Making Color therapy Medicine

Every part of the body has a specific colour e.g. blue is for treating the problems concerning the head. Neck and face, Orange is for diseases of the chest, yellow is for the problems of stomach and violet and purple is for the problems of the Sex organs and sexual diseases. Therapists treat a disease according to their knowledge and expertise, using these colours and their combinations.

Principle:
When the ratio of required colours in one or more centers of the colours imbalances, it gives rise to various problems and When the colours balance, diseases are easily cured. In order to overcome the deficiency or to normalize excess of a colour, Sunlight or the artificial lights are used.

Method of treatment:
Treatment using colours is so simple that even a man of common understanding can make good use of this therapeutic system. It takes less time at an affordable cost, almost none to get well.

The following methods can be used for treating diseases under This therapeutic system:

Exposing body intermittently in the sunlight for brief intervals. Spectrum of the sunlight contains all the colours in it, and exposure of the body before the sunlight provides it a chance to absorb the colour required by it. Colours of the light are the actual remedy for the diseases; heat of the sunlight is extra thing, which the body receives.

a) Have a glass bottle of the required colour. After cleansing it with hot water, fill it with distilled water or with water that has been sterilized by boiling. Let one fourth of the bottle remain empty. If the bottle of the required colour is not available. Take an ordinary transparent glass bottle and enwrap it in a cellophane paper of required colour in such a manner the bottle is covered from all sides using transparent adhesive tape.

b) Place this bottle in the sunlight, keeping it on a wooden surface for four to six hours. The best time to treat water with coloured rays is from 10am till 4pm.

c) Accumulation of droplets in the empty surface of the bottle is an indication that the water has been charged enough. Keep the bottle properly secured with cork or stopper. If bottle of many colours are to be charged, do not place the close to another so that no bottle be over shadowed with a bottle of a different colour.

d) Dosage: Par adults: 2-ounce Chromatized Water for children: I-ounce, for babies: 1-table spoon and for infants one teaspoon

Caution:
Use only plastic cups or spoons for administering charged/Chromatized Water.

In the rainy season electric light bulb can be used instead of natural light. Another arrangement for charging the tablets of sugar of milk in the bottle of required colour before the rainy season is for six hours daily for one month and during summer time, fifteen to twenty days charging or Chromatization would be sufficient.

Using glasses of various colours in front of a projector can also provide us with rays of the required colour. Even in this way the medicines can also be prepared.

Get windowpanes painted with the required transparent colour or use coloured panes of required colour on the windows from where the sunlight could come into the room and the patient could sit or lie in that light, in such a manner that light pouring into the room should fall on the affected part of the body for duration deemed necessary.

A wooden or hardboard box, installed with a reflector and a bulb of 100 watts. Having a window of appropriate size, can be used to get the rays of required colour. The window of the box is to be covered with coloured glass or a cellophane sheet of the colour needed. When the bulb would be switched on the light coming out of the box can be directed towards the affected pall of body from a distance of about 2 feet.

In treatment of the diseases under this therapeutic system, Chromatized oil has also proved very effective. The method of preparing Chromatized oil is to charge the flax or linseed oil under the sunrays for forty days, in glass bottles of required colours or 200 hrs under the artificial light. For massaging the affected part of the body this oil is used but for using on the head or as hair oil the sesame seed oil charged with sunrays using the glass bottles of sky blue colour is recommended. This oil is very effective to nullify the effects of heat in the blood, hearing of voices and sparks or black spots seen flying before the eyes.

Glass ampoules of distilled water can be charged and Chromatized in a jar or required colour for 200 hours under the sunlight or electric lights.

Soar eyes, conjunctivitis and post operation pains of eyes can be helped to cure using the spectacles with sky blue glasses, in the day time with intervals of fifteen to twenty minutes after every two to three hours.

For treating the burns, cuts and inflammatory wounds petroleum jelly Chromatized in blue glass jars for two hundred hours under the sun’ gives, remarkable affects. It cure the wounds and burns so effectively that even the scars are not seen later on when the wounds are healed, provided that the this treatment could be started immediately after receiving the cuts of burning and should be used till the scars are there.

Spiritual concept of Healing

When all diseases and ailments are counted their total exceeds hundreds. The nature and causes of these ailments vary. According to the “spiritual concept of healing” all diseases and ailments consist of two sides. One is physical and the other is either mental or spiritual. Extremities and other physical or chemical changes in the body cause sickness. Based on the spiritual concept of healing, all diseases have forms and figure and spiritual existence. These two sides do coexist. Because of the rise of psychological and physical ailments in our time, it is no longer difficult to grasp this idea. According to this spiritual idea, disease should be attacked not only on its physical side but also on its spiritual or mental side. When it is mentally negated, healing happens quickly. Not only healing is achieved but often complicated and incurable diseases are cured as well.

