Establish a direct relationship with GOD to succeed in life

We need to strengthen our relationship

By Afzal OthiPublished 12 months ago 12 min read

The word God is not God, it is the concept of God and something else, and the perception of God's essence is something different from that. Among the good habits of man and his permissible actions, the best thing is worship. It is a good habit to worship, but it is not necessary that you can reach the place through it where you desire to reach, for which your soul keeps yearning. We who came from the province very tired, after working hard and eating our way, had this desire to return to our homeland and the camps in our homeland where there are wise people and there is spirituality and monasticism, like smoking cannabis etc., wearing church clothes, working there, but this is not what is usually done there, there will be a life of luxury and luxury, so we also paid attention to this so that at least after living a complicated life with so many difficulties, such an environment should be available so that people can live in peace. But when the ladies and gentlemen reached there, they found out that it was a life full of hardship and struggle and Efforts and struggles are not in any other place because worshipping and talking about religion is a very easy task, but getting into it and adopting it practically is a very difficult task. That is, Sufism is not separate from Sharia. It is the same as prayer and fasting. Only along with knowledge, action is also given emphasis, and we were not used to doing this. And the subject we were talking about, Baba Noor Wala, had his own style and what he used to say was different, which we do not find in books and in bookish birds.

And the people close to him are very difficult. This is an internal matter, but today I will express it because his son himself complained to me that look, Baba Ji is so kind to people, he is so kind to people. He also gives them their things, he also gives them rice, he also makes them food, but he is not at all kind to me. When I ask him for something, he controls it and imposes conditions on it. They don't give me as much as I need or as much as I need, so their words had a big impact on my heart. I said, "This shouldn't be like this. They are right. They are living in a bit of a tight spot. Maybe they are training. Maybe the training they are undergoing is a bit harsh." I asked them. I was a little embarrassed. I could have talked to them. I said, "Look, Babaji, these sons are complaining and you are not giving them the things they should get. They should get what they deserve." She said, "I don't do this intentionally." I want them to stop getting used to helping people, wanting people, and relying on people. They should ask God directly because the more a person depends on another person, the further they will get away from God. Because he is my son, I want them to be strict with him.

Well, I conveyed that to them, but some were not satisfied with it, but there were also those who had direct knowledge of Allah and they believed that Allah exists and is completely involved in their affairs and is in control and that He does whatever He says and goes with it as He wills. They were very fortunate people. I remember there was an Ashraf who used to bring a lorry. Ashraf was very fond of flying kites. The young man used to tie a beautiful shawl, made of silk, and carry a garland on his shoulder. When Basant approached, his demand for it increased. I asked him why he loved kites so much. He said, "If you ever see a kite flying and you are attracted to it, you cannot leave it. It has a kind of telecommunication inside it, a wire. There must be a message from here. Those who are great kite flyers get messages." So I said, "You come here too, you sit at the camp, you also talk about Baba Ji." You listen and serve the people and you also believe in the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) and you believe in him better than us. How is this? He said, "All this that I get, is it not? It is what I get by flying my kite?" I said, "What is this secret?" He said, "When the kite flies far away and becomes stuck?" He used to use the word "tiki" to mean that it sticks, sticks, sticks in one place and disappears from sight. I do not see it, not only I do not see it, but no one sees it. And I only have its string in my hand. So the pull of this invisible one in my hand has brought me closer to Allah because the pull of Allah on my heart is like the string of this kite on my hand. Now see, did we who read big books, learned a lot of knowledge, listened to big cassettes, and argued and debated about the guardianship with permissible arguments, come to them with nothing, and the one who was our kite-flyer was his and he was his. He feels the pressure of the kite resting on the ground. He says, "Afzal Sahib, you never get pulled by Allah." I said, "No, not like you are saying." He said, "This is what makes a person's heart like this." I said, "No, Ashraf, this is not in our destiny."

