Spiritual Experiences - An Extremely Grand Secret
An Extremely Grand Secret
Tags: Monoreality
1. It would be an amazing question for the friends of knowledge that, as everywhere in the wise Qur'an and the noble hadith there are secrets upon secrets, then how can it be said that a particular secret is the grandest, or extremely grand? Indeed, this situation is difficult, but the secret which the exalted Imam of the cycle of resurrection reveals as the final secret, would be the extremely grand secret, and that is Monoreality. The concept of Monoreality is the final and extremely grand secret which the most magnificent Imam, Hazrat-i Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah (May peace be through him), presented to the entire people of the world.
2. The miracles of Monoreality take place in the Sacred Sanctuary. These miracles are as follows:
- The continuous act of the enfolding and unfolding of the universe.
- The transformation of the progeny of Hazrat-i Adam (May peace be through him), whom God had created in His own Image, into the image of their father upon entering Paradise (i.e., the Sacred Sanctuary).
- Just as all human beings born from a single Adam were dispersed, similarly they together become one Adam (Single Soul).
- The rising of the sun of resurrection from the west.
- The sun, the moon and the stars join together and become one.
- The `arif experiencing himself in God.
- The jinns, humans and angels all turning into a single person.
- This single person in human form is also the Throne, the Pedestal, the Pen and the Tablet.
- Here, just one example represents all examples.
- Here, there is only one word and one action.
3. Here, the representative tree is only one and lives in the form of the Perfect Man. Sometimes it is the fig, sometimes the olive, sometimes the sacred tree, sometimes the tree of mount Sina'i sometimes the date-palm, sometimes the lote tree, etc. Here the representative pearl of all the pearls and minerals of the ocean and the land is only one. The same pearl is the sun, the moon, the stars and the light. Whose light is it? It is Allah's, the Prophets' and Imams' and that of mu'mins (believing) men and women. Thus, an understandable definition of Monoreality is that the luminous manifestation of the Single Soul which takes place in the Sacred Sanctuary, has only one light, only one word, only one act and only one allusion (example), and together, it is everything, and no reality is outside of it.
Al-hamdu li'llahi Rabbi'l-`alamin!
