This here is very important and you should remember it at all times
so that you no longer have to be concerned about trivial matters.
And what is the important thing?
Those whom God has created specifically for hellfire...
What Does Activation of the Heart Mean?
[The practice of] Spirituality and Sufism is a full-time job.
It is not part-time.
In order to become a Sufi, the main job is for you to activate your Qalb (spiritual heart).
It is mentioned in a hadith, 'O Son of Adam, there is a lump of flesh in your body...'
and if it is corrected, your entire body is corrected
but if it is corrupted, your entire body is corrupted.
Remember well, it is your heart'.
This hadith is excellent.
We learn from this hadith that the reformation of our body is directly dependent on the reformation of our spiritual heart.
However, reformation of the spiritual heart is not in your hands.
It is the divinely ordained Spiritual Master who reforms your spiritual heart.
The Spiritual Master begins the process by inserting God's name into your heart with his spiritual concentration.
This here is very important and you should remember it at all times
so that you no longer have to be concerned about trivial matters.
And what is the important thing?
Those whom God has created specifically for hellfire...
their hearts are hardened and they do not possess the power of understanding.
Their eyes are veiled; they are incapable of witnessing esoteric sights.
Now, it is not their physical eyes which are veiled.
It is their esoteric vision which has been veiled.
For instance, if a spiritual dignitary appears before those who have Kashf (spiritual insight)
but those whose eyes are covered with esoteric veils will not be able to see them.
So, those whom God has created specifically for hell, their hearts are so hard that God's name does not settle therein.
So, if the name and light of God enter and settle into the stances of your heart,
then it is a glad-tiding for you that you have become a Momin.
This is not something I have come up with. This is written in the Qur'an.
It is written in Surah Al-Araf, 'wa laqad zar’aana li jahanama kaseeran min al jinn wal ins'.
God says, 'Verily! I have created a majority of human beings and djinns specifically for hell'.
'lahum qaloobun la yufqahoon'
'They are given hearts without the power of understanding'.
'And they are given eyes without the power of sight'.
'...without the power of sight'.
'And they are given ears without the power of hearing'.
'And these people are like animals'.
Why are they being called animals?
They are being called animals because God invests a spiritual sensory system within human beings
whereas, animals do not possess it.
Here, God is telling us that he has disabled the spiritual sensory system [of such people] as a punishment.
So then what would be the difference between them and animals when animals do not possess the spiritual sensory system and theirs is disabled?
Human beings have a spiritual sensory system while animals do not.
But if the spiritual sensory system in a human being has been disabled then what is the difference between them and animals?
This is why God said, 'olaika kal an’aam bal hum adalloo...'
In fact, God states, 'they are more misguided than animals'.
'olaika hum al ghafiloon'
'These are the people known as 'heedless''.
So we also understand from [this ayah] that heedless is one whose spiritual sensory system is devoid of God...
...devoid of divine energy.
Their soul, spiritual heart and the entire spiritual sensory system are completely devoid of divine energy.
Regardless of how fervently you engage in physical worship, if your spiritual heart is not acquainted with God, you are heedless [of God].
On the other hand, if your spiritual heart is activated with God's name, you are not heedless [of God] no matter where you are physically...
because your heart is connected with God.
The spiritual heart and the spiritual sensory system within a human being...
...if divine energy settles into the spiritual heart,
it simply means that you are a predestined Momin
and God is pleased with you
and that is why God's name has settled in your spiritual heart.
Had God been displeased with you then your spiritual heart would not have been activated with God's name.
This is a great fortune.
Now, if people object that we have Sikhs, Hindus, Christians, etc. in our organisation and that we are making a mockery of Islam because of this...
No, actually we are presenting the people before God.
God's name is not settling into their hearts because we have any control over it.
When a Sikh came here, we simply presented them before God and God imprinted his name onto their heart.
It is God's decision.
We have not asked them to come here.
God chooses them.
If a Hindu comes, we present them before God too.
Muslims still fail to understand that the Bhagwan of Hindus is our Allah.
And our Allah is the Bhagwan of Hindus.
Otherwise, Muslims should prove that their God is not the same as the God of Hindus.
Go ahead and commit shirk.
Tell me, who created the Hindus?
Who created the Sikhs?
What about the Christian? Muslims were created by God and so was everyone else. The entire creation belongs to God.
Everyone is the creation of God.
Therefore, everyone has equal rights to be presented before God, and whomsoever God chooses he inserts his name into their hearts.
If God has chosen Mitesh [a Hindu], your objections are futile.
If God has selected Mitesh and inserted his name into his heart, it is God's decision and you can bark all you want.
It is in God's hands to grant guidance to whomsoever he wishes.
'yahdi allahu linoorihi mai yashaaoo'
It is written in the Qur'an.
The personal name of God, 'Allah', is such a grand blessing as it becomes the means to transform one's life.
Hindus also had the same concept.
Sant Kabir was in search of a Guru. When he came across a Guru, he asked him for 'naam daan'
We call it Ijazat e Zikr e Qalb (permission for Activation of the Heart) and the Hindus call it 'naam daan'.
'Daan' means 'to grant'
for example, [the name] 'Danveer' means 'the one who grants'
'Data' is also derived from 'daan'.
So, 'naam daan' means 'to grant the name'.
So, Sant Kabir requested for naam daan.
His name was Kabir Das.
The culture of Hindu spirituality at the time was this, only the Brahmin had the right over acquiring knowledge from the Guru.
and one of a lower caste has no right to obtain a connection with the Lord.
But obviously, this is rubbish. Isn't it?
Why do I say it is rubbish?
Because such a notion could never come from God, it is surely concocted by the human mind.
It cannot be from Bhagwan.
If this is from God, we could never believe in such a God.
Because God created the entire creation.
What kind of rubbish is 'lower caste' and 'upper caste'?
The entire creation is equal in God's eyes.
The entire creation of God is equal.
Anyway, Kabir Das approached the Guru and the Guru said to him, 'You are of a lower caste...
if a Brahman were to see, it would create problems for me'.
Kabir Das requested the Guru to come up with a solution.
So, the Guru said to him, 'Tell you what, you should go and hide somewhere along the route I traverse daily'.
'When I pass by, come out suddenly and fall at my feet. When I tread on you 'by accident'...
I will be surprised and say, 'Hey Raam! What has happened here?'
And when I say 'Hey Raam!' That will be your naam daan'.
That is what happened.
The Guru was walking along and [Kabir Das] fell at his feet
and when the Guru tread on him, he exclaimed, 'Hey Raam! What has fallen at my feet?'
He said, 'Hey Raam!' And looked intently down toward Kabir Das.
It means, he looked at him with his spiritual concentration
and 'Ra Raam' was settled into the stances of his heart.
And as the Lord's name entered his heart,
his entire body was filled with divine energy and became thoroughly cleansed.
