Though the Earth may appear static, it rotates and revolves at a specific speed and at a tilted angle, like a spinning top. The Earth remains on its orbit, and the orbit becomes its circle. The nature of this circle is that it acts as an enclosure, and the Earth functions upon it.
“Lo! Is not He surrounding all things?” (Quran, 41:54)
Though the Earth travels in rotational movements, it moves forward in spirals. One cannot overlook the phenomenon that the Earth, while maintaining its revolutionary movements, also rotate around its axis. While the rotational movements are associated with the unlimited system of the universe, the revolutionary movement demonstrates the limited system. The characteristic of the unlimited system, due to its speed being thousands of times greater, is that it makes the space seem non-existent, and one does not feel the distance (space). While on the other hand, in the limited system, distance maintains the individuality of things. This implies that in the circular motion, the speed is so fast that the space of an object gets subdued. Contrary to this, the revolutionary movement remains in the circle, and maintains the structure of the object despite each circle being connected to the other circles.
When the Earth enters into one circle from another, there is space in between these circles. This space is responsible for the establishment of Earth; if space ends, Earth will not be visible. While the space in between the circles maintains the individuality, the circle maintains the entire system. Earth is a base upon which everything is established. From this perspective, the status of everything is that of earth, and hence the law mentioned above applies to everything that exists.
Understand the rotational and revolutionary movements through the following examples, and seek out for more of such illustrations.
1. Ghaib (unseen) is the centre of life. Life arrives from Ghaib, and consistently goes through the process of Ghaib and Zahir (seen), and returns to the Ghaib. While the demonstration of life is revolutionary movement, the entry and exit into Ghaib is rotational movement. If there is no demonstration of the revolutionary movement, none of the creations will be manifested.
2. The shape of the spinning top is triangular. When one wraps a string around the coil-like part, the spinning top gets liberated from being a triangle and goes on to become a circle. The coil is in fact, a repetition of adjoined circles, in other words, it is a spiral. When one rotates their hand, jerks the spinning top, and throws it at a tilted angle, it becomes free of the string and begins to spin on the earth – while spinning, the top neither stays at the centre, nor remains straight, Instead, it tilts and moves forward in circles. The reason it moves forward is due to its tilt, thereby demonstrating the revolutionary movement. If the spinning top would not move forward and spun at the point it has fallen, the energy generated through this process would create a hole in the earth, and the spinning top would enter into another zone. Readers, do experiment this.
3. Contrary to the spinning top, is a fan. A fan moves around its centre too, but it does not disappear. There is a fixed distance (space) between its blades and it remains intact despite the rotational journey of the blades. The space between the blades cuts through the air, and the revolutionary system of the fan functions within the circle.
4. The mountains appear to be stationary and fixed, however, according to the Holy Quran, they are floating like clouds. All actions such as, flying, walking, and floating are under the influence of rotational and revolutionary movements. The clouds are a collection of gases and vapour that are suspended in the atmosphere. God Almighty has likened mountains to clouds. When we look at mountains from the perspective of being clouds, then we understand that mountains birth, grow, and after spending a life span, pass away too. Murshid-e-Kareem (Revered Spiritual Master), Abdal-e-Haq Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA) has shared, “Even the mountains breathe. Each of their breath is fifteen minutes long. As per medical science, mankind breathes twelve to twenty times per minute. The reason we see the mountains fixed is because of our vision working in two modes.
· In one mode, the vision sees an object enclosed in space.
· In the other mode, the vision sees objects free without their enclosing space.
5. When one walks, the earth folds around their feet. Huzoor Qalandar Baba Auliya (RA) has shared the formula of speed. His son, Mr. Aftab Mian, liked to pay his respect at mausoleums, and often took us with him. Once, we travelled from Hyderabad to visit the mausoleum of Hazarat Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai (RA). When we implemented the formula shared by Murshid-e-Kareem, we noticed that the earth was folding up like a row. The earth kept folding as we walked and we reached our destination without realizing the time we had taken.
LAW – If one’s mind is under the influence of the rotational movement (subconscious) of the earth, then, space shrinks.
Explanation: Life is established on two dimensions; one is sleep and
the other is wakefulness. While life is under the influence of material existence during wakefulness, it is free from its influence in the dream state. We repeat everything that we do in the restricted life, in the liberated life too, and to an extent that having a bath becomes obligatory, through our dream, when we eat pilaf in a restaurant, we wake up with our fingers still fragrant with its aroma. As all the tasks that we perform in our wakefulness are performed in our dreams too, then in this case what is the different between two?
Note: No movement, feeling, or action occur without the rotational and revolutionary system.
“Lo! Is not He surrounding all things?” (Quran, 41:54)
Everything manifests and gets hidden within the enclosure of the rotational movement. The attribute of God, “The All Encompassing,” surrounds everything. The process of encompassing creates the rotational system, while the revolutionary system creates the manifested from of an object. When the rotational movements overpower the revolutionary movements, the manifested shape and form disappear. One must be clear that in spiritual science, the revolutionary system is referred to as an object or a triangle.
In this case, what is the rotational system?
The Creator of the universe, God Almighty, is connected to His creations at all times and the creations are dependent on their Creator for their existence. The creations, bring energy form the Ghaib, demonstrate the energy, and return to the Ghaib for more energy. This process continues till the proportions of life remain, that is, until the object finally disappears
May God protect you..
