rder to the Prophel (Sal) was to call people to say “La ilaha Mlalah” and then people said “la ilaha iUlallah”. The Prophet (Sal) taught the people to say “La ilaha jHallah”, yes he taught them to call Almighty Allah with the Affalul vikr - La flaha iallah, and now these people they are saying, that it is an snnovation (bidaat}. They say “don't go to that group of people who are saying the zikr of La daha illallah, don't approach them”. Keep away. What is this foolishness? What is this ignorance? Yes, this is Fasad.
Rasvolullah (Sa)) informed us that there will come a time during which people should understand Islam wrongly. They would look at Halal (permitted), as Haram (forbidden) and Haram as Halal. The right things should be wrong for thera, and the wrong things should be right for them. We must ask forgiveness irom Allah Almighty and also ask Him to confirm our fect on the right path. The path that the Prophet (Sal) was stepping on, to reach to Ridwanullah (Divine Presence.)

Tconéclastic Imagination Vs the Rendezvous with Reality
Bismillah i Rahman ir Raheem.
FP the Name of Allah Almighty, the Most Merciful, Most Beneficient and Most Munificient. There is Reality and there is Imagination. Imagination can never be reality and we find that man lives mostly in imagination, for it is so easy, so beautiful and so peaceful for a person to live his Ife through his imagination. However, our lives are important and they cannot be bullt on imagination. Yes, you can't base your life on imagination, Therefore it is necessary for mankind to look for reality. Perhaps, at the beginning of our lives, we let our Egos lead us through imagination. Later on, as we progress through our life, we begin to understand that we cannot build our life on this foundation of imagination. Therefore, at the beginning of one’s life, one may be excused, but it is not for ever that we can follow our imagination. Sometimes, we can say that women are excused. So many people are following imagination. Buddhists, Christians, Jews, all of them, they have now left reality and are following a way to do as they like, Is this not true?
~ 66 —
The Lord says, “As you like”, but we must say, “O people, believe in reality, even if you Hve in imagination, for that is best for you”. You are insisting to keep to’ your imagination - yes - even if you keep to your imagination, one day when your eyes open you will find that reality is the opposite of your imagination and you will find a way and path that you can never imagine. Therefore our brothers and sisters are all asking for reality. Yes, we may ask for reality because everything must carry reality in the end.
Even for Buddhism there must be a reality, because there are so many millions of people who are inquiring and going about and following it. But they are not asking what is the reality in religion, because there
‘are SO many imaginations, for example, Hke beating .
a drum and making that reality disappear. However, through Buddhism there must be a reality. Imagination is only a cover, it is like a person who comes to search for a treasure and some people in the locality divert the treasure hunter with his map, to various other points, so that he does not find the treasure, The people of the locality cover this place and show the wrong place and as a result, that treasure hunter never finds it. However ‘the people of the locality know that the treasure is somewhere and are waiting for this
person to go away so that they may look for it later on. This is what has happened for over three thousand years because Shaithan was misleading millions and billions of people about Lord Buddha, by never letting people find out the reality in Buddhism and the reality of its teachings. These teachings are there, but they are covered with imagination. If the lock is shown to
-@67- you, the key is not given, If the key is given, the lock is not shown. Such things are done to Mmusguide people who look for the reality of Buddhism.
Yes, as I said earlier, there is a reality in Buddhism. There is reality in all ancient beliefs, because man was created and beliefs were planted in their hearts. They must believe in something because without beliefs, no one can live. There are so many people who believe in non-belief. They are unbelievers and they believe in nonbelief. This is also a kind of beHef. They say “We do not believe in anything, our belief is not to believe in anything.” Yes, this type of atheism is their type of belief, for they do believe in that. So I say that everyone has to have a belief in something or another. Right belief or wrong belief.
The personality of the Buddha has disappeared through perplexity and mystification. Shaithan is mystifying his personality and after three thousand years, you can't make cut a clear personality as to when and where it ends. This is because it is Shaithan's target to make confusion by way of mystification and for its true teachings to lose its reality. Therefore Buddha was a real personality. He gave his teachings to people but he never told people to worship him. He was not a foolish one ta say that, “I am that one who created the Worlds”, or “I am that Supreme Power, who is governing Universes", and he was not such a one to claim his power from Super galaxies upto the creation of atoms. He never claimed to command or look after anything. No person, unless he has a small mentality, will agree with such wisdoms. Tt ts impossible for Buddha, being a man of food and drink, of breath and sleep, of growth and death, to claim to be such a Supreme, great power. How can he claim
~ 88 -
such a thing? How is it possible for such an ordinary person to have such supreme power? In the first instatice, such supreme power will destroy his own body, as the body cannot take such a supreme power in itself. If thal power comes externally, the body wiil vanish and be destroyed. It must mean that the body is under the control of a Supreme Power and that Supreme Power is covering him from every direction, both outside and inside. It should command him, control him and cover him from every side and every direction, What is that power? If that power is controlling him, only then can he be a representative of that Supreme power.
Today, they will not accept that Buddha was a representative of that Supreme Power. Buddhist people do not accept the fact that Buddha was a representative of that Supreme Power, They are only claiming that Buddha was a supreme power himself. If he was a source of all Supreme Power, then that is imagination. It is against the spirit of reality and when we speak of reality, some Buddhist brothers may or may not accept this reality. Everyone has freedom in accepting reality. Their acceptance cr refiusal is never going to change this reality. They can never be able to make the Buddha the main source of Supreme Power. If he was the source of Supreme Power, he should be able to make the many statues of his image to move, to look and to see. If he was the source of Supreme Power, he should be able to put power through his statues and there will be no need to put a lamp or light in [ront of these images. It should be, by itself, at least, able to give a glow of light to all his statues. However, this is imagination. There is a Supreme Power
-~69- commanding and controlling everything and that .
Supreme Power must be above our imagination.