Since the spiritual side of diseases is not the subject matter of this book, we are only going to present a practical program through which healing power can be stored as much as possible in any individual. The more the storage, the more concentrated will be power of faith of the patient, resulting in faster healing. Following is the program itself:

Method of Healing:

Go to bed early at night and get up early in the morning at lease half hour before Fajar Prayer (before sun rise).

After wudu (Ablution), practice breathing exercise-1. Let your mind be free of any thought and do Dhikr (invocation) of the Divine Name – “Ya Hafeez’u” (the protector) until the start of the Fajar Prayer time.

After Fajar Prayer, do muraqba (meditation) imagining you are sitting inside the Divine Throne (Arsh e Elahii) and the lights of the Divine Name (Ya Shaafi – the Healer) are falling on you. Keep this muraqba (meditation) for at least ten to fifteen minutes.

Colors & Food:
Sunlight has Mineral & gases included which is an important component of human food. Food gives us energy & strength. If we use food and light (combination of colors) together it increases energy two folds.

Example:
One day I (Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi) was inspired that sunlight has all the colors and these colors fulfill our nutritional requirements. If we store sunlight in our biological system it can fulfill our nutritional requirements. According to the program I use to sit facing towards east before sunrise and through breathing pointed my mind towards a specific aliment and stored sun rays into my stomach. As a result there was no need for food except for water and neither did I felt any weakness, however when walking it felt much lighter and the impression of walking in space was created, solid walls were seen as made of paper.

Colors & Vitamins:
Sun is an important source for the extraction of Vitamin “D". Sunlight contains vitamins other than Vitamin D as well and every vitamin is related to some color.

VITAMIN	COLOR
VITAMIN A	YELLOW COLOR
VITAMIN B	GREEN COLOR
VITAMIN C	LEMON COLOR
VITAMIN D	VIOLET COLOR
VITAMIN E	VIOLET COLOR
VITAMIN K	DARK BLUE COLOR

The Best way of absorbing colors is to use fruits, vegetables and citrus things. The sunlight is directly absorbed in fruits and vegetables but we have to take care of color balance in our diet, by over cooking and frying a lot the colors in nutrition are lost.

The pure and chaste inner is filled with divine light which keeps enlightening the whole environment. The people who are covered with white (milky) light waves are reticent and take out time from worldly matters in order to sit in solitude and concentrate (meditate).

Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya

Mehboob-e-Elahi (RA)

Dargah Sharif - Hazrat Nizamuddin Awliya (RA) ,Delhi

Pic by - Syed Salman Chishty

“In Allah’s garden you gather roses,
Being drunk with divine mysteries:
Hazrat Mehboob-e-Elahi — the beloved of Allah,
O, how I long for the attar of your company

Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia (d. 1325 A.D.) represents in many ways the pinnacle of the Chishti Order of the Sufis. Hazrat Baba Farid, his spiritual guide, said to him on appointing him as his successor: “Be like a big tree, so that Allah’s creation, the human beings in their vast multitudes, may find rest and solace under your shadow.” This partly explains why he admitted so many (according to some, including Barani, too many) men into the Chishti order as his disciples. Another reason has been clearly formulated in this way: “History, nonetheless, bears out the wisdom of his open-ended policy . . . To far-flung areas of Uttar Pradesh, Rajastan, Gujarat, Bihar, Bengal and the Deccan, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia sent able disciples well versed in the Chishti practices, yet sensitive to the needs of the local populace.”

With regard to the Sufi path, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia taught the following: “For a dervish, three things are necessary. They all begin with an ‘ain’ (an Arabic letter), i.e., Ishq (love), Aql (intelligence) and Ilm (knowledge). Let us discuss these three qualities one by one.

Sufism is, in its essence, the way of love. Love is considered to be a spiritual alchemy by means of which the baser qualities of a human being are transformed into higher ones. In this respect it suffices to say that Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia is known as Mehboob-e-Elahi, the beloved of Allah. Of course the spiritual status of a beloved is much higher than that of a lover.

‘Intelligence’ changed in the hands of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia into wisdom. His wisdom manifested itself in the shape of service to humanity. About him it has been said: “He was not a miracle-monger of the ordinary sort. He never flew in the air or walked on water with dry and motionless feet. His greatness was the greatness of a loving heart; his miracles were the miracles of a deeply sympathetic soul. He could read a man’s inner heart by a glance at his face and spoke the words that brought consolation to a tortured heart.”

