9 March 1907 177 Almighty descend on the Messenger and then through him others also partake of it as Maulaw i Ma‘nawi states: ِ او اکر رکدن د ص�ی� و ر �ی� ش � بطق او وخار ابیق د ن � ت س� �ہ ابق�ی�ان The Qu t ub (saint) is like a lion. It is the lion’s duty to hunt and all others eat whatever is left over. The real objective—that is, taqw a [righteousness] and faith—is indeed gained by everyone in any case; some directly and oth- ers indirectly. The real purpose is for man to achieve perfect faith and attain eternal salvation. If this objective is attained by the grace of God Almighty, then its example is like some people that tread on the path, while others recognize the path through them. Once the destination is reached, all stand as equal. By reason of entering into Paradise, all believers will indeed be equal. 1 1. Badr , vol. 6, no. 11, p. 4, dated 14 March 1907
