What we need today in this world, more than [awareness of] climate change and global warming,
is that the world should support this knowledge of Sufism
which has [the] antidote to any negative problem in this world today.
Why do you want to know about the world, atoms, materials? Why do you not want to know God?
Why do you not want to know yourself, who you are? I mean, you're studying leaves and trees
and you're dissecting frogs, studying dead bodies in medical colleges.
What about yourself? Why don't you study yourself? Why are you here? Why don't you study [your] emotions?
And when you study emotions, [learn] how to turn negative emotions into positive emotions.
This is important.
So, the knowledge with which one is able to cleanse his negative psyche is very important.
And the west needs to understand the fact
that without cleansing the negative psyche, there is no Sufism.
Without purifying the lower self, there is no Spirituality.
Tell us, in the west, there are thousands of people who are paedophiles.
You don't like it. A paedophile sitting next to you is not possible.
You wouldn't want to sit with a paedophile, will you?
But where is it coming from? How did they become a paedophile
if there is nothing wrong in you, if there is no negative psyche in you?
If the lower self is all good, you love yourself and have your ego alive if that is the case
then what force in this world, what force in him turns him into a paedophile? It's the lower self.
Every day we read newspapers and there are people who sleep with their daughters.
Only two days ago I was reading this news. A man slept with his daughter many thousand times and he
fathered three more children through his daughter and then he slept with them too.
Where is this coming from? From the soul?
Where is this impulse coming from? No, it's not coming from the soul.
You must recognise the existence of the lower self and the bad spirit.
This impulse - some people are socially restricted but they do have this impulse, when they want to have sexual affairs,
they don't want to care who is standing in front of them, they can have it with anybody
but socially, they feel restricted. But some people have even stronger impulses,
they get carried away. They become rapists, they become paedophiles. And you think the Devil is doing it?
Have you ever seen the Devil? Where is the Devil? It is our own negative psyche.
It is our own lower self which is dominated with lust,
deceit, envy, greed, injustice, hatred. If you don't take care of this,
the world will become even worse. It's already pretty bad.
Everything has become very superficial in this world.
Thousands of charity organisations are just fake.
'We care about each other!' It's fake.
'Humanity first'. It's just a slogan. We don't care about anyone.
We don't care about anyone.
We only care about our own selves.
Like, there is an international movement
for global warming and climate change, on the same level we need this knowledge of Sufism
so that we are able to cleanse our lower self and save this planet from personal atrocities,
from the rise of hatred, from unlawful lust. We can stop people from turning into paedophiles.
We can stop rape, only if we tell them that this impulse has to be removed.
I mean, how do you rehabilitate a rapist? There is no rehabilitation for a rapist.
He will rape, do his time in prison and when he is released, he will do the same thing again.
How do you rehabilitate them? By talking to them, right? Talks don't cook rice.
Talking will not purify anybody. What we need today in this world, more than [the awareness of] climate
change and global warming is that the world should support the knowledge of Sufism
which has the antidote to any negative problems in the world today.
If with the help of this knowledge of Sufism, we remove hatred from Pakistanis and Indians,
there will be no war. If we remove this hatred from the hearts of people with the help of Sufism,
the black and the white and the coloured man will all become brothers to each other,
there will be no racism. Why there is an uprise in racism? Because we take pride in the colour
of our skins and we have forgotten our souls are the same. Racism, hatred, intolerance - all these
things are the total depiction of negativity in our society.
The only way we can make this world into a better place is through knowledge of spirituality/Sufism.
Because a Sufi is tolerant. Because a Sufi does not disrespect anybody.
A Sufi cannot turn into a paedophile. A Sufi is not a racist. A Sufi doesn't want a war.
I think the best human beings can do today, and those human beings who are among presidents of
some countries, prime ministers of some countries, they should support Sufism.
The applied Spirituality. Only through Sufism, this world can become a better place.
And this Western Sufi Course is not just a number of lectures, as we speak, my Master Gohar Shahi
concentrates on the hearts of everybody who is partaking in this Sufi course and they
are the true recipient of the spiritual grace and spiritual benedictions.
This is just an intro to negative psyche, I will come to discuss the nature of negative psyche
and then I give you a spiritual litmus paper, with the help of which you apply
this on your own self and you come to know what is the level of your negative psyche;
how good or bad you are right now and then, how to clean your negative psyche.
And how to elevate your lower self to an extent where one day, your lower self equals with your higher self.
