Divine Imam
In high and thick fir forest, there
is an oblong low dell grown with young birches.
There reside bright, consisting of Divine Goldish
Fire, Mahadoubles of Eaglestform and Babaji. And
also He Whom we called before simply the Divine
Sufi; on this place He gifted us and our students
the first states of Samadhi. Near Him stands His
Divine Disciple Karas.
This time we came to the Divine Sufi
with the purpose of making a closer acquaintance. We
ask Him to relate about Himself.
He does not reply immediately, but
proposes to attune to Him once more and again gives
us a most intense feeling of Divine Bliss… Only then
He replies:
“Allah is one! There is no God but
Allah! All We — in Him — are One!
“This is clear enough for you. But
many other people have to be waited long: they have
not gained this understanding yet.”
“How should we call You?”
“The only name is the name of
Allah!”
“Tell us please how You developed to
the state of Allah.”
“I do not remember it, do not know
it, and do not want to know it! I came to know the
Oneness with Allah — and dropped the rest from My
memory. It was not of value for me any longer.”
“Tell us, at least, where did You
incarnate last time?"
“In Persia, in the land of modern
Iran, at the time of the last padishah. I served in
a mosque as an imam. At that time, around that
mosque an oasis bloomed: the people came there to
touch Me…
“But I did not develop Myself at
that time: I had another status already — the status
of Allah. And I represented the Creator for people.”
“What recommendations would you give
us?”
“Everything will go on according to
the Will of Allah; there is no need to peep too far
in the future. Proceed with you current affairs.
Insh’Allah! — Let it be as Allah wills!”
“What would You say about our
present level?”
“You have gained the ‘platform’. Now
you have to master being Allah.”
“But to what extent it is possible
for a person in the embodied state?”
“It is not only possible, but is
necessary for all of you.”
“How?”
“You know how. There is no need to
invent something else. You will succeed! You just
need to substitute your will with the Will of
Allah!”
“What would you say to beginners?”
“I would like to tell them about
Sufism.
“Many understand Sufism as one of
the numerous religious doctrines with its own set of
rules, dogmas, directions. Yet, Sufism is not a
‘dead’ set of rules. Sufism is life, a way of life
based on love. Therefore, any man regardless of his
confession — be he a Christian or a Buddhist — can
be called Sufi if his heart, full of love, longs for
Me and he wants to embrace with his love the whole
world.
“To be a Sufi means to live by the
Beauty — the Beauty of God! Wherever the
heart of a Sufi turns — there it should see the
Beauty of the Beloved invisible to the ordinary
eye. The whole world is pervaded with His Beauty,
which is perceivable only to the eyes of a loving
heart!
“Now, who can become a Sufi? Is it
possible only for people living in the East? And who
is a Sufi, anyway? Is it he who just proclaimed
himself so? Or the one who was attached to a certain
tradition and wears special clothes?
“One can become a Sufi independent
of in what corner of the Earth he or she was born or
lives now. A true Sufi is he who does not take the
eyes of his loving heart off the Beauty of the
Beloved; he who lives by this Beauty!”
“Tell us please about Yourself.”
“My Path is the path of dissolution
of ‘oneself’ in Allah! I am the Great Silence of
Allah filled with sounding of strings of the
Souls Who merged into Allah.”
“Why are You on this place — which
is visited almost by no one of the embodied people?”
“You visit it… Besides… it is so
blissful — to permeate the Earth with the Light of
Allah!
“Blend with Me completely! And let
the Flow of Allah stream through your body!
“… Samadhi is the state when Allah
enters your spiritual heart inside your body.
Nirvana is when you can submerge into the Heart of
the Absolute and dissolve in It. And then only Allah
remains. Discover the connectedness of these states.
And rise from the Depths to the body filling
it with the Light of Allah! Let it be only the Light
of Allah everywhere, even inside your body!
“Was You capable of dematerializing
and materializing the body?”
“What is the need of it? In the last
incarnation, I did not perceive Myself a body at
all! I had entered into the body with the purpose of
bringing to people the knowledge about the One. His
Omnipotence manifested through My body whenever it
was necessary.
“But I never worked miracles for
attracting attention. I worked in a different way. I
filled the hearts with the Light of Allah giving to
people a possibility to experience His Love. I
taught aught but Love. It was My Mission — to make
it possible for seekers to touch Him!
“There is a border where your
meditation ceases. There you cease to be as
individuality. Beyond of it, there is only Love,
Which is Allah!
“I dissolve in Myself those who come
to Me with love in the heart! And the Light of Allah
fills them!
“I bring Myself closer to them if
they are little yet.
“I submerge them into Myself if they
are large. I submerge them into Allah to that depth
which they have grown up to.
“But always it is the same thing
that happens — dissolution in the Light of
Allah!”
