Topic May 'Manifestation’ - 2 from: Hazrat Inayat Khan: 'Healing Papers' |
Out of these forms the vegetable kingdom came gradually from the mineral, and from the animal came the human race. This provided for the divine Spirit the Ajsam, the bodies which it has needed from the time it centered itself in one point, and from there spread its rays as various souls. Thus six definite steps towards manifestation are recognized by the Sufis. The first three are called Tanzi, and the next three Tashbi; the first three imperceptible, and the next three distinguishable. There is also the phenomenon of four elements, besides one which is the source and goal of all elements: Nur, the ether; this makes them five. Baad, the air, Atesh, the fire, Aab, the water, Khaak, the earth. These elements have worked in consonance with one another in order to bring about the results desired by the divine wisdom working behind them. In every Akasha or Asman they have been present either more or less; one without the other did not exist; the four together brought the fifth. In this way the whole manifestation has taken place through a gradual process of development. Manifestation accomplished half its task in the creation of a human being, in whom is born the wisdom of controlling and using all that is on the earth to its best advantage. And in humankind the purpose of manifestation is fully accomplished, especially in the human being who has on his return journey become more and more conscious of the purpose, by widening his outlook and by living a fuller life, the human being who has reached that stage of realization which is called divinity, in which is the fulfillment of the purpose of this whole manifestation. Truth is the light that illuminates all of life; in its light all things become clear and their true nature is revealed.
