Attaining each and all these Maratib (Ranks) and becoming Waasil Bi Allah Almighty is possible only through Mashq e Wujudia of inscribing the Name Allah the Essence with Taffakur (Contemplation).  After this different Self Disclosures are emitted in the body of the Seeker from each letter of the Name Allah the Essence and the Seeker at once reaches at the Martaba (Rank) of Maroof Karkhi Rahmatullah Alaihi and becomes free of the entire needs and becomes La Yahtaaj (Self Sufficient).  With the Maratib (Ranks) of the Ghinayat (Self-sufficiency) of Akseer Kimya the Faqeer becomes Aamil Kimyagar and with the Maratib (Ranks) of Hidayat (Guidance) Akseer Kimya gaze of the Wali Allah becomes the ruler over the sea and land.  It is essential for the Murshid e Kamil (Perfect Guide) that he should grant both these Ilm (knowledge) [Maratib (Ranks)] to the Loyal Seeker within a moment.

[O the Loyal Seeker!  Attentively] Listen!  The Seekers are of two kinds:

·         First kind is the Seeker in the likeness of the eyes of the hawk: the food of such Seeker is ‘Didaar’ and the Murshid e Kamil (Perfect Guide) is the bestower of the Sight of Allah (Didaar).

·         Second is (the Seeker) in the likeness of the nestling of Ghaliwaaz (perhaps it means the bird ‘kite’) whose food is the carrion carcass of world and the Naqis Murshid (Imperfect Guide) the granter of the carrion carcass. 

(It) means that every esteem and honor Jamiyat (Stability) Qurb (propinquity) of Hazoori and the Marifat and Liqa (meeting) was received by man only because of the blessing of the Nafs.  That person who complains against Nafs he is Na-Mard (lacking quality of Real Masculine) because the Nafs e Mutma’ina [8:27] is [totally] Noor (Light) and the Arif Faqeer always remains honored with the seeing the Sight of God (Didaar).

Nafs is of four kinds:

1.      First: the Nafs of the Kafir (non-believer) person is Kafir (non-believer);

2.      Second: the Nafs of the hypocrite person is hypocrite;

3.      Third: the Nafs of a Muslim person is Muslim

4.      Fourth: the Nafs of the True Believer person (Mo’min) is also True Believer.

My Lord says: “Allah tasks not a soul beyond its scope” (2:286)

The unruly Nafs can be brought in control only through the Qurb (propinquity) of Didaar. 

Suggested Meanings:

Mashq e Wujudia: exercise inscribing Holy Words on eyes ears head hands feet tongue and (front and back) bosom through Visualization and Contemplation. Aamil: skilled doer perfect applier of knowledge. Kimyagar: alchemist. Didaar: seeing the Sight of Allah.

BAYT (COUPLET)

The Ilm (knowledge) of the inward is like butter and the Ilm (knowledge) outward is like milk

Then without milk how butter can be got?  And how can the Perfect become without a Pir?

The Seeker who beseeches ‘Allah’ from Pir and Murshid (Guide) he is the most fortunate and is worthy of Tauhid.  He reaches the Martaba (Rank) of Sultan Bayazid [Bastami] Rahmatullah Alaihi.  Whoso is without a Murshid (Guide) and a Pir that Seeker is as if he has become Mureed of Satan!  What is the sign of (identification) of the Murshid e Kamil (Perfect Guide)?  The sign of (identification) of the Murshid e Kamil (Perfect Guide) is that he through the gaze of the Name Allah the Essence takes the Seeker of Allah to the Mushahida (Vision) of Hazoor (Attendance).  That Murshid (Guide) from whom the Seeker of Allah does not get the Martaba (Rank) of Mushahida (Vision) and Hazoori in the very first day he is Imperfect and unable.  Talqeen (Instruction) and Irshaad (Directive) cannot be initiated by him.  And there are various methods of the Mushahida (Vision) of Hazoori.

The Mushahida (Vision) of Hazoori and Zikr and Fikr (Thoughtful Recollection) are other.  And the Mushahida (Vision) of Hazoori and the Ilhaam of the Qurb (propinquity) to Lord the incoming and outgoing of Message is other.  And the Mushahida (Vision) of Hazoori and being with destroyed Nafs and becoming Fana Fi Allah (Destroyed in Allah) Ba Khuda (godly) and honored with Liqa (meeting) is other.  And witnessing the Mushahida (Vision) of Hazoori of the Majlis (Court) of Prophet Sal Allahu Alaihi Wa Aalihi Wassallam is other.

The Perfect Faqeer awards the success of all the Uloom (Science) of the visions of Hazoori to the Seeker within an hour through Tahqeeqaat (Researches) of the Hazraat of the Name Allah the Essence.  Every Ilm (knowledge) of the Holy Quran and Hadis and the sacred Verses of the Holy Quran have honor and dignity by the Name Allah the Essence.  Whoso attained the Martaba (Rank) and office of the Holy Prophets dignified Aulia Allah and the Ghaus and Qutub and Darwaish Faqeers attained through the Name Allah the Essence.
