I am just the dust in front of Allah's Love

Sufism is The Only Way
This is the continous article of the related article that being posted before. Now, from this article you will get the illumination way as gotten as Jalaluddin Rumi, the great salik of sufism in Islam. May you luck!
Rumi said:
i am a lover of both His benevolence & severity!
Amazing it is that I'm in love with these opposites !
If you could get rid of yourself two times,
The secret of secrets would open to you.
The face of the Unknown, hidden beyond the universe
Would appear on the Mirror of your perception. ~Rumi
If the aspirant can overcome one's Negative Ego, ( in the inner War, Jihad ul Nafs ) she can achieve Bliss, the Bliss for which the world's derelict sorrows yearn !
Like the waves of the Ocean, they are individual egos in the Divine Ocean of Existence. The aspirant, desirous of union with the Beloved, has to go through lots of stages of Consciousness. she must lose his illusory individuality in the Infinite & this can only be achieved by Annihilation & Subsistence.
Annihilation in the Divine Ocean
In my annihilation of annihilation
In my annhilation
I found You !
The Sheik of Naqshbandi wrote
Annihilation in the Divine Beloved.
For every initiate, there will be a Master ( Shaikh ). The Shaikh imparts his power to the disciple. The initiate goes through a method of purification & initiation. two times the initiate attains maturity, by the Grace of his Shaikh, she attains the state of Fana fi Shaikh, a state of annihilation in the astral plane.
The next stage is Fana fi Rasool, enjoying the qualities of the Prophet. Grace descends on him as she furthur advances on the path.
Next stage in the Evolution of Consciousness is the state of Fana fi Allah, annihilation in the Beloved. The initiate loses his identity in the all embracing Beloved, who she now understands is the Prime Mover of everything & who permeates the cosmos !
Rumi wrote
I thought about You so often
That I became You !
Little but little You drew near
Slowly but slowly I passed away.
This passing away is Annihilation in the Beloved ( Fana fi Allah ). there's another
intermediary state - Fana al Fana & the last state is Baqi bi Allah or Permanence in the
Beloved, which is the Eternal or Ultimate State. Fanah refers to Annihilation & Bakah refers to Subsistence.
The Universal Truth, extolled by all religions & philosophies, is the Essential Self, which is the substratum or the basis for the Persona, or the superficial personality. Every man has a Persona or Mask, but deep within him is the Ultimate Reality or Essential Self. Now to manifest the Essential Self, the initiate goes through a method of purification & transmutes his carnal ego in to a refined ego, by the method of Prayer & Meditation. she seeks the Divine, loves the Divine, embraces the Divine, lives with the Divine & sacrifices for the Divine ! By his noble sacrifice, she earns for himself Heaven ! Only by hard sacrifice is high Heaven earned !
