6. The Subtlety of Ana

It is located in the head, and is colourless. Dhikr (Remembrance) of ‘Ya Hu’ is its culmination. It, having gained spiritual strength, reaches and sees God unveiled, and manages to speak with God. This is the station of Divine Lovers. Besides this, some of God’s Favourites are also conferred on them other special divine spirits such as Tifle-e-Noori (Spirit of God’s Light) and Jussa-e-Tawfeeq-e-Ilahi (Spirit of God). Understanding such elites is beyond the power of intellect. Through the subtlety of Ana, God can be seen in dreams. Through the Jussa-e-Tawfeeq-e-Illahi (Divine Sub-spirit), God can be seen in Transcendental Meditation (Muraqibah). And those that possess Tifl-e-Noori (God’s image gifted to the elite of the elite, which are only seven in total, and they are known as Sultan al Fuqra) see God in the state of consciousness.

The world knows them as ‘The Might of God’. They may, on their accord, convey anyone to the Maqam Mehmood (the Station of Praise and Glory) either through worship, austerities, or through their merciful glance. Believer or disbeliever, dead or alive, matters not in their eyes. Just as a thief became a Saint with a single merciful glance of Abdul Qadir Jilani. Abu Bakar Hawari and Mangha Daku also became Saints following a glance from such elites.

All five of the Grand Messengers were, categorically, given knowledge pertaining to the subtlety they belong to, hence, spirituality continued to grow in strength and quality. Whichever subtlety you will revive and engage with God’s remembrance, you will deserve to obtain grace of the concerned Grand Messenger, and will be connected with him. Whichever subtlety comes under the theophanies of God, you will be granted Sainthood concerning that particular subtlety. Access to the seven realms and acquisition of different grades in the seven paradises are also through the subtleties of the breast.
