You just need to understand one small point.
A tiny one.
If you understand this, it will solve a lot of your problems.
This realm which we are living in, this world,
God has declared it the ‘Aalam ul Asbab’...
This World is the Realm of Reason
The word ‘asbab’ comes from the word ‘sabab’.
Sabab means reason.
Therefore, Aalam ul Asbab means the Realm of Reason.
Here, you need to find a reason for everything.
For example, if a man wants to have children,
what will he do?
He will get married and engage in marital relations with his wife through which a child will be born.
That’s the method.
And these teachings that I am rendering to you here,
you will not find it anywhere else.
You will weep for it [later] so listen carefully.
This is one thing that great intellectuals and scientists fail to understand.
When God said that Jesus is God’s son,
people assumed Jesus was the son of God in the same way that humans produce children.
Now, when Gabriel appeared before Mother Mary and announced she will have a son, she was perplexed.
She said, ‘But no man has ever touched me’.
Because this is what the human intellect understands:
a man has to sleep with a woman to impregnate her. She cannot become pregnant otherwise.
This is the human thought process because we live in the Realm of Reason.
However, God does not reside in the Realm of Reason.
God only has to say 'be' and it becomes.
This is what boggles the human intellect:
how can a woman become pregnant without a man?
Human beings cannot grasp this. Why is that?
Because their tuning is in accordance with the Realm of Reason
[so they understand that] there must be a reason for everything.
However, this tuning applies to this realm alone.
It cannot be applied there [in the higher realms].
Now, they say that you must pray to God directly, there is no need for a spiritual guide.
I frequently say that such people are ignorant and foolish.
Why do I say they are ignorant?
Because those who don’t even have the basic knowledge
that this world is the Realm of Reason.
Look, if you do not want to believe in something,
nobody can force you.
Then, it’s just your stubbornness, to refuse to believe.
Suit yourself. If you don’t want to believe it, that’s entirely up to you.
However, if you’ve come here with a clean heart and mind then you will understand what I’m saying easily.
Such great scholars have come, like Maulana Maududi.
He was a famous scholar but there comes a point where the greatest of minds fail.
Similarly, Dr Israr Ahmed was a notable scholar but there comes a point where one falters.
He too lost his way when he failed to understand.
Although he was a doctor by profession and his heart was full of compassion for the Muslim nation.
He made great efforts and spoke the truth in his own way.
However, he lacked the supervision of a spiritual guide,
therefore, he was unable to understand the fundamental points regarding the gnosis of God and the Qur’an and the religion.
What are those fundamental points he should have understood?
I ask the great intellectuals that this world is the Ream of Reason,
there is a reason for everything here,
and this is why one of God's many titles is ‘Musabib ul Asbab’.
What does ‘musabib’ mean? The one who creates ‘sabab (reason)’.
Creator of Reason.
So when this world is the Realm of Reason,
and nothing can happen without a reason,
then why do you say, 'ask God directly'?
There has to be a reason for that, too, right?
These are the fundamental points that Wahhabis and Deobandis do not understand.
These educated ignorant people.
Just answer this question: if this world is the Realm of Reason,
and we are to ask God directly, then why doesn't God send you a child directly?
If you are to ask God directly, why didn’t God descend the Qur’an unto you directly?
Why did he send prophets?
Forget the saints, you begrudge them.
Tell me why did God bother sending prophets if you were to deal with God directly?
[But] they don’t understand this. They only know how to make noise.
This world is the Realm of Reason.
So what does that mean?
It means that when Adam is sent into this world,
he has to follow the same rule.
When Abraham is sent into this world,
he has to follow the same rule.
When Jesus is sent, he has to follow the same rule.
When Prophet Muhammad (s) comes, he also has to follow the same rule.
They need to create reason in this world because reason is necessary.
Nothing will happen without reason, no matter who is trying to do it.
[This world] is the Ream of Reason.
There has to be a reason for everything here.
To have a child, you need a wife.
To earn provisions, you need to work.
When you are ill, who heals you? ‘God does’, [they say].
And the reason you’re healed is medicine.
So don’t take the medicine, just ask God to heal you,
since God is going to heal you directly.
So why do you take medicine?
Because medicine is the reason.
You just need to understand one small point.
Who are we obtaining spiritual benevolence from? From HDE Gohar Shahi.
However, I am the reason. That’s why you’re sitting here.
If you don’t have this reason, where will you go?
Who will tend to you?
Reason is necessary, isn’t it?
And it is God who creates the reason,
and this is why he said: ‘and those I wish not to guide shall be deprived of finding a spiritual guide’.
This in other words means: those I wish to misguide shall not be given a reason to find guidance.
You pour water into a glass and drink it, right?
Without a glass, you’d hold the water in your hands.
But if you’re told to drink water without any means then how will you do it?
That’s why reason is important. This is what is hard to understand.
I too struggled with it.
I only understood when HDE explained it to me.
If you verbally claim to love HDE Gohar Shahi and you don’t have a means, a reason to actually obtain Their love,
then all you’ll be capable of doing is raising a few slogans and then become misguided.
Ishq is not obtained through verbal claims,
neither is spiritual infusion conducted in this manner nor do you attain Their love or become a Fana fi Sheikh this way.
You think you can put on a song or qawwali and dance fervently and that makes you an Aashiq.
Reason.
Even for HDE Gohar Shahi’s love, you need to find a reason [in order to obtain it]. You will have to search for the teachings and the path.
If you don’t find the path…
