"He who knows his own self, knows Allah."
The mind of the writer, his hand and fingers are above the pen and his body lies below.
He alone is the wisest who rises stage by stage from the lowest level to the highest
spiritual stage.
"Indeed, We created the human with the fairest stature and We shall return him to (a
state) lower than the young." Koran, Chapter 95 verses 4 - 5. It is a pity that
some
people believe in the miraculous cures by a doctor.
A policy of total reliance on medical aid would be disastrous. When we are ill, the best
course left open to us is that we should surrender ourselves entirely, taking refuge with
Allah, as men in sore affliction, who have no other resources or supporters left. If one is
pious and learned, his prayer can easily reach the Malakute world of self which is the
highest of the high. This height is not to be reached with an astronomic ladder to the
stars or with the wings of an angel. Perception or intelligence can never lead to
this
conviction or reveal this glorious mystery, that is the province of the Divine Light alone.
