Some of his priceless teachings are:
The seeker should concern himself (or herself) with deeds (A'amaal) and Dhikr of Allah Ta'ala. The seeker should not worry about concentration (Jami'at in Urdu) and presence (Huzoor in Urdu), because of concentration and presence is the grant of Allah Ta'ala and rare. It is beyond the power of the slave. On the other hand, deeds and Dhikr can be done by everybody and regularity in performing good deeds and Dhikr of Allah Ta'ala is the cause of Jami'at and Huzur. One day or the other, deeds and Dhikr will lead to Jami'at and Huzur.
When you see these 3 things in someone, consider that person to be from among the Auliya (saints of Allah Ta'ala);
1. On seeing their face, out of love, the heart leans towards them.
2. When they talk, their talk is such that the heart desires to leave everything and listen to them for hours together.
3. They do not do anything wrong or without any reason.
The essence and summary of the Holy Quran, Hadith and Fiqh is Tasawwuf and the essence of Tasawwuf is the concept of Wahdat-Ul-Wujud and this is not gained by mere talk, but by clearing the mirror of heart of everything else and by becoming like the verse of the Holy Quran: ........broken away from everyone else. (Surah Muzammil 73:8), by breaking away from everyone and becoming only the Lord's, then the condition of the heart improves and it shines in a such a manner that Wahdat-Ul-Wujud appears in that.
The one who cooks food should not be heedless of Allah Ta'ala while cooking, should be angry at anyone, should not be saying anything indecent at that time and should not be making useless talk. Food should be cooked with complete sincerity and with perfect Taharah, then that food becomes Noor and lightens up the heart and the food which is not prepared like this created darkness in the heart. |
