nature for good deeds and his desire to eschew evil takes a firm
footing.

Sometimes the heart-beating increases which gives feelings of happiness
and intoxication and at every heart-beating starts automatically
"Pass Anfas" i.e (Allah-Allah). This is called the continuous
remembrance of Allah. Many seekers do not have it.

There develops in the hearts a degree of warmth and excitement together
with excitement and cheerfulness which lead to intoxication and
ecstasy. This is the thing which Sufi poet call wine and later on
those poets who are bereft of mysticism have sung its song so much
that the common fold have taken it to e the common wine which is
prohibited in Islam. This state of mind is also called absorption.
For the seekers it is the greatest gift and blessing of Allah. This
is the assignment and trust from Holy Prophet and is given so that
the seeker forgets all the unnecessary things of the world and proceeds
on and on to the spiritual journey by tolerating all the troubles
and tribulations without any murmur. This state of mind is also
found among non-Muslims saints such as Sadhus and Christian monks.
But only the real saints and those having discerning eyes only know
what is the difference between warmth of heart-beating of non-Muslims
and Muslims.(for detail read book)

light appears to some seeker like the fire-fly, to some like a lamp
and to some so much that the entire earth and universe get immersed
into it.And some see nothing at all.

Man is endowed with the power of attraction and miracles. During
this period very ordinary type of miracles take place but the beginners
consider it very significant and take themselves to be saints of
very high order. this is very significant blessing but if it is
not protected by the benign hands of Allah, it may prove very harmful.
Many seekers develop pride because of this. Nowadays it is considered
to be a great achievement and sign of sainthood and the wish to
go ahead and proceed further do not come to the head of the seeker.
During this period divine inspiration enables one to know something
of the past or futur. Therefore, it is useless to be proud of this
blessing of Allah and to boast about it. This is not the aim and
object of Wisdom rather it is an impediment in its way.(for
