Kashf is a very notorious thing.
It is an ability to see what your naked eye cannot see.
But physically speaking,
when we see things,
we see things with our eyes
and if we still don’t believe what we see
then we have some other senses
and we use those senses like we want to touch and feel it,
to make sure whatever my eye is seeing is true.
So, we have this assistance available physically;
when we see things and
it is not enough for our hearts to be content,
we want to use some other senses
and those senses are to touch and feel it.
But in spirituality,
those senses come with time.
It takes a lot of time
before one is able to
awaken and enhance all those hidden senses in him or her.
So, it’s always tricky
when you’re able to see things
and you do not know whether
what you’re seeing is true
or a trick of the eye.
Therefore, it is necessary for you to get it confirmed with your spiritual master.
Kashf literally means revelation.
Something is hidden, and if it is revealed, that’s Kashf.
Now, Kashf is of many types.
An ability to see what is hidden to normal eyes,
and this pertains to this universe.
This universe is called Aalam e Nasut;
this is home to Devil.
Therefore, Devil is able to easily interfere with everything.
So, this is called Kashf e Nasuti
The revelation of this cosmos, only
And most of the time, what people see
in this kind of Kashf is not true.
Then comes Malakut.
Malakut is an angelic realm
that belongs to angels and our [spiritual] heart is also from the same realm.
Now, this kind of revelation is obtained after the heart is completely awakened and purified.
Now, in this one, the chances of evil interference are very slim.
Even if there is a likelihood of interference from the Devil,
you always have some spiritual tools to examine
whether or not the revelation is true.
And then, there is another one:
Revelation of Jabrut (Jabruti Kashf).
Jabrut is the third realm and our soul is a citizen of that realm.
And this is where the main worship place is, Bait ul Mamour.
It’s a red building. Big one.
And when the souls are awakened and strengthened
and they're able to perform spiritual journeys,
the spiritual guide takes your soul to Bait ul Mamour in Aalam e Jabroot.
And the moment you offer Salat in Bait ul Mamour,
you shift from Shariat e Muhammadi to Shariat e Ahmedi.
If you avail even two rakat of salat in Bait ul Mamour,
it is enough for your salvation on the Day of Judgement
But obviously, when you’re able to offer salat there, you can do it every day.
Now, revelation of Jabrut will come when your soul
has acquired access to Aalam e Jabrut.
That’s Jabruti Kashf.
Now, let’s talk about Nasut Kashf.
Even those who do not practise spirituality,
which means their hearts are not enlightened,
they don’t know anything about spiritual heart
but they are very religious and they’re engaged in a lot of worship every day.
Even such people, who have nothing to do with spirituality,
through their worship, the Devil plays a trick on them
and they are shown different scenes in Kashf
in order to give them a wrong impression about spirituality,
about God, about the Prophet and about the spiritual guide, and about himself.
For example, one who literally isn’t even a momin
but through his worship, he is able to see many things,
not because he is worthy of seeing what he is seeing
but because it’s an evil trick.
So, through these scenes,
through this insight which is based on an evil trick,
the Satan will want to misguide you and tell you that you have become a saint of God
or you’re a very special person and you should now stop praying,
and you should not even consider paying alms, charity or any good act.
Devil will trick you and want to misguide you.
Now, those who have gotten an enlightened heart,
for example, yourself and others; from time to time,
you will see things involuntarily, without you making an effort or even thinking about it.
You’re just sitting quietly, your eyes are closed and you will see things.
But I want you not to pay any attention to what you see.
You should be focused on the progress of your heart
and other souls of the breast.
Because you are a traveller you cannot have a pit stop,
if you'd you would be wasting time plus there is a likelihood of you getting astray.
