The same rain falls on weeds, grass, bushes, trees, men, and animals. The rain does not fall more abundantly on a good man than it does on a bad man. Everyone experiences it equally. Think of this with wisdom. My son, if you are to become a true human being, your actions, qualities, behavior, and the duty you perform must fall like the rain without partiality. If you are like that, you will obtain the beauty of God's state. This is the duty which gnanis and the truly perform. Realize this. 351. Uproot Differences 352. When A Fox Attains Peace 353.

Plow Just One Acre My son, rather than plowing a large area of earth to a depth of one inch, scattering seeds everywhere, it will benefit you more to plow just one acre to a depth of four inches. From that one acre, you will receive a harvest equal to fifty acres. Like this, my son, do not try to study everything in the world - gnanam here, religion there, yoga here, meditation there, and the four hundred trillion, ten thousand forms of spiritual worship everywhere. It would be like sowing extensive farmland without sufficient plowing. That would be of little value. Within you heart, in a space no bigger than an atom, God has placed the 18,000 universes, good and evil, and the wisdom to differentiate between them. That is your farmland. If you plow that land deep with your wisdom, and sow God's qualities and actions with the knowledge of the difference between good and evil, you will receive the wealth of your soul, the bountiful harvest of undiminishing grace. Reflect on this and act accordingly. 401. Winnow While The Wind Is Blowing 402. Do Only What Is Good 403. Only Man Has Changed 404. Man Lived As The Highest Being 405.

The Dream Of Time A fortuneteller asked a wise man, "Does man carry time with him, or does time move along carrying man?" The wise man answered, "It is man who carries time and makes it pass. Time does not carry man. Man carries time, counts it, and is subject to the difficulties and conditions of each season that time brings. If he unburdens himself of time, all things connected to time will also leave." "Time is the day and night which he himself brings about. It is the dream he sees. If man relinquishes darkness, he will no longer exist in the duality of time. If he gives up the dreaming of his mind, he will lose his thoughts." "Engulfed in the light of grace, he will live a life without darkness. Forever he will dwell in the light of God, and there will be no passage of time." 451. The Connection Between God And Man 452.

The Shaikh replied, "A gnani will dwell among the people, doing his duty, but he will have no attachments to blood ties. He will be in the world but the world will not be in him. His love will permeate all lives, and his justice will never fail." "The integrity and goodness of one who is a gnani must not falter and his duty must be unfailing. Desire, mind, and evil thoughts must not exist within him. He must see sorrow of other lives as his own, he must see the happiness of other lives as his own, he must experience the illnesses of other lives as his own, and he must feel the hunger of other lives as his own." "He must teach the happiness of his life to others, showing them how to experience that happiness." "In a state without any attachments at all, he must do duty to God, duty to the people, and duty to the soul. He must have God's qualities and live without any separations or differences." "Existing in the form of compassion, he has dispelled all evil within him, and he has destroyed all the karma of his birth. With God's qualities, he will perform God's duty as his own, dispelling the hunger and disease of all lives and the suffering in the mind of the people." "He will teach the way to dispel the illnesses of birth and karma. He will make the people understand the grace of God and teach them wisdom, and the way to rid themselves of their own darkness. He will make their wisdom resonate and help them to attain the liberation of the soul." "He will have the qualities of patience, sabur or inner patience, and shukur or contentment. He will place all his trust in God, tawakkal-Allah, and give all praise to God, al-hamdu lillah." "His heart will be filled with compassion. To give love to all lives will be his life. He will not deviate an atom from faith in God. Such is the state of a gnani." 501. The Relationship Between A King And His People 502. The People Of An Exalted Nation 503.

If The World Is Within There Is Fear The Shaikh said: My son, there are certain things which are vital to man's understanding of life. No matter how a man thinks, no matter how he lives, he will still have the fear of illness and death. But if he can live as a real human being, if wisdom dawns in him, if faith in God develops within him, there will be no room for fear. If wisdom and absolute faith (iman) are firmly established within us, we can reach the state of death before death. Before the Angel of Death visits us, we will have cut all our attachments to the world; we will have become "dead" to the world. If we can establish the certitude that God alone exists, then God alone will dwell within us. If we retain only God's treasure within us, we will have no fear, because the Angel of Death can capture us only if the treasures of the world are within us. If we keep the treasure called Allah, the Angel of Death will not enter. As long as you have the world within you, there is fear. But if Allah is within you, neither suffering nor death will visit. It is the connection to earth that brings suffering, because suffering is natural on the earth. If you had no connection to earth, even if suffering and death were to come, they would not affect you, because you would no longer be dwelling within the elemental body. For when Allah is within you, you will be dwelling within the body of resplendent light. 651. Worthless Things 652. A Man Who Cannot Control His Lust 653. A Man Who Cannot Control His Anger 654.
