Tariq
ut-Tahqiq (The Path of Realization)
(19) The Key To The Doors of
Secrets & The Lantern For The Soul Of The Righteous
Discussion
Join
The Creator of the creation,
The Nonpareil Deity
The potent doer the
manufacturer of “Be & it is” [1]
Whatsoever IT delivered from
nonbeing to beingness
For all the existence you are
the true and only intent
First know the goodness within
your Self
Read aloud your Creation’s
written tablet
Look deep within to see who
created you?
For what purpose and action
selected you?
Just a pile of vile dust but
yet upon you ITs tribute!
From that lowliness to both
worlds ‘you’ IT debuted! [2]
End.
Hark O Dervish! Look upon the
mirror where the train is the reflection of your Nafs (Psyche)
and the
emaciated Sudanese mother the reflection of your Soul. See that mighty
train of your Nafs (Psyche)
nothing but a monster in bondage of the rails—the reflection of your
lusts—and your broken heart the lifeless child strapped upon her back.
Be like unto her who hungrily searches the dusts for few forgotten
grains thus sieve deep within the sands of amnesia for your true Self.
Unearth the glittering pearls of that Beloved in dusky depth of your
beingness, the jewels adorning the veil of Creation.
[1] In the
Farsi poem this exact Koranic/Arabic phrase, underlined in what
follows, was placed and rhymes with the previous Farsi verse, “To IT is due the primal origin of the
heavens and the earth: When IT decrees a matter, IT says to it: "Be," and it is.”
(Koran [2:117]). All what we see around us is the Divine Verbiage
(Kalimah) written in matter-energy, time-space and life-death.
[2] The
creation of the first man was indeed a secret that no one in the
universe was allowed to know about. Adam was indeed debuted to the
angels as their new master and appointed as the Divine Deputy
(Khalifah). So the words in the poem e.g. selected or debuted have
strong indications of this fact.
