There is a definite engrossment and devotion in all the praises
of Allah, efforts and actions and there is more ecstasy than before.
2-
There is the feeling of presence in prayers, that is , me. After
sometime he feels that he is seeing Allah, that is, he achieves
first the ordinary place of perfect faith and, then, higher status.

Absorption and its effects are much more than before but simultaneously
control over them also gets firmer but they are not let out.
4-
Intrinsic luster begins to be seen. It is light which is different
from the light of Lataif(luster).
5-We
start strolling in Alam-e-Mesal, that is, spiritual rays of NASOOT-MALAKOOT
etc., as they become thinner and thinner in their layers, their
sight is visible. This is a little to some seeker, more to some
and to many nothing at all. Among them many are so absorbed in the
remembrance of Allah and in his love that they do not have time
and capacity at all to see anything and some have their eyes covered
by Allah, otherwise they would get so much stuck up in these interesting
and lovely sight and would not be able to complete the spiritual
journey. Soon seekers are very disheartened and think that they
are not improving in their spiritual journey. But they do not know
that it is a blessing of Allah that they see nothing. When such
seakers feel disheartened they should see whether there is improvement
in the relationship with Allah and the heart is full of warmth of
love or not and morals are being mended or not.

There develops power of superior type of absorption and miracles
but its occurrence is very rare or it takes place in secrecy, that
is, worldly people do not know that such and such work has been
done due o the courage and supplication of that pious man. And this
is a great virtue. (for detail read book)

The state of eternal extinction and liveliness starts occurring.
This happens like this. After going in for a longer period in the
exercise of Nafi Maa Siva Allah he develops such an engrossment
at times during day and night that there remains in him hardly any
idea of his surroundings and he has only the idea of Allah in his
mind. This engrossment gradually develops so much so that he forgets
his surroundings rather is oblivious of his self. But he understands
this much that whatever he feels is Allah and Allah alone. That
is, though he does not feel for his body; he has the sense of his
self. Having reached this stage, there can develop several other
situations: one is this that one is inclined more towards its surrounding
and things around it and he has less and less feelings about his
being. In such a situation he sees sometimes that all the things
are busy in remembering Allah and thinks that they are kneeling
before him. The second feeling is that after losing the perception
of surrounding and things around him, there remains the thought
of the presence of Allah alone.

It is necessary to describe the state of Wahdatul Wajood(doctrine
of Unity of Allah) because in this book I have touched upon the
subject here and there and have mentioned it as the greatest factor
of the downfall of Muslims.
Listen,
Allah says in the Holy Quran: To Him mount up(all) word of purity
: It is He Who exalts each Deed of Righteousness, that is, it is
a law that pure word soar above and right action raises high those
who do it. Science has discovered that once the sound is created
it is never destroyed. The Holy Quran told us this secret fourteen
hundred years ago. Science has not discovered how actions continue
to exist. It will be done in due course of time. But it has been
told in the Holy Quran long before....