About ‘knowledge’, the third faculty of a dervish, it can be said that Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia was one of the greatest scholars of his day. He wanted to become a Qazi, but gave it all up in his pursuit of inner knowledge. After becoming a Murid (spiritual disciple) of Hazrat Baba Farid, he lived in extremely poor circumstances. Seeing him, a former friend expressed great surprise as he remembered Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia as one who had begun a very promising career as a scholar. When Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia told all of this to Hazrat Baba Farid, his murshid (spiritual guide) suggested that he should recite the following couplet to his friend:

You are not my fellow traveller.
Tread your own path
May you be affluent.
And I downtrodden.Then Hazrat Baba Farid ordered him to take a tray of food from the kitchen and carry it on his head to his friend. After doing so, he recited the verse. This deeply moved his friend.

One day, someone told a story of a certain saint who expired while slowly repeating the name of Allah. The eyes of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia, who was listening to this story, filled with tears and he recited this quatrain: I come running to the end of Your street,
Tears are washing and washing my cheek.
Union with You — what else can I seek?
My soul I surrender as Your name I repeat.1. Early Years
After leaving their homeland the city of Bokhara, the paternal grandfather of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia — Khwaja Ali — and the maternal grandfather of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia — Khwaja Arab — along with their family, came to India. At first they lived in Lahore, but later they took up their residence in Badayun (East of Delhi). Khwaja Arab married his daughter Bibi Zulaitaikha to Khwaja Ali’s son Khwaja Ahmad.

The birth of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia took place on the last Wednesday of the month of Safar, i.e., the 27th of Safar 636 A.H. (1238 A.D.) Up to this day, his birthday celebration takes place. His shrine is bathed and the water thereof is distributed among the visitors.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia’s father expired when Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia was five years old. His mother brought him to a school where he learned to recite the holy Qur’an. In a short time he mastered the seven ways of recitation of the holy Qur’an. Then he studied Arabic grammar, Ahadith (traditions of the Prophet Mohammed, peace be upon him), commentary of the Qur’an and logic. At the age of twelve, he received the “turban of excellence.” He was so sharp-witted, wise and understanding that he was given the title “Debater, capable of defeating the congregation.” He became distinguished in the science of Tafsir (commentary on the Qur’an), in the knowledge of Ahadith, in Fiqh (Islamic Jurisprudence), mathematics and astronomy. Khwaja Shamsul Malik was among his most learned teachers. He received a testimony of knowledge of Ahadith from Maulana Kamaluddin. [2]

Although in that period, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia used to sit among the ulama (the scholars of Islam), he was more interested in the inner life. He often used to say: “In the days of youth, I used to live in the company of the ulama, but in my heart the thought used to come that I should go away from their company and turn my face to the Divine Teacher.” [3]

II. Baba Farid
One day a certain Qawwal (Sufi musician), with the name of Abu Bakr, came from Multan (Pakistan) to Hazrat Nizamuddin’s teacher. The teacher asked for information about the Sufi Sheikhs of Multan. Abu Bakr answered thus: “I have lived in the company of Hazrat Sheikh Bahauddin Zakaria of Multan and I have sung mystical couplets for him. In his Khanqah (Sufi monastery) the worship of Allah is very devoted, so much so that even the girls who knead the flour, while doing so, are occupied with the Zikr (remembrance of Allah). From there I went to Ajodhan (the present Pak Pattan in Pakistan). There I got the privilege of meeting Hazrat Baba Fariduddin Gang-e-Shakar,” That sovereign of love of God has conquered the world and the light of his moon has illuminated that area.”

“When I heard these words of praise in regard to Baba Fariduddin Ganj-e-Shakar,” Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia says, I developed a sudden and intense love for him and I began to repeat his name after every Namaz (prayer).”

The Qawwal had started his concert with this line: “The living serpent of love has bitten my heart.” But then Abu Bakr could not recollect the second line. Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia helped him to do so, and seeing this, the Qawwal became very attentive towards him. From that day, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia became very much attached to Baba Farid.

III. Coming to Delhi
“When my eighteenth year began,” Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia tells, “I travelled from Badayun to Delhi.” Musamma Ayuz accompanied him in this journey. Ayuz was a staunch believer in the spiritual greatness of Baba Farid. Whenever he saw the slightest danger because of robbers or wild beasts, he would cry out: “O, Pir! Come! I need your protection.” “I asked him the name of that Pir and Ayuz said: “It is the one who has caught your heart and got you enamoured,” meaning Baba Farid. Thus from that day my faith in the Sheikh increased.”

