First and foremost, it’s your ethereal facets that must recite the Qur’an, then when your tongue recites it, it’ll be mirroring [the ethereal recitation]
If the tongue alone recites the Qur'an, without the ethereal recitation, then it is deception.
The Difference Between Apparent & Ethereal Worship
Our worship, our recitation of the Qur'an, etc. in this world is a reflection
A reflection of what? If we are to recite the Qur’an ethereally, that would be the actual recitation.
When we verbally recite the Qur'an, it is the reflection [of the original ethereal recitation].
How is a reflection cast? Something/someone has to be in front of the mirror for there to be a reflection.
If there is no one in front of the mirror, there will be no reflection.
That is easy to understand.
When you stepped away from the mirror, your reflection also vanished.
However, you fall prey to deception when it comes to the same concept applies to the apparent and ethereal.
First and foremost, it’s your ethereal facets that must recite the Qur’an, then when your tongue recites it, it’ll be mirroring [the ethereal recitation].
If the tongue alone recites the Qur'an, without the ethereal recitation, then it is deception.
This is why the Prophet (s) stated, 'The spiritual heart must affirm what is declared by the tongue'.
The spiritual dignitaries do not even consider verbal recitation and zikr [as worship].
[If they see this] they say, 'What are you doing? This is no recitation'.
It would be considered recitation when either your ethereal entities recites [the Qur'an] in the ethereal realm or they stay within your bosom and recite there.
It would only be considered recitation of the Qur'an
when the tongue recites along with the heart, 'Qul hu Allahu ahad...'
Then the heart will pick up speed...
Right now, the heart can only say 'Allah Hoo', but a day shall come when the heart shall recite the entire Kalima in five beats.
It shall recite the Kalima in five beats and then it will get into a rhythm.
And then, it will begin to recite the entire Qur'an.
Then you can relax as your spiritual heart recites the entire Qur'an.
Honest to God, I never used to believe in these things.
But my Lord is my witness, when I saw the sub-spirit of my own spiritual heart recite the Qur'an all night long, that's when I understood.
Within a year and a half of my association with His Divine Eminence,
I would be laying in bed at night and, I swear by God and the Prophet (s) is my witness, the sub-spirit of my spiritual heart would be reciting the Qur'an all night.
Another thing that started happening was whenever the call to prayer was made in Kaaba, it would be echoed by my spiritual heart.
Honestly, His Divine Eminence is my witness, I would be woken up by the sound of my spiritual heart making the adhan.
[Before I awoke] when I heard the sound of the adhan, I thought, 'Why can't this molvi be quiet?'
That's what I was thinking
but when I opened my eyes...
that's when I realised the molvi was not to be blamed.
The sound of adhan was coming from my spiritual heart.
Believe you me, when your ethereal entity is infused [with the essence of the Lord] and you will have visited Riaz ul Jannah once…
Do you know what will happen?
Whenever His Divine Eminence calls out [from Riaz ul Jannah], you will hear the voice of the Lord resounding in your heart.
And then, when you hear the resounding in your heart, then you must be lionhearted to hear the voice yet remain in this world
and say, ‘I’ve promised my Master that I shall bear the flag of this mission, I am not going to Aalam e Ghaib, I’ll remain here’.
This is gallantry.
Otherwise, those voices that I can hear from within my chest,
the voice of my Master...
'Come here', 'Where is so-and-so?'
When His Divine Eminence calls out, They are summoning the ethereal entities [within the body].
because they stay with His Divine Eminence, but the body thinks that it is being summoned by the Lord.
Sometimes, I'll hear, 'Younus, come here'.
I jolt up and start looking here and there
because I think my Master is calling me but it's not me being called, it is my inner entities that belong to the Lord now.
'I have summoned them, I did not call you', [says the Lord].
The body thinks the Lord has summoned it but it's not the body, it is the inner ethereal entities that are in constant communication with the Master.
And I can do nothing but listen to everything being said, knowing that I cannot go there.
And so much is being said, but it's not addressed to me.
The entire spiritual treasury is with the Lord and what is left is just the treasure box.
Therefore, it makes no difference whether it is here or buried because the celestial spirits depart [the body either way].
This [body] is nothing but a skeleton.
The real treasure [is the soul].
In the way that I write in my poetry, ‘Gohar Shahi has taken my heart’
'My faith has been destroyed...Gohar Shahi has taken my heart'.
Once Gohar Shahi has stolen your heart, then what else do you have left?
What does remain is the shell of a sobbing, smouldering heart.
It's just the ghost of a heart that once was filled with the presence of the Lord, and so there is an attachment
but the inner entities are long gone
and it is them the Lord addresses.
[If the Lord says], 'Come here', the servant thinks the Lord is summoning him.
when the Lord is actually addressing the ethereal entities that live with the Lord in the ethereal realm.
Something really interesting happened one day.
A few birds descended from the Unseen World and they were singing the Kalima [of Riaz ul Jannah].
The birds were fluttering past me, first one, then another.
This happened physically.
One flew past this way, another that way and I was elated.
When a couple of birds fluttered past me, I saw that a few birds came out from my chest.
And those birds too began to sing the Kalima of the Unseen World.
The ones that came [from within me].
Now, when the birds that had descended [from the Unseen World] heard the sweet, melodious sound of my birds, they were left awestruck.
Then my birds told the other birds to transform into their original forms, and then both species of birds appeared in their original forms.
The birds [of the Unseen] asked [my] birds, 'Where did you learn this from?' And [my] birds posed the same question to them.
The birds [of the Unseen] relayed the methods through which they learned [the Kalima]
whereas, [my] birds said, 'The one whose Kalima we recite came into this world. He taught us'.
Those birds were shocked. 'Really! He came to this world? You learnt it from Him?!'
So they then kissed [my] feet and flew back.
I wish for you all to go through this as well.
What is the real purpose of coming into this world?
It is said that it is this verse [of the Qur'an].
'Alif Laam Meem
'This is the Book! There is no doubt about it...'
'A guide for the seekers who believe in the Unseen...'
''One who rejects the Unseen and degrades and slanders the spiritual dignitaries cannot be a Momin or a Muslim''.
''Most people are not worthy of the spiritual path...''
''Although their outer appearance is in perfect harmony with the knowledge...'
Their outer appearance is complete with a beard and an imama sharif [ranging in colours] -
black, yellow, green, blue...
But from within?
Infidels, heathens.
