U-7 Utilization of the Thoughts of Chishti Sufis in Monastic System

Abstract

The ancient path of Chishti Sufi as it is known in the Indo-Pak, is the inward dimension of Islam, essentially Islamic mysticism. Chishti order practitioners seek to find the truth of divine love and knowledge through direct personal experience of the Beloved. The teaching of Chishti order is the way to God via spirituality rather than through reason, and it celebrates the intimate relationship of the seeker with Allah. The Chishti order teachings and practices of the Sufis have great relevance for seekers today, and can help you to deepen your spiritual practice . The Chishti Sufis say that the reason of the whole creation is that the perfect Being wished to know Himself, and did so by awakening the love of His nature and creating out of it His object of love. The Chishti Sufi responds with loving-kindness and harmony towards those who harm them, for they see everything in themselves and themselves in everything, and because of this it is said that the highest form of human love is ‘God love’. The Chishti Sufi traditions have a well-developed philosophical psychology, which includes dream interpretation. Chishti Sufi’s stand above all of us in their deeds and actions. Chishtisufis spent their whole life span in loving almighty and sharing their love with us.For restoring peace,harmony,love and brotherhood across the universe and religions, we all must follow Chishti Sufi ways unquestionably.