“When in Delhi, I stayed by chance near Hazrat Baba Fariduddin’s brother and caliph Hazrat Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakkil. My mother and sister were also with me. We rented a house in the neighbourhood of the great Sheikh, whose company was very valuable to me. In his presence, the qualities of Baba Fariduddin Ganj-e-Shakar used to be described. On hearing them, I felt the desire of kissing his feet. For approximately three years I stayed in Delhi.” [4]

IV. Meeting Baba Farid
One day Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia said to Sheikh Najibuddin Mutawakkil that he should pray to God, so that he (Nizamuddin) might become a Qazi. Then he would be able to spread justice among the creatures of God. The Sheikh remained silent. When Hazrat Nizamuddin repeated his question, he answered thus: “God forbid that you be a Qazi; be something else!”

In those days, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia used to spend the nights at the Jama Masjid. One morning, the muezzin (the one who calls to the prayer) recited the following verse from the minaret: “Has not the time come
For the faithful
That their hearts should bend
For the remembrance of Allah” [Qur’an 57:16]Hearing this, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia’s condition changed. It was as if he received spiritual illumination from every direction. And, without any food, he left Delhi in order to present himself to Baba Farid. At the age of twenty, on Wednesday the 11th of Rajab 655 A.H. (1257 A.D.), he reached Ajodhan. Coming before Hazrat Baba Farid, he unsuccessfully tried to summon up courage to tell in detail how eager he was to see him. He could not do so, because of awe. Baba Farid then said: “Every newcomer is nervous.” Thereafter Baba Farid recited this verse: “O, the fire of separation of Thee,
Has made the hearts like roasted meat;
The flood of the fondness of Thee,
Has made the lives morose.”Then Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia was honoured to be accepted as the mureed (spiritual disciple) of Baba Farid. Then Baba Sahib remarked: “O, Nizamuddin! I wanted to entrust the domain of Delhi to someone else. When you were on the way I heard a voice to the effect that I should wait as Nizamuddin is coming. He is fit for this domain. It should be entrusted to him. So stay in our company so that after completing your inner training, we will appoint you as our caliph and as the Wali-e-Hindustan (the saint of India).”

Hazrat Nizamuddin lived in the company of his Pir-o-murshid (spiritual guide) for seven months and a few days. In this short period, he became deserving of the khilafat of the great mystic Baba Farid. On the second of Rabi’ul Awwal 656 A.H. (1258 A.D.), Baba Farid bestowed khilafat and wilayat to Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia by giving him the special turban, which came to Baba Sahib from Chisht (Afghanistan). After coming to Delhi, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia ascended the throne of khilafat-e-piran-e-Chisht[5], i.e., he became a caliph of the Chishti Sheikhs. Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia came ten times to Ajodhan: three times in the life of Baba Farid and seven times after his death [6].

After residing in Delhi for a few days, he disdained the crowds of people and desired to withdraw himself to the desert. He then received a Divine inspiration that his place of residence should be Ghiyaspur, a small village outside the city of Delhi. First he had raised a temporary shed with a straw roof for himself and all his companions. After some time, a better place was constructed for him by one of his disciples, Ziauddin Wakil Mulk. Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia lived here for more than sixty years and never changed his place of residence. The khanaqah is still there and is visited by many people up to this day.

V. Death
After an illness of about four months he expired in 725 A.H. (1324 A.D.) and realized seclusion (i.e., was buried) in Ghiyaspur. The locality is named after him today.

VI. Nature
After passing the spiritual status of ghousiat and farwaniyat, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia reached the status of Mehboob (beloved). His personality was the container of divine secrets and his intentions were in harmony with those of Allah. He spread a very fine fragrance. Qazi Hamiduddin Kashani also became fragrant with this scent and unsuccessfully tried to wash it way. He narrated the incident to Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia, who explained it thus: “Qazi, this fragrance is of the love of Allah, which He gives to His lovers.”

In the early period of his life he experienced great poverty. Although in Sultan Ghyasuddin Balban’s time one could buy melons for very little money, the greater part of the season would pass without Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia eating a single slice. One day a pious woman brought some barley flour and presented it to him. He asked Sheikh Kamaluddin Yaqub to boil it in a cauldron. At that moment a faqir with a patched frock arrived and with a loud voice said: “O, Nizamuddin! bring whatever is present.” Then Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia gave all the food to him. The faqir ate it all and then broke the cauldron. Hereafter he said: “O, Nizamuddin! You have received the bounties of the invisible world from Baba Farid and the bowl of visible poverty I have broken. Now you have become the sultan of both the visible and invisible world.” From that day on, countless gifts started coming and free food was distributed to hundreds of visitors every day.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia was very generous as can be seen in the following narration, which can be found in Jami’s “Nafhatul Uns.” A merchant of Multan lost all his possessions to a band of thieves. He told Sheikh Sadruddin, the son of the famous Suhrawardy saint (Shaikh Bahauddin Zakaria of Multan), that he intended to go to Delhi and asked for a letter of recommendation to Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia. Then he was told by the great saint that he would receive all the gifts that would be given from the morning to the chasht (forenoon) prayers. About 12,000 golden and silver coins were received. All these were given to the merchant.

