Just as a person needs an appropriate platform to open a webpage to read what is written in it, the evil qualities within our hearts need to be emptied so that our hearts can hear the voice from within and our souls(Nafs) can see what our hearts can hear. Be careful in Qur’an some verses finishes with the saying “Allah is He Who heareth and seeth all things.” e.g Nisa 4/58, 4/134, Isra 01. Hajj 61. First hearing comes then seeing. Without preparing a proper platform , it is difficult to clearly hear and see. In the womb, when a fetus develops, the ears develop before the eyes…

Body touches,
Soul(nafs) sees,
Heart hears,
Spirit(rooh) smells.

Qur’an Al-Anfal 21: Be not as those who say: We hear, and they hear not.

Look, one of the students of Dr.Munir Derman(K.S) is talking about the ziqrullah(Rememberance of ALLAH) resonating within his teacher and how he hears it one day when he was walking with him in the hospital:

“We were walking towards the exit on the floor of command head quarters in Gulhane Military Hospital.

My master was holding my hand.

I felt strangeness within my self all of a sudden.

All my body started vibrating in to my cells.

The sound of “ALLAH! Hu!” was coming from the polished marble stones on the ground and from the walls. They were all doing zikr in reverberation and bawling. This state was beyond bearing. When I was nearly going to bawl and was struggling to hold my self not to do it, he squeezed my hand :

“Calm dawn my child!”…

I pulled my self together immediately.

I realised that my master had taken this zikr within himself and had been Haqq with Haqq.

* He had put his hand on my knee.

Perhaps tonnes of weight had started to crush my knee.

My leg was aching..

Then he removed his hand

We got up. I got a little difficulty to walk.

After a long time, I explained this situation to him.

He smiled at me, and said to my ear by whispering:

“In this case I was in journey with my self”…

I use Firefox on a Linux distribution (OpenSUSE 11.2), and the links are not recognized on your blog. I tried using Konquer, which is the KDE browse for Linux, and I get the same problem.

So, I downloaded Opera and installed it… and I was able to open comments and other links at your blog.

Very strange! I am sure that this is not a problem when using Windows or MAC — something to do with either Linux or the default settings that come with this distribution.

Anyway, thank you for getting back to me. I will access your blog using Opera when I’m on my Linux system.

Blessings,
Michael

I visited your blog last night and again this morning, and am finding that the links do not work (at least for me). It looks like comments are closed and we are unable to “read more” below the jump… is it just my browser, dear friend, or is this an issue that the webmaster needs to look into?

Thanks in advance,
Michael

So good to see you here! For some reason your message got stuck in the spam filter, and I just now freed it into the light of our awareness. Thank you for discussing translation issues around Bawa’s English teachings, and for reminding us that the real GURU will come when the time is right. Reviewing of my belief system is an ongoing process (as you know!), something that takes place almost constantly throughout each and every day. I do pray that true knowledge and certainty avails themselves to me in this lifetime.

I will come visit your blog, dear friend….

Many blessings,
Michael

My own master makes mistakes while speaking as well whenever he gives long speeches, but these errors are cleaned before releasing his words to the public. Somehow I see many errors like this in BMF’s books. If Bawa said something like this , this should be understood in the following meaning:
Insan-i Kamil is a perfect human being who is coloured with the divine names and adjectives of Allah and He has the beautiful morality of ALLAH. This does not make him ALLAH though. Manifestation of the names of ALLAH in Insan-i Kamil does not mean that ALLAH is within Insan-i Kamil or Insan-i Kamil is ALLAH. Insan-i Kamil is the mirror of ALLAH. ALLAH can not be contained or restricted in time and place. His existence is the real existence while the existence of all His creation is a borrowed existence from Him and they are only shadow beings.

In English translation of the foreign documents, the term GOD is stuck wherever a divine name is seen. Bawa Muhaiyaddeen used to speak in Tamil not in English. During the translations , some of his words might not have been understood well by the translators or what he meant might not have been explained well in translation work. In Arabic , Al-Haqq(The Truth), Al-Ilah(The God), ALLAH, Ar-Rabb. These are all different names of Allah showing different meanings. Translators are saying GOD to all of these in some documents I read in the internet. We get coloured by the beatiful qualities of ALLAH but We can not become ALLAH. I had made a compilation about the knowledge of ALLAH and published it in our website recently. Here is the link:

Divine Names of ALLAH: http://www.muhammedinur.com/En/islam/asmaul-husna-beautiful-names-of-allah-jj.html

Bawa Muhaiyaddeen is still HAYY(alive). A real waliyullah is like the sword being taken out of it’s sheath after he passes away. They do not perish, they are free. It does not matter if you could not reach his lifetime. If you wish to learn, his Himmat will come to you when you study his work and help you to understand it inshaallah(by the will of Allah).

When you are ready , the real GURU is ready . They will find you or you will be directed to them without knowing. If this is not happening , this means the person should start reviewing his belief system, his sincerity and loyalty to ALLAH and consider the way he is going.

I hope to see you in my blog as well , come and visit sometimes inshaallah.
With Peace and Love