We had a gentleman there, Haji Sahib Blue Eye, I remember his name, his eyes were very beautiful. He stayed there and got some education. Then one day he said, "I want to go back to my village of Rahim Yar Khan. I will preach to some people there and tell them what I have learned here. Give me permission." He said, "It is okay, you can go. But my wish was that you would stay here for a while longer and we would be happy. You are our dear friend. We also wanted Haji Sahib to stay for a while. But he was in Egypt. I will go." Baba Ji insisted that until your connection with Allah is complete, you will not be able to communicate with Him on the Green Line. Until then, your worship or your experience of truth will be like this. I heard it. Haji Sahib said, "Yes, I will go there and Insha Allah, I will explain everything you say." He said, "Okay." When they started to leave, they were a little sad that Haji Sahib was leaving. They called Babaji and said, "You will go to your city Rahim Yar Khan, how far is your village?" He said, "My chak is about five or six miles from there." He said, "People there keep a lot of sheep and goats." He said, "Yes, yes, there will be a lot of sheep there." He said, "When you enter your village, you will cross a flock of sheep. Somewhere or the other, four of them will be grazing." He said, "Yes, yes, they will be." He said, "When you reach the flock of sheep, there are also dogs in this flock. They are kept for guarding and protection." He said, "Yes, yes, they will be." He said, "When you have been living here for so long, you will not know how you will cross these dogs." He said, "Yes, if any dog ​​tries to attack me, I will pick up a stone." Babaji said, "They will be four dogs and you will throw a stone at one of them. It is okay, he may get injured, three." They will catch you. Haji Sahib got a little worried and said, "Yes, I will do something like this. I will break a stick from there.

If all four of them follow me, I will walk around in the afternoon. Then I will save my pride and do something." He said, "I am telling you that one dog will get hit. Two will get hit. If you cross, how will it be difficult for you? Even if you cross while rolling sticks, Haji Sahib, you are right. Haji Sahib got into a thought. We also got into a thought that it is very difficult to cross them. Haji Sahib was wiser than us and was also older. So he said, "Sir, we will tell you what should be done in such a situation and on such an occasion." Baba Ji said, "Sir, the method is that without disturbing them or showing them your pride, first you call the shepherd. He will come out of the Jogi after hearing your voice. You will tell him, 'I want to cross here.' He will call the dogs and they will sit down. They will pass. Whenever there is a difficult time, give voice to the gutter. Never try to pass through the difficult point of life by suggesting the path to your caretaker by making your efforts. At that time, call your shepherd. Then Haji Sahib understood what I was talking about. He said, "I am the shepherd now. I am not able to give my full voice to the shepherd now. I will stay with you now and I will learn how to give him a voice."

So ladies and gentlemen, there were some people who you call Mr. Hal, who have personal experience and personal observation, and they are so lucky, who have gone through so many hardships, that they hand over every task to him, they do it in his name, they name him. We, the educated people who were or are, we carry our suggestions with us, and when it is very difficult, we carry many suggestions with us. Look at the systems and governments around the world, they keep trying, and all their members are crooked and twisted, and there is no shortage of everything that mankind needs. It has been a few days since I was ironing my vest. My vest is made of cotton, the seams fall off. I can't find a hand-stitched vest, it has to be sewn. So I wanted to iron it and wear it again, so I was happily ironing it. I had just started when the telephone rang. When the phone rang, I had to listen to the phone. It took me a while. I left it like that. After talking, I picked up the iron. Now I started ironing again, but the iron had no effect on it. In my anxiety, I saw what had happened. I hadn't even unplugged it. As long as the plug wasn't in contact, nothing would happen. My phone was like this. It was completely full. It was made of silk. It wasn't at all. The only problem was that the connection wasn't made. The plug wasn't made. So those slots remained as they were. You must have seen it in your own life. When the connection isn't made, the slots of life don't come out. And to install it, it's important that the plug is connected directly in some way or the other. Just like you attach the wires to the hooks, that's also a very crooked thing. But if the plug is connected correctly, people take advantage of it.