Every day large numbers of gifts used to be received, but they were distributed before the evening. More than three thousand needy people used to live on the langar (tree feeding).

Shortly before his death, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia called Khadim Iqbal and said: “Whatever cash is present, bring it so that I may distribute it to the deserving.” Iqbal replied: “Whatever gifts come, they are spent on the same day. But there are a few thousand tons of grain in our storeroom.” Bring it out and distribute it to the deserving,” said Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia had great love of sama (Sufi music). His friends, disciples and students used to perform such Qawwali (music) in his presence, that even animals used to stop and listen to it [7]. One day he was out for a walk, when he saw a person who was pulling water out of a well and was saying in a loud voice to his companions: “Remain outside today, brother!” Hazrat Nizamuddin, after hearing this, started weeping, and his khuddam (servants) repeated that line until they reached home again.

Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia remained a bachelor all his life. Once his kamarband (a rope used to fasten a pair of trousers) got away from his hand. Baba Farid then said: “Tighten the kamarband properly.” Hazrat Nizamuddin asked: “How should I do it? Baba Sahib answered: “Tighten it in such a way that except the houris of heaven, nobody is capable of opening it.” Hearing that Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia put his head on the floor and did not marry . [8]

VII. Writing and sayings
Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia collected the discourses of his Pir-o-murshid in a book called “Rahat-ul-Qulodo.”

Some of the sayings of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia: 1. The wilayat (domain) of gnosis and faith can suffer decay. The wilayat of compassion can not. 2. The love of Awlia (saints) is stronger than their reason. 3. The lock of spiritual perfection has very many keys. All those keys are to be possessed. If one does not open it, others can. 4. He who has knowledge, reason, and love, is deserving to become a caliph of the Sufi sheikhs. 5. So long as is possible, give relief to your heart, because the heart of a good Muslim is the palace of the manifestations of Allah. VIII. Miracles
Once Sultan Qutbuddin Mubarak Shah asked Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia to come to him on the last day of every month. Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia responded: “It is against the tradition of my sheikhs. I will never go to meet the king.” His friends advised him to turn for help to his Sheikh Baba Farid, so that the problem would be solved. Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia refused to do so, saying: “The tasks of religion alone are many. I feel ashamed to give pain to the Sheikh for a worldly affair.” He then said: “The king will not be victorious over me for I have had a certain dream. I saw that an animal with horns was attacking me. Upon it coming closer, I took hold of its horns and threw the animal on the earth in such a way that it was killed.” That day, after the noon prayers, he declined to visit the king. When two hours of the day remained, he was asked again to visit the king. He gave no reply. But it so happened that upon that very night, the king was murdered by a certain Khusru Khan. [9]

Another Sultan by the name of Ghiyasuddin Tughlaq, wanted Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia to leave Ghiyaspur before the Sultan’s visit to Delhi. Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia, was saddened by this and remarked: “Delhi is still far away.” Then just before the arrival of the king in Delhi, the palace of Tughlaqabad fell upon him and he was killed.[10]

Sultan Alauddin had the fear in his heart that Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia wished to rule the kingdom himself and that he was only waiting for the proper time and chance to overthrow him. As a test, he sent some complicated matters related to state affairs to Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia and asked for its solution. Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia reacted thus: “What have the dervishes, seated on rugs, to do with the affairs of kings seated on thrones? It is better that the time of the dervish is not wasted and conscience of the faqura is not put to test.” When the king respectfully invited Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia to visit him, the latter answered thus: “The affections of a dervish should be seen as a bird to which distress is caused by the hawk of kingly shows. It is better and enough to keep acquaintance through greetings.”

Khwaja Hasan, who had lived in the company of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia when he was much younger, along with all his friends, was involved in the drinking of wine. One day, near the mausoleum of Hazrat Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Khaki, they met again. Khwaja Hasan then recited this verse: “For years we have been in each others’ company,
But your company did me no good.
Your piety could not correct my sinful life.
My sinful life is therefore stronger than your piety.”After hearing this verse, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia simply said: “There are different effects of company on different men.” At once, Khwaja Hasan fell down at the feet of Hazrat Nizamuddin and along with his friends became a murid (spiritual disciple) of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia.

