Senses and Figures - In the Light Of 1001 Hadiths - 219

“Get your fair shake mildly whether he is a man of his word or not.”
Almighty Rumi says: “Four rivers of the paradise are under our provision; it is not by our power, but only by the command of God. Just as magics which obey the decisions of magicians, those rivers are under our control. We make them run to wherever we like. Like two fountains of eye, which is subject to the rescript of soul, under the decision of this heart, flowing continously. If the heart wishes, it will watch and goes to the side where snakes and poisons exist. If the heart wishes, it will draw a lesson from what it has watched. If it wishes, it will look at visible (seen) things. If it wishes, it will look at some veiled (hidden) things. If the heart wishes, it will drive the eyes to the universal; and if it wishes, it will lock the eyes in partial. Just as meerschaum in fountains are subject to fountain, our sense organs are subject to the heart. It works according to the wish and order of the heart. Our sense organs will go after it wherever the heart points out. Just as the stick in the hands of Moses is subject to Moses, hands and feet are subject to the command of heart, clearly. If the heart wishes, feet start to dance or gather speed while walking slowly. If it wishes, hand counts on fingers or writes a book. Hand is under provision of a secret hand. From inside, it charges the skin as a representative and makes him stand at attention. If the heart wishes, hand will be a dragon (a big nuisance) to the enemy. If the heart wishes, hand will assist to the lover. If the heart wishes, hand is an instrument to eat, or a mace for eight kilos. What does heart say them? What an amazing union, what a secret reason is it? For which reason, the heart shows the way of sense organs, did it expropriate Solomon’s seal? Five external senses are doomed to heart already, while five esoteric inner senses are its clerk. Ten senses, apart from these, seven figures more. And there are many powers which is very difficult to utter… Now that the heart is a Solomon in exaltedness, rule the sprites and devils with the ring of sultanate in your finger. Unless you try to play a trick, those three devils cannot get your ring from you.”
God did not veil anything. Their ego itself is a veil. The wayfarer on the path should be in submission like a dead in presence of God, should never show a sign of liveliness. When you are alive, you are a veil of yourself. On the contrary, God clearly showed His countenance.

All those beauties rising from Prophet Muhammed, Moses and Dear Rumi were of God inside them. Their faces and bodies were just a veil. It was Dear Muhammed who could reach most of the beauties and the realities of God. Although He was the most suffered one among the prophets, however, He never complained about it. He was always patient, never wanted God to punish them. Prophet
Muhammed always invoked: “Grant them to be on the right path. Let them know who I am. I did not come to destroy people.” I, Fakr, have been telling for years that only love will enable you to reach your aim. The important thing is humanity, the heart of human; not the details. If our society had known Dear Muhammed duly, nobody could have flicked anybody, have hurt others and have despised another one. The man would be just like Him, in full. Unfortunately, people does not know him duly.
