The Final Limit

Our Master, the venerable Khwaja Muhammad Nazim says,
Only he who abandons the covetousness of this life and the next
will be given pleasure that no one can imagine. A murid becomes
eligible for these powers when he becomes free of his ego's
tyranny. When they are granted, he is a free man, forever free
from the limitations of time and space. Time and space are
illusions which now bind us. When we are free they are at our
command.
The
Power of Attraction
The Power of
Attraction is the power which enabled the saintly advisor of
King Soloman to bring the throne of the Queen of Sheba to
Jerusalem from Yeman in the same time it takes for an eye to
blink, or less (Holy Quran, Chapter 34). This is the power that
enables one to draw anything to himself. Inanimate objects are
the easiest, people the most difficult.
The
Power of Emanation
The Power of
Emanation or Outpouring is the Power to be the means for the
transfer of the experience of the Divine Presence to the murid.
It is all embracing light that overflows the brim which these
Divine favors the brim of the vessel. The Holy Prophet is the
vessel in which these Divine favors are poured and, as they are
without end, they flow from his heart, to the hearts of Saints
and from theirs to those of murids.
The
Power of Connection
The Power of
Connection is the power to connect at all times to this chain of
transmission of Divine power and favors. For Saints it is the
intimate knowledge of the Prophet's realities and those of the
chain of Shaykhs leading to him. For those who are yet aspiring
to that station it is the daily invocation of the names of those
Grandshayks leading up to the Holy Prophet. In our time, the
time when the advent of Imam al Mahdi is anticipated, many more
people will have access to this power than ever before.
The
Power of Alignment
The Power of
Alignment enables the Shaykh to turn his heart towards the
hearts of his murids at any given time, and to turn their hearts
towards their destinations. If he cant do this then it is
meaningless to say that he is a Shaykh. The first step is in
his turning the heart of the murid towards his own; after this
it will be possible to turn it onwards.
The
Power of Guidance
The Power of
Guidance is the power to lead one on his way to his destination
once he has been turned toward the direction through the Power
of Alignment. For example, if you arrive at Heathrow Airport it
is not enough, you must be lead or given directions to arrive at
your specific destination in London. Therefore, being turned in
the direction is only the first step, the door of the maze; you
must be helped on through it.
The Power of
'Folding-Space'
The Power of
'Folding-Space' is the power to travel at will anywhere in the
Universe without actually traveling the distance, but rather by
"rolling it up" like a parchment. Such a thing is unattainable
except for those who have subdued the physical body
absolutely.
Presently our souls are encased in our physical bodies. The
secret of this power is that, by bringing the physical body
under control it becomes encased in the spiritual body, and the
movement of the spiritual body is not cumbersome like that of
this body. What is the speed of a donkey compared to the speed
of Light? The speed of light is like a donkey compared to the
speed of the spiritual body.
