There is a hadith.
This hadith gave me a new understanding of trust in the Lord.
When God said, ‘Ana maa’ee ma’a zikrini -
- I am with the one who remembers me’.
So, this changed my entire prospect about trust.
Anxiety starts with fear
and if this fear is consistent,
it causes a chemical imbalance in our blood
and a little bit of noise, little bit of fear can trigger it.
You become anxious
and I personally think it has to do with being paranoid.
Paranoia is a form of fear of something
that you can’t even see but you think if you do this, this will happen, if you go there, that will happen.
And somebody says, ‘Don’t do this’ and you happen to do it,
then you get really restless,
You think, ‘Oh, he said don’t do it but I’ve done it.
What will happen now?’
So, initially, it starts with fear
but you need somebody whom you trust
and that somebody should tell you
that, ‘nothing will happen, I am here with you’,
and if that person is really concerned,
that person will stand by you.
So when you know you suffer from anxiety
and you know there is somebody you can trust,
somebody who can protect you,
this feeling,
the very feeling that there is somebody standing by my side
and that somebody will be always with me and protect me,
this helps a lot.
Then, we develop fear for many things
that person should tell you, ‘Okay, do it now’.
And you’re scared if you do that, some other people will hate you.
So, you should understand if what you’re doing is right
then do it, don’t worry what people think of this.
I mean, what I’m doing, a normal person cannot do that.
I am doing a lot of things.
I am poking my nose into everybody’s affairs spiritually.
Muslims are corrupt. Hindus are corrupt. Christians are corrupt.
I am making everybody my enemy.
Now, if I start thinking the Hindus will kill me,
the Christians will kill me,
I will develop an extreme form of paranoia and anxiety.
But why doesn’t it happen to me?
Because I firmly believe…
I have this firm belief in me
and I firmly believe that His Holiness Gohar Shahi is with me
and nothing bad will happen to me.
Nothing bad will happen to me because HDE Gohar Shahi is with me.
Then, number two,
if anything bad is about to happen to me,
I don’t care because what I’m doing is right.
So you have to have this confidence in you
and anxiety will leave your heart.
Anxiety means you are weak.
You are a weak person.
Emotionally weak.
You should think that there are people around you
who are to help you and protect you
and they will protect you.
So when you have this confidence
and this trust in people who are around you and will protect you,
it’s a great relief
and anxiety will exit your heart one day.
If you have people around you
who are really concerned about your emotional condition
and who want to help you out,
and then, obviously, HDE Gohar Shahi is with you.
There is a hadith.
This hadith gave me a new understanding of trust in the Lord.
When God said, ‘Ana maa’ee ma’a zikrini -
- I am with the one who remembers me’.
So, this changed my entire prospect about trust.
So I would literally say, ‘HDE Gohar Shahi’,
and I would think the Lord is here.
And you do the same.
You say: ‘HDE Gohar Shahi’.
You repeat the Lord’s name and the Lord is there.
All you need is trust.
Give it a try.
And especially when the Lord Himself has said,
‘Put Gohar Shahi to a test’.
And we see day in, day out, every day…
I mean without the Lord’s help, we cannot even walk properly.
The only efficient, trustworthy survival tool
that we have in our bag is our trust in HDE Gohar Shahi.
You know, if a lot of people call something right wrong,
you begin to doubt yourself.
But this is what you need to learn:
what is right is right no matter how many people think it’s wrong.
This is where your confidence is tested.
When you have the truth
and you’re holding onto the truth
and you know this is the truth
then don’t worry how many people are opposing that truth,
how many people think it’s wrong.
Don’t give a damn about them.
You should know what you’re doing is right,
forget about the world.
As long as you know it’s right, go ahead and do it.
If you’re in doubt whether or not you’re doing anything wrong or right, confirm it.
When you have recognised the truth,
make sure nothing can change your view about the truth.
Well, people do that.
This is what happened in Karbala.
This is what happened in Kufa.
Muslim bin Aqeel was sent by Imam e Aali Maqam Imam Hussain (as).
40,000 people were offering salah behind him
but then Yazid sent his forces
and said, ‘Whoever will stand by Muslim bin Aqeel, I will kill them’.
So the fear took them away
and now they are beating their chests.
You should have stood by the truth.
So, anxiety -
- I personally take it as if it starts with your inner weakness,
lack of confidence.
We have been through hell
but what preserved my sanity
was my belief and my trust in HDE Gohar Shahi.
As long as HDE Gohar Shahi is with me,
no untoward thing will happen.
And things that have gone out of control
will come back into control again
because the Lord is with me.
And it happens!
If you have belief in the Lord, the Lord makes everything happen.
There is nothing in this world that the Lord cannot do.
So, it’s the belief.
So aim for the sky,
even if you don’t reach the sky, you’ll reach somewhere…
maybe Burj Khalifa.
So if you want to reach Burj Khalifa, aim for the sky.
