"Your medicine is hidden in you but (alas!)
you do not understand it,
And your sickness is from yourself but
you do not see it.
And you think that you are a small body,
while the greater universe is contained in you.
And you are that speaking book,
from whose letters reveal the hidden secrets."
(Diwan-i Hazrat Ali)
Explanation:
"You can cure
yourself, but, for that, true knowledge is necessary. Because it is
extremely necessary to know that, that sickness, in fact, is not
external but internal. You have understood that you are an ordinary and
small body, due to which your sense of responsibility has become
limited and therefore, you have suffered a great loss.
Contrary to this, if you were sure that there is a universal kingdom
hidden in you, all your potentialities would be actualized and you would
not have suffered this loss. For, unless someone realizes the
importance and benefit, and worth and value of a thing, he does not pay
attention to it, nor does he struggle for its progress and upliftment.
If you had died spiritually before the physical death, you would have
become the speaking book of your deeds, which abounds in the secrets of
recognition (ma'rifat)."

From the above quotation, it is clear that a spiritual kingdom in hidden
in the personal world of each and every human being. As it is not
physically visible, we tend to ignore it. This is contrary to the great
supplication of Pir Hasan Kabirdin (r.a.) in which the Holy Pir prays
for a spiritual kingdom for each and every mu'min. Our goal should be
to transform our status from a murid (a simple follower) to a mu'min (a
faithful and enlightened believer).