Even Christians are falling into Iconoclastic Im- agination. They imagine so many images of Jesus Christ and of his Mother. Today, in the West, you do not have the image of the unclothed, crucified Christ on a cross, outside their churches. Their statues have changed to more attractive personality symbols for Christianity. They feel ashamed to make people to believe in a person who has been crucified on a cross ‘Therefore even in Sri Lanka, in the new churches we may never find images of Christ on a cross. They are changing their imagination to portray the image of Christ to be a representative af Supreme Power, They now want to show Christ in perhaps more magnificient forms. They put a crown on his head and put the world or a globe in his hands to make it more attractive to people. In Sri Lanka, perhaps they may try lo altract Buddhist peaple by saying that ail the images of the Buddha are always sleeping, but look at our King, he is King of the world. Look at his new image! "
Therefore Christians are also living in imagination for over two thousand years. They cannot be able to separate reality from Christianity. Real Christians know that they are folowing imagination today and this imagination is creating the rituals they follow. They seem to be happy for the present, but as Seyyedina Ali (Allah Bless him) once said, “Mostly people are sleeping throughout their lives in this world and the only wake up when they are dying”. What he mane to say is that most people are sleeping in this life with their imagination and are not searching for Truth
-70-
or Reality. They like io live with {heir imagination and try to be happy in this life. but this situation cannot go on for ever. When death comes, they must open their eyes and when they open their eyes. they will see something else. Then they should see reality, and only at thal lime will they be surprised to look at the truth of reality. Therefore, temporarily, people seem to be happy today. practising their imagination, making statues, icons, statteltes and performing rituals in front of them. Islam is calling them to think and 10 search for that lost reality. islam is a reality seller, We Muslims are not imagination sulesmen. We say, “La-ilaha-llallah: There is no god but Allah, the Ordy Supreme Powe". We say that all people were created frain one source, from one Supreme Ppwer,
Science, Knowledge and Astronomy are committed to reveal this reality. Knowledge has come to us that the whole structure of this Universe is of the same structure that you find in every atom. The first creation of the Universe is the same structure that you find through the atom. It ts the main source for the structure of this huge Universe and other Universes. It is the same for the gigantic galaxies, upto the smallest thing in creation, the main building source is the minute atom. Who is commanding the atom oF commanding the gigantic galaxies? By the way of knowledge and Science, you can see that ultimately all of them is controlled by just One Supreme Power. It is impossible to have two Supreme Powers, When you say Supreme Power it cannot share that power with any other power. And if any other power is sharing that power, it cannot and will not be a Supreme Power. It is our belief that
_7L- the Supreme Power is controlling everything but it is never controlled. We say that Allah Almighty is that Supreme Power ard that there is no one else controlling Him. This is reality and we are asking peopie through their positive Science and Knowledge to believe in this important. point, that everything is coniroiled by a Supreme Power, Even when you look at the ten billion huge galaxies moving in one direction, you cannot find any galaxies moving against each other all of them are Moving in the same direction and not one 1s moving against so as to collide with each other. You can find an excellent, most perfect traffic throughout the Salaxies.
When the Seal of Prophets (Sal] was on his night Jourmey of Mihraj and watching the parade of the angels in the Heavens, he asked Archangel Jtbreel {alat) from where they are comung and to where they are going, Archangel Jibreel (alai) replied that from the time he was created, he has seen this huge row of angels passing like lightning and that he does not know when they began or when they will end or finish. Allah Almighty says “They are My soldiers and no one knows the number of my servants or angels and no one knows the limits of My territory. I am that One wha has Supreme Power and I am that One who creates and governs the movements of all galaxies, to follow a direction, and in My Hands is that Real Supreme Power”. Nothing can be against that direction and here, even on Earth, there is a direction to follow. No one can be against the Supreme Power that controls the Earth and everything that is aut of the Earth throughout Space.
-7F72-—
This is Reality. We in Islam are not calling people to believe in imagination. Whoever who wants to be happy with reality may come to us and understand. If not, they may play Hke small children with their imaginations and wait untii death opens their eyes to reality. We cannot accept that Buddha claimed that Supreme Power was in his hands. rle could not have said this. {he had said this, we must ask the Buddha as to whom he was concentrating on, meditating and worshipping. Where was he really running and how was he reaching to that Supreme Power's Divine Presence? He was asking for this Supreme Power's Divine Presence but people of wrong understanding make the Buddha their target. People became narrow in understanding through this very short area of the mind and they cannot break the limits of this understanding and ta come out and see what is the reality in the Buddha. Buddha was only a servant of his Lord, Adah Almighty, Buddha was always meditating and asking to guide people towards this Divine Presence of Allah Almighty - the controller of Supreme Power. However, today we only see followers making it a business of making statues in this short life and wasting their precious lives on the rituals of imagination. We are sorry that even today people are insisting on their wrong imagination. If they ask for reality, they must. leave all their tmages and must ask to find through their hearts, ihe representatives of the Supreme Power. W they realty find in their hearts that representative then they can reach out of time and space.
The reality of Buddha was to teach people to get out of this time and space and when he was meditating, closing his eyes he was teaching people by saying,
—73- “Q people, you must try to get out from the prison of this life, from the prison of your physical bodies and you must try to reach the Supreme Power's Divine Presence”. ff you can do that, you should be happy and when you are in real happiness, you are foing to be free. Free from all the heavy burdens of this life and only then will you reach out of time and space. You must follow the way of reality and you cannot be free from time and space when you follow the way of imagination. You will carry the heavy burdens of life as long as you are not out of time and space.
The Lord, Allah Almighty wants to make your burdens of life lighter for He never likes to place heavy burdens on His servants. He wants to make His servant's burdens more and more light like the soul, without weight. When you are going to be as light as your soul, He will carry you from your physical bodies to Divine Territories. He may take you to the real target of the purpose of this life and that is to be taken to the presence of the Supreme Power and
Divinity and from Divinity to his endless kingdom and ~
to find yourself in His Divine - His Supreme Presence. That was and that is the real target of the Buddha. He was asking people not to make themselves imprisoned with the statues of Imagination.
