🌼Secrets of Kazimayn🌼

🌸🔆🌿 The secret of Kazimi restraint

An outline, with a supplement, from the “Meshkat-e Noor Gathering,” on the evening of the vigil for Imam Musa ibn Ja‘far, peace be upon them both  1401.11.27  Ali Saei (Abdullah Meshkat 110.141(903) 

🌸🔆 The secret of Kazimi restraint

🔆The Kazimiyyah of Imam Musa ibn Ja‘far, peace be upon him, is only one of the secrets of Imam Kazim, peace be upon him. Kazimiyyah is the secret of serenity, of vitality, of mastering fire, of security and strength, of order and discipline, and of taming storms.

🔆Kazimiyyah is the secret of serenity in the soul of creation.

🔆We must behold the Imam from the Imam’s own perspective! The Imam’s soul extends beyond the universe, and so calls for a vision vast enough to reach beyond it.

🔆The Imam’s attributes, character, conduct, and worship are as vast as his blessed soul. We must look upon the Imam with a vision that transcends the world. If the Imam becomes a storm, his storm encompasses the whole world.

🔆The Kazimiyyah of Imam Kazim gives rise to serenity throughout the world and bestows a peace as vast as creation itself.

🔆Recognizing the Imam’s distinctive place in the cosmos is essential to connecting with the reality of his soul and drawing nourishment from its essence.

🔆Let the current of Kazimiyyah pass through our own souls, so that its light may shine in the depths of our being.

🔆How does a person recognize their child—or children—amid a great crowd? Recognizing the Imam is easier than recognizing one’s children or relatives. Each of the Imams is far easier to recognize by the distinctive qualities that set him apart. We need only turn to the Imam with an open heart and an unclouded nature.

🌸🔆 Reflections on the mysteries of Imamate and Kazimiyyah

🔆Find the special time to meet Imam Kazim, peace be upon him. Know in what coordinates of time and place the Kazimi heart dwells.

🔆The face of each day shines with the beauty and perfection of the Imams, peace be upon them.

🔆Set the pulse of your age beating with the Kazimi pulse.

🔆The Kazimi thread woven through the fabric of creation is one of its beautiful mysteries. Find the Kazimi warp and weft in the world’s covering.

🔆The Kazimi time in earth and heaven, the Kazimi place in earth and heaven, and the Kazimi system of time are among Kazimiyyah’s hidden mysteries.

🔆The Kazimi path, secret, and lifeline in creation are the key to life. Let us find the Kazimi season of our souls, so that our year may be made whole.

🔆One cannot remove a principal organ without endangering life. Attend to the Kazim within you. The loss or destruction of one of the soul’s members diminishes or destroys our being.

🔆In what coordinates of creation does the Kazimi realm of sovereignty lie?

🔆How many heavens and stars are there? Where, within us, are the Kazimi heaven, star, and light? Let us discover the luminous and spiritual station of His Eminence.

🔆Knowledge of Kazimiyyah is the key to entering the soul of Kazim’s treasures. Let us learn how to attain Kazimiyyah and be nourished by it.

🔆The properties of Kazimiyyah—the properties of light, flowers and plants, and Kazimi essence; the arts of Kazimiyyah; understanding the instruments: sight, hearing, and inner perception, each an instrument in its own right, each suited to particular uses. Learning about Kazim is essential to unlocking these mysteries.

🔆Seeing, hearing, and so on through Kazim…

🔆The Kazimi realm of creation; Kazim beyond time; the Kazimi line; awakening the Kazim within through contemplation; kindling Kazimi heat with sparks from His Eminence’s words, conduct, tradition, and knowledge.

🔆Taste Kazimiyyah; breathe in Kazim’s fragrance and feel the grandeur of his soul. How, and in what state of contemplation, should we say, اللهم عرفنی موسی بن جعفر? Through contemplation, immerse yourself in Kazim.

🔆How can we stroke the Kazimi nature within us and awaken it? Let us perform Kazimi ablution. Let us open ourselves up with Kazim. Let us feel Kazim.

🌸🔆 The Imam is the Imam of the Age

🔆Through knowledge of the Imam, a person becomes a conqueror of lands and times.

🔆To enter the very soul of time is to enter the soul of life and growth.

🔆To knock at the Gate of God to the cadence of Musa ibn Jaʿfar, peace be upon them, is the key to entering the mysteries of the Kazimi tradition. So knock at God’s door to the melody of Musa ibn Jaʿfar, peace be upon them.

🔆Imam Musa ibn Jaʿfar, peace be upon him, is the key to the divine Kazimi computer and the vast divine network. One of the special mysteries of existence is Imam Musa ibn Jaʿfar, peace be upon them.

🔆All knowledge is inspiration; it shines like light. Knowledge of the Imam must shine into hearts.

🔆Imam Musa ibn Jaʿfar, peace be upon them, is a chapter in the book of knowledge—or rather, its source of illumination, its mine, its very essence.

🔆Time’s beginning, its turning, its structure, its course, its sensation and its system are all contained within the vast system of time known as wilayah and imamate.

🔆The Imams, peace be upon them, are the geography of time.

🔆A temporal perspective on God’s proofs reveals the secret of the ages’ turning.

🔆The clay of time is in the hands of the Imam of the Age.

🔆Knowledge of time is knowledge of the lifeblood: of the secret of growth, movement and perfection.

🔆The secret of global governance lies in the Imam’s inward role. The governance of hearts and the ordering of their affairs are among the mysteries of the imamate.

