The 3 Grades of Heart Activation
Uzma Saqib asks:
I don't feel the invocation of Allah Hoo in my heart.
Some people see 'Allah' shining on their hearts...
through meditation.
Please tell me how I can feel it too.
Is seeing God's name written on your heart a condition for Heart Activation?
No, this is not a condition for Heart Activation.
There are some people who...
Now, there are 3 grades of Heart Activation.
How many? [Audience repeats].
There are 3 grades of Heart Activation.
The lowest grade...
The lowest grade of Heart Activation
without which the Heart Activation is not recognised by God
The minimum requirement for recognition in the eyes of God
is for God's name to be synchronised in the beating system of your heart
and it should be involuntary.
What should it be? [Audience repeats].
It should not be dependent on your concentration.
Involuntary.
You understand?
Back in the day, when I was a kid...
well, I'm still a kid.
So back then, my father used to bring me some toys
which you would have to manually wind up to make them work and then they would stop working.
And then they invented battery-operated toys which didn't need manual winding.
It was automatic.
In a similar way, this Heart Activation...
the Perfect Spiritual Guide inserts God's Personal Name, Allah, into the heartbeats.
Like that song: the toy will move for as long as Raam turned the key.
Right? For as long as Ram turned the key. So when Raam turns the key
for the toy [Heart Activation] for it to work 30,000 times a day then that's how many times it will work.
Whether you say Raam or Allah, it's the same thing.
You are not common Hindus and Muslims, are you?
Neither do you wonder why 'Raam' was said nor do you fight about it because you know that there is only one God.
You know, don't you?
Whether you say Allah, Raam, Bhagwan or God
It is God's blessings upon you that you have learnt the difference and cannot be deceived.
You are not a common Sufi, are you?
You know that whether you say Allah, Raam, Rahim or Bhagwan, there is no difference.
You don't worry about such things.
So depending on how long they key of your heart was wound by the Lord
whether it was 30,000 times or 40,000
the invocation in your heart will only stop when it reaches that number
not before that.
Whatever quantity God has prescribed for your heart...
your heart will be engaged in it whether you think about or pay attention to it or not.
'The toy moves for as long as Raam turned the key.'
In God's eyes, the heart is like the toy.
When the Lord winds up the key
if it is 30,000 times, it will reach that number
if it is 40,000 times, it will reach that number.
If the quantity is 50,000 times per day then it will reach that number and then stop.
Once it stops, you can conjure the power of the entire universe
but it will not say God's name even once more.
Only the number God has prescribed.
This is the minimum requirement of Heart Activation
that the invocation that happens in the heart is involuntary.
You are not required to make any efforts towards it whatsoever.
It's a divine grant.
It's God's grant.
This is why Sultan Haq Bahu said, 'Some are awake while asleep while some are asleep while awake.'
Some are asleep but they are counted as those who are awake
and some are awake and worshipping but in God's eyes, they are asleep.
Who are awake? They are those who may be sleeping but their hearts are always engaged in the invocation of God's name.
'My eyes sleep but my heart doesn't sleep.' - Prophetic Tradition
The minimum requirement for Heart Activation is for God's name to resonate in the beating system of your heart.
This [stage] is called 'Sahib-e-Zikar' (Bearer of Zikar).
This is mentioned in the holy Koran.
'They remember God while they sit, stand and toss and turn in their beds.' - Koran 3:191
What is the grade above this?
When a Spiritual Guide grants his disciple to visualise the name of God along with the invocation.
When a Spiritual Guide... [audience repeats].
When the disciple visualises it, they can see God's name written on the screen of their heart through the visualisation.
It's not actually written.
It is just the visualisation that is granted.
What's the point if it's not actually written there and it's just a visualisation?
The benefit for this is that if you have been granted visualisation
then you will generate more divine energy than you would with invocation alone.
The visualisation will what? [Audience repeats].
This is why this stage and rank is greater than Sahib-e-Zikar.
This stage of Sahib-e-Tasawwur (Bearer of Visualisation)... [audience repeats].
So what is the final and culminating stage of Heart Activation?
It is for God to grant his name to somebody.
For God to... [audience repeats].
For God to grant his name to somebody.
When the name is granted
it is not written on the heart.
There is an entire protocol for it.
When God grants his name to someone
it's not given just like that, there is an entire protocol for it.
For example, when you go to an oath ceremony for Canadian, American or British citizenship,
people see that even ignorant people like you are given Canadian citizenships.
