Question:
During meditative practice, I perceived my mind to be filled with effulgent
radiance, suddenly a subtle jolt was experienced in the cerebral region,
following which a stream of light emerged and dissipated into the surrounding
atmosphere. Subsequently, I perceived an eye composed of light situated upon my
forehead. An inner voice or impression identified it as the "third
eye." While reclining to sleep, I witnessed my vision transcending the
physical barrier of the wall—I distinctly saw a table positioned in the drawing
room. However, the scene vanished in the next instant. I seek your guidance
regarding the nature of these phenomena. Are such states purely imaginative, or
do they possess ontological validity?
Answer:
Allah
the Almighty states in the Qur'an: “Indeed, We have adorned the firmament
with constellations and have safeguarded it from every accursed devil.”
Spiritual science provides a framework through which the devotee may acquire
acquaintance with the beings created by Allah the Almighty—observing their
modes of habitation and economic structure—and thereby contemplate the Divine
artistry and wisdom operative throughout creation.
When an individual enters the domain of subconscious states and metaphysical experiences, numerous unveilings occur, among which is the direct witnessing of celestial habitations. As the aspirant grows in self-awareness and his latent faculties develop further, these perceptions become increasingly refined, allowing for a more precise and profound comprehension of spiritual realities.
Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi
Nearly three decades ago, the esteemed spiritual scholar and blessed guide, Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi (R.A), inaugurated a mission of public service with the objective of liberating humanity from afflictions, psychological distress, and physical ailments. For ten years, he remained in contemplative retreat, silently advancing this sacred commitment to the service of creation (khidmat-e-khalq). As the hearts of the people began turning toward him, he employed the medium of mass communication. In 1969, this initiative was formally introduced to the public through newspapers and spiritual journals. According to conservative estimates, through written correspondence and face-to-face interaction—particularly via national publications and the Roohani Digest—Hazrat Azeemi has extended spiritual guidance and healing to over 1.4 million men and women, addressing intricate personal crises and intractable medical conditions. Today, it is not uncommon that wherever a few individuals gather, and a seemingly insoluble dilemma or incurable illness is mentioned, someone inevitably suggests: “Establish contact with Azeemi Sahib—the matter will be resolved.”
Through the grace of Allah the Almighty, the spiritual affinity with the Prophet (P.B.U.H), and the continued beneficence of the blessed guide, four volumes of Roohani Daak (Spiritual Correspondence) have now been compiled. The first volume is hereby presented to you for contemplation and benefit.
