A quranic version of Advaita.
La illah illa Allah -- No God but Allah.
The meaning of La illaha illallah is simple, it means (La) No (illaha) God (illallah) but Allah.
The meaning of the word Allah is unique unlike English, it is purely singular in the Arabic language and cannot be made female or male despite it being a name which means Allah is free from being HE or SHE. But why scripture uses “he” is another topic up for debate. But La Illaha Illallah means (There is) No god but Allah.
This means there is no God worthy of worship in the universe but the Gid which is hidden by the universe and is the cause of the universe. Allah is God's second to none. Allah is Advaita.
Remember:~
Sufism is nothing but mystic-orated spirituality. Sufism is nothing to do with religion. Sufism is concerned with God in truth. God in truth is Spirit. There is no God in untruth because God is the truth hidden by the unreal universe.
Mysticism has its pragmatic value but mystics fail to stop and ask "what is the ultimate meaning of this bliss which they feel in the mystic experience?" Therefore, an inquiry is needed to realize ‘What is the truth?’ ‘What is untruth?’
The mystic object to introducing inquiry into the quest adopts an attitude as though it were like introducing something which is not sacred. Mysticism blocks the mystic from realizing the truth hidden by the untruth because he has accepted the untruth as the ultimate truth. He is unaware of the ultimate truth, which is Brahman or God.
The ultimate truth or God can be realized only when he realizes the ‘Self’ hidden by the ‘I’. The ‘Self the Spirit’ is God, not the ‘I’. Only those who realize the Spirit as the ‘Self’ are real Sufi.
Meher Baba: ~ “When the reality appears this ignorance which one thinks as reality becomes unreal.
Like an ornament made from gold is Gold, that which is born out of the Spirit (God) is Spirit. Like gold is the permanent thing, in ornaments made of gold, similarly, the universe is born out of the Spirit, is Spirit in its essence.
When Sufiism bifurcated from mysticism then it is possible to realize the God in truth hidden by the veil of ignorance. Mysticism takes God for granted without realizing what God is in actuality. Realization of what God is necessary to become a real Sufi.
Without bifurcating Sufism from mysticism is like beating around the bush without realizing what God is supposed to be in actuality. One has to penetrate deep in Self-search and realize the God hidden by the ‘I’, which is the state of ignorance. The Sufi is the one who has reached the ‘Self is God' state.
People may not ever have heard of Sufism and you may be a Sufi. A Gnani is the one who has realized God in truth. A Gnani is a real Sufi. A Sufi is one who is in awareness of God in the midst of the dualistic illusion. A Sufi is a person who has established awareness of formless, timeless, and spaceless existence, which is the real nature of the Spirit, God in truth.
Lord Krishna was a Sufi, and Jesus Christ is a Sufi, Sage Sankara is Sufi and Bhagavan Buddha too is the Sufi and they never heard and they never knew that anything like Sufism. Meher Baba was Sufi. Meher Baba was on the 7th plane, which is the Self is God's state. In that state, God alone exists all else (universe) is an illusion.
Meher Baba says:~ Unless and until ignorance is removed and Knowledge is gained . . . the Knowledge whereby the Divine Life is experienced and lived . . . everything pertaining to the spiritual seems paradoxical . . . God, whom we do not see, we say is real; and the world, which we do see, we say is false. Inexperience, what exists for us does not really exist; and what does not exist for us, really exists.
Remember:~
Al Hillaj Mansoor was a great Sufi. He was killed by religious fanatics, because he said, Anal Hak- I AM GOD. Sai Baba of Shirdi also used to say, Anal Hak.
When Al Hillaj Mansoor asserted, ‘I am God,’ religious fanatics killed him. Sufism is always killed by fanatic religious believers – because religious fanatics cannot tolerate a man asserting that he is God! They feel offended because how can a man be a God?
Hafiz refers to orthodox believers and fanatics, wherein Hafiz says: "O God, forgive the orthodox and fanatics, for they do not see the Truth."
Meher Baba: ~ We find the people quarreling in the name of religion over their holy books. Is it not like dogs fighting for the bare bones which have no marrow in them?"
How can you believe the belief of God as a separate entity? That implies two ~ the believer and the belief, whereas God in truth is nondual or Advaita. One can worship his idea of God only or realize his unity with God when he can’t worship God as apart.
God is in the form of the Spirit, and God is indeed Spirit itself” then why accept another God in place of the Spirit or believe other than the Spirit.
God is the Supreme Being the One eternal homogeneous essence, indivisible consciousness and intelligence, which is hidden by the illusory form, time, and space. To which the Sages of truth describe in a variety of ways through diverse words.
When Al Hillaj Mansoor says, Anal Hak - ‘I AM GOD. Anal Hak or I AM GOD is the state of God in Sufism. Only a person who has realized what God is supposed to be in actuality reaches the State of Anal Hak or the State of God.
Third Mundaka Upanishad - Chapter 2 (9) - He who realized the Supreme Brahman (God) verily becomes Brahman or God in truth.
God cannot be attained by one who is without strength or earnestness but if one strives with sincerity and seriousness then the dualistic illusion (universe) transcends into the nondualistic reality, which is God in truth.
A Sufi is the one who realized God in truth. God shines brightly and in which the universe rests. The Sufi is free from ignorance. The Sufi transcends the illusory form, time, and space and is established in the formless, timeless, and spaceless existence. The nature of God is formless, timeless, and spaceless existence.
It is very difficult to recognize who is a real Sufi because he bears no external mark. Neither nudity nor the religious symbol has anything to do with him. Anyone who follows Sufism does not become a Sufi unless he has realized God in truth.
A Sufi, on attaining realization, will not give up his vocation in life but will continue it as before. If he was a billionaire then he continues so, if a peasant, he will remain one. He still does his duty, but he is fully aware of the fact that his practical life within the practical world is merely an illusion.:~Santthosh Kumaar
