The 'Ayn Thabita Is Partial (عین ثابتہ جزوی ہے)

The 'ayn thabita (the fixed essence of a being in divine knowledge) is partial — meaning it pertains to a specific individual existence — but from it, much can be extracted. Every 'ayn thabita has alongside it another 'ayn thabita as a companion — the fundamental point is that there is a single essence that is incomparable — now from some conditions, its specificities and each specificity is alongside it — 'ayn thabita is the same in total — it is a total reality and an individual reality — 'ayn thabita is total — 'ayn al-a'yan (the essence of essences) is an individual essence.

The True Reality of 'Ayn Thabita Muhammadiyya (عین ثابتہ محمدیؒ کی حقیقت)

The 'Ayn Thabita Muhammadiyya — what is broadcast as the 'Ayn Thabita Muhammadi to the world — what is its comparison? 'Allahu al-Muʿṭī wa ana al-Qāsim' (hadith recorded in al-Bukhārī: Allah is the Giver and I am the distributor) — in the 'Ayn Thabita Muhammadiyya there is nothing — there is nothing at all — people take this to be a mistake — people think (meaning they think) that this 'ayn thabita that they affect is based on the merits — the 'ayn thabita says what it says, that is what is the origin — it is originally self-sufficient and independent — and the meaning of this is 'to be' — our Allah keeps our extraction from the pure — there is something — that is 'to be' — the essence says what speaks — nothing — that is 'to be so.' It speaks without speech — no one would say 'yes' — what are they saying — 'he is' — the answer is 'he is that — so it is so.'

Irfan and Jazb — Two Wings of the Heart (عرفان و جذب کے بارے میں ہدایت)

Hazrat said — (addressing Habib Ali Sahib) — the times of unconsciousness, inattentiveness, confusion, alertness — keep alert — 'tell me — what is the play of the two?' (meaning: jazb (divine attraction) and irfan (gnostic knowledge) and shari'at — properly discharging both of these together is — like on two shoulders the burden of water from two houses is filled and raised — that is one divine grace — the more I sit in that, the more hope of grace and kindness grows — Allah gives him certainty (meaning to disciples).
