Now, give him the knowledge to witness the divine splendour.
So then, the Soul of Ana, in order to learn the knowledge of seeing God -
What is the knowledge of seeing God?
The knowledge pertaining to seeing God is quite simple.
How Does the Spiritual Master Take One to See God?
The knowledge of seeing God is granted to the soul of Ana.
First and foremost, all the other souls have to be activated and enlightened,
the Nafs (lower self) must be purified,
And finally, the Soul of Ana must be engaged in the Zikr of 'Ya Hoo'
When this soul starts to articulate the mystical formula of 'Ya Hoo', the three veils/layers that it is trapped beneath are gradually lifted.
When those veils are lifted then the knowledge [of seeing God] commences.
The spiritual training [of the Ana] begins when the Spiritual Master consults with God
whether you should be taken further or kept at the rank of Momin.
If God then expresses his desire to grant you to see him,
the Spiritual Master is instructed to teach you the knowledge of seeing God
So then, the Soul of Ana, in order to learn the knowledge of seeing God -
What is the knowledge of seeing God?
The knowledge pertaining to seeing God is quite simple.
And what is it?
The knowledge of seeing God, in this day and age, is for the Spiritual Master to gradually reveal the veiled reflection of God within himself to your Ana.
This is to build spiritual endurance in the Ana.
Gradually, the Spiritual Master removes one of the veils and shows [the Ana].
Previously, the veil was ripped open due to the heat of the divine formula 'Ya Hoo',
however, then the spiritual guide shows the individual a glance of the God that sits within the Spiritual Guide, this leads the Ana to become even more restless.
It endures for 10-12 days and the Spiritual Master tells you to continue with the practice of Zikr.
After about 10-12 days, you continue with the Zikr and the Spiritual Master removes another layer, and the Ana trembles even more.
And gradually, a day comes when the Spiritual Master removes all of his veils
Now, when the Spiritual Master unveils himself
then the Ana develops the spiritual endurance to bear witness to the inner faculty of the Spiritual Master.
This is why it is said that one whose Ana has the spiritual endurance to bear witness to the inner faculty of the Spiritual Master will be successful in seeing God in the higher realms
and one who is blind here will be blind there.
This is the knowledge pertaining to seeing God.
The reflection of God within the Spiritual Master is presented to the Ana.
When you are shown a glimpse of the reflection of God
then you are instructed to keep a 40-day fast.
So then, you fast for 40 days straight.
After the 40-day fast, the Spiritual Master takes your soul to the higher realms.
He takes your soul to the Station of Mehmood.
The Spiritual Master takes your soul to the Station of Mehmood and leaves the rest upon you and God.
Your body will be sleeping here on earth and the Spiritual Master will take your Ana to the higher realms
then God unveils his beauty to the Ana
and that is when it recognises God because it had already seen God in the world.
Bulleh Shah, this love is crazy [In which] the countenance of the beloved is the Empyrean of God
Bulleh Shah, this love is crazy
[In which] the countenance of the beloved is the Empyrean of God
There is no
The Ana instantly recognises God because it had already seen him in the world.
And those who witnessed the divine splendour in the higher realms would say to their Spiritual Masters
'Seeing my Master is greater than a hundred thousand pilgrimages of Hajj'.
The aspirant actually witnesses the divine splendour during the spiritual training and seeing God in the higher realms is just a formality.
It's just like getting the sticker from the embassy when the visa has already been approved.
What is that sticker?
The Ana goes to the Station of Mehmood and sees God and when the reflection of God enters the Ana, that is the sticker.
Then that sticker (the reflection of God) will enter your heart
The image of my beloved is in my heart,
Whensoever I lower my head, I see him there.
The image of my beloved is in my heart,
Whensoever I lower my head, I see him there.
