In the snap of their fingers.
I swear by the tresses of the Lord,
when I say that the Lord can take you to see God in a snap of their fingers,
I believe even this is sacrilege
to the authority of their benevolence.
What Shall Imam Mehdi Do When They Arrive?
Q: What will Imam Mehdi do?
When Imam Mehdi arrives, then you shall see what they shall do.
What difference do our predictions make?
Imam Mehdi shall do as whatever they are in the mood to do.
What difference does what we say make?
They shall do as they pleases.
Who can predict what they are to do?
They are the master of their own accord, it all depends on their mood.
One day, as the Lord elucidated
on the eminence of God’s personal name,
the Lord said, ‘Jesus Christ shall pledge allegiance at the hands of Imam Mehdi’.
The Lord said, ‘Jesus Christ longed to witness the divine splendour.
He would run around frantically in the jungles, searching for a glimpse of God.
However, he couldn’t see him because
he did not possess the personal name of God.
He shall arrive in the era of Imam Mehdi
to obtain God’s personal name from Him.
When he obtains the divine energy of God’s Person, then he shall see God’.
Then what did the Lord say one day?
One day, the Lord said,
‘Jesus Christ shall come to Imam Mehdi
and who knows what Imam Mehdi will do?
Perhaps they will have him engage in zikr
or bestow upon him their spiritual attention’.
So, how can we predict what Imam Mehdi shall do when they arrive?
He is the master of His own accord and shall do as He pleases.
When we were in Pakistan,
we rendered zikr to everyone, had everyone engage in zikr.
Then, when we came to England, our mood changed.
The mood changed and we thought,
‘why bother engaging people in zikr, we shall have them conquer spirituality with our spiritual attention alone'.
So, it depends on their will.
Their grandeur, their conduct,
their temperament is not slave to a cycle,
their temperament doesn’t follow a pattern
like if they have done something then that is all they would do.
No.
One who always does the same thing is imprisoned.
Sometimes they would use soap, other times powder
or just water [but] they would test different methods…
it’s their choice.
Today, they may be in the mood for zikr
so they will engage in zikr alone
but if you come tomorrow, they would say, ‘What good is zikr?
Come, we shall take you there with our spiritual attention’.
So, no one can predict what Imam Mehdi will do when they come.
It all depends on their temperament and mood.
They may advise you towards Zikr today,
and tomorrow their mood shall be to make you reach the destination with their spiritual attention.
Because when Imam Mehdi arrives...
there is something mentioned in the traditions,
that [Imam Mehdi] shall rule for seven years.
Seven years.
Now, tell me this,
Imam Mehdi shall arrive
and if they are going to rule for seven years,
how will they make people complete their spiritual journey through zikr in seven years?
Just the isolation [for the purity of the lower self] requires 12 years.
It’s a point to ponder.
If the total number of years is seven in which Imam Mehdi shall govern,
then there shall be hordes of people coming in from all corners.
Alright, so now Imam Mehdi has arrived,
do you think they will then ask people to engage in austerities for the lower self and the spiritual heart for 12 years?
There are only seven years for the governance!
So, they won’t have the time to conduct Shariah and Tariqah.
They won’t have enough time to have people practise Tariqah.
They won’t have enough time to render the doctrine of the spiritual heart
and the lower self.
That is our job and that is what we are doing.
When Imam Mehdi returns,
they shall do everything with their spiritual attention.
They shall come and ask us,
'Alright, how many zakir e qalbi have you initiated?'
'Lord, these people',
and they shall say, 'Okay, bring them forth'.
So it’s like teamwork.
It's like when you go to Subway, the sandwich shop.
One person toasts the bread,
the second spreads the chicken, the third puts in the salad;
each engaged in their own tasks.
Similarly, this is our task.
What is the task of the Representative of Imam Mehdi?
To pave the way for Imam Mehdi.
What is meant by ‘pave the way’?
To introduce to people and have them blessed with the benevolence of Imam Mehdi beforehand,
so that people are already crazy for
and enamoured with Imam Mehdi,
so that people are accustomed to the countenance
and familiarised with the voice of Imam Mehdi.
And when they arrive,
it is not their job to render you zikr.
Their job is,
[they shall ask] ‘Bring all those whose zikr is activated’.
‘Alright, now close your eyes
and then open to see what is in front of you’.
They shall make you witness God within seconds.
In the snap of their fingers.
I swear by the tresses of the Lord,
when I say that
the Lord can take you to see God in a snap of their fingers,
I believe even this is sacrilege
to the authority of their benevolence.
In mere moments - one cannot quantify what Imam Mehdi will and can do!
Their grandeur cannot be explained
nor their authority.
What will Imam Mehdi do when they arrive?
Who knows.
I don’t think about what they will do,
I believe all these ranks shall be terminated,
and how many ethereal spirits one has activated
and whether he is a saint or a divine lover...
Imam Mehdi shall bestow upon all equally.
‘All shall witness God!’
‘But Lord, his heart is not activated!’ ‘Oh, it doesn’t matter!’
That is Imam Mehdi.
If someone’s heart is not activated
but they have been coming to this mehfil for the past 10 years,
the Lord says, ‘It’s okay, come, come’
That’s just how they are.