Masha Allah, | am asking forgiveness for me and for you from all types of wrong-thinking people and asking for Divine Lights to make it easy for His servants to find reality and leave imagination.

The Judge of Judgments
‘Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem
(Foose who understand Islam must come to embrace slam, likewise those who understand tarigat must come to Tariqat while those who do not understand will keep away.
In the markets there are marry shops. The Shop keepers sit inside their shops through the whole day expecting the customers to come. When a customer comes the shopkeeper does not quarrel with the customer if he is late, but welcome him anyway. He is not angry whether the customer is early or late, but he is pleased when the buyer arrives. The Prophet's market is open for the last fifteen centuries. The buyers and the selers have come and gone for these fifteen centuries. The Prophet always says “Welcome”.
In these markets we sell jewellery not potatoes or tomatoes. Shariat brings gems and Tariqat makes these into jewellery by polishing them. This is a good example for understanding. When I was here in Sri Lanka I was shown some rough stones and when T jooked at them they locked very ordinary. Later however I was taken to a Jewellery Shop and I saw
-~75-— an amazing collection of jewellery. I asked “from where are these”. They told me “These are the same rough stones we showed you earlier, but mow we have polished it. We worked on those rough stunes and polished them making them heautiful”.
In the same way the rough stones brought by the Prophet (Sal) were polished By the Imams, Sheiks and Saints. They polished these gems and made them so beautiful. The very same gems. But there are a foolish set of people who say “no need to work on polishing these gems, they should be as they were at that time”. They say that it is bidaat, shirk and kufr. Don’t say this, Those who accuse Moomins saying that, they are Kafirs are going to be Kafir. Those who say for Muslims that they are Mushrik are equal to Mushriks. He who says of Musiims that they are doing bidaat, they them-scives are the ones who do bidaat. They are lacking in understanding.
in the Holy Quran Allah Almighty says “I gave understanding to Sulaiman.” (Astaitu - biHahi - wafatana - Sulaiman). Dawaod (Alai} however was not given ihis type of understanding. There is a famous story about them. When I was in Malaysia I stayed with the Royal family and there I met a High Court Judge from England. I was talking io this gentleman and 1 asked him about this farnous judgment of Sulaiman {Alai). I told him that this was a story that should be also found in the Old Testament. It is not only a story but what really happened in the past. The story is this:- Two persons came to Dawood (Alai} and asked him to give judgment on an incident that took place. A flock of sheep belonging to one of these
-76-
persons, had gone into the corn field of the other person and eaten the com in that field. Now this person whose com was eaten was asking for Judgment. Dawood (Alai) said “Calculate the value of the com that was eaten. Then pay the equal value of that com in fleck to him”,
When these persons were leaving Sulairnan (Alai) asked them as to what judgment his father had given them. When they told him of this judgment, Sulaiman (Alai}) said “that Judgment is wrong. go and ask him for another Judgment”, Dawood (Alai} was a Nabi (Prophet), but he had not been given (he understanding of Sulaiman (Alai). Even this Chief High Court Judge could not find anything wrong in the Judgment -of Dawood (Alai}. But yet ‘Sulaiman (Alai} was saying “go and ask my father for better Judgment". Then Dawood (Alai) called his son Sulaiman (Altai) and asked him “give your judgment then, if it is. going to be better”. Then Sulaiman (Alai) said “The Owner of the flock should give his flock over to the other perseri for a period of one year Ul] the corn.in that Held grows up to the level that it was, before it was eaten. When the cotn grows upto this level, he’ should give back the flock and take back his corn”. Then Dawood (Alal] agreed with his son that this was the best judgment. This English Judge also tolkt me that this was the best Judgment. This Judgment is only an example of good fudgment.
‘Allah Almighty asks who is he that is able to give a better Judgment than Himself. But people today think that if they follow the laws (Shariat) of Islam by themselves, that it is enough. That is a completely
-F7- wrong view. However clever a person may be he can only come to the level as that of Dawcod’s {Alai) Judgment. That will be his limit. He cannot go further. They are empty headed people. They do not think that Allah Alnighty’s Judgment is better than theirs. As they do not think of this and do not accept this, there is trouble everywhere. He who understands, may understand.

The Bowstring of Kashf and the Arrow of Ajal
Bismillah i Rahman ir Raheem.
FA mighty Allah manifests everything in His servants. Nothing is going to be by chance. Everything
manifested is prepared, arranged and programmed. The programming is very fine. Al anfazul malauda_ Fe amakil mahloodah - the breathings of a person are humbered and it is written as to how many breaths you should breathe throughout your life. That number never changes. it is also written at which place you should breathe and at which time. For example, you are present here and you are breathing, those breaths have been written to be breathed at this place. When these breaths are finished you will go in another direction to find your breathings. Each one finishes his breathings in one place and then Teaches on to a different place to find his breathings (for those breathings for this person, have been written at that other place} Everyone is Sakalufee Falakin Yas Fahoon. Everyone is programmed as to which way he shouid stop. He cannot put even one step in another place for which he is not programmed,

This is (he ole = is is the way also of Seyyadina Ibrahim (Alai) —~80-
When Nimrod threw [brahim (Alaij into a huge fire, all the angels said to Allah Almighty “Oh lord your Kaleel (friend) has been thrown into a fire by your enemy, Nimrod”. Then Allah Almighty said to Jibril ([Alai} “would you like to help him”. The angels also said to Jibril {Alai) “he has always been a friend to you, therefore reach to him and help him”. Jibril (Alai} came from Sidrathul Muntaha {the heavens) faster than the speed of light. He stood in froni of Seyyadina Tbrahim and asked him “do you need help because without your permission we will not be able to- help you". Seyyadina fbrahim said “No 1 am not asking for your help”. Then Jipril (Alai) said, “ask help from your Lord” then Ibrahim (Ajai) replied, “there is no need to ask Him. He is looking and He sees and knows where 1 am, therefore there is no need lo ask Tim”. That is the top Jevel, not to ask. But ii you reach to that Jevel, you must ask for help. When you reach to the level of the station (maqam) of Seyyadina Ibrahim you are not able to ask because you will be ashamed to ask.
