Mrs Be Aql Khan Usta : To get to his heart i went to the kitchen
I created feast what defies bravery of Hercules for that coward chicken
He said no wodu no ablutions can reach the inner organ
Apart from the pure thought
Yes i see it is my brains what sees your pain
But my belly lusts for your pot
I said no it is my heart what pumps the signal
What gives birth to my logic and AQL
It is i the BE AQL the intelligence beyond brain
I don't suffer from the sweat and pain
He said suffering is the veil
The BARZAKH Fitrathullah flesh
Yes it is who under go every pain and distress
I said if you are in distress then i am not in Fanafillah
I am not dancing like dubious Darvesh
Nor am i doing the Zikr of rappers ILLAH BILLAH
He said to get toward the growth you must learn as pressure grows till it becomes the tension
Same as when release grows till it becomes the relaxation
So when one thing grows to become another
So when you take intention toward concentration or even little further
The Yogic meditation or even further the end the Samadi
Even than you can only reach the Fanafillah level of
SUFI HINDU CHIRSTIAN AND YAHUDI
But to become MUSLIM you must learn it is the beginning level the octagonal KAABA
ONE SPEAKER LAST SERMON and one hundred and twenty for thousand SHAHABA
Dead mad or manic seizure
Samadi Fanafillah tranche's or what ever
In it you find your self as you go in
Or you separate your self as you go out
There with Yogic plus or egoic minus without any dilemma without any doubt
There in content trap you cease the process
Your natural system of growth and aspirations by your contentment distress
When you reach this stage you unify everything and think everything is GOD and you are part of him
But if you only learn to grow and ask ALLAH the AL AZIM
Oh ALLAH when i am not in Fanafillah when i am not in Samadi
I see my self as creature within the creation within the community of
MUSLIM HINDU CHRISTIAN AND YAHUDI
Oh ALLAH as i was born there was the time
And when i die with you the SUBHANALLAH the sublime
And i know i was not there at the beginning of the creation nor do i know when it will end
Therefore tell me ALLAH what was your very first creation
Who came from GOD went for GOD remain with GOD who became forever the GODSEND
Once you do this then you revive your living dead condition
And find your self at the bottom the immortal MUHAMMADAN ladder
You learn you are not the businessman only your soul was that of the trader
Now if you know the law of TIJARAH then grow and prosper
In this cubical COSMOS and in this circular SANSAR

Oh my dear Roger Frager dont flashing us your academic stuffs
my goats have great appetite for concepts and green papers
chum chom chew..if your sufic exposition and ideas are real
Many seekers travel to and arrived at Madinatul Munawarra
but they were exasprated cant view the majestic Jabal uhud

Maulana Rumi says when a sufi heart turns all existence gone
so where is your claim that you know Islam and write on sufism.
Go across the renown Stone Bridge of Chao chou in Chekiang
a proud patchrobed monk saw only a simple wooden bridge
He questions the Zen Master and here is the paradox answer:
You dont see the stone bridge,it lets asses and horses across !

I am glad to realize there is something more refined than my human soul.

The inner heart and the secret soul are thrilling concepts.

Can a person ever know their secret soul?

Can we have knowledge of our transcendent soul?

I am enjoying your articles. But have a question

The soul or ruh is directly connected with the Divine, even if one is unconscious of that connection.  The soul has seven levels or facets of the complete soul.  These levels are: mineral, vegetable, animal, personal, human, secret and secret of secret souls.  Each level represents the stages of evolution, and the process that it goes through in its growth.  The soul is wholistic, and extends to all aspects of the person, ie: the body, the mind and the spirit.  Each level of the soul has valuable gifts and strengths, as well as weaknesses.  The goal is to develop the strengths and to achieve a balance between these levels, not forgoing the lower ones to focus only on the higher ones.

 

I can figure out the animal, human, secret and secret of secret souls, I think, but mineral and vegatable are a little beyond me.  Unless that is to say we are a part of all the earth.

 

I would say its part of our organic self. As for being part of all the earth, we all have elements that the earth and universe is made of  and basically that is star dust

 

Anyway, I did a little search to find something that is on par with the topic and i did found something:there is more in the article as below is in the middle, the link is under the exerpt. 

 

TRANSFORMATION and SERVICE

There are as many ways to reach reality as there are individuals, but all true ways involve transformation of the ego nature and service to creation. The basis of morality and service to others is selfless love and this comes as a result of self-work, a process of discovery of our deeper Self, well beyond the superficial personality.

The sufis have become aware of the different levels of our self, they recognise up to seven different aspects of the soul (nafs), and know how to balance them. We are all dominated by different souls at times, but the sufi aim is to maintain spiritual balance.

These souls are:

The mineral soul . Our deep mineral structure, connected to the skeletal system, includes our basic sense of connection, at atomic and subatomic levels, with all the universe. However, its characteristic is , like a crystal, to be rigid.

The vegetable soul. It is located in the liver and related to the digestive system. At this level transmission of energy and transmutation begins. Nourishment and growth is one of its functions. To have a healthy vegetable soul, we need healthy nourishment ( at physical, emotional, intellectual and spiritual levels)

The animal soul . It includes our basic emotional states, passions and fears. It is located in the heart and the circulatory system. Passions and fears are functional, they can be useful and give us vitality and strength. but they must not dominate our lives otherwise they distort our perception and behaviour. Emotional unbalance in the student dervish is the first area of concern which the sufi teacher addresses with appropriate practices and correctives.

The personal soul, located in the brain and the nervous system. It allows us to elaborate advanced response to the environment by developing complex thinking models and planning. This centre is also connected with the ego and the sense of personal identity or self.

The human soul is located in the inner or spiritual heart, it is the focus for spiritual values such as compassion and creativity. This is heart intelligence

The secret soul, is what remembers our divine origin and it is therefore the seat of inner consciousness. It is also located in the inner heart.

Beyond this, there is the secret of secrets, the soul of the soul, totally transcendent (beyond space-time).

Each of the souls ( except the last two) have positive as well negative characteristics, the negatives occuring as a result of unbalance.

The last three souls (human and secret souls) can be seriously damaged, even anesthesised and deadened by abuse of substances such as drugs and alcohol. For this reason these are forbidden in Islam.
