بشنو ید اے دوستاں ایں داستاں
O’
friends! Listen to this story
خود حقیقت نقد حال ماست آں
Which is the true reflection of our present condition
It
says that listen to a story which is in fact really
like our own status on the day. The reason for relation is that the way a king
became mad for a handmaiden in the story, in the similar way the king i.e. rooh
(روح -soul)
is indulged with the girl i.e. nafs
(نفس)and obedient to it. The way the girl was in love with the
goldsmith, similarly, the nafs is tasting and relishing the desires of this world.
The way the king went for inexperienced or weak doctors for treatment of the
girl and did not get profited, similarly, one is not getting benefitted with
the company of fake and inexperienced masters i.e. sheikhs. The way the experienced
doctor has treated the illness by making the goldsmith ugly through medicines
so that the girl started disliking him and then killed him. The girl became
hale and healthy. Similarly when an experienced master separates the desires of
world from the nafs slowly to the extent that it automatically rejects these desires
and become cured of the illness of the nafs and the king i.e. rooh will again
start getting benefited from it. The gist of learning of the path of seeking
Allah Ta’ala is that if you want to remove the rust from your heart, then you
have to move to an experienced master i.e. sheikh and act according to his
advice, who will cure you as per your illness.
Benefit – Major portion of the contents of Maulana’s Mathnavi is dedicated to two specifics: one
is the oneness of Allah Ta’ala (توحید
)and the second is its approach,
which is through an experienced master i.e. sheikh.