- What 1 mean to say is that AHah Abmighty orders
His servants to ask Him for help till a person comes to this perfect station. When he arrives at this perfect station he would say there is nothing for me to ask now as 1 now belong to Him. He knows what i am in peed of, therefore 1 need not ask. His knowledge aboul me is perfect knowledge and my knowledge about myself is nothing.
Therefore as beginners, we should ask. But when you reach to that perfect stalion you must keep Adab in the Divine Presence and not ask. The Adab in
-~s1l-— the Divine Presence is mot to ask, but if you have been ordered to ask then you must ask. If there are no orders to ask then you should never ask. Rasoolullah {Sai) never asked umtil he had been ordered to ask. When the Divine Addressing came to Rasooluliah (Sall] saying “Ask and I shail give”, then he asked. Yes, those people on that level never asked for themselves. They were ashamed ta do this. They only asked for their nations. Ail the Prophets ask for iheir nations and they may also ask for the nation of Muhammed {salj, but for themselves they ask for nothing. They have nothing to ask for themselves because they are servants, A Curator knows where everyone Is present. This Curator (Almighty Allah}, knows all the needs of His servants because he has an absolute and perfect knowledge, and He is the manifestor of ad! creation. Leave it to Him.
Therefore the Prophet [Sal) was saying “Allah humma hilni wahtalni” - “Oh my Lord you choose for me, Don't let me choose my way, bul you choose a way for me and lead me as you like’. This is a level over the level of Ibrahim {Alai) to say “Choose for me as you like and make me to accept your choice.” That is important. To be able to choose what He chooses for you and not to quarrel with your Ego.
Seyyadina Ali (Ral) was entering a mosque for his moming prayer, when he saw his murderer lying face down and he tapped him with his foot saying “Oh man, I know for what you have come here. You are sleeping like Shaitan on your face. Don’t sleep like this". A person who sleeps on his face may be well
—~82-
known by his face. The slaves of Shailan sleep’ on their faces so that people cannot see their faces and about what bad they are going to do. Don't sleep like Shaitan is sleeping. Al (Ral) locked at this person’s face and knew that he was trying to kil! him, He knew that, that was what Allah Almighty had chosen for him. So Ali (Ral) was saying “You Allah Almighty are trying to test me, by showing me who is going to kill me, to see whether 1 am accepting your will or not”. Yes Seyyadina Ali was perfect through this test. He said to his killer” You are going to kill me”, But that person fell on Ali's (Ral) feet saying “Oh Iman don’t let me do that. You kill me”, But Seyyadina All said to him “How can I do that. If I kill you 1 will be killed under Islamic Law. I cannot tell as an excuse that because I knew that you will kill me one day that I killed you. Shariat will not accept this defence. Therefore I cannot kill you". Ali (Ral) knew what his Lord had chosen for him. He was not trying to change that for he said “No need, for what should I change it’.
seyyadina Ali was a person who destroyed armies by himself. It was not possible for a person to fight face to face with him and kill him. It was impossible. But when he was praying and when this person attacked him he never tried to defend himself. Qiyarath “Allah's act” - the killing flight of the arrow came to him and it was only like a tmosquito touching him and he died because the Divine Command and Divine Choice made it that way for him,
During the battle of Hazreth Ali (Ral} and Hazreth Muawiya, one sahaba, reported that “after Magrib we
-~ 83 - were sitting in our tent and when it was dark, a person came to our tent and we found out as to who it was and that person gave salams to us saying Asalann Alai Kum Ya Sahabil Kiram” and we repHed “Wa Alaikum Salam Ya Ali” after recognising him. We wondered as to how Hazrath AH was going around the batile tents after dark all alone without even his bodyguards. When we questioned Hazrath Ak (Ral) he replied that Aah Almighty had said {hat there were Angels protecting Allah's true servants from from and behind trom any harm. They are protected unless harm comes with the “Arrow of Ajal” which is the “Arrow of Destiny” Which finishes our lives and brings death Lo us.
When that arrow touches a person, his life finishes and since Allah's true servant knows when the Arrow of Ajai comes, and since he knows that He is protected by Allah's bodyguards or Angels, he will know when fhe Angels will open the protection for the arrow to pass. He knows that when that time comes nothing can be done to protect him or ‘anyone else. Therefore Hazarat Ali was going about undeterred and making his patrol rounds. Yes Hazrath Ali had reached to a level of Kashf where the veiis of the heart were taken away and he could took at the Preserved Tablet (awhul mahfooz). In the same manner the Saints are looking and are likewise continuing on their path. if this is shown to common or ordinary people they may look at their Qadr (Destiny) and want to escape therefrom. Therefore Allah Almighty is not showing this to ordinary people, but only to the Awliyas (Saints. it is shown to them and they always sitbmit to the
~84-—
Will of the Almighty. Ordinary people will not submit to the Divine Will and ihey will always try to find a means of escape by taking more bodyguards or more siale policemen in order to protect themselves from any harm. If Allah Almighty in that level {the level of Awliyas) sends any harm to these people they will always accept it and be willing to carry out the Divine Will.
Therefore, when Hazrath Ali (Ral) was murdered. who do you think paid for his compensation (Deeyath), for one killed by mistake? Allah Almighiy paid the compensation for Hazrath Ali's murder. He asked him to be patient and there was no objection from Seyyadina Ali (Ral) with regard to his fate. Hagrath Ali (Ral) accepted his fate because his teacher was a perfect teacher who was non other than Seyyadina Muhammed Rasooluliah (Sal}. Seyyadina Rasoolullah (Sal) was his perfect teacher and he taught him everything.

