Abstract :

Khawaja Qutbuddin Bakhtiar Kaki is one of the great theosophists of the Chishti way in India. He left 214 ghazals reflecting his fascination and frenzy. All biographers know his practice of way to be abandonment and abstraction. Doom and elimination of appointment from the seeker identity and removal of multiplicities from the outside world are of particular important in his opinion. Aspirant finds his existential appointments in absolute existence by passing consequences in a voluntary amortization and attains doom. From his viewpoint, doom is the doorway of entrance to love court. Love is an eternal pact and gift that flows in all aspects on the public grace basis and is procreator of existence. The aim of present study is to understand, in an analytic-descriptive approach, that what his definition of doom is, by using his complete works. And what steps should pass a seeker in order to attain this status? What are the places of mortification and privacy in his thought? What is his opinion about love, its relation with doom, and its flow in fixed superstructure? And what is his opinion about virtual love?
