Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad and Ramadan Mubarak! This post for the auspicious thirtieth night of Holy Ramadan has five parts:
Part 1: Teaching of Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II (a.s.)
In Pir Pandiyat-i Jawanmardi, Imam NOOR Mowlana Shah Mustansir bi'l-laah II (a.s.) teaches us us teaches us about light and eternal existence:
"Whoever treats himself as something (important) in this world, being sure of his own (important) existence, will become non-existent (non-entity); will be deprived of a share of existence. Man (by himself) is neither extant nor non-existent, neither light or darkness. If the Imam, who possesses association (with God, walayat), helps him, he becomes endowed with being and light. But if he does not recognize (the Imam) from a (false) sense of security and does not swear allegiance to the Imam of the time, he will become non-existent and dark." (p.62) |
Part 2: Teaching of Pir Sadardin
In the following verse from the Ginan, Tamku(n) sadhaare so din bahotaj huva re piya, Pir Sadardin supplicates for Divine vision and grace:
Eji | Charan bhetaado aasha najar milaavo piya Haida maa(n)he maheraj aano re Maherbaan mere, Saheb mere, daya-vant mere, Aasa tuj bina so din jaave(n)ge kaysa piya ji |
|
O Lord! | Create the conditions for me to bow at your feet Oh Lord, and for my eyes to meet Your sweet eyes, O Beloved. In my heart bestow only Your mercy. Oh my Most Merciful, Oh my Master, Oh my Compassionate one. Oh Lord, how can my days pass without Your presence? |