Hazrat Sheikh Nasiruddin of Oudh related that he used to receive worldly knowledge from Qazi Muhiddin Kashani. He suddenly became ill and no hope of life remained. Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia visited Sheikh Naseeruddin when he was unconscious. Then Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia rubbed his hand over his face. Immediately Sheikh Naseeruddin regained consciousness and put his head on the feet of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia.

One day a murid of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia prepared a feast for his Sheikh. Qawwals were also called and food was prepared. But when the same (music) started, thousands of people joined in. The host became worried because of the shortage of food. Feeling this, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia said to his khadim (servant): “Wash the hands of the people and let ten people sit at one place. Start giving the food after saying ‘Bismillah‘ (In the Name of Allah).” It so happened that everyone had enough food and there was a great deal of food left over. [11]

It is narrated that a certain Shamsuddin was a very rich man and had no faith in the spirituality of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia. Instead he used to speak ill of him in his absence. One day, he was drinking wine with his friends and suddenly he saw Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia appear in front of him, who made a prohibiting sign with his finger. Shamsuddin then threw the wine in the water and started towards the house of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia after performing the ritual ablutions. Seeing him, Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia said: “Whoever is blessed by Allah, he abstains from sins like this.” Hearing this, Shamsuddin became very astonished and with complete faith became his murid. He distributed all his money to the dervishes and in a short time became a Wali (saint) himself.

IX. A story
One day Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia was listening to Qawwali and in ecstasy, waving his handkerchief, said: “We regret, we have not become equal to the washermans’ son even.” At that moment no one dared to ask what he meant, but some days afterwards he was asked about it by Hazrat Amir Khusru. The explanation of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia was like this: “The son of the washerman of the king, without seeing the princess, was in love with her. He used to wash her clothes with utmost care, and even mended and improved them by various means. Without seeing her, he used to moan and weep in the memory of her beauty. His parents became very worried. To speak about it is a problem and not to speak about it is a problem. We are washers and she is a princess. How can the dust of the earth be compared with the sky?

So they tricked him in order to try and change their son’s ideas. One day his mother came to him with a grief-stricken face. He asked what was the matter with her. Then she explained “Today was the soyam (the third day after the death) of the princess whose clothes you used to wash. The boy three times asked: “Has she died?” — and then with a shriek died.

On the fourth day, the washerwoman brought the clothes back to the princess. She asked: “Who has washed these clothes today? They do not look as clean as they used to be. Their neatness used to look as if love has been involved.” Hearing this, the washerwoman became sad and started weeping. On being forced by the princess, she explained everything. The princess then wished to visit his grave. At once, when she was there, the grave cracked and the princess said: “It cracked at places. Ah! Whose grave is this? Probably a restless heart is buried in it.” Then the princess fell down and expired. [12]

X. Poetry
The following is a translation of Hazrat Nizamuddin Awlia’s famous poem in honour of the Prophet: O breeze! turn towards Medina (and) from this well-wisher recite the Salaam.
Turn round the king of the prophets (and) with the utmost humility recite the Salaam.
Sometimes pass the gate of mercy (and) with the gate of Gabriel rule the forehead.
Salaam to the prophet of God (and) sometimes recite Salaam at the gate of peace.
Put with all respect the head of faith on the dust there.
Be one with the sweet melody of David and be acquainted with the cry of anguish.
In the assembly of the prophets recite verses from the humble being ‘Nizam’.

Types of Divine Light

Whenever the universe comes under discussion, we talk about it remaining confined in the limits of time and space. Life is known because of form and features and physical appearance. One aspect of life comprises of form, features and appearance and the other one is based upon the speed. We do note the change in features but the time (speed) upon which the features grow remains hidden from the sight. From where man comes and where his childhood, youth and old age vanishes are Time and the features that we see in different stages of life are the Space.

  There are two aspects of life. One is constant and the other, on the one hand increases, on the other decreases and yet at another annihilates. The constant aspect of life is Time and the aspect upon which it is increasing, decreasing and annihilating is the Space.

 Spiritual sciences guide us to know that light is the basis of the cosmic relationship. One type of light is visible for the physical eyes and only the inner sight can witness the other type of light. Root cause of light is invariant and the light where it is displayed, as Space is variable. The invariant light, too, contains the forms, features, shapes and bodies.

 Every action or the movement of life is linked with thoughts. We cannot act upon anything if information about that action or movement is not provided. Movement is initiated as soon as information is received. Actions are manifestations of the information. Every moment of life on the one hand is increasing and on the other it is annihilating, that is, every moment is coming from somewhere and is being recorded. Development of the human life depends upon this upcoming and recording of the moments.

