Discussion about Leaving the World
A discussion about leaving the world started. The wealth of the kissing of the feet of the Sheikh was available to me. And at the time Moulana Minhajuddin, Moulana Qiyamuddin, Moulana Baderuddin and other devotees were present at the meeting place. He said with his holy tongue “Oh, Darwesh, there is no comfort in the house of the persons of the world. But there is comfort in the house of Darwesh persons because the anger of Allah is there on the people of the world.”
Khaja Saheb said he had heard from the holy tongue of Khaja Nizamuddin Auliya that the prophet of Allah said, “Hub duniya ras kul qatiya wa tark duniya rak kul ebada.” It means the friendship of the world is the root cause of all sins.
Afterwards, he said he had seen in the book Zad Husnain that all bad deeds had been gathered in one house and its key was made with the love of the world, and all good deeds had gathered in one house and its key was made with giving up of the world.
He said Khaja Abdus Salam Tastari wrote in his magazine that there is no such big veil of the world in between man and Allah. So for this reason, if one loves the world more, then he will be further away from Allah.
To be Kept Away from the Company of the King
Khaja Saheb said that one hakim (philosopher) passed some days in starvation. He did not eat and drink. When he reached near the river, he began eating the leaves of the grape tree. At that time the people paid him much respect, getting down from their horses, and told him, “If you work with our king then there will be no need of eating leaves.” The wise person told them, “If you be content with leaves, then there would be no need of the company of kings and the desires of the world.”
He said that on the way of mysticism such persons will be called Darwesh, in whose hearts no thought would come except the remembrance of Allah. And he should not engage in any other thing and he should not keep relations with the people of the world.
The author explained to the Sheikh that this slave had written some beneficial things in this book for himself. Otherwise, what was his position that he should write a book? Then he said, “What thing is that which will be better than this? And that whatever he had heard from his Sheikh’s tongue, he should record all its details not only for his benefit, but also for the benefit of other persons. Because in this matter, I heard from the holy tongue of my spiritual master that the prophet of Allah said, ‘Akhir al-Akhir al-Akhir al-Mutadi.’ It means the best good deed is that with which one should be benefited, and also there will be benefit to other persons.”
End.
