जो दिल मुहब्बत की बीमारी से आशना न हो, वो दिल हीं नहीं। जो जिस्म इश्क़ के दुखों से आशना नहीं, वो जिस्म कुछ नहीं गीली मिट्टी है।

महान उस्तादों के शागिर्दों के सामने सब से बड़ा ख़तरा यह होता है कि वे सारे उस्ताद की परस्तिश करने लगते हैं। जबकि इस के बजाय उन्हें उस्ताद से सीखे उसूलों पर ज़िंदगी गुज़ारनी चाहिए।

ख़ुदा ने इंसान के अंदर दो दिल नहीं बनाए, उसने तुम्हारे अंदर सिर्फ़ एक दिल रखा है, ताकि तुम एक ही दिल से सिर्फ़ उसी से मुहब्बत करो और हर ‘ग़ैर’ से मुँह फेर लो और ख़ुद को उसकी इबादत के लिए वक़्फ़ कर दो और अपने दिल को सौ टुकड़ों में बाँटने से बचे रहो।

अस्ल में सिर्फ़ एक ही वुजूद है, जो इन सारे ख़ुदा के दिखाई देने के दर्जों (दर्जात-ए-मज़ाहिर) में बहता है। ये सारे दर्जे वहदानियत (एकत्व) की सिर्फ़ झलक भर हैं।

इंसानी सिफ़ात, ज़ाहिरी सूरत में ख़ुदा की सिफ़ात ही हैं। इंसानी सिफ़ात ख़ुदा के साथ ऐसे जुड़ी हैं, जैसे कि कुल के साथ उस का जुज़ जुड़ा होता है। सच्चा विसाल ये है कि इंसान बाक़ी सब कुछ छोड़कर सिर्फ़ उस एक यग़ाना के मुराक़बे में पूरी तरह डूब जाए।

जब सच्चा तलबगार अपने अंदर इलाही कशिश की शुरुआत महसूस करता है, वह शुरुआत जो कि हक़ के ख़याल के सुरूर के रूप में होती है। तो उसे चाहिए कि वो इस अनुभव को बढ़ाने और मज़बूत बनाने में जी-जान झोंक दे और इस के साथ ही उन सारी चीज़ों को छोड़ जो इस के ख़िलाफ़ हों।

अगर तुम्हारे अंदर इश्क़ दिखाई देता है, तो उस की जड़ हुस्न में है। तुम कुछ नहीं हो, मगर एक आईना हो जिस में हुस्न का अक्स दिखाई देता है। क्योंकि हुस्न और उस का अक्स दोनों की ज़ड़ें एक ही जगह हैं, इसलिए वो ख़ज़ाना भी है और ख़ज़ानाघर भी।

ख़ुदा हर साँस के साथ एक नए रूप में ज़ाहिर होता है और वो कभी अपने रूप को दोहराता नहीं। यानी वो लगातार दो क्षणों में एक ही रूप और ढंग से जलवागर नहीं होता, बल्कि हर क्षण नए रूप पेश करता है।

क्योंकि सिर्फ़ ख़ुदा ही अकेली हक़ीक़ी मौजूदगी रखता है, इसलिए इंसान की मौजूदगी ग़ैर-हक़ीक़ी है और उस की मौजूदगी की औक़ात भी कुछ नहीं। ख़ुदा के सिवा उस की कोई हस्ती नहीं।

इंसानी ज़ात जिस्मानी लिहाज से देखने पर तो सब से निचले मुक़ाम पर है, लेकिन रूहानी लिहाज़ से देखने पर वो एक ऊँचे मुक़ाम पर है। उस का जिस तरफ़ ध्यान जाता है, वह उसी की छाप क़ुबूल कर लेता है और जिस के क़रीब होता है, उसी का रंग इख़्तियार कर लेता है।

सच्चे आरिफ़ का दिल ख़ुदा के तसव्वुर के अलावा सभी ख़्यालात से पाक रहता है। ख़ुदी को पूरी तरह फ़ना कर देने का मतलब है सारी इंसानी सिफ़ात तो फ़ना हो ही जाएँ और वो शऊर भी इन के साथ फ़ना हो जाए, जिस से पता चलता है कि ख़ुदी फ़ना हो चुकी है।

उस की ज़ात और उस का वुजूद एक ही हैं। इलाही सिफ़ात जैसे इल्म, क़ुदरत और इरादा हमारे हिसाब से एक-दूसरे से जुदा और अलग-अलग मानी वाली लग सकती हैं, लेकिन सच में वो उस एक इलाही वुजूद की ही एक पहचान हैं।

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.

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”.
