Those that make great heists, such people know the law in as much detail as the lawyers and police.
So if the Devil does not possess extensive material knowledge then how would he defeat the scholars?
He is familiar with every inch of the human being.

Material Knowledge vs Spiritual Knowledge
You see, there are petty thieves, I'm not speaking of them,
however, those that make great heists, the technical thieves,
such people know the law in as much detail as the lawyers and police.
So if the Devil does not possess extensive material knowledge then how would he defeat the scholars?
He is familiar with every inch of the human being.
I felt that in this path, one is only actually made aware once one’s spiritual eye is opened.
Because I can see in all of you that your foundations are currently all based on the apparent, not spirituality.
Why? Because you cannot see it.
This is why when a spiritual person tells you something,
he says it having seen from his spiritual eye and you judge the matter with your physical eyes and you go against what he says.
You say, 'How did he just say that?
He’s just saying it, that’s not how it actually is’'.
The material knowledge is equivalent to a snake.
It is very dangerous, the material knowledge.
But the mischief-mongers will clip out this part of my lecture
and propagate that I am calling the material knowledge equivalent to a snake.
But what I am saying to you is,
for example, a man and woman are a couple,
however although the child is born from the mother, it is the male sperm that settles in the womb.
Therefore, both (man and woman) are required to produce a child.
Without a man, a woman cannot produce a child,
and without a woman, the male seed has no use.
Similarly, in the ethereal realm, spiritual knowledge is equivalent to the man and material knowledge is equivalent to the woman.
Spiritual benevolence is acquired when both types of knowledge are combined.
Just as a child is born through the copulation of a man and a woman.
One who only attained the material knowledge and not the esoteric knowledge,
then walking upon the path of material knowledge without esoteric knowledge is the path of Satan.
Listen to the entire sentence.
Embarking upon the path of material knowledge without esoteric knowledge is to walk the Devil’s path.
Whereas, embarking upon the path of spirituality along with material knowledge is to walk the path of the prophets, saints and momineen.
All those that adopted material knowledge without esoteric knowledge,
I swear by God and the Messenger, none can save them from misguidance.
So, when spirituality became void from the ummahs; faith exited their hearts, their chests were devoid of divine light,
the unity of the Ummah was disbanded.
Even the Jews were divided into 72 sects.
So since their chests were devoid of divine light, Satan would come and instil evil ideas into them every day.
You do not know the origin or source of the thoughts that enter your mind.
You can be sitting and suddenly get a thought, and you assume that it is your own thought.
How is it your thought?
You are sitting somewhere and thinking and you assume that this is your thought, or assume that this thought is a revelation from God.
So, those that Satan wants to misguide, whether they're religious or irreligious,
Satan misguides them in a way that they are deceived;
along with the thoughts, the Satan appears before you in the guise of the prophets, saints or God.
You'd assume that this is Gabriel or another angel or a prophet.
How can you recognise them?
And the Satan instils its doctrine within you and leaves.
And listen to this, it’s even more important. And very dangerous.
Those that Satan makes his pawn, Satan gives them superficial powers in the world and says,
‘Go and do things that are impossible, so that people assume those acts to be miracles and accept you as a saint.
Blow upon people and heal them’.
But they won't be healed, they may get relief for a while.
But people will think that the ill person is cured and believe that you are a great saint.
You fly in the air for a while, and people would assume you to be a great saint.
Such a person would be able to tell you what you are thinking because he has djinns.
The djinns [in his control] ask the lower self of the person’s thoughts.
The lower self then tells the djinns and the djinns tell the imposter saint.
This is common in India; many people have assumed the roles of spiritual guides
and when their disciples leave their fold, they threaten them with:
'if you leave, we will do this to you or that to you'.
And they don’t make empty threats.
They have djinns under their control.
This is proof that they are the Devil’s advocates.
They are the Devil’s subordinates and they’re given some form of power to them to perform miracles such as prosperity in business,
healing or curing physical ailments - all such material benefits can be rendered by a person that has been appointed by Satan.
The recognition of the truth - Listen to me carefully.
The recognition of the truth is not Nasuti benevolence, but Malakuti benevolence.
Make note of this.
If you get someone a job or out of jail or heal an illness, or make someone rich overnight,
this is benevolence which can also be rendered through the spiritual attention of the saints,
however, this can be rendered through a pawn of Satan, too.
Because this is the Nasuti benevolence.
This is not evidence of the truth.
Now, what do we do?
HDE Gohar Shahi is our witness.
I say this bearing witness to the presence of HDE Gohar Shahi.
HDE Gohar Shahi has rendered the treasures of this universe at our feet,
the entire universe and they have shown it all to me but we did not pay it any heed.
However, when someone says to us that 'we have this and that problem’ or ‘we have faced a loss in our business’
or ‘we are facing family problems’ or whatever, we listen to them and pray for them, but do not do anything.
Why?
We have set a standard that if we are to render anyone anything, it won't be Nasuti benevolence, it will only be Malakuti benevolence.
So, tomorrow, no one can say,
"What you render can be rendered by another person, so he’s the same as you" or, "You’re the same as him."
This is why if anyone who is associated with us faces a problem, I remain silent. If they’re facing a problem then so be it.
Who doesn’t face problems in the world?
One person has a visa issue, another has another, and so on. We stay silent.
‘He doesn’t have this, he doesn’t have that’, and I tell them to be silent.
Why do we say that? Because then, one day the Lord shall see,
'This man is sitting quietly on the word of my Man, so let's solve their problem'.
And the Lord shall solve the problem because they notice you’re being patient on the word of their Man.
Believe me, going to the disco is not a satanic act.
It's an act of the lower self.
‘Let’s fall in love…’ These are the acts of the lower self, not Satan.
This is the fake Satan. Who is the real Satan?
The real Satan is one whose heart is occupied by the Satan while his head prostrates in the mosque.
One who wears a beard, but begrudges and blasphemes the saints.
He performs ten pilgrimages, has been performing salah for 40 years, sends benedictions upon the Prophet (s) day and night,
and celebrates Giarwhien for Ghaus Pak but begrudges HDE Gohar Shahi.
Such a person is the real Satan.
The Satan then tells these satans,
‘You believe in God and the Messenger (s) and you celebrate Giarwhien for Ghaus Pak,
you send benedictions upon the Prophet (s), you are a saint!
You do not need Gohar Shahi’.
The devil gives them the illusion that they are connected to God and the Messenger (s)۔
And what is the reality?
It is God and the Messenger (s) that have sent HDE Gohar Shahi
and said, 'Go and bring forth those that belong to us'.
