Tasavur e sheikh

"Tasavur e sheikh" ( vision/picture/thought/ feeling of teacher )

Murshid/ teacher/ sheikh teaches the Mureed a form of telepathic communication which has been used since centuries for communication between teacher and disciple. The procedure is very simple but takes time to master and it pays dividends once mastered.

The Mureed is told to memorise a picture or form of teacher, most notably the face. It's preferable to memorise a picture in which the murshid is in his spiritual ecstasy form wearing the full attire (pahgri/ dastaar etc) of his silsila. The face is important because of colour of skin, face expressions and most importantly the eyes. In later stages the Mureed sees the expression changing, colours of face changing, smile, serious or loving expression etc.


INITIAL STAGE
The initial stage of memorising the picture of teacher is very difficult. Different people go through different patterns of stages. For the most devout Mureed's, it's very easy as the teacher already lives in the heart. Satan plays its part too. Satan tries to invoke different pictures of animals, dirt, nakedness etc in mind when the Mureed is trying to create an image of murshid in the mind. If the Mureed doesn't not give up, Satan gives in and the teacher also helps when he sees the amount of effort that the Mureed is putting in to get a clear vision of teacher in his mind. It can be done with eyes closed, eyes opened(though difficult but easy with practice).

PROCEDURE

When the mureed gets the image fixated i his mind, then the vision is used whenever the mureed needs to contact the teacher. As soon as mureed brings the picture of teacher in mind, the teacher atonce within milli seconds gets the Signal that somebody is remembering him, calling him, thinking of him. The teacher switches on his radar and gets to know which mureed is creating his vision in his mind. Now the teacher has many choices how to respond, the teacher can:


1. Reach the place spiritually where mureed is and sit/stand next to him, check his whereabouts, stay with him for a few minutes or as long as he wants. Now the teacher can also leave a feeling, a typical perfumed smell (every teacher is blessed with a perfumed smell different from other teachers, mureeds think its a perfume he is wearing but this fragrance is not found in perfumes), even show himself, show his face, show a glance of a second, move something like glass near mureed...basically leave a sign that the teacher answered his call.


2. Show the expressions through his face which the mureed is seeing in vision. Even better talk to mureed through that face. The mureed gets sentences in his mind that someone is talking to him or hear the sentences properly also. The mureed can also ask for help to pray to God about any affliction.


3. sitting at his home, the teacher can view whats happening to mureed and if there is a problem then solve it through his powers, but usually he atonce contacts God and then gets a signal whether to use powers or keep making dua.


4. send a creature (moakil) to mureed to get full report.


5. Even ignore (teacher can have his reasons and they usually do). If the mureed is disliked temporarily, the mureed may see a face with stiff expression and skin red in colour.


USES


There are many uses of tasavur e shaikh.


1. A mureed in ishq/love of teacher yearning to see the picture of teacher again n again, stays in this state when talking, eating, at work, in front of computer and then starts getting elevated in his spiritual journey. He cant think of any bad deed since murshid face is always infront of him. he remains away from sins. Thought of murshid keeps him clean, pious and focused always.


2. The first face is of murshid, then after sometime (years) mureed sees the face of murshid's own teacher and so on and so forth till he starts seeing Hazrat Muhammad SAW (takes ages, decades to reach this stage). Remember the teacher's job is to take mureed towards God and last prophet SAW.


3. An example would be of Hazrat Nizammudin Auliya R.A, the favourite mureed of Hazoor Baba Fareed R.A. who got all his spiritual blessings and powers through staying in vision. No hardship of chilla/manzil etc. Just staying in vision made him one of the famous saints of subcontinent in Delhi.


4. Mureed gets closer to God as whenever God sees him and checks him, the mureed is in vision of his beloved, ofcourse teacher is a beloved of God more than common humans.


5. At a later stage, the face of mureed starts to become the face of the teacher (ab mein, mein nahi raha, tu ho gaya). The noor and brightness of teacher comes on his face, people start to think he is a relative or brother of teacher. Other spiritual creatures (jinns etc) dont come near him, as they see his teacher inside him. The fragrance of teacher starts coming from him also.He starts to become a carbon copy of the teacher. Worldly problems stay away from him as they see the beloved of God (teacher) residing inside him.


6. Tasavur e shaikh is the direct hot line/path to teacher even if mureed is sitting 1000 miles away.The tarrap( longing) of mureed in vision keeps reaching the teacher so the teacher becomes forced (in a good way) to visit/ think of that mureed.


7. Concentration in salah becomes easy because vision is about concentration on one entity, one face, one being. Meditation on zikr of Allah becomes easy.
