    This document describes different levels or stages of spiritual development: 1) The 6th level (Nafsi Mardiyya) involves developing qualities bestowed by the Creator and manifesting Allah's attributes, seeing true reality through certitude, and serving others with compassion. 2) The 7th level (Nafsi Safiyya) involves finding one's proper place at the center without desires, where all knowledge is contained. Those at this level move with beneficence, speak with wisdom, and appear with beauty. Their entire being is worship. 3) It is difficult to describe those at the highest levels, as their state cannot be put into words and they are always in a state

    6-Nafsi Mardiyya

    At this level is manifested the bond between the Creator and the
    created, with a love common to both. The Creator finds in the per-
    fect man the qualities which He has bestowed on him when He
    created him, as He says,

    "Certainly we created man in the best form. . ."

    His own Beautiful Names, His Attributes which He taught to our


    father Adam, become manifest in the seeker. Thus the perfect
    man who has attained the level where he deserves Allah's pleasure
    has lost all of his physical animal characteristics as well as his im-
    perfect human aspects under the command of his ego. Now Al-
    lah's Divine Attributes are manifest in him, and he sees the Real
    Reality, the Truth, because he is blessed with Ayn al Yaqin, Certi-
    tude. He sees beauty in everything, loves everyone, forgives the
    faults of those who do not know, he is compassionate, generous,
    giving, never asking, serving with all he has to bring others to the
    light of the soul, and to protect them from the dangers of their
    egos and the darkness of their worldliness. All this he does for Al-
    lah's sake and in His name.

    It is difficult to recognize these beings. Their state cannot be de-


    scribed in words. They cannot be compared to concepts one ordi-
    narily knows. One identifiable characteristic particular to them is
    that they are always in a state of perfect balance, like the center of
    a circle, like the fulcrum of a balance: right in the middle, neither
    more nor less, the medium. Allah asks usto, the Prophet (saws)
    advises us to, everyone wishes to, but no one succeeds in achiev-
    ing this goal of balance except these perfect ones.

    7-Nafsi Safiyya

    In the middle of everything, having found the center, the soul


    finds its proper place. It is a point, without length or width, not
    covering any area or space. Thus it is pure. There is no wish, no
    claim. It is the beginning and the end. As it is with the dot under
    the Ba and the dot over the Nun, all knowledge is contained with-
    in it. When the being who possess this pure soul moves, his
    movement is beneficent power; when he talks it is wisdom, and
    music to the ears; when he appears it is beauty and joy to the be-
    holder. His whole being is worship; every cell in his body is in
    continuous praise of his Lord. He is humble. Although he is sin-
    less, he sheds tears of repentance. His joy is to see man reach for
    his Lord; his pain is to see him go astray. He loves the ones who
    serve Allah more than anything. He is angered at the ones who
    revolt. All he wants for mankind is what Allah wants, and he fears
    for the fate of the faithless. He is just, more than just! He is the
    one who will intercede for the sinners.

    Allah knows best. May He guide us to the Straight Path and lead
    us to levels which meet His approval and give us patience, perse-
    verance, strength and wisdom to succeed in the Path. Amin.