I saw a sailor from France, especially in the South, pray a very short prayer before going out to sea. That prayer is, "Oh God, your sea is very big and my boat is very small." It is a simple prayer, but there is so much confession and such closeness to God and such contact that when the people of South France start going out, they go out with the conviction that this is truly the sea of ​​God and He is its owner. My boat is really small, it cannot bear the load as much as it should. We had knowledgeable people. We had knowledgeable people who understood the matter and had many people who had this feeling. And I still remember another incident. One of the knowledgeable people was a friend of mine, Sultan Rahi. His name was Sultan Rahi. You must have seen his films. Although I was related to radio and television, our relationship with films was not the same. In another respect, we knew each other and our contact was secret in its own way. There is no need to highlight it. One day I got a message from him on TV that you should come to a small gathering, your participation in it is very important and you will like it. I said, "Inshallah." We have an area in Lahore, Basant Road, Nisbat Road, where Dayal Singh College is located. There are small streets behind it where good people live. They had arranged a very nice sitting room and a latticed door.

If you clean it and light the lights, Sultan Rahi had arranged it. You probably know Sultan Rahi, don't you? He was very fond of singing and he had his own style. He had his own accent. Sometimes when a function started, people would ask him to sing for you. He would do it. But there was another aspect of him, which was his association with Qirat. Few people knew him. So we were sitting there. There was another man with him. He was a villager. He had a dhoti tied around his shoulder. He was a simple man. He was not as impressive as he should have been. So he said, "I am a simple man." Meet him, this is brother Rafiq. Brother Rafiq was also in this gathering. We were 10, 11, 15 people. We sat down leaning against the wall. Sultan Rahi said, "I want to tell you my good recitation." We said, "In the name of Allah, you must tell me." He said, "I will recite Surah Muzammil." He said, "Subhan Allah." What else was needed? Sultan Rahi started reciting Surah Muzammil in his own style, in his own tone, and in his own voice. It was very high-quality and the people liked it very much. He kept reciting. We kept listening, leaning against the wall. When he finished, everyone wished that he could recite it again. But he stopped. Then he looked at Bai Rafiq and said, "Yes, you can do it too." We had no idea that such a simple person would speak. Outside, Rafiq said, "Yes, I also wanted to recite Surah Muzammil." But since he had recited it, we said, "No, no, you can recite it to us as well." What's wrong with that? So, fulfill your desire. We are making this wish. They were about to start again and said, "In the name of Allah." They sat down, and in their usual manner, the ladies and gentlemen took their cases off their shoulders and placed them on their laps. They sat down with their elbows on top of them and began reciting Surah Muzammil.

You must have listened to countless cassettes, you must have heard countless works. What he narrated had its own style. As he continued to narrate, all of us who were sitting felt that another time in history had dawned in this meeting. This was not the time in which we were living. We felt as if we were in the life of Medina in the first century and this was another era and this was the same time and we were among those lucky people who were listening to the voice of this era from the mouth of a human being. This was an experience for everyone. It was a strange and unique experience. We felt as if there was a strange kind of light in this room and the meeting. It may have been our imagination, but its quality was such that it cast a spell over everyone. Then it ended. We did not express our gratitude verbally because we were all so absorbed that we could not speak. However, it was clearly clear in our eyes, in the bowed heads and from our condition that this was the condition that had passed. This was something else, so I tried and mustered up the courage and said, Rahi Sahib, we are very grateful to you. You first recited Surah Muzammil, then you brought your friend and introduced him and recited the Quran. This situation had never happened to us before. We could not understand. So Rahi Sultan Rahi Sahib said, "Brother, the thing is that this person knows Surah Muzammil. I know Surah Muzammil and I know it very well. But this person knows the Muzammil, so that made a big difference."

So when you know and begin to know your destiny, by luck or by a connection with Allah like hers, then that state is of a different kind and I assure you that this state is different and will last a lifetime. Whenever I expressed my fortune, I still say that I have seen people whose fortune was stable and stable. They apparently talk about fortune, but the message inside is something else. I am grateful to you.
