در یکے گفتہ کہ واجب خدمت ست
In one, he says obedience of
commands is necessary
ورنہ اندیشہ توکل تہمت ست
Otherwise thoughts of trust is
allegations
در یکے گفتہ کہ امر و نہی ہا ست
He says the commands of dos and
don’ts
بہرِ کردن نیست شرحِ عجزِ ماست
Are nothing to act but to show
your helplessness
تاکہ عجزِ خود بہ بینیم اندراں
So that we can see our
helplessness
قدرتِ حق را بد انیم آں زماں
And understand the powers of God
then
در یکے گفتا کہ عجزِ خود مبیں
In one, he says don’t see your
helplessness
کُفرِ نعمت کردن ست آں عجز ہیں
Beware! This helplessness is
ingratitude
قدرتِ خود بیں کہ ایں قدرت از وست
See your powers, which is given
by Him only
قدرتِ خود نعمت اُو داں کہ ہُوست
Try to understand your power as
it is given by Him
در یکے گفتہ کزیں دو در گذر
In one, he says go beyond these
two
بُت بُود ہرچہ بگنجد در نظر
It may be idol if it comes into
your vision
He
wrote in one of the letters that the nature’ commands and prohibitions are not
for acting upon but to demonstrate our helplessness and weakness i.e. نعوذبااللّاہ, it is a deliberate attempt to fix such
tough rules, which a person cannot be able to do, and thus realize his
helplessness. Once witnessing our weakness in this, we should be able to understand
and believe in the power of Allah. As once you come to know your humbleness and
weakness, then you can understand the all out power of Allah. Thus the outcome
is to proclaim the rights of one’s powers (جبر)
and negation of a human being slave (عبد).
He wrote in another letter that one should not see one’s helplessness (عجز)
i.e. do not consider yourself as helplessness without any authority, as the
believing in helplessness is a kind of ingratitude of the bounties given i.e.
Allah has given a person the authority to choose and the fellow is negating the
same. Rather one should see towards one’s nature, as it is provided by Allah and
instead consider this bounty as the manifestation of Allah. He wrote in another
letter that to just ignore both the helplessness as well as the one’s power (قدرت),
as whatever you comprehend is idol and one will distract from Allah if he sees
these things. Thus these letters were contradictory.