They say “don't go to that group of people who are saying the zikr of La daha illallah, don't approach them”. Keep away. What is this foolishness? What is this ignorance? Yes, this is Fasad.
Rasvolullah (Sa)) informed us that there will come a time during which people should understand Islam wrongly. They would look at Halal (permitted), as Haram (forbidden) and Haram as Halal. The right things should be wrong for thera, and the wrong things should be right for them. We must ask forgiveness irom Allah Almighty and also ask Him to confirm our fect on the right path. The path that the Prophet (Sal) was stepping on, to reach to Ridwanullah (Divine Presence.)

Tconéclastic Imagination Vs the Rendezvous with Reality
Bismillah i Rahman ir Raheem.
FP the Name of Allah Almighty, the Most Merciful, Most Beneficient and Most Munificient. There is Reality and there is Imagination. Imagination can never be reality and we find that man lives mostly in imagination, for it is so easy, so beautiful and so peaceful for a person to live his Ife through his imagination. However, our lives are important and they cannot be bullt on imagination. Yes, you can't base your life on imagination, Therefore it is necessary for mankind to look for reality. Perhaps, at the beginning of our lives, we let our Egos lead us through imagination. Later on, as we progress through our life, we begin to understand that we cannot build our life on this foundation of imagination. Therefore, at the beginning of one’s life, one may be excused, but it is not for ever that we can follow our imagination. Sometimes, we can say that women are excused. So many people are following imagination. Buddhists, Christians, Jews, all of them, they have now left reality and are following a way to do as they like, Is this not true?
~ 66 —
The Lord says, “As you like”, but we must say, “O people, believe in reality, even if you Hve in imagination, for that is best for you”. You are insisting to keep to’ your imagination - yes - even if you keep to your imagination, one day when your eyes open you will find that reality is the opposite of your imagination and you will find a way and path that you can never imagine. Therefore our brothers and sisters are all asking for reality. Yes, we may ask for reality because everything must carry reality in the end.
Even for Buddhism there must be a reality, because there are so many millions of people who are inquiring and going about and following it. But they are not asking what is the reality in religion, because there
‘are SO many imaginations, for example, Hke beating .
a drum and making that reality disappear. However, through Buddhism there must be a reality. Imagination is only a cover, it is like a person who comes to search for a treasure and some people in the locality divert the treasure hunter with his map, to various other points, so that he does not find the treasure, The people of the locality cover this place and show the wrong place and as a result, that treasure hunter never finds it. However ‘the people of the locality know that the treasure is somewhere and are waiting for this
person to go away so that they may look for it later on. This is what has happened for over three thousand years because Shaithan was misleading millions and billions of people about Lord Buddha, by never letting people find out the reality in Buddhism and the reality of its teachings. These teachings are there, but they are covered with imagination. If the lock is shown to
-@67- you, the key is not given, If the key is given, the lock is not shown. Such things are done to Mmusguide people who look for the reality of Buddhism.
Yes, as I said earlier, there is a reality in Buddhism. There is reality in all ancient beliefs, because man was created and beliefs were planted in their hearts. They must believe in something because without beliefs, no one can live. There are so many people who believe in non-belief. They are unbelievers and they believe in nonbelief. This is also a kind of beHef. They say “We do not believe in anything, our belief is not to believe in anything.” Yes, this type of atheism is their type of belief, for they do believe in that. So I say that everyone has to have a belief in something or another. Right belief or wrong belief.
The personality of the Buddha has disappeared through perplexity and mystification. Shaithan is mystifying his personality and after three thousand years, you can't make cut a clear personality as to when and where it ends. This is because it is Shaithan's target to make confusion by way of mystification and for its true teachings to lose its reality. Therefore Buddha was a real personality. He gave his teachings to people but he never told people to worship him. He was not a foolish one ta say that, “I am that one who created the Worlds”, or “I am that Supreme Power, who is governing Universes", and he was not such a one to claim his power from Super galaxies upto the creation of atoms. He never claimed to command or look after anything. No person, unless he has a small mentality, will agree with such wisdoms. Tt ts impossible for Buddha, being a man of food and drink, of breath and sleep, of growth and death, to claim to be such a Supreme, great power. How can he claim
~ 88 -
such a thing? How is it possible for such an ordinary person to have such supreme power? In the first instatice, such supreme power will destroy his own body, as the body cannot take such a supreme power in itself. If thal power comes externally, the body wiil vanish and be destroyed. It must mean that the body is under the control of a Supreme Power and that Supreme Power is covering him from every direction, both outside and inside. It should command him, control him and cover him from every side and every direction, What is that power? If that power is controlling him, only then can he be a representative of that Supreme power.
Today, they will not accept that Buddha was a representative of that Supreme Power. Buddhist people do not accept the fact that Buddha was a representative of that Supreme Power, They are only claiming that Buddha was a supreme power himself. If he was a source of all Supreme Power, then that is imagination. It is against the spirit of reality and when we speak of reality, some Buddhist brothers may or may not accept this reality. Everyone has freedom in accepting reality. Their acceptance cr refiusal is never going to change this reality. They can never be able to make the Buddha the main source of Supreme Power. If he was the source of Supreme Power, he should be able to make the many statues of his image to move, to look and to see. If he was the source of Supreme Power, he should be able to put power through his statues and there will be no need to put a lamp or light in [ront of these images. It should be, by itself, at least, able to give a glow of light to all his statues. However, this is imagination. There is a Supreme Power
-~69- commanding and controlling everything and that .
Supreme Power must be above our imagination.
