What is Kashf?
From Imran Abbas: Assalama Alaikum
Imran Abbas asks, 'What is the knowledge of Kashf and how is it obtained?'
Kashf is not a type of knowledge.
Kashf is for something veiled to become unveiled.
In other words, something which is not visible to your eye;
something hidden
and then it becomes visible to your eyes or it becomes apparent -
when something becomes manifest to your eyes - it is known as Kashf in Arabic.
For example, if it is dark and you turn on the light then everything becomes illumined to your eyes.
Right?
Kashf is similar.
When a person is empty from within and doesn't possess divine energy then all those things which a human being cannot see with the naked eye
such as Muakkals (angel-like creatures) and Jinns, etc
and those veils are removed as soon as divine energy enters your being.
When divine energy enters your bloodstream then all the spiritual activities happening in your environment, you begin to notice it and you begin to recognise it
because now, your inner eye is opening up.
When divine energy enters your being, it takes time for it to reach your vision.
When the name of God beings to articulate in the beating system of your heart, it takes 101 repetitions for divine energy to generate.
When divine energy is produced the heart is cleansed first and foremost.
Thereafter, the divine energy gradually begins to enter the entire body via the bloodstream.
Now there is something interesting here - I thought I should tell you.
For divine energy to enter your bloodstream is not part of the Opening of the Spiritual Heart.
Those who obtained the Opening of the Spiritual Heart before the arrival of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi
they were not fortunate enough to have divine energy spread throughout their bloodstream.
This is why they took the invocations for the individual subtleties.
The Personal Name of God being granted by His Divine Eminence is incredibly powerful.
This Personal Name of God is related to God's crown.
The crown adorned on God's head says, 'Allah is Absolute Power.'
That crown is related to God's Personal Name, it has the power of God's Personal Name.
You understand?
Therefore, the Personal Name of God obtained via the intermediary of HDE Gohar Shahi
enables the divine energy to enter the bloodstream.
This is why His Divine Eminence said, 'If you simply obtain the invocation from me and do nothing else for the rest of your life
that alone will transform you into an Enlightened Conscience one day.'
All your subtleties will automatically become revived through that. Why?
Because the divine energy is entering your bloodstream.
I have also heard another statement of His Divine Eminence
'One in whose bloodstream divine energy enters need not depend on anyone's supplications.'
So what is Kashf?
For divine energy to enter one's body and for it to take over the Hawas-e-Khamsa completely.
Hawas-e-Khamsa are the five senses.
You have five senses, right? They are due to the five subtleties of the breast.
So the divine energy takes over them completely.
Thus the dominion of divine energy is established.
Furthermore, a Prophetic Tradition states, 'Beware of a Devout Believer for they see with the light of God.'
They can only see with the light of God when they have divine energy in their eyes.
The divine energy will only enter the eyes when it enters the bloodstream
otherwise, it cannot enter the eyes directly from the heart.
It must enter the bloodstream.
