Introduction 25 toyed with by the imaginations of the philosophers. In contrast, God Himself comes to the seeker; God is more loving and faithful than a mother and does not wish His true seeker to perish in the darkness [of ignorance]. It is amazing that both seeker and phi- losopher seek God but He turns away from the philosopher and hurries towards the seeker! So, O my dear ones! In your search for God, never tread the path of philosophers, for you will never find God that way. The search for Him in this way is fruitless anyway because if, after find- ing God, we do nothing about it, then what is the point of seek- ing Him? Why should we spend our time, attention, and energy just to confirm whether or not God exists? This will not help us at all; rather, it will be damaging, as remaining unmindful after finding Him will make us guilty of two crimes. God will never reveal His Countenance to us as a result of this type of effort. He will only manifest Himself to us when He sees that we want to reach Him with genuine eagerness, our objective is to benefit from the blessings of His nearness, and we wish to establish a per- sonal relationship with Him in order to attain the heights of pro- gress—which is, after all, the purpose of human life. Therefore, develop true eagerness and passion, so that your efforts may be fruitful and your labour may achieve the purpose. The Promised Messiah as says: ی ہ خ رت راہ ِ تبحم ےس � ی وکیئ راہ زند� اس راہ ےس اسکل زہاروں دتش ِ اخر ی ےط رک� There is no path nearer than the path of love, Following which the seekers cross countless thorny deserts.