Even Christians are falling into Iconoclastic Im- agination. They imagine so many images of Jesus Christ and of his Mother. Today, in the West, you do not have the image of the unclothed, crucified Christ on a cross, outside their churches. Their statues have changed to more attractive personality symbols for Christianity. They feel ashamed to make people to believe in a person who has been crucified on a cross ‘Therefore even in Sri Lanka, in the new churches we may never find images of Christ on a cross. They are changing their imagination to portray the image of Christ to be a representative af Supreme Power, They now want to show Christ in perhaps more magnificient forms. They put a crown on his head and put the world or a globe in his hands to make it more attractive to people. In Sri Lanka, perhaps they may try lo altract Buddhist peaple by saying that ail the images of the Buddha are always sleeping, but look at our King, he is King of the world. Look at his new image! "
Therefore Christians are also living in imagination for over two thousand years. They cannot be able to separate reality from Christianity. Real Christians know that they are folowing imagination today and this imagination is creating the rituals they follow. They seem to be happy for the present, but as Seyyedina Ali (Allah Bless him) once said, “Mostly people are sleeping throughout their lives in this world and the only wake up when they are dying”. What he mane to say is that most people are sleeping in this life with their imagination and are not searching for Truth
-70-
or Reality. They like io live with {heir imagination and try to be happy in this life. but this situation cannot go on for ever. When death comes, they must open their eyes and when they open their eyes. they will see something else. Then they should see reality, and only at thal lime will they be surprised to look at the truth of reality. Therefore, temporarily, people seem to be happy today. practising their imagination, making statues, icons, statteltes and performing rituals in front of them. Islam is calling them to think and 10 search for that lost reality. islam is a reality seller, We Muslims are not imagination sulesmen. We say, “La-ilaha-llallah: There is no god but Allah, the Ordy Supreme Powe". We say that all people were created frain one source, from one Supreme Ppwer,
Science, Knowledge and Astronomy are committed to reveal this reality. Knowledge has come to us that the whole structure of this Universe is of the same structure that you find in every atom. The first creation of the Universe is the same structure that you find through the atom. It ts the main source for the structure of this huge Universe and other Universes. It is the same for the gigantic galaxies, upto the smallest thing in creation, the main building source is the minute atom. Who is commanding the atom oF commanding the gigantic galaxies? By the way of knowledge and Science, you can see that ultimately all of them is controlled by just One Supreme Power. It is impossible to have two Supreme Powers, When you say Supreme Power it cannot share that power with any other power. And if any other power is sharing that power, it cannot and will not be a Supreme Power. It is our belief that
_7L- the Supreme Power is controlling everything but it is never controlled. We say that Allah Almighty is that Supreme Power ard that there is no one else controlling Him. This is reality and we are asking peopie through their positive Science and Knowledge to believe in this important. point, that everything is coniroiled by a Supreme Power, Even when you look at the ten billion huge galaxies moving in one direction, you cannot find any galaxies moving against each other all of them are Moving in the same direction and not one 1s moving against so as to collide with each other. You can find an excellent, most perfect traffic throughout the Salaxies.
When the Seal of Prophets (Sal] was on his night Jourmey of Mihraj and watching the parade of the angels in the Heavens, he asked Archangel Jtbreel {alat) from where they are comung and to where they are going, Archangel Jibreel (alai) replied that from the time he was created, he has seen this huge row of angels passing like lightning and that he does not know when they began or when they will end or finish. Allah Almighty says “They are My soldiers and no one knows the number of my servants or angels and no one knows the limits of My territory. I am that One wha has Supreme Power and I am that One who creates and governs the movements of all galaxies, to follow a direction, and in My Hands is that Real Supreme Power”. Nothing can be against that direction and here, even on Earth, there is a direction to follow. No one can be against the Supreme Power that controls the Earth and everything that is aut of the Earth throughout Space.
-7F72-—
This is Reality. We in Islam are not calling people to believe in imagination. Whoever who wants to be happy with reality may come to us and understand. If not, they may play Hke small children with their imaginations and wait untii death opens their eyes to reality. We cannot accept that Buddha claimed that Supreme Power was in his hands. rle could not have said this. {he had said this, we must ask the Buddha as to whom he was concentrating on, meditating and worshipping. Where was he really running and how was he reaching to that Supreme Power's Divine Presence? He was asking for this Supreme Power's Divine Presence but people of wrong understanding make the Buddha their target. People became narrow in understanding through this very short area of the mind and they cannot break the limits of this understanding and ta come out and see what is the reality in the Buddha. Buddha was only a servant of his Lord, Adah Almighty, Buddha was always meditating and asking to guide people towards this Divine Presence of Allah Almighty - the controller of Supreme Power. However, today we only see followers making it a business of making statues in this short life and wasting their precious lives on the rituals of imagination. We are sorry that even today people are insisting on their wrong imagination. If they ask for reality, they must. leave all their tmages and must ask to find through their hearts, ihe representatives of the Supreme Power. W they realty find in their hearts that representative then they can reach out of time and space.
The reality of Buddha was to teach people to get out of this time and space and when he was meditating, closing his eyes he was teaching people by saying,
—73- “Q people, you must try to get out from the prison of this life, from the prison of your physical bodies and you must try to reach the Supreme Power's Divine Presence”. ff you can do that, you should be happy and when you are in real happiness, you are foing to be free. Free from all the heavy burdens of this life and only then will you reach out of time and space. You must follow the way of reality and you cannot be free from time and space when you follow the way of imagination. You will carry the heavy burdens of life as long as you are not out of time and space.
The Lord, Allah Almighty wants to make your burdens of life lighter for He never likes to place heavy burdens on His servants. He wants to make His servant's burdens more and more light like the soul, without weight. When you are going to be as light as your soul, He will carry you from your physical bodies to Divine Territories. He may take you to the real target of the purpose of this life and that is to be taken to the presence of the Supreme Power and
Divinity and from Divinity to his endless kingdom and ~
to find yourself in His Divine - His Supreme Presence. That was and that is the real target of the Buddha. He was asking people not to make themselves imprisoned with the statues of Imagination.
