:: Candle Postings :: Motivational Gems for Higher Spiritual Enlightenment :: :: Volume 1 ::
A physical lighted candle emits heat, fragrance and light. I would like to present three concepts to my audience as to how I see these properties in a spiritual sense. In the purification of metals, heat is used. In the spirit world, I am using this property as a mechanism to dissolve all impurities within one's soul. Fragrance is a very powerful mechanism to purify the soul. If a person experiences fragrances during Dua, Dhikr, tasbi or bandagi, then he/she should feel very happy because angels are purifying his/her personal world. This is a great sign of advancement of the soul. Finally, the light of the candle symbolizes the light of our Holy Imam which arises in the forehead a staunch, obedient, devoted murid. This is the actualization of a Golden Noorani Didar which has been promised to all who make an effort to advance in the Spirit World.

Candle Postings:
This project is called ' Candle Postings' because I would like to bring the concept of a burning candle as a symbol of our continuous quest for higher spiritual enlightenment. In his Irshad on July 11, 2007 and his firman of December 13, 2008, Noor Mowlana Hazir Imam has put the onus on us to search for higher spiritual enlightenment under his supervision and then use this spiritual enlightenment as a continuous internal guide in our daily lives. This calling from our beloved Holy Imam needs tremendous effort. Therefore, I have made a very humble niyat to send motivational gems for higher spiritual enlightenment in the form of candle postings. The postings are also being archived so that you may be able to read them in a sequence over time. Each posting also has hyperlinks so that you can follow up on a point of your interest.
