Bismillahir
Rahmaanir Raheem
The ‘Suhbat’ or company of the Auliya Allah (Friends
of Allah Ta’ala) is such that even if they remain silent in their Majaalis,
those who are present and who had come with sincerity, will leave with Noor in
their hearts.
It is via this Noor that a person makes sincere Taubah, and it is
this Noor which is instrumental in creating the keen desire of change in the
person’s life.
Fragrant roses in a room do not give any speech. Their fragrance imbues
throughout the room, enters the nostrils and creates pleasure in the heart. The
conditions for benefiting are :
The roses must be real and fragrant; not artificial.
The people in the room must have their noses open and sinuses unclogged.
In a similar manner, the person must be a genuine Wali of Allah Ta’ala
and not a fraud, and the people sitting in his company must have love and
respect for him and must sit with an open and unprejudiced heart, willing to
receive. People sitting in the talks of a Wali, harbouring malice against that
Wali, will derive no benefit
whatsoever.
[Hazrat Maulana Yunus Patel Saheb (Rahmatullahi 'alayh)]
