with all due respect to shaykh db and you db...
i would consider the activation of latifa with the blessed name of Allah (s.w.t) as a blessing, as i assume it will remove my ghaflat and help me in obeying the commandments of shairah. (i dont know much in depth about what happens after activation... but just thinking that we will always be in rememberance of Allah (s.w.t) involuntarily).... This is what i assume as khalwat dar anjuman..

Excuse my ignorance..

Lets hear What Hazrat Maulana Jalaluddin Rumi sahab

has to say..

Ma'arif Mathnavi by Airf Billah Hazrat Maulana Hakeem Muhammed Akhtar sahab damathu barakatuhum. Translated by Maulana Yousuf karan sahab of Cape Town.

The Romans and Chinese In decorating
Once some chinese told a king : "we are very well known for our ability to decorate and adorn buildings". then some Romans said : " we are able to produce more splendid decorations and adornments". thereupon the king said: "All right, we shall test your abilities to see who is best".

"The Romans and the Chinese came before the king,
While the Romans were noted for being more knowledgeable"

Then the Chinese told the king: "Give us a house so that we may decorate it. let the house be hidden behind a curtain so that these Romans cannot copy or imitate our decorations". According to these conditions they started decorating the house in their own excellent manner.

Then the Romans said: "we shall prepare a decorated house of our own, just opposite the spot where the Chinese shall work, so that you may easily ascertain by comparing the two houses, as to whose work is better"

The Romans also started working behind a curtain in a secret way. however, they did not make any decorated paintings. They merely started cleaning and polishing the wall of the house untill in the end the wall of the house started shining like a mirror.

Then came the time of the test. the curtains were removed and the result was that the beautiful paintings and pictures in the house of the Chinese became reflected on the wall of the Romans so that their art appeared more beautiful. the King came along.

"He saw the decorations made by the chinese.
so beautiful were they that they drove the mind away.
Thereafter the King inspected the Roman's decorations
And was astonished at what he saw.
whatever the king saw on the other side, here appeared more beautiful.
so that through the efforts of decorating, the eyes were popping out of their sockets".

Maulana Rumi (rah) compared the work of the Romans to that done by the Saintly ones because these Saintly ones place great emphasis upon cleansing the heart and through the blessings of that , without studying books and revision, they become decorated with beautiful character.

"However, the saintly ones cleanse and polish their hearts profusely
whereby greed, stinginess and enimity is removed from it.

One Saint says :
Our law is to keep the heart like a mirror, clean and free of dust.
And our way is this, that to retain malice therein, is a major crime"

Lesson:

It was always the way of our elders to pay much attention to "Takhliyah" - to keep the heart free of the love of anyone other than Allah.
Thereafter it becomes easier to reform and rectify bad characteristics in one's self. This they placed before the acquisition of good characteristics.
Hence , they first inculcated the making of Zikr and by lighting the fire of Divine love, they caused all other entities to become burnt from the heart.

Thereafter it became easier to act upon every command of Allah and to discard all sinful activities. This is the easy and quick way to success."

END

Bro hiso remember that lataif can also be activated by any biddati.. and even eating unlawful / indulging in haram at times has shown no effect on them.. my dear bro london has also posted somewhere in this regard..

The first step is dusting away the heart.. Tasfiya which is achieved by constant Zikr of Allah

.. and putting the bridle of shariah on that galloping horse of Nafs..ie,Tazkiya along with the Sohbah of a Muttabi e Sunnat Shaikh .. u shall fly to great heights

Sab tamannayen Dil se Rukhsat hogayi
Abh to aaja abh to khilwat hogayi..

- Hazrat Khwaja Azeezul Hasan Majzoob
