs his obedient in one shot or otherwise kill it or put it behind bars like a demon of Solomon with the Tassawar of Ism e Allah Zaat. With the knowledge of Hazraat, Nafs can be captured like a thief within a second and it can be traced in body.

HADIS

He, who (successfully) did gnosis of his Nafs, found his Sustainer. He, who understood his Nafs as a mortal, thus he understood his Nourisher as eternal.

He, then reaches to the degree of ‘die before you expire’  and sees the reality of ‘He brings forth the living from the dead, and it is He Who brings forth the dead from the living’ (6:95) .

When this degree is revealed unto Nafs, it observes the reality about life and later on it becomes modest and gives up all lust, desires and Kufr and Shirk. All these degrees are easy to reveal and show in a single step by a Murshid Kamil and Aamil Aalim but it is very hard and tough for an imperfect and low courage Talib to gain Tassaruf over the treasures of the Lord, emperorship, ranks of an adviser to emperor and keep in vision the body that can travel through the strata from the moon to fish down in ocean because the Nafs find such a relief in its frame of Qalb from the cheerful treasure that he embraces death within a day.

I wonder that creed that is found doling out the treasures of Tassaruf to so called devotees to Fakirs who are immature and deceitful devout. But on this way of knowledge, knowledge should be with as a witness with the Aalim as his comrade and Rafiq.