 We have to admit that before his birth man existed somewhere, from there he came to this world and from here he has to go away. This coming into the world is the descending movement and going away from this world is the ascending movement. There exists another world besides this material world, which also is composed of two aspects. One is the Erebus (Burzakh) and the other is the Purgatory (Airaaf). Man in his individual capacity descends in this world from the Preserved Scripturum and the intermediary zone between them, where the information about Time and Space are provided to man, is called Erebus or Burzakh. And, the zone in which on stays after passing away from this world is called Purgatory or Airaaf. Life in the Erebus or the Purgatory is as busy and active as it is in this world. The difference between the life here and the hereafter is that here man accepts the information, which he receives from the Preserved Scripturum, after it passes through the Erebus and, he ascribes meanings to that information, either positively or negatively, whereas, in the Hereafter the information is simply acted upon without assigning any positive or negative meanings to it.

 Ascribing meanings is also of two types; one, in which there is destructiveness and the other, which is constructive. But, when some actions are taken into consideration, it is observed that the action remains the same it is only the approach of ascribing meanings to that action that makes it either constructive or destructive. A person, for instance, lights fire so that he could warm himself or cook food but another person uses it to burn down a house. Now, the same one act of lighting fire is used in two different rather opposite manners.

  Origin of all that exists in this universe is the information and this very information takes life into positive or negative direction. Before taking action, information is compulsory. We can see the action but the information remains obscure from our physical sight.

 The positive and negative abilities mean that, on the one hand, we are negating every moment of life and, on the other we accept them to remain in action. Water exists because we know that water is inevitable for quenching thirst. The information-supplying agency is the soul and the ascribing meaning to the information is called water.

 Thirst is the soul and water is the body. Water is one aspect ad the thirst is the other, which are apparently opposite to each other but they are two integral parts of the same one thing. Thirst from water and the water from thirst cannot be separated. Water will exist as long as the thirst or the urge to take water is there. Thirst is evident upon the existence of water and vice versa.

 Two aspects combining together form a being and nothing exists without having these two aspects. Sometimes the spatial distance is there between these two aspects and sometimes it is temporal distance. And one of these two distances one dominates the other. A man born on this planet lives and then finally expires. The features of the temporal distance are the life of that person and the acts and deeds performed in life are the space.

 Human and Angelic properties

Nasma is such a light that can be termed as void or empty space. It means that void is also an existing being and when it is a being it has to have movement in it. The void is such a being that is moving from the Eternity towards the Infinity. This movement is covered in stages. The first stage of this movement is the Angelic Realm, which is devoid of material elements.

 Time is nasma, nasma is light, light is a void and void is a being that has movement in it. The simple and singular movement of the void is the Simple Nasma. When the spatial distance is included in the void, the movement of the void and the movement of the distance combine together and form and features come into being. This dual movement is called the Compound Nasma. The same is also known as Tripartite; the three realms of animal, plants and non-living things.

 Time is the origin and base and space is the features formed upon this origin or base. The physical eyes can witness space but time remains obscure from the physical sight. Time is nasma, a light and a void. Space is an existent having movement in it and the physical sight can see the display of this movement. Concentration of lights increases in nasma with the increase of its inclination towards the compound nasma (space). The concentration of lights also has two stages of ain (substantiality) and makan (spatiality). Ain is the structural formation and the makan is the manifestation. The formation remains obscure but the object can be sighted. If a things, for instance, has the cooling effect. The thing is witnessed but the coolness cannot be sighted, it can only be felt through other senses. We see the rose flower but its smell cannot be seen. When see a beautiful person, the face and figure is seen but the attraction of the beauty is not seen, it is only felt.

 Everything existing in the universe has senses and every sense is bi-folded. One side of the sense is its inner dimension and the other one is the manifested. The inner side is the time and the outer side is the space. Whenever life is mentioned, both these two sides; Time and Space are referred. All the movements of the physical body, the parts and limbs, features, shape, structure and the form of body are all space and the base upon which all these things exist is Time. No action, movement and the form can exist without the base, which is hidden from the physical eyes. Technical name of time is nasma. Nasma is such a light that acts in two opposite ways, known as attraction and aversion. Human self is a combination of lights and these lights are moving under the influence of two forces of attraction and aversion. Attraction means that man is drawing towards his base. And the other movement is that man is absorbing lights to live. The movement, which draws towards that entity upon whose behest the universe has come into being, is the angelic property and the light that is taking away from the lights is the human characteristics. Both of these properties are functioning according to certain rules and laws. The more a person is engrossed in the external world, the more away he gets from the lights of attraction. The more one is closer to aversion the lesser becomes the angelic property in him because of the wastage of the lights of attraction. And, the result is that he gets so much away from the angelic realm that he is no longer mindful of the angelic property, which actually is the basis of man. Finally he is distracted from the right path and all his interests become focused in the space and he negates the angelic property altogether. God has said, “And we have put a seal on their hearts and ears and veils have drawn over their eye and they will suffer a grave penalty.”

