Sufi secrets (veils and mankind) 2
Veils and mankind
mankind into four classes:
1.those veiled with veils of pure darkness; 2.those veiled with veils of mixed darkness and light; 3.those veiled with veils of pure light; 4. those who attain to the vision of the Unveiled.
Class II.--Those veiled with Veils of mixed Darkness and Light
Darkness has its origin in the 1.Senses 2.Imagination 3.false syllogisms of the Intelligence.
4….(people with false perceptions)---since we have control over fire, kindling or quenching it at will, it cannot serve as divinity. Only that which possessing the attribute of Dominion and Glory and has us under its absolute sway, and is withal very higher and lifted up-only this avails for divinity. Astrology is the science that is celebrated among this folk, the attribution to each star of its special influence: so that some worship Cynosura and others Jupiter, and others some other heavenly body, according to the many influences with which they believe the several stars are endued.
Answer--These, then, are veiled by Light, the Light of the Sublime, the Luminous, the Potent; which are also three of the Lights of Allâh
5…..(people with false intelligence)--They say that it does not befit their Lord to be describable as small or great among light-giving substances, but He must be the greatest of them; and so they worship the Sun, which, they say, is the Greatest of All.
Answer---Such are veiled by the Light of Greatness, in addition to the former lights; but are still blent with the darkness of the Senses.
6….(people with extreme false intelligence)--The sun has no monopoly of light; bodies other than the sun have each one its light. So, as the deity must have no partner in lightfulness, they worship Absolute Light, which embraces all lights, and think that It is the Lord of the Universe, and that all good things are attributable to it.
Answer---Then, since they perceive the existence of evils in the world, and will by no means allow them to be attributed to their deity, He being wholly void of evil, they conceive of a struggle between Him and the Darkness, and these two are called by them( Dualists).
They failed to perceive that the very first degree of the intelligibilia takes us clean beyond all reference whatsoever to direction and dimension
some said attributes of god transcends all directions, including direction upwards; but whose conception of these attributes is relative to their own; so that some of them may even have declared outright that His "speech" is with sounds and letters like ours;
while others advanced a step higher, it may be, and said, "Nay, but it is like our thought-speech, both soundless and letterless."
Thus, when they were challenged to show that "hearing, sight, life", etc., are real in Allâh they fell back on what was essentially anthropomorphism(tashbih), though they repudiated it formally; for they utterly failed to apprehend what the attribution of these ideas to Allah really signifies.
Thus they, say, in regard to His will, that it is contingent, like ours; that it is a demanding and a purposing, like ours.
Answer---These, then, are veiled by several of the divine Lights, mixed with the darkness of false syllogisms of the intelligence.
When I want to talk to allah I say prayers and when I want that he talk to me I recite quran- Hazrath AliRadi Allahu anhu