🔆Every heart is a pulpit of the Imam.

🔆We must consider the Imam’s natural and supernatural presence together if we are to grasp the wonders of the imamate.

🔆If he wills it, the Imam conquers hearts; he dwells throughout every precinct of time and space. The secret of Imam Musa ibn Jaʿfar’s imamate, revealed from within the dark dungeon of oppression, is one of its renowned mysteries.

🔆One day, Imam al-Kazim, peace be upon him, will be revealed to the world.

🔆The Imam’s conquests extend through time and space, the heart and human nature.

🔆The Imam is time itself, time’s clock; if it stops, all movement ceases.

🔆The Imam’s countenance appears across the earthly horizons throughout the day; together, these images form the beauty of Muhammad.

🔆This world is one region within a vast domain; it is a world of new beginnings.

🔆This world is like a womb; beyond it, what it carries will be born.

🔆It is better to set right the world’s weeds before they are uprooted. The Imam has come to set the world right.

🔆Knowledge of God’s proof is among the higher studies of human life.

🔆People everywhere must come to know God’s proof fully and fittingly, so that they may reach their destined goal.

🔆The Imam’s tools of governance are Khidr-like, Dhul-Qarnayn-like, Muhammadan, and more.

🌸🔆The mysteries of the human sciences in the words of Imam Musa ibn Jaʿfar, peace be upon them.

Arbili, Ali ibn Isa, *Kashf al-Ghumma fi Maʿrifat al-Aʾimma* (old edition), 2 volumes, Bani Hashemi, Tabriz, first printing, 1381 AH.

🔆 How can dust attain knowledge of the Lord of lords? Creation cannot rise beyond its own horizon.

🔆 Worship without knowledge is nothing.

🔆 The whole of the human sciences can be summed up in four works: knowledge of God, knowledge of His craftsmanship, knowledge of His will, and knowledge of the ways that lead out of religion.

🔆 Knowledge of oneself, recognition of craftsmanship, and familiarity with God’s craftsmanship are among the most essential keys to knowledge. Knowing is a prerequisite for benefiting from this craftsmanship; it means making others familiar with it, and getting to know others as new works of creation.

🔆 Seeing others as works of divine craftsmanship is the key to benefiting from God’s many creations.

🔆 The Ahl al-Bayt, peace be upon them, are the greatest of God’s creations.

🔆 Knowledge of God, self-knowledge, awareness of one’s duties, and recognition of deviation are sublime keys to knowledge.

🔆 Explore yourself. See what is new in you; discover what is unique about you, what new quality your soul possesses.

🔆 Every person is a new creation of God, a divine invention, a work of divine originality.

🔆 The more devoted the servant, the more intricate the work: God’s intricate craftsmanship is a collection of divine wonders.

🔆 What is the highest form of craftsmanship?!

🔆 What does God will for you? You are God’s “Be, and it is”!

🌸🔆 Knowledge of God’s proofs is the key to knowing God.

🌷🔆عَنْ أَحَدِهِمَا ع أَنَّهُ قَالَ: لَا يَكُونُ الْعَبْدُ مُؤْمِناً حَتَّى يَعْرِفَ اللَّهَ وَ رَسُولَهُ وَ الْأَئِمَّةَ كُلَّهُمْ وَ إِمَامَ زَمَانِهِ وَ يَرُدَّ إِلَيْهِ وَ يُسَلِّمَ لَهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ كَيْفَ يَعْرِفُ الْآخِرَ وَ هُوَ يَجْهَلُ الْأَوَّلَ.[1]

🌷🔆 عَنْ أَبِي حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ لِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ ع إِنَّمَا يَعْبُدُ اللَّهَ مَنْ يَعْرِفُ اللَّهَ فَأَمَّا مَنْ لَا يَعْرِفُ اللَّهَ فَإِنَّمَا يَعْبُدُهُ هَكَذَا ضَلَالًا  قُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ فَمَا مَعْرِفَةُ اللَّهِ‏ قَالَ تَصْدِيقُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ وَ تَصْدِيقُ رَسُولِهِ ص وَ مُوَالاةُ عَلِيٍّ ع وَ الِائْتِمَامُ بِهِ وَ بِأَئِمَّةِ الْهُدَى ع وَ الْبَرَاءَةُ إِلَى اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ مِنْ عَدُوِّهِمْ هَكَذَا يُعْرَفُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ.[2]

🔆 God’s proofs are steps toward knowledge of God.

🔆 Knowledge of God is like a seed that must unfold. For a seed to grow, it must be placed in pure soil and given water, light, and clean air. Knowledge of God flourishes amid the lights and the guardianship of His proofs.

🔆 Those who strive for knowledge of God are travellers on the path to Him.

🔆 Let us understand that we are works of God, among His creations. Since God is the Originator, each of His creations is likewise without equal: unique, a precious jewel. I am a work of God, so I am no insignificant speck; within my soul lies a vast world.

🔆 Let us understand that, since I am a work of God, we must ask how this work is to be set in motion and what it ought to produce.

🔆 Let us understand that I am God’s will, His “Be, and it is.” Who am I, that God should will me into being? And since I am an expression of God’s will, He has also granted me the power to will!

🔆 I will that you be possessed of will and choice!

🔆 Every being, insofar as it is willed by God, exists in the best possible form. But at the stage of willing, the servant can open the way toward the lowest of the low.
