زیں نمط زیں نوع دہ طومار و دو
Twelve such long letters of
that kind and flavor
بر نوشت آں دینِ عیسیٰ را عَدو
Were written by the vizier, the
enemy of the religion of Jesus
اُوز یک رنگی عیسیٰ نو نداشت
He could not have sensed the
smell of oneness preached by Jesus
وز مزاجِ خمِّ عیسیٰ بُو نداشت
Neither he had the practice of
pitcher of Jesus
جامہ صد رنگ ازاں خُمِّ صفا
The cloths of hundreds of
colors, when put into that pitcher
سادہ و یک رنگ گشتے چوں ضیا
Used to become of one color of noor
(light)
نیست یکرنگی کز و خیزد ملال
It is not of that oneness, with
which one gets satiated
بل مثالِ ماہی و آب زُلال
Rather its example is that of
fish and clear water
گرچہ دُر خشکی ہزاراں رنگہا ست
Although there are thousands of
colors in the earth
ماہیاں را با یُبوست جنگہا ست
But the fish has revulsion
towards the earth
The discussion on topic that there
is differentiation in speed but not on the truth of the path
The
title of this para discusses that the truth is the single objective for all the
People of Truth (اہلِ
حق) and there is no difference in this
regard, but the difference is merely on the way of achieving it. Like a doctor,
who sends his two disciples to attend two different patients for their
treatment, then there must be difference in the prescription of the two due to
differences in the illness, but the ultimate objective of both is same to get
the patients well. Similarly, the objectives of different prophets is same to achieve nearness and wusool-Allah,
but there may be difference in the paths taken by them. Thus in the following
discussion, the stupidity of the Jews vizier has been mentioned as he is
putting the religion of Jesus against that of Moses and could not be able to
see the same objective of both i.e. one-ness (وحدت).
In the couplets it states that this vizier could not comprehend the single
colour of Jesus, which is matching with that of Moses, and he was also not able
to comprehend effects of the internal (باطنی)
pot of Jesus. Otherwise he could have understood that Jesus was not making
people against Moses, but calling all of them to the same single objective,
which was there in the teachings of both Jesus and Moses. As Maulana states
that the effect of the pot of Jesus was that clothes of hundreds of colours, if
put into it, are coloured into a single colour i.e. the people of different
beliefs became pure and single-coloured (in tauheed (توحید)
and became capable for wusool-allah) like the single-coloured nature of light.
It
has been seen and understood by senses that holding on to a single condition or
a single thing leads to monotonousness and people are usually fed off it, which
is known as ‘malaal’(ملال)
in Arabic. Therefore it was possible for
some common person to have doubt that the internal single-colouredness may also
be the same. In order to remove, he states that this is not that kind of
single-colouredness, which causes boredom. In order to remove this doubt, he states
that it is not that single coloredness, which causes boredom, rather it has
example like fish and sweet water. The fish do not become bored from sweet
water, even though the sweet water does not have different conditions/ colors.
Though the dryness of land may have different thousands of colours and
conditions, but the fish have revulsion against and abhorrence to the land.
Similarly, People of Tauheed (اہلِ
توحید) and People of Knowledge (معرفہ)
(which are termed as fish in such examples) with respect to their relation with
Allah (which are termed as river/ sea in similitude) are never satiated and chance of boredom can never occur. The
reason for no chance of boredom is that it happens when the desire of one for
another is saturated and this is
saturated where the perfection (کمالات)
of the beloved is saturated/ finished or the desire of the seeker is satiated.
And when neither the desire of a Gnostic never sates nor the perfection of the
Beloved can never finish, then there is no chances of ending of desire and
instead it is increasing every now and then. Then how can boredom be happened.
