| (1)A man slave of deductive reason is always afraid to challenge the existent belief system, so he never enters the hallway of knowledge.

That pillar wept bitterly when a proper podium had been erected for Hazrat Muhammad (saw) to address people. Learn more about Hannana ...Click For Detail...... (3) All sects are due to various levels of human cognition which differ; therefore any humanbeing can agree/disagree with the perception of Fiqh. These are just various paradigms to understand truth and not the whole truth. (4)Rumi has Quoted Qur'an - Surah Fatir - 35:28 "Only men of gnosis truly fear Allah". In the 1st Ayah of the same Surah Allah has explained that "he gives wings to his message bearers" i.e. the process of creation is continuous, constantly expanding in scope, range and variety. Similarly in the 22nd Ayah of Surah Allah has declared "Nor are alike those that are living and those that are dead. Allah can make any that He wills to hear; but thou canst not make those to hear who are (buried) in graves." It may mean dead but also considered dead non-life objects. |

| Philosopher talks of reason of a lower degree
His intellect is serving at door-step silently (1) The water, or clay or mud may speak Only men of heart can them perceive. Presumption and speculation turn philosopher into unbeliever Choose he may to keep banging his head against walls forever The philosopher who may not agree that �Hannana� would weep (2) They know nothing of power of perception a Prophet doth keep Philosopher says craziness of human mind but it is Which keep on inventing silly ideas such as these! Of their conflict and unbelief it is but sad reflection In poor judgment which has engulfed their reason The existence of Satan the philosopher has ever denied Captured by the devil at very moment he is, though hide Thou haven�t seen Satan behold thee in mirror true Without craziness the forehead isn't rendered blue Full of woe, doubts and conflicts is whose heart Of a hidden philosopher in this world is his craft Though he doth hint at faith and belief occasionally His love for Logic destroys his intellect permanently O believer! Run away lest it may find home in you All of you store whole world of wrong ideas in you All 72 sects may be in you living though dormant (3) Alas! Anyone may germinate finding nourishment A person who is well adorned with cavalry of faith Is but trembling like leaf for the fear of this trait (4) Thou may laugh at advent of Iblis or Satan Always thee hath thyself so pious reckon On the �Day� when secret states shall be revealing The pious among all shall be high in screaming At each shop the goldsmith is smiling at ease Because the touchstone for gold no more exists O the veiled one! Do not lift the veils�rest! Protect us and guide us in the moment of test All gold is equal pure or impure at night The pure gold but waits for the day light The pure gold at present is saying: Pause! O deceiver till all secret the dawn unveils The cursed Iblees had been for million of years Among Abdal the leader of the pious and angels Adam but for his hauteur he had challenged Insulted, degraded he was thrown like dung Lustful soul dare not challenge men of God in �being� Why do you attempt to ride a horse ahead of the king? |