Masha Allah, | am asking forgiveness for me and for you from all types of wrong-thinking people and asking for Divine Lights to make it easy for His servants to find reality and leave imagination.

The Judge of Judgments
‘Bismillah ir Rahman ir Raheem
(Foose who understand Islam must come to embrace slam, likewise those who understand tarigat must come to Tariqat while those who do not understand will keep away.
In the markets there are marry shops. The Shop keepers sit inside their shops through the whole day expecting the customers to come. When a customer comes the shopkeeper does not quarrel with the customer if he is late, but welcome him anyway. He is not angry whether the customer is early or late, but he is pleased when the buyer arrives. The Prophet's market is open for the last fifteen centuries. The buyers and the selers have come and gone for these fifteen centuries. The Prophet always says “Welcome”.
In these markets we sell jewellery not potatoes or tomatoes. Shariat brings gems and Tariqat makes these into jewellery by polishing them. This is a good example for understanding. When I was here in Sri Lanka I was shown some rough stones and when T jooked at them they locked very ordinary. Later however I was taken to a Jewellery Shop and I saw
-~75-— an amazing collection of jewellery. I asked “from where are these”. They told me “These are the same rough stones we showed you earlier, but mow we have polished it. We worked on those rough stunes and polished them making them heautiful”.
In the same way the rough stones brought by the Prophet (Sal) were polished By the Imams, Sheiks and Saints. They polished these gems and made them so beautiful. The very same gems. But there are a foolish set of people who say “no need to work on polishing these gems, they should be as they were at that time”. They say that it is bidaat, shirk and kufr. Don’t say this, Those who accuse Moomins saying that, they are Kafirs are going to be Kafir. Those who say for Muslims that they are Mushrik are equal to Mushriks. He who says of Musiims that they are doing bidaat, they them-scives are the ones who do bidaat. They are lacking in understanding.
in the Holy Quran Allah Almighty says “I gave understanding to Sulaiman.” (Astaitu - biHahi - wafatana - Sulaiman). Dawaod (Alai} however was not given ihis type of understanding. There is a famous story about them. When I was in Malaysia I stayed with the Royal family and there I met a High Court Judge from England. I was talking io this gentleman and 1 asked him about this farnous judgment of Sulaiman {Alai). I told him that this was a story that should be also found in the Old Testament. It is not only a story but what really happened in the past. The story is this:- Two persons came to Dawood (Alai} and asked him to give judgment on an incident that took place. A flock of sheep belonging to one of these
-76-
persons, had gone into the corn field of the other person and eaten the com in that field. Now this person whose com was eaten was asking for Judgment. Dawood (Alai) said “Calculate the value of the com that was eaten. Then pay the equal value of that com in fleck to him”,
When these persons were leaving Sulairnan (Alai) asked them as to what judgment his father had given them. When they told him of this judgment, Sulaiman (Alai}) said “that Judgment is wrong. go and ask him for another Judgment”, Dawood (Alai} was a Nabi (Prophet), but he had not been given (he understanding of Sulaiman (Alai). Even this Chief High Court Judge could not find anything wrong in the Judgment -of Dawood (Alai}. But yet ‘Sulaiman (Alai} was saying “go and ask my father for better Judgment". Then Dawood (Alai) called his son Sulaiman (Altai) and asked him “give your judgment then, if it is. going to be better”. Then Sulaiman (Alai) said “The Owner of the flock should give his flock over to the other perseri for a period of one year Ul] the corn.in that Held grows up to the level that it was, before it was eaten. When the cotn grows upto this level, he’ should give back the flock and take back his corn”. Then Dawood (Alal] agreed with his son that this was the best judgment. This English Judge also tolkt me that this was the best Judgment. This Judgment is only an example of good fudgment.
‘Allah Almighty asks who is he that is able to give a better Judgment than Himself. But people today think that if they follow the laws (Shariat) of Islam by themselves, that it is enough. That is a completely
-F7- wrong view. However clever a person may be he can only come to the level as that of Dawcod’s {Alai) Judgment. That will be his limit. He cannot go further. They are empty headed people. They do not think that Allah Alnighty’s Judgment is better than theirs. As they do not think of this and do not accept this, there is trouble everywhere. He who understands, may understand.

The Bowstring of Kashf and the Arrow of Ajal
Bismillah i Rahman ir Raheem.
FA mighty Allah manifests everything in His servants. Nothing is going to be by chance. Everything
manifested is prepared, arranged and programmed. The programming is very fine. Al anfazul malauda_ Fe amakil mahloodah - the breathings of a person are humbered and it is written as to how many breaths you should breathe throughout your life. That number never changes. it is also written at which place you should breathe and at which time. For example, you are present here and you are breathing, those breaths have been written to be breathed at this place. When these breaths are finished you will go in another direction to find your breathings. Each one finishes his breathings in one place and then Teaches on to a different place to find his breathings (for those breathings for this person, have been written at that other place} Everyone is Sakalufee Falakin Yas Fahoon. Everyone is programmed as to which way he shouid stop. He cannot put even one step in another place for which he is not programmed,

This is (he ole = is is the way also of Seyyadina Ibrahim (Alai) —~80-
When Nimrod threw [brahim (Alaij into a huge fire, all the angels said to Allah Almighty “Oh lord your Kaleel (friend) has been thrown into a fire by your enemy, Nimrod”. Then Allah Almighty said to Jibril ([Alai} “would you like to help him”. The angels also said to Jibril {Alai) “he has always been a friend to you, therefore reach to him and help him”. Jibril (Alai} came from Sidrathul Muntaha {the heavens) faster than the speed of light. He stood in froni of Seyyadina Tbrahim and asked him “do you need help because without your permission we will not be able to- help you". Seyyadina fbrahim said “No 1 am not asking for your help”. Then Jipril (Alai) said, “ask help from your Lord” then Ibrahim (Ajai) replied, “there is no need to ask Him. He is looking and He sees and knows where 1 am, therefore there is no need lo ask Tim”. That is the top Jevel, not to ask. But ii you reach to that Jevel, you must ask for help. When you reach to the level of the station (maqam) of Seyyadina Ibrahim you are not able to ask because you will be ashamed to ask.
