As a result, the brain (mind) is brighten and the acumen ship is developed in a given field of education. The person learns a particular skills and / or knowledge.Through regular efforts and strives, a person can achieve perfection and excellence in a particular field, gain skills, expertise and have proficiency in the field of his interest.

Islamic System of Spiritual Education - Work on Qalb (Heart) and Soul
With similar analogy, Islam has its own system of spiritual education. In this system, one has to work on his Qalb (Heart) and soul. And when such consistent and continuous efforts are done on the Qalb and Soul as per the principles (fundamentals), rules and disciplines of Islamic spiritual experts, then the abilities, capabilities and potentials of the Qalb and soul could be awaken, alerted and activated.A person whose Qalb and soul is awakened and alerted through spiritual education is called as the spiritual person. The fruits and benefits (advantages) of spiritual education are unlimited. These bounties are received and experienced in this world as well as in hereafter.
Today's Fact - Unsuccessful Attempt of Gaining Peace and Satisfaction
Globally, everyone, individuals as well as groups (races, cultures) are suffering from some sort of uneasiness, restlessness, and absence of peace and satisfaction due to the lack of spiritual education and understanding. Due to this reason, everyone is attempting unsuccessfully to gain the peace and satisfaction through accumulation of power and mortal things of this world. They are deeply preoccupied in these activities such as cheating and manipulating each other, suffering from jealousy, causing harm to each other to gain personal benefits / upper hand, and are engaged in all sorts of evil activities to gain power and superiority over one another as well as exploitation and extort ions. This is the reason why inspite of the availability of all means and possessions of comfort and luxuries they cannot get real peace and satisfaction. These people believe that they can gain satisfaction and peace through the mortal things of this world, and gaining power and superiority over each other. Hence, there is always a greed and temptations of accumulating more and more of these means of comfort and luxury. This greed is never ending. To accumulate more and more number of these things and to gain power, supremacy, people are always occupied in all sorts of evil activities. Additionally, all the things of this world are mortal and will vanish sooner or later. However, since in this world these things are the means (medium) of luxury and comfort to us, we fall in love with them and develop an attachment to these things. We tend to be highly possessive of these things so much that even a thought of loosing them scares us. But when these mortal things are lost and vanished then one suffers and experience some sort of agony, sorrow and grief. Thus the temporary illussionary happiness achieved through mortal things is also temporary and not ever lasting.Spiritual Education - An Excellent Medium of Gaining Eternal Peace and Satisfaction
Spiritual education is an ideal and excellent means (medium, resource) of gaining religious, worldly and eternal benefits, bounties and victories. In this spiritual education, the individual's nexus (relation and intimacy) is secured and established with his Creator and The Lord, who is the Most Merciful and loves His slaves (human beings) more than anyone else and is Eternal. The love of our Most beneficent Lord towards us is more than that of the love of 70 mothers combined together. In this world when the individual secures such an intimacy with his Lord, then he gains real peace and satisfaction, because the factual (real) thing in the human being is the soul, and the soul is a creation of Allah (SWT) and when this soul surrenders to it's center then the individual gains real and everlasting peace and satisfaction. The individual no longer has to worry about lost of his peace and satisfaction because now he is attached to The Eternal Lord. He does not have to do evil things anymore to gain peace and satisfaction. His peace and satisfaction will be dependent on 'his own' efforts in spirituality and how strongly and sincerely he develops his intimacy to his Lord, and surrenders before Him and hence, there won't be any competition with others.In the spiritual education, the person is gifted with the journey (glimpses) of the Universe (Qayanat) of Allah (SWT) which includes, 'the physical present Universe'(A-lam-e-Nasoot), 'the world of Angles'(A-lam-e-Malakoot) and 'the magnificence omnipotent heaven'(A-lam-e-Jabroot). Those who are well accomplished (perfect / learned) in spiritual education, receives the gifts and blessings of their efforts.
Through the spiritual education, human beings are purified from the bad habits. They are equipped with Divine and Angle's attributes, qualities and characters. Because of this, even after the end of their worldly life these people's work and deeds as well as their manners, etiquette and politeness is well remembered by everyone . You can notice reference to them in various publications, etc. They are also gifted with all sorts of bounties in hereafter. The fruits and benefits of spiritual education are unlimited. However, our ancestors used this power / ability, beyond this narrow boundaries of the physical universe and mankind i.e. to gain the love and closeness to The Creator of this world, Allah (SWT). They always had one and the only one objective, that was the love of Allah (SWT) and to gain His approval.
Spiritual Education Provided through Silsila Shahiya Asrariya
The spiritual education given in our spiritual chain i.e. Silsila doesn't ignore the duties and commitments towards the person's dependents. Infact, simultaneously while fulfilling all the obligations and duties toward one's family and dependents, the spiritual education removes the love of all the mortal things of this world. People are encouraged to spent some time regularly, to work towards gaining the love and closeness of Allah (SWT).One has to follow the principles and teachings of the 'Murshid'. And then all the worldly duties and obligations are to be performed and fulfilled as per the directions of Allah (SWT). Free from selfishness and slavery of the nafs, all the duties must be performed with the objective of gaining the approval of Allah (SWT). Our ancestors had been closely associated and educated with few very well known and superior spiritual chains (Silsila), for example,
Silsila Alia Majdidiya which is associated with Hazrath Imam Rabbani Mujaddid-Alf-Sani Shiakh Ahamed Sirhindi (RH) and Silsila Alia Chistiya which is associated with Khawaja Moinnuddin Chistii Ajmeri (RH) and Silsila Alia Naqshbandia which is associated with Khawaja Bhauddin Mohamed Naqshbandi (RH) and Silsila Alia Shaazliya which is associated with Shaikh Albul Hasan Shaazli (RH). All these spiritual nobles great are very well known personalities of the Islamic world.
In our Silsila, spiritual education begins from Qalb (heart). Shaikh Kamil then gives his attention and Nisbat, and provides spiritual development through it and according to this education, the person is asked to do Muraqaba (meditation). After this preliminary education of ten ingredients, the person then goes through the various stages of spiritual development. In this process, Shaikh Kamil's guidance is needed at each step. In this journey, there are several circles and in each circle, there is a special education. In this path, the most important thing is to have regular contact with the Shaikh and to be in his company as far as possible. The more one remains in the company of Shaikh, the more he receives the benefits of peace and tranquility.
