Whatever
is gained in the third period, its reality becomes apparent in this
period. These saints are called philosophers. Except for serving
humanity, that is preaching and correcting morals of people, they
do nothing.
USEFULNESS
AND BENEFIT OF PRESENT DAY SPIRITUAL JOURNEY AND KNOWLEDGE AND WISDOM
There
is no doubt at all that "Wisdom" is the virtuous and most
exalted knowledge. The reality of things is gleaned through it:
unfathomable secrets are known through it; right kind of intellect
and perfect insight is born; souls become visible; one sees the
Holy Prophet and exalted souls; the excursion to Alam-i-Misal and
viewing of rays and illuminations take place; the power of knowledge
and miracles is attained; control over matter is gained and over
and above this, man gets the approach and proximity to exalted messengers
and the Holy Prophet. But in my opinion even after attaining all
these if any ARIF does not do anything positive for the welfare
of the collective prosperity and well-being of Muslims he is useless
for the Millat though having everything for himself.
The
Millat does not need such saints who through charms and amulets
get a few sick person cured and make him healthy or a few poor persons
become rich through their prayers or some win their cases or some
childless persons beget children and a few non-believers accept
Islam and add to the useless strength and number of worthless people
in the MIl lat. Nowadays we need such saints who can turn the most
sinful and impious Muslim into true Muslim and a true Muslim, a
pucca Mo min and believer in Oneness of Allah and through teachings
and reflections can create such spirit of sagacity and produce which
may demolish all their differences and dispute and wield them together
as one soul and one body. They may differentiate between right and
wrong and may learn to work and work continuously after giving up
idleness and laziness. They should be full of love of Allah and
Holy Prophet and should always be prepared to sacrifice their life
and wealth for the revival of Islam and keep to Allah an Allah alone
after shunning everything of the world. |
