There
are moments in life when on the path of righteousness, conflict
arises between what is morally correct and what the fulfilment
of our insignificant goals of our physical life compel us
to do. Should be then be selfish and concenterate on the gains
that will accrue if we dilute morality at the altar of need
gratification. When morality is substituted by greed to accumulate
more than what is needed, there occurs stagnation in the perception
of societies torch bearers. Is desire good and is to be avoided?
Again the correct answer would be that when we are scared
to die like billions of other beings and really want to have
the conscious exit from this physical body then desire has
to be regulated and then harnessed. This is an ever going
process. The environment in societies compel us to follow
the herd priciple of self destruction. The ignorant who have
lost focus of the potential of the conscious exit,goad over
minor acheivements which boost our ego and makes us understand
that we are physical bodies having the faculty to better our
level of comforts at the cost of the many others who we deprive
because of our selfish traits.
Well
death is a great leveller. It is only when the disciple searches
within, the answers are found. Belief is the first step to
cultivate the required urge for the pursuit of the path of
Marifat. The wise neither mourn for the living nor the dead.
They know that the physical body is a limitation to the consciousness
which tries to curb the potential of the Superconsciousness.
To say that billion of people on this plannet only understand
what their Prophets spoke of is as simple as a child at prepuberty
trying to experience the pleasures of the sensual desire.
The metaphors and similes which have been used in the holy
scriptures have to be understood in its true esoteric perspective.
To sugar coat our ulterior motives by manipulating societies
would not get us anywhere for when we will perish like billions
of our compatriots, we would then realise the foolishness
of manipulating societies for our own selfish interests. If
a human being finds solace in groups and cluster of class,
caste and colour to boost our self enhancement drive, these
people are foolish for they will still perish in a span of
125 years without knowing that are they really the conscious
entity about which the prophets speak of or we merely live
through procreation by transfer our genes in our children.
Khwaja says: ' Fear is the ultimate drive.' It is only when
the human being is scared to perish and wishes to believe
in the existence of the soul that the seeds of Muhabbat are
sown in the consciousness which through selective gardening
over the years bear fruit of the treasures of Immortality.
It is only when the human being realise the potential that
they can sustain in suspended animation that they start to
appreciate the mysteries of the All Pervading. When in suspended
animation the disciple experiences consciousness of being
alive knowing fully well that the physical body has shut down,
a milestone in human evolution has been reached. It is so
foolish to comprehend that for pleasures we have to derive
stimulation through alcohol and the use of drugs and over
indulgence in sensual gratification. Khwaja says: The more
the desires are gratified the more they are aroused. It is
only when we experience Marifat; Paranormal ecstacy of the
climax in the consciousness for over 300 seconds of pure joy
that then we are in a position to understand that the substitutes
available are just a preview and not the ultimate climax of
ecstacy. For what pleasure is there than to be drunk by meditation
without taking a equivalent of six large pegs of whisky or
smoking marijuana. The final joy of being able to acheive
the consciousness of the climax for over 300 seconds to uninterrupted
flooding of the consciousness for continuos 40 days, has to
be experienced to be believed. Are we people compelled by
circumstances of birth and adoption forced to think that we
are Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, Jews, Buddhists, Jains e.t.c.
Why cannot we ever realise that unless we renounce the smaller
pleasure for the sake of the pleasures of meditation, we would
never be free in the sense of freedom from the ever advancing
death which may at any moment in time snuff out our physical
existence. Are we people compelled by circumstances of birth
and adoption forced to think that we are Muslims, Hindus,
Sikhs, Jews, Buddhist, Jains e.t.c. Why cannot we ever realise
that unless we renounce the smaller pleasure for the sake
of the pleasures of meditation, we would never be free in
the sense of freedom from the ever advancing death which may
at any moment in time snuff out our physical existence. Actual
risk spread lies in investing our valuable time in praying
to the Divine for when death approaches by stealth no amount
of our puchasing power would buy more days for us to continue
using our physical bodies. The favourite pastime of ours to
indulge in intellectual prostitution for ego stimulation would
get us nowhere. How can we be so dumb, knowing fully well
that the lifecycle of a human being cannot go over 125 years
in case of the majority of us and we still make no effort
to understand the mysteries of existence but occupy our lives
in futile competition with others seeking ego gratification
but then perishing in the end like any other. The point here
is that the disciple must understand that conscious exit from
the body is possible and that our goal in life should be to
try for a conscious exit at the time of death of the physical
body. Just because the Divine Light is not visible to billions
of our fellow beings, it does not mean that it does not exist.
Our purpose in life is to try and attain the grace of God
for before that we are vulnerable to the vagaries of nature,
for in the third dimension it is not possible for us to grasp
the para-normal phenomena without the aid of the Khafi(Ajna
Chakra of the 4th dimension). Khwaja says that the disciples
who indulge in sense gratification are not able to develop
consistency in their practise of Baiyyat. It is the baiyyat
that weans the disciple from the smaller pleasures to the
greater pleasures of the spiritual climax. Service of our
fellow beings and tolerance of all creatures great and small
is a must before we are to understand that this planet is
not our ancestrial property which we so easily make it out
to be. What right do we have to purchase land. Are we going
to retain it once the shadow of death overtakes us. Why is
that the hapiness is quantified by the measure of the appreciation
from the eyes of the majority who as it is ape the ignorant
whose purpose in life is to procreate and perish as any of
the other species of animals.The trillion we spend in pilling
up the nuclear arsenal would all be left behind as well as
our efforts to manipulate society would be of on avail as
we are the ones who finally will perish in the physical sense.
It is the manner of the exit that would decide whether our
innings has been successful or not. Freedom from death is
certain with the practise of Zikr(remembrance of the Divine).
Khwaja says that: "It is easier to tame the rogue elephant
than to tame the fluctuating consciousness". But this should
in no way dishearten us as practise of the instructions of
the Murshid are the only effective means to still the ever
fluctuating consciousness. To remember to thank God we devour
anything is the simplest way in which we can let God in our
everyday lives and over the years develop the foundation for
the attainment of that para-normal ecstacy which has to be
experienced to be believed about its potential to substitute
the sensual pleasures. Very few path finders set their foot
on the untrodden land; One among hundreds finds the secret
trace of that tract. Mercy, my God! Mercy, O Pardoner! From
us offance, From You offence, from You manisfcience. We have
come to Your door, O munificent Lord!, Our hearts are foul
and full of the filth of this world, illumine them with the
radiance of Thy love, Gladden us with Your pardon, Make us
prosper through Your generosity. Help us in all our difficulties,
Do not turn us away empty-handed, Let us be among Your special
servants, Make us happy by accepting our supplications.