 Grave penalty means that they have deprived themselves from the angelic characteristics.

 Explanation of the formula to live the life in the material world remaining in touch with the angelic world is that the lights responsible for maintaining the balance between the angelic and the human characteristics have their specific values. If the balancing values of these lights are decreased then the animal and material urges are increased many fold. It must be kept in mind that the angelic properties make a person to ascend in the Realm of Behest. Contrary to earthly characteristics it is the angelic property that pulls a person towards God Almighty and this pulling towards God is the ascent in the Realm of Behest.

 But, when the earthly urges are increased in a person and he is engrossed in space then the material and worldly urges replace the angelic characteristics to such an extent that he is trapped in the world of matter only.

 God had told Adam, “Reside in the Paradise along with your spouse and eat wherefrom you please but don’t go near that tree or you will be among the transgressors.” The moment the mind drifted away from the Most Sublime God, the balance of lights got upset and the earthly characteristics took over Adam and he felt the nudity and a burden of density. Because of concentration of density Adam considered himself no longer worthy of living in Paradise.

 God says:
“We created man in the best of proportions and then threw him in the lowest state of all.” That is, when the correlation of attraction lost its balance, Paradise rejected Adam.

It is elaborated for those who are keen to learn the formulae of ruling the universe that Adam can enter into the angelic world by getting rid of the aversion using the forces of attraction just as he closed down the angelic realm for himself by averting from the attraction.

Abraham managed to have his access to God by means of ponderous deliberations. It has been reported in the holy books that he saw a star when the night fell over him and seeing the brightness of the star he considered it be his Lord God. But, when the star sat down, he concluded that one that sets down and disappears couldn't be my Lord. And, when he saw the moon at its full bloom, which also sat down. Then he saw the sun, which was the brightest of all the things that he had seen so far. When the sun also disappeared and sat down he eventually concluded that anything that sets down couldn't be my Lord God and he turned towards Him who is the Creator of the earth and the heavens.

Besides providing guidance about the thinking approach of the prophets, it has also been highlighted in this story of Abraham that any variant and changeable thing cannot be worthy of worship.

Experiences of life are evident upon the fact that life is ever renewing at every moment and it does not stop.

God has stated, "Glory to Him who created everything in pairs of twos." For having a proper understanding of these pairs, we have to develop our understanding about the Conscious and the Unconscious senses. When we take the conscious things into consideration we have to face a non-lord at every step of our life and for spending our life, we associate ourselves with so many things other than our Lord God. Whereas, on the other hand, we are constrained to have an association with the One who is the Provider of the life, whether we want it or not. These very unconscious senses help in negating the non-lords and provide a basis for the maintenance of life and are the chief constituents of life.

Overall half of the life is spent under the Conscious and the rest of it is spent in the Unconscious. After one's birth, most of the time is lived in the Unconscious because up to the twelfth year of one's life one does not have the understanding or comprehension of things. If the period spent in sleeping in that age is also added to that, it comes to more than the time of awakening. In the rest of man's life one third of his life is also spent in Unconscious. The Unconscious part of life negates the non-lords and man has the power to use his right of negating the non-lords. If a person could spend his life in the unconscious more than that he spends in the conscious life, the control over the unconscious life is obtained.

" O' thou wrapped in clothes! Stand to prayer by night, but not all night, half of it – or a little less or a little more; and recite the Quran in slow measured rhythmic tone. Truly the rising by night is most potent for governing the soul and most suitable for framing the words of prayer and praise." (Quran: Surah Muzzammil)

In this verse we have been invited to enter the Unconscious, remaining in our conscious senses and to become attentive towards our Lord God, who is the Lord of the East and the West and no one is worthy of worship except Him.

In one phase of our life we become inactive when we are unconscious and make use of our limbs and body parts when we are awake. In this life we remain dominated by the spatio-temporal restraints, that is, we remain in the clutches of time and space at every step. In the state of Unconscious we are liberated from the ties of time and space whether it is in the form of sleep or otherwise.

The mid-night prayer is suggested for the very reason. It is that time when the confined conscious is liberated. This is the law that has been explained in the Surah Muzzammil.

One advances in the spiritual life when the non-lords are negated consciously just as the unconscious negation constructs the physical life.