- What 1 mean to say is that AHah Abmighty orders
His servants to ask Him for help till a person comes to this perfect station. When he arrives at this perfect station he would say there is nothing for me to ask now as 1 now belong to Him. He knows what i am in peed of, therefore 1 need not ask. His knowledge aboul me is perfect knowledge and my knowledge about myself is nothing.
Therefore as beginners, we should ask. But when you reach to that perfect stalion you must keep Adab in the Divine Presence and not ask. The Adab in
-~s1l-— the Divine Presence is mot to ask, but if you have been ordered to ask then you must ask. If there are no orders to ask then you should never ask. Rasoolullah {Sai) never asked umtil he had been ordered to ask. When the Divine Addressing came to Rasooluliah (Sall] saying “Ask and I shail give”, then he asked. Yes, those people on that level never asked for themselves. They were ashamed ta do this. They only asked for their nations. Ail the Prophets ask for iheir nations and they may also ask for the nation of Muhammed {salj, but for themselves they ask for nothing. They have nothing to ask for themselves because they are servants, A Curator knows where everyone Is present. This Curator (Almighty Allah}, knows all the needs of His servants because he has an absolute and perfect knowledge, and He is the manifestor of ad! creation. Leave it to Him.
Therefore the Prophet [Sal) was saying “Allah humma hilni wahtalni” - “Oh my Lord you choose for me, Don't let me choose my way, bul you choose a way for me and lead me as you like’. This is a level over the level of Ibrahim {Alai) to say “Choose for me as you like and make me to accept your choice.” That is important. To be able to choose what He chooses for you and not to quarrel with your Ego.
Seyyadina Ali (Ral) was entering a mosque for his moming prayer, when he saw his murderer lying face down and he tapped him with his foot saying “Oh man, I know for what you have come here. You are sleeping like Shaitan on your face. Don’t sleep like this". A person who sleeps on his face may be well
—~82-
known by his face. The slaves of Shailan sleep’ on their faces so that people cannot see their faces and about what bad they are going to do. Don't sleep like Shaitan is sleeping. Al (Ral) locked at this person’s face and knew that he was trying to kil! him, He knew that, that was what Allah Almighty had chosen for him. So Ali (Ral) was saying “You Allah Almighty are trying to test me, by showing me who is going to kill me, to see whether 1 am accepting your will or not”. Yes Seyyadina Ali was perfect through this test. He said to his killer” You are going to kill me”, But that person fell on Ali's (Ral) feet saying “Oh Iman don’t let me do that. You kill me”, But Seyyadina All said to him “How can I do that. If I kill you 1 will be killed under Islamic Law. I cannot tell as an excuse that because I knew that you will kill me one day that I killed you. Shariat will not accept this defence. Therefore I cannot kill you". Ali (Ral) knew what his Lord had chosen for him. He was not trying to change that for he said “No need, for what should I change it’.
seyyadina Ali was a person who destroyed armies by himself. It was not possible for a person to fight face to face with him and kill him. It was impossible. But when he was praying and when this person attacked him he never tried to defend himself. Qiyarath “Allah's act” - the killing flight of the arrow came to him and it was only like a tmosquito touching him and he died because the Divine Command and Divine Choice made it that way for him,
During the battle of Hazreth Ali (Ral} and Hazreth Muawiya, one sahaba, reported that “after Magrib we
-~ 83 - were sitting in our tent and when it was dark, a person came to our tent and we found out as to who it was and that person gave salams to us saying Asalann Alai Kum Ya Sahabil Kiram” and we repHed “Wa Alaikum Salam Ya Ali” after recognising him. We wondered as to how Hazrath AH was going around the batile tents after dark all alone without even his bodyguards. When we questioned Hazrath Ak (Ral) he replied that Aah Almighty had said {hat there were Angels protecting Allah's true servants from from and behind trom any harm. They are protected unless harm comes with the “Arrow of Ajal” which is the “Arrow of Destiny” Which finishes our lives and brings death Lo us.
When that arrow touches a person, his life finishes and since Allah's true servant knows when the Arrow of Ajai comes, and since he knows that He is protected by Allah's bodyguards or Angels, he will know when fhe Angels will open the protection for the arrow to pass. He knows that when that time comes nothing can be done to protect him or ‘anyone else. Therefore Hazarat Ali was going about undeterred and making his patrol rounds. Yes Hazrath Ali had reached to a level of Kashf where the veiis of the heart were taken away and he could took at the Preserved Tablet (awhul mahfooz). In the same manner the Saints are looking and are likewise continuing on their path. if this is shown to common or ordinary people they may look at their Qadr (Destiny) and want to escape therefrom. Therefore Allah Almighty is not showing this to ordinary people, but only to the Awliyas (Saints. it is shown to them and they always sitbmit to the
~84-—
Will of the Almighty. Ordinary people will not submit to the Divine Will and ihey will always try to find a means of escape by taking more bodyguards or more siale policemen in order to protect themselves from any harm. If Allah Almighty in that level {the level of Awliyas) sends any harm to these people they will always accept it and be willing to carry out the Divine Will.
Therefore, when Hazrath Ali (Ral) was murdered. who do you think paid for his compensation (Deeyath), for one killed by mistake? Allah Almighiy paid the compensation for Hazrath Ali's murder. He asked him to be patient and there was no objection from Seyyadina Ali (Ral) with regard to his fate. Hagrath Ali (Ral) accepted his fate because his teacher was a perfect teacher who was non other than Seyyadina Muhammed Rasooluliah (Sal}. Seyyadina Rasoolullah (Sal) was his perfect teacher and he taught him everything.
