جو دل محبت کی بیماری سے آشنا نہ ہو وہ دل ہی نہیں، جو جسم عشق کے دکھوں سے آشنا نہ ہو، وہ جسم کچھ نہیں گیلی مٹی ہے۔

عظیم استادوں کے شاگردوں کے سامنے سب سے بڑا خطرہ یہ ہوتا ہے کہ وہ استاد کی پرستش کرنے لگتے ہیں، جبکہ اس کے بجائے انہیں استاد سے سیکھے ہوئے اصولوں کے مطابق زندگی گزارنی چاہیے۔

خدا نے انسان کے اندر دو دل نہیں بنائے، اس نے تمہارے اندر صرف ایک دل رکھا ہے تاکہ تم ایک ہی دل سے صرف اسی سے محبت کرو، تمام غیر سے کنارہ کش ہو جاؤ اور خود کو اس کی عبادت کے لیے وقف کر دو اور دل کو سو ٹکڑوں میں تقسیم کرنے سے باز رہو۔

حقیقت میں صرف ایک ہی واحد وجود ہے جو ان تمام درجاتِ مظاہر میں جاری و ساری ہے اور یہ تمام درجات وحدانیت کی صرف تفصیلات ہیں۔

انسانی صفات، ظاہری صورت میں الٰہی صفات ہی ہیں، وہ ذاتِ حق کے ساتھ یوں وابستہ ہیں جیسے کل کے ساتھ اس کا جز، وصال اس بات میں ہے کہ انسان باقی سب کچھ چھوڑ کر صرف اس ایک یگانہ وجود کے مراقبے میں پوری طرح غرق ہو جائے۔

جب سچا طالب اپنے دل میں حق کی طرف ایک نئی کشش محسوس کرنے لگے ایسی کشش جو حق کا خیال آتے ہی دل میں سرور پیدا کر دے تو اسے چاہیے کہ اس کیفیت کو بڑھانے اور پختہ کرنے میں اپنی پوری قوت صرف کر دے اور ہر اس چیز سے کنارہ کش ہو جائے جو اس کے خلاف ہو۔

اگر تمہارے اندر عشق ظاہر ہوتا ہے تو اس کا سرچشمہ حسن میں ہے، تم کچھ نہیں مگر ایک آئینہ ہو جس میں حسن عکس انداز ہوتا ہے، چوں کہ حسن اور اس کا عکس دونوں اسی ایک سرچشمے سے ہیں، اس لیے وہ خزانہ بھی ہے اور گنجینہ بھی۔

خدا ہر سانس کے ساتھ ایک نئی تجلی میں ظاہر ہوتا ہے اور وہ کبھی اپنی تجلیات کو دہراتا نہیں یعنی وہ مسلسل دو لمحات میں ایک ہی مظاہر اور انداز میں جلوہ گر نہیں ہوتا بلکہ ہر لمحہ نئے مظاہر پیش کرتا ہے۔

چوں کہ صرف خدا ہی واحد موجودِ حقیقی ہے، اس لیے انسان معدوم اور غیر حقیقی ہے، خدا کے سوا اس کی کوئی ہستی نہیں۔

انسان اپنی جسمانی ساخت کے اعتبار سے پست ترین مقام پر ہے لیکن اپنی روحانی حقیقت کے لحاظ سے وہ بلندیِ شرافت پر فائز ہے، وہ جس طرف توجہ کرتا ہے اسی کی چھاپ قبول کر لیتا ہے اور جس کے قریب ہوتا ہے اسی کا رنگ اختیار کر لیتا ہے۔

سچے عارف کا دل خدا کے تصور کے علاوہ تمام خیالات سے پاک رہتا ہے، خودی کی مکمل فنائیت کا مطلب تمام انسانی صفات کی فنائیت ہے، بشمول اس شعور کے کہ خودی فنا ہوچکی ہے۔

اس کی ذات اور اس کا وجود ایک ہی ہیں، الٰہی صفات جیسے علم، قدرت اور ارادہ ہمارے نزدیک ایک دوسرے سے جدا اور الگ معانی رکھتی ہوئی معلوم ہوسکتی ہیں لیکن حقیقت میں وہ اس ایک ہی الٰہی وجود کے ساتھ عینِ متفق ہیں۔

NO ONE EVER SUFFERED ON THE PATH OF FAITH WHO DID NOT FIND THE REMEDY FOR HIS OR HER PAIN.

WE ARE BY NATURE ASTONISHINGLY HEEDLESS AND INCAPABLE OF GRATITUDE. WE CAN SPEND A WHOLE LIFETIME ENJOYING VARIOUS BENEFITS AND NOT APPECIATE THEIR VALUE UNTIL WE ARE DEPRIVED OF THEM. HOW MANY LOVERS BOLDLY CONTEMPLATE SEPARATION, FONDLY IMAGINING THAT THEY HAD ENOUGH OF THE BELOVED. AND YET AS SOON AS THEY ACTUALLY EXPERIENCE SEPARATION, THEY BURN UP WITH LONGING.

SIGHT IS NOT THE ONLY WAY THAT LOVE ENTERS THE HEART; IT OFTEN HAPPENS THAT LOVE IS BORN OF THE SPOKEN WORD. THE ECHO OF BEAUTY ENTERING THE EAR MAY ROB HEART AND SOUL OF PEACE AND REASON.

IT IS A PRINCIPLE OF BEAUTY THAT A FAIR FACE CAN NOT BEAR TO REMAIN HIDDIN BEHIND THE CURTAIN; IT IS INCAPABLE OF MODESTY, AND IF YOU CLOSE THE DOOR ON IT, IT WILL ONLY APPEAR AT THE WINDOW. AS YOU YOURSELF KNOW, WHEN A RARE AND WONDERFUL IDEA ARISES IN YOUR MIND, YOU BECOME OBESSED WITH IT AND HAVE TO EXPRESS IT IN SPEECH OR WRITING.

Unification consists in unifying the heart i,e., purifying it and expelling from it attachment to all things other that the “Truth”. So long as a man remains imprisoned in the snare of passion and lusts, it is hard for him to manintian close communion with the “Truth” (God).

The various grades of created things are theatres of His revelaed beauty, and all things that exist are mirrors of His perfection.And in this course you must persevere until He mingles Himself with your soul, and your own individual existence passes out of your sight. Then if you regards yourself; it is He whom you are regarding; if you speak of yourself, it is He of whom you are speaking.

At the beginning of things, the Beloved (God) unveiled His beauty, in the solitude of the invisible world. He showed all the His Beauty unto Himself. He was in truth, both seer and seen: none execpt Him had looked upon this world. Ali was one, there was no duality; no assertion of “mine” or “thine”.
