One of the pieces of nonsense he wrote for his disciples and believers was a book called Maktubat [letters], a miscellany of drivel (jung al-muhammilat) in which he had penned the basis of his claptrap that would lead to infidelity and apostasy. One thing he had written in his Maktubat was the following: “During my [spiritual] progress I chanced upon the state of dual lights. I saw it was an extremely lofty and pleasant stage. I passed beyond it and reached the stage of the Faruq [the second Caliph Umar]. From the stage of the Faruq I crossed over to the stage of the Siddiq [the first Caliph Abu Bakr]. Having written a description worthy of each, I became at one with the stage of Mahbubiyyat [the stage of “being the Beloved” traditionally associated with the Prophet]. It was seen as a stage of extremely brilliant light and color. I found myself reflected in the lights and colors, that is—[Jahangir exclaims] God forgive me!—I passed beyond the stage of the caliphs and ascended to the highest level.”
