Salam my reader and friend,

I am back from Delhi and was with the Chisti’s in Nizamudin.
The first two days were spent at Hazrat Nizamudin Auliya’s Chilla.
It was shady and cool there , bright with no sun, surrounded by the sound of birds and tombs of Hazrat Nizamuddin’s followers. The meditation room in the front was locked so we could only peek in.In front of this room was a small alcove that people used for Muslim prayers .

The back of this meditation rooms was in ruins , it used to house Hazrat Nizamudin’s sleeping quarters as well as the stores perhaps that housed the food donations that were received daily. It was Hazrat Nizamudin’s own rules that no food or donation should be kept overnight, all should be distributed the same day that it came. Hazrat Nizamudin left instructions not to repair the place which is probably why it has become ruins over the more than 500 years that have passed.

I had made some notes whenever I could of the 2 day meeting with Pir Zia. It was not under the most conducive of conditions in terms of comfort but in terms of spirituality and in terms of walking in the footsteps of Hazrat Nizamudin Mahboob Illah it was perfect.

We sat on the carpet on the ground in front of the meditation room of Hazrat Nizamudin Auliya. Here are some points I noted down and perhaps we can discuss it and expand it.

Pir Zia began talking about the Breath and also how the Chistiyya also read from the Hindu scriptures and appreciated their divine origin and used the holy scriptures of various traditions to interpret each other .This does not mean they did not read the Quran, this they indeed did and used the Quran to understand the Bhagavadgita and the Upanishads.

The Chisti sufis have always had a dialogue with the Yogis and developed their own systems of breath exercises resulting from this dialogue and inspiration.

There is only ONE message, and there is One guidance which has a role in every single place of Human evolution.It is said in the Quran there are 124,000 prophets and prophetesses send to mankind, some made known and some unknown and all of them brought just One message that was suited to the perspective of the nation and time it was sent.It is that people over time made it seem that each message was exclusive and it lost its universal nature and became restrictive.

These are some points from Pir Zia’s talk we may want to dwell upon:

“There is an unfolding pf the horizon of meaning in the world
The Divine Wish evolves and develops in our own process of unfolding
The Amanah for us :A responsibility to participate consciously and sincerely to open to the future which we cannot know yet.
Our body is the flow of humanity through time
Our bodies are the single cells of one planetary being . The soul has a longer memory before the creation of the body and before the creation of the earth.”

I will elaborate and expand on this in time insya Allah.

( Hamba beruntung sebab telah jumpa dan beli buku Sh. Nizamuddin Awliya-Moral of The Hearts di KLCC serta membacanya sebelum melawat New Dehli pada Feb.2007. Ini menambahkan kagum dan kasih kepada usaha dakwah beliau yang disanjung oleh ulama dahulu dan beribu-ribu kaum hindu masuk islam pada zamannya)

Brotherhood.

To make brotherhood only you have to be right. Sidi ‘Ali al-Jamal of Fes said, “A man of knowledge can make a whole city, but a whole city cannot make one man of knowledge.”
