Imagine that Spirituality is like an app on the iPhone.
It is an app through which you can reach God.
But if someone else holds the password to that app...
so although you may have the app and use it to engage in fervent worship of God
but as soon as the password-holder sees you are about to reach God, he will change the password and close the app.
Why is the Devil Not Bothered by Your Worship?
In a similar way, His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi declares that when you offer prayers,
Satan watches you from a corner and snickers at you.
[He says] 'Keep going, son. Your heart is in my hands'.
'I will turn it as and when I please'.
The Devil has no problem when you engage in worship
or when you offer prayers or engage in zikr.
He has no problems with it whatsoever.
Why not?
For instance, if I want to ensure you do not leave the UK...
you may live anywhere in the UK but you do not leave the UK...
I will take your passport from you.
Now, you cannot have a new passport made.
I hold your passport.
You are more than welcome to pack a suitcase, call a taxi and be on your way to the airport... it shall not phase me.
I shall remain untroubled.
So keep trying... I have your passport in my hand.
You're not going anywhere without it.
In the same way, when you engage yourself in physical worship, Satan stands in a corner and mocks you, 'Carry on, buddy. I hold your heart in my hands and I can change it when I please'.
Our hearts are under Satan's control.
And the clergymen have been inducted by the Satan.
So why does Satan deploy the clergymen, why not the likes of Tanveer, Azam, Hafiz Farid and Ghafoor Alvi?
Because the latter are not convincing enough in their act, the world would instantly recognise them as Satan's lackeys.
This is why Satan has inducted those whose evil realities can never be detected by the world.
[Such people] have long beards and beautifully recite the Holy Qur'an.
They are leading prayers and Taraweeh, they are the Imams of the mosque.
Nobody would ever think that such people could be Satan's underlings.
That's why they have been inducted by Satan.
Whereas, those among these clergymen who acquired the knowledge of purgation of the lower self
and the knowledge of the purification of the heart,
they become an Aalim e Haq (Rightful Scholar) and a Caliph of the Prophet (s).
They are known as a Rightful Scholar - a scholar whose tongue and heart both are engaged in Zikr Allah.
A scholar whose own prayers as well as the prayers of those standing behind him reach Bait ul Mamour is a Rightful Scholar.
Even turning your back on such a scholar is considered a sin...
because he is a Representative of the Prophet (s).
He is a Caliph of the Prophet (s).
However, a scholar whose tongue is learned but whose heart is under Satan's siege...
for such a 'scholar', the Prophet (s) declared, 'Ittaqu aalim al jaahil (Beware the ignorant scholar)'.
The Companions asked, 'Qeela min aalim al jaahil, ya Rasool Allah? (Who is an ignorant scholar, O Messenger of God?)'
The Prophet responded, 'Aalim al lissan wal jaahil al qalb yaani aswad'.
'An ignorant scholar is one whose knowledge is tongue-deep, 'aalim al lissan',
meaning one whose tongue is scholarly but whose heart is 'ignorant' meaning blackened'.
Their knowledge is confined to lip service and their hearts are not connected with God.
God has also given us instructions: wala tutay man aghfalna qalbahu an zikre na
'Do not follow those whose hearts I have kept heedless of my zikr'.
There is only one thing that defines guidance and misguidance, and that is the heart.
One whose heart is adorned with divine energy is guided.
One whose heart does not receive God's name is misguided.
'Olaika fee dalalun mubeen (and such people are openly misguided)'.
These teachings of His Divine Eminence Imam Mehdi Gohar Shahi...
'Inayat' is used in both Urdu and Arabic.
What does 'inayat' mean?
Inayat means to care.
Like, when we care for each other - that is known as 'inayah' in Arabic.
So this is the caring attention of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi
that without any commitment, without any conditions
absolutely everyone is being granted the personal name of God, their hearts being adorned with divine energy.
Furthermore, those whose hearts are designed to be hard as they are created specifically for hell...if such a person comes here
and they invest their total reliance upon His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi,
and they say, 'I cede my fate unto you. I cannot be blamed for being destined to hellfire.'
'I didn't choose it'.
Such is the power of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi's spiritual concentration...
HDE Gohar Shahi's spiritual concentration shatters the impenetrable hardness of the heart.
Completely shatters it.
You are morally obligated to spread this message...
This message of the truth...
This message of divine love...
This message of the reformation of the heart...
This message that leads you to God...
Taking this message across the globe is far more superior than any form of worship, any form of zikr.
