Because when he tried to find a way to present his greetings to Imam Mehdi in the ethereal realm, he came up with nought.
Because Imam Mehdi is not from here.
This is why he instructed his grandson to relay his greetings [to Imam Mehdi].
Now, who was the one who commanded him to do so?
Who was the one sitting there when he read this prophetic tradition?
It was the Tifle Noori.
Now listen, the Tifle Noori is a divine entity which enables a Sultan [ul Fuqra] to witness the divine splendour in complete senses right here in this world.
But when the very same entity goes out in search of any sign of Imam Mehdi, it returns empty-handed.
Why Abdul Qadir Jilani Failed to Find Any Sign of Imam Mehdi (as)
Believe you me, if one manages to become a lowly servant in the Caravan of Imam Mehdi...
I swear to God, there is no blessing greater than this.
Many great personalities have made supplications to be a part of Imam Mehdi's Caravan.
We find in narrations the desire of Maula Ali, 'Had I been born in the era of Imam Mehdi...
I would spend my entire life in their servitude'.
Such grand personalities have conveyed their longing to be in the era of Imam Mehdi in order to serve them.
It wasn't until the very twilight of his life that Ghaus e Azam (Abdul Qadir Jilani (ra)) realised
that the personality to come after him shall carry extraordinary grandeur and calibre.
Ineffable grandeur!
When he would come across any prophetic traditions pertaining to Imam Mehdi...
Now, the personalities as such - those who are Ahle Nazar and Ahle Batin -
When they read about a grand personality, they close their eyes to catch a glimpse of them in the ethereal realm so as to render their greetings.
So when Ghaus e Azam read a particular prophetic tradition about Imam Mehdi, he closed his eyes immediately
so that he could present his greetings in the ethereal realm.
Now, Ghaus e Azam searched absolutely everywhere, every nook and cranny
but he found no sign of Imam Mehdi anywhere.
He was completely helpless and that's when he summoned his grandson.
He told his grandson, 'You must not die until you have presented my greetings to Imam Mehdi (as)'.
The question is, Ghaus e Azam instructed his grandson not to die before he has conveyed his greetings to Imam Mehdi... but why?
Because when he tried to find a way to present his greetings to Imam Mehdi in the ethereal realm, he came up with nought.
Because Imam Mehdi is not from here.
This is why he instructed his grandson to relay his greetings [to Imam Mehdi].
Now, who was the one who commanded him to do so?
Who was the one sitting there when he read this prophetic tradition?
It was the Tifle Noori.
Now listen, the Tifle Noori is a divine entity which enables a Sultan [ul Fuqra] to witness the divine splendour in complete senses right here in this world.
But when the very same entity goes out in search of any sign of Imam Mehdi, it returns empty-handed.
The very same entity.
It didn't find any sign [alluding to Imam Mehdi].
When it is unable to find any sign, it becomes perplexed
and thinks, ‘I used to say that I am a creation of God that none besides me know of, but who is this personality who has no signs [to identify him]’.
So, when he attempted to find any sign of Imam Mehdi and failed to do so,
he was in complete awe and thought, 'what a grand personality!'
'Who is he? Who is this personality?' [He wondered].
That's when he told his grandson - and his grandson stayed alive for 650 years.
He did not die until he arrived in Lal Baagh and conveyed his [grandfather's] greetings to HDE Gohar Shahi.
There is a place called Bara Koh in Islamabad
and that’s where he resided.
And it was him that gave Bari Imam the title, ‘Bari Imam’
And it was he who urged Imam Bari, 'Go to Dhok Gohar Shah, don't you know Imam Mehdi has arrived there?'
It was he who sent Imam Bari.
He became acquainted with Imam Bari because they lived in close proximity to one another.
Since he chose his place of residence in Bara Koh, it simply means that he was given a sign
of the location of Imam Mehdi's arrival.
I swear by God, sometimes I feel like telling you of all the discussions I've had with Hazrat Elias.
For instance, when the Prophet (s) was fighting in a war against the Infidels, and Elias (as) appeared right in the midst of the war.
He asked the companions, 'Where is your prophet?'
They said to him, 'Speak with respect. Watch your tone'.
He said, 'Fine, please call the Prophet'.
They pointed in the Prophet's direction and [Elias] asked them to call [the Prophet].
He then took the Prophet (s) out of the battlefield and discussed Imam Mehdi with the Prophet (s) under a tree whilst war was being fought.
[Before] Maula Ali was martyred, he declared, 'Leave my body atop a travelling camel, and do not turn back'.
So [after his demise], they placed his body on a camel, and the camel continued walking.
Now, this is the power of God - it is with the power and will and desire of God that
that camel began its journey and did not stop until it reached Chakwal.
Maula Ali did not know the exact location of the region where Imam Mehdi's advent shall take place
so he made a radius - Islamabad and Chakwal also come within that radius.
Maula Ali also went to Chakwal.
Why did he go there?
In remembrance of Imam Mehdi.
And the grandson of Ghaus e Azam also travelled all the way [to Pakistan] for the sake of [meeting] HDE Gohar Shahi.
Now, he had come to Lal Baagh to meet HDE Gohar Shahi.
He thought the Lord would not recognise him.
But who can be hidden from the Lord's sight?
HDE Gohar Shahi said, 'I went to Lal Bagh one day, and he came to meet me there.
Upon seeing me, the shop owner of a canteen brought two slices of bread and some food to eat.
He picked up the bread and began eating it.
So the shop owner saw this and brought more bread for His Divine Eminence, which, again, he ate.
But this was his expression to receive the benevolence of HDE Gohar Shahi
Don't feel upset about his actions because
One does strange things!
Because your intellect fails you [in that moment].
Such is HDE Gohar Shahi's company.
No one stays sound-minded in the blessed company of HDE Gohar Shahi.
When one is before HDE Gohar Shahi, there’s just this urge to disperse at the feet of HDE,
to cling onto their feet.
You become obvious of all else.
