BarĀhĪn-e-a H madiyya — Part three 254 In short, these men of God are a mercy for the creatures of God. As it is the divine law of nature in this world of cause and effect that a thirsty one slakes his thirst by drinking water, and a hungry one sat- isfies the pangs of hunger by eating food; in the same way, by Divine Law, Prophets and their perfect followers become the ways and means of healing spiritual ills. Hearts obtain satisfaction in their company, impurities of human nature begin to recede, darknesses of the ego are lifted, zeal of love for the Divine surges, and heavenly blessings mani- fest their splendour. Without them, none of this can be achieved, and these are their special signs by which they are recognized. فتدبر و ال تغفل [So ponder over this matter and be not heedless]. [—Author]
