- A true story with guiding advice; relating to each of us in our journey in life.

A certain man believed that the ordinary waking life, as people know it, could not possibly be complete. He sought the real Teacher of the Age. He read many books and joined many circles, and he heard the words and witnessed the deeds of one master after another. He carried out the commands and spiritual exercises which seemed to him to be most attractive.

He became elated with some of his experiences. At other times he was confused; and he had no idea at all of what his stage was, or where and when his search might end.

This man was reviewing his behavior one day when he suddenly found himself near the house of a certain sage of high repute. In the garden of that house, he encountered Khidr (Alayhi Salam), the secret guide who shows the way to Truth.

Khidr (Alayhi Salam) took him to a place where he saw people in great distress and woe, and he asked who they were. “We are those who did not follow real teachings, who were not true to our undertakings, who revered self-appointed teachers,” they said.

Then the man was taken by Khidr (Alayhi Salam) to a place where everyone was attractive and full of joy. He asked who they were. “We are those who did not follow the real Signs of the Way,” they said.

“But if you have ignored the Signs, how can you be happy?” asked the traveler.

“Because we chose happiness instead of Truth,” said the people, “just as those who chose the self-appointed chose also misery.”

“The goal of man is Truth. Truth is more than happiness. The man who has Truth can have whatever mood he wishes, or none,” they told him. “We have pretended that Truth is happiness, and happiness Truth, and people have believed us, therefore you, too, have until now imagined that happiness must be the same as Truth. But happiness makes you its prisoner, as does woe.”

Then the man found himself back in the garden with Khidr (Alayhi Salam) beside him.

“I will grant you one desire,” said Khidr (Alayhi Salam).

“I wish to know why I have failed in my search and how I can succeed in it,” said the man. “You have all but wasted your life,” said Khidr (Alayhi Salam), “because you have been a liar. Your lie has been in seeking personal gratification when you could have been seeking Truth.”

“And yet I came to the point where I found you,” said the man, “and that is something which happens to hardly anyone at all.”

“And you met me,” said Khidr (Alayhi Salam), “because you had sufficient sincerity to desire Truth for its own sake, just for an instant. It was that sincerity, in that single instant, which made me answer your call.”

Now the man felt an overwhelming desire to find Truth, even if he lost himself.

Khidr (Alayhi Salam), however, was starting to walk away, and the man began to run after him.

“You may not follow me,” said Khidr (Alayhi Salam), “because I am returning to the ordinary world, the world of lies, for that is where I have to be, if I am to do my work.”

The literal meaning of Faqr is indigence and poverty. However, according to the Mystics it is the destination of life about which Prophet Mohammad (pbuh) said the following;

اَلۡفَقۡرُ فَخۡرِیۡ وَالۡفَقۡرُ مِنِّی

Faqr is my pride and Faqr is from me.

Certainly, Faqr is a remarkable inward rank and marvel. There is nothing comparable to it in the inward.

Faqr is the eternal destiny of those people who abdicated all the luxuries of world and hereafter on the day of Divine covenant. Thus, they remained firmly devoted to the Almighty Allah only. Indeed, none of the charms and pleasures of universe could shake their steadfastness.

Undoubtedly, this is the way of ardent Divine Love.

It is the righteous path which takes the slave of Allah to Allah.

The outward aspect of Faqr is to adopt the virtues of Prophet Mohammad. Whereas the inward aspect is the Divine vision and union.

Just like musk, the fragrance of Faqr cannot remain hidden. It manifests from the whole being of the Fakir with his each and every deed, which attracts people towards him.

In this righteous path, accepting the Reality by gaining superficial knowledge and not by personal observation is infidelity. However, not believing the Reality after personal observation is also infidelity.

It has nothing to do with the genealogy. In fact, one cannot inherit AlFaqr.

The fiercest heat of Hell is its coolest portion!

Were it not for the lovers’ tears cooling

The heat of love, burned by heartsickness would they be!

Leave him with his tears to quench the heat

Of a yearning heart, leave him, leave him!

Ask his rebukers to excuse him for a time,

For in their rebuke at his desire have they killed him!

One of the Gnostics would say, ‘Is it not strange that I am living amongst you as one of you, yet in my heart there is a longing for my Lord like a blazing furnace that refuses to go out!’