So there is a whole ceremony for [the topmost grade].
So what happens?
It is not for everyone.
But...
I'm telling you what I have seen.
When I was granted God's Personal Name with the blessings of His Divine Eminence Gohar Shahi
So it had been about a year and a half since I took Zikar from His Divine Eminence.
It has been 1.5 years and my heart would beat with the invocation. Actually, it would race.
Really fast.
So it had been about 1.5 years and one night, at around 2:30 or 3 AM, I was returning home from a Zikar gathering
and it was the time when my family members would become worried about my routine
because I would disappear and that I had taken a step to find God
so they would lock the doors of the house and go to sleep.
So I would have to enter my house by climbing the wall and jumping down.
So that night, I did the same thing.
When I climbed the wall and jumped down
I slipped and injured myself.
I injured my knee very badly so I sat down
and the ground was cold.
As I was sitting there, I began to feel drowsy
and then
I began to feel some pain in my chest
and it started to feel like someone is ripping my ribcage open
and I heard a voice.
And along with hearing that voice, I saw that my heart came out of my chest and stood before me physically.
It had a foul smell.
Foul.
So my heart appeared before me
and when I looked up, I saw the Empyrean of God
and divine theophanies from there began to fall upon my heart.
This happened for 15 minutes.
After 15 minutes, my heart was transformed.
It became so clean
so shiny
it looked so pure that I began to love my heart.
It was so clean, shiny and pure.
It gleamed brighter than a mirror.
And then, I saw God's name written in gold come flying down from the Empyrean of God
and when it came and landed on my heart
I had thought that my heart has become so bright
but when God's name arrived, the brightness it had
was a billion times more.
It came and welded onto my heart.
God's name in gold.
When I saw all of this,
at first my heart, as soon as God's name attached itself to my heart
my heart began to scream
I could smell my flesh burning.
A lot happened.
After that, my heart
The Personal Name of God which had come separately and attached itself to my heart
it felt as if my heart was being given energy by God's name
and my heart was leaping.
After this incident whenever I would sit in a Zikar gathering
I would stay silent and my heart would leap out from my chest and do Zikar in front of me.
So after this incident, I would sit in the gathering and engage in Zikar
I would do 'Allah Hoo' a couple of times and my heart would come out
and do Zikar with leaps and bounds.
And when I met His Divine Eminence for the first time after this incident,
His Divine Eminence said, 'Now that God has written his name on your heart
and he has befriended you,
now you can never miss a Salat
or else he will become cross with you.'
So after that, I never missed a Salat.
After this incident, I never missed a Salat.
And it was after this incident that my sub-spirits were released; rapidly.
And then when I would offer Salat, I would see that
16-17 men just like me are offering Salat with me
16 or 17 men just like me are offering Salat.
So one day, when I realised that there are 16-17 men like me offering Salat with me
so I thought since there are so many already offering Salat, why don't I sit down?
I wanted to see if they would continue to offer Salat.
So I sat down
and I turned to see if they were still reciting but they vanished!
So then I stood up to offer Salat again and I saw that they were all there again.
So this happened for a long time.
As long as I would offer Salat, they would also do it. I thought what's the point?
It would have been better if I could relax and make them offer Salat.
But they would only offer Salat as long as I was doing it. If I wasn't, they wouldn't either.
And then one day, something happened
His Divine Eminence said, 'Come and offer Salat with me today
and your Salat will become eternal.'
I offered Salat with His Divine Eminence esoterically
and then His Divine Eminence smiled and said, 'Now, you're fine.'
'You used to stop offering Salat to see, right? Now watch.'
After that, when I would offer Salat and my sub-spirits would come out. I decided to leave and my sub-spirits continued offering Salat.
I left but this time, they stayed.
Then things changed.
I thought that my sub-spirits would come out automatically when it is time to pray
but they didn't.
I would have to stand to offer Salat and they would come out
I had just intended to offer Salat and they would come out
and after this happened a few times, I thought perhaps they come out when I intend to offer Salat.
So I thought I wouldn't need to move.
I would just intend to offer Salat and they would come out and do it.
That's when I realised that they are dependant on your thoughts.
When you think about offering Salat, they come out and offer Salat.
But you have to think about offering Salat first.
If you think about what is happening in the higher realms, the sub-spirits will go there.
These things happened after I saw the name of God written on my heart.
This is mentioned in the Koran.
'There are those upon whose hearts I have inscribed faith.'
'And their souls were helped with my right hand.'
