Topics 155–157: Hazrat's Thoughts About Pirzadah Najm al-Din; A Single Point Gathers Everything

"Hazrat's Thoughts on Pirzadah Najm al-Din Sahib" — Hazrat said: 'I am not listening to you, but one Sahib spoke — this is the Supreme Manifestation' — (i.e., one of Hazrat's family said about Pirzadah Najm al-Din Sahib's thoughts about Hazrat). 'In him there is a center — (he said) — no one accepts — my belief is — of his older brethren (i.e. Rahim Pasha Hazrat) — (later when Hazrat was invited to come to Mulk Paanch, he said) — "Without doubt, a wonderful spiritual state is his" — he said: "I bear witness without doubt" — he said "You will not bear witness, it will not be" — he said: "I bear witness them" — (Nusratullah Sahib's indicating direction) — "certainly, I understand his meaning — accountability and responsibility" — to me it became clear — "do not fight them" — (that Habib Bhai's Sahib said) — Pirzadah Sahib said to Hazrat that they are Qadiri fathers — our fathers too.'

"A Single Point Gathers Everything" — Hazrat said (11 January 1960, Tuesday / 11 Rajab 1379 AH): 'The principle is that a single point of thought is established — from that the manifestation of Allah comes — it becomes idolatry? — (Hazrat asked — he said) — "then what?" — (Hazrat) said that Hazrat Ghawth Pak — a pure one — look at a single point of a Farsi poem — he concentrated on it — (by doing this) — everything gathered on the point — he became Muslim! — (a kafir became Muslim by this) — (some kafir — even someone who has completely come) — any thought of Allah — we must necessarily compel him (any such person) — our duty is that if they are sincerely seeking, Allah will help them — one single point is also believer — the same is the murid — (the teacher said — a very) — powerful is the shaykh — he grabs strongly — the shaykh pulls him — the original is that two forces struggle — the strong force subdues the weak force and colors it in its own color — (i.e. the Shaykh).'

Topic 158: The Will of the Ghawth is Destiny

'The Ghawth's will at the appointed time is destiny' — this was written very well — (Samdani Pasha, i.e., Hazrat's nephew and khalifa Muhammad Nur al-Din Siddiqui, had written about Hazrat, those who had affection for Hazrat):

میری گویائی کی اک ادنی سی تأخیر ہے جو نکل جائے زباں سے بس وہی تقدیر ہے

(My speech's delay is a small one — what leaves from the tongue — that is destiny.)

A Sahib said (Hazrat Qibla himself) — 'This world lives in so much — my will is coming — from this so as to will — they did — the ones who will say — "you are speaking my will — I have will — their will is one" — (meaning) "Purpose is my own — what my beloved says" —

مقصد میرا وہی ہے جو مطلب ہے یار کا میں اپنے اختیار میں بے اختیار ہوں بے بود ہے نمود، عدم ہے مرا وجود میں چشم اعتبار میں محض اعتبار ہوں

(My purpose is what my friend means — within my own choice I am without choice. Non-existence is existence, non-being is my being — in the eye of consideration I am mere consideration.)

Topic 159: A Qadroli's Story

Topic 159 — 'A Qadroli' (an ascetic of the Ghawth Pak's order who lived in Hyderabad): 'Qadroli Sahib' — 'One Sahib is there' — 'his disciples — Taj Baba — the keepers — neither majdhub nor others — Musbah al-Din Sahib — (Chief Executioner of Hazrat's khalifa) — his wife went there — Musbah's company — Qadroli — they went there — they may have changed — he said: such a strange experience! — I will begin to be born in the world of witnessing ...' — from them Sahib said: 'How did you come to me?' he said: 'Through the murshid's medium you are, the friends of Allah speak of me' — thus he replied: 'He says: I am a poet of shear (poetry)!' — Abu al-Nasr Sahib spoke — 'Listen!' — they were — they listened —

خیال دلربا ہے میں نہیں ہوں وہی جلوہ نما ہے میں نہیں ہوں

(The beloved thought is there, not I — the same manifestation is there, not I.)

They were a little cross — Hazrat would say: 'Chalo, I am grateful, I accept it' — La, la — (he said) — (the Sahib was used to repeating the words two times) — 'in them is — you know the qadroli?' — It is because of his spiritual presence that Abu al-Nasr's glory is visible — despite them, Hazrat's state was —
