94 Law of Success for both the worlds

Ancient Philosophy

1. Mind and soul of human beings are like wells.

Five senses are like five channels, leading towards the well.
When we do not take precautions about what we see, what
we hear, what we say, eat and senses etc. then instead of
17 - Ancient Philosophy 95

clean water, dirty water flows in and pollutes the well. It

chokes the sixth channel at the bottom of well, which leads
to the next world.

2. In order to open the sixth channel, we have to

first stop the flow of dirty water into the well, then empty
out the mud and dirt from it; only then would water from
sixth channel flow into it. If we are able to clean it correctly,
then such a high amount of water will flow through the
sixth channel, that it would overflow and become like a
fountain. Then even dirty water from the five channels
cannot flow in.

3. To communicate with the next world, first we

have to stop the misuse of our five senses and use them
exactly the way God has ordered us to use them.

Protect the eyes from staring at members of the

opposite sex and vulgar scenes. Don't hear vulgar words,
faults and drawbacks of other people. Don't speak vulgar
language, don't abuse, don't lie, don't talk about others'
fault, secrets and drawbacks, etc. Don't eat and drink what
God has prohibited, such as cheated and interest money,
liquor, pork and non-halal mutton. Don't enjoy wrong
sensations, romance and sex with other than your spouse.
If you abstain from these things, your soul-well would stop
receiving dirty water.

The sixth channel is a communicating path with the

divine world. God said,
96 Law of Success for both the worlds

“We gave them the Knowledge”

(Holy Quran, Sure Kahf: 18-65)

It is the same path from where knowledge comes to the

prophets and saints. It is this path from where common
man feels the inspiration to serve mankind and do good to
fellow human beings.

It is the same path which a businessman and

entrepreneur has to explore to get ideas and plans and
ways to succeed in life and accumulate huge wealth. (This
is personal view of Author)

4. To empty it out you have to close your eyes and

try to stop using all your five senses and concentrate on
who you are. This is called meditation. And pray to God,
the way He has asked us to do.

5. Eyes are made for vision, ears for hearing and

tongue for taste. You cannot enjoy food by the ear or music
by your tongue. You will feel pleasure only if you use the
ear for sound, eyes for vision and the tongue for tasting
delicious food.

Similarly God has created human beings (souls of

human being) and Jinns for His worship (Holy Quran,
Chapter 51, Verse 56). As soul is created for God's worship,
the real pleasure of life will be achieved and the soul would
feel peace and pleasure only when it (human being)
performs worship of God. The Ear cannot enjoy food.
Similarly the soul cannot feel peace and pleasure in
materialistic excitements and achievements.
17 - Ancient Philosophy 97

6. We use vehicles to reach a distant place. We use

tools and equipments to achieve difficult tasks. The soul
has a long journey to travel and a tough job to do. The body
is its vehicle as well as its tools and equipments. By these
tools it has to find its purpose in this world and by this
vehicle it has to reach its destination. Once man completes
the task of pleasing God, by right way of living, right
prayer and noble deed, he does not require his tools or the
vehicle. He gets down from it and rests in peace near God
in heaven.

7. God has given this universe under control of

angels. With permission of God they make rain when it is
required; they put soul into the foetus in the womb; they
fertilize the seed and transform it into a plant.

Similarly God has given this body under the control of

the soul. Before eating it starts ‘rain' (salivation), before sex
it starts the 'wind', which excites its organ. Fingers and
limbs move on the soul's order.

8. The soul not only has the power to control own

body, but it also affects its surrounding. When a saint
favourably looks at a sick person, he can heal him. When a
magician sees a person harmfully, he could make him sick.

9. The above philosophies have been taken from a

thousand-year-old book called, Kemya-e-saadat by Imam
Ghazzali.
98 Law of Success for both the worlds

Philosophies of Imam Ghazzali indicate that:

•There is a God-a supreme power.
•There is a system of angels governing this universe.
•There is a soul which has control over our own body
as well as has influence over others.
•There is a communicating link between the soul
and the other world. (The sixth channel)

10. We find a similarity between religious and

scientific teaching.

Religious people believe in God, angels and soul, non-

religious people don't believe in God, angels and soul. But
they do agree that there is a super-power in the Universe
which they call as infinite intelligence. They deny angel,
but agree that nature does the systematic management of
this Universe, they deny existence of soul but agree the
existence of sub-conscious mind and its magical effect on
our own and others' life.

Let us not give importance to this controversy

between science and religion, but concentrate on the
mechanism of success.
