A very interesting read, specifically this Until the mustajībs are delivered from confused thoughts and their whims vanish, it is not permissible for them to intend to attend [the majlis or higher wisdom session of] the da‘wat. Looking forward to more posts.
Thank you for your thoughts and reaction to the post. Indeed, the write up is quite short and is meant only as a brief introduction to encourage the process of self reflection and enquiry into one's own condition or level of satisfaction regarding ʿilm and maʿrifa.
People often feel it when they are confused or dissatisfied with their level of gnosis. If not now, then perhaps later.
In Ḥakīm Naṣīr-i Khusraw's time, where there was an apparent or external ḥudūd-i dīn structure and official Daʿwa hierarchy, there would also be official Majalis al-Ḥikmah or Sessions of Wisdom that mustajībs would attend. But one would first have to be sincere in recognizing that the knowledge and teaching they were accepting until that time did not do much to bring them the true happiness of soul and intellect that aught to be felt when one is advancing on the Straight Path.
Today, there may not be a formal, operative Ḥudūd-i Dīn Daʿwa, but that is only because what we have been given access to, in this 7th cycle or the Era of Unveiling (Dawr-i Kashf) is even greater and more beneficial for the seekers of truth and wisdom.
Khayal Aly: Thanks for your feedback. Hope, it’s enlightening for the today’s seekers of Truth/Reality when Nasir Khushraw’s guidance and wisdom is unfolded. The sufis and the enlightened persons followed different paths for practice to realize the Supreme and Ultimate and they guided their disciples through the practices of their tariqa.
In my humble opinion, as Nasir Khushraw warns that the seekers must be cautious of confused and misleading thoughts, then they need some guide available to help them to winnow grain from the chaff.
Please, guide your readers through your upcoming article on Nasir Khushraw on the questions raised in his gnosis.
The information is not full. It's only a small piece from Nasir's great book "Wajhi Din". Thus can appear obscure. But the book's esoteric narrative, I would say, is still pertinent today. In fact, I remember reading MSMS words regarding Nasir Khusraw's teachings, where he basically stated that his intellectual heritage will remain steadfast.

Thank you for sharing knowledge with us. It is a very important aspect of Ismaili tradition.
Q Again the seeker himself/herself has to decide if his thoughts are confused and what he thinks is misguided?
where
Where/ what is that higher wisdom session of the da’wat, the mustajib can not attend.
Nasir Khusrsw’s advice the way it has been projected, is not helping and needs to be compatible with today’s tariqat, and what is being practiced.
I believe this write up is too small and unclear when looking at the very vast domain of spirituality.
Hope, this will be elaborated.

Inshallah, more to come.
