  • Concentration of Powers and Revelation

    Molana Shah Maghsoud Sadegh Angha, in Al-Rasael – The Light of Salvation describes the concentration of powers and revelation as follows:

    "The heart of the salik (true seeker of truth) is the mirror of the revealed secrets of God. When revelation and spiritual inspiration alight the heart, the grey area of the brain simultaneously becomes vibrant from its power and the result of this wave of life is its vast relation with the heavenly spheres.

    The result of this immense unity is the sensitivity for the brain, body and heart in uniting in harmony all the senses in the discovery of truth. The descent of the heavenly waves into the heart shall cause the limbs to tremble and this is the divine Light that enlightens the sky of the heart.

    God almighty has commanded: "God is the Protector of those who have faith. From the depth of darkness, He will lead them into light." (Holy Qur’an, 2:257)

    الله ولي اللذين آمنوا يخرجهم من الظلمات إلى النور

    A tremble shall befall thee,
    As love descends thy cup,
    Brilliant as the sun shall be,
    Thy heart in the Light of God

    This Divine Light shall make your heart as luminous as Mt. Sinai and the abode of Ali’s illumination. The veil between the world and heaven shall be lifted and your freedom shall be confirmed and your limited self shall break its boundaries and unite with the infinite existence of God, and in that moment of union, the delicate is intertwined with the delicate, and the trusted Gabriel shall be the bearer of revelation from the breath of the Absolute Essence.

    Seek the abundance of God in shajar (trees) and hajar (rocks)
    All annihilated in the page of existence.

    Lost of self and joined in God.
    Bursting from drop unto the ocean

    Know that God’s blessings of revelation from infinity to eternity are without change and it is at His command that whatever is manifested has been in existence and whatever has been, always will be; hence, the splendor of knowledge is enlightenment.

    When your mirror is purified in the glory of His Presence and when your life is cast to the sea of Abundance as Noah’s Ark, whatever comes to you from eternity shall be the truth of the spirit of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh).

    From eternity to infinity God’s revelation,
    Waves forth from the sea of Ahad (Unity)

    If cleansed and selfless thou be,
    Revelations tine be from the heart of Ahmad (Mohammad)

    God Almighty has commanded: "It is not that God should speak to man except by inspiration, or behind a veil, or by sending a messenger to reveal, with His permission His will: for He is Most High, Most wise" (42:51)

    و ما كان لبشر أن يكلمه الله إلا وحيا أو من وراء حجاب أو يرسل رسولا فيوحي بإذنه ما يشاء إنه علي حكيم.

    These verses are written to indicate that the Glorious Qur’an has finalized the states of God’s revelation and the spiritual ascent of the believer shall be judged with the justice and guidance of God, the mediation of the teachings and inner guidance of Prophet Mohammad (pbuh), and whatever is contrary to it shall be judged as false and wherever is confirmed, as acceptable; because the Holy Qur’an is the measure of Truth and the ultimate goal of the salik’s journey.
