REAL WAY TO PARADISE In order to become a true Muslim it is very essential that a man should mould his nature in such a way that his love for God and his obedience to Him should not be based on rewards and punishments, rather it should become a part and parcel of his nature. When that happens, his love for God will produce a Paradise for him and, in fact, this is the real Paradise. None can enter Paradise unless he treads on this path. I should like to· advise you-who have joined me -to enter the Paradise passing through this way, for, this way is the real way to the paradise. (Malfoozat Vol. III, p. 183) AN ADVICE I tell you the truth that God has afforded an opportu- nity to the goodnatured people. Blessed are those who try to be benefited by it. You who have joined me should not exult in the fact that you have attained to all that you had to. Of course, it is a fact that you are better than those who have disbelieved and belittled me and thus attracted the wrath of God. This also is true that you thought well of me and thus saved yourself from the anger of God. But still, this remains a fact that you have only reached the fountain- the spring-which God has now made to flow for eternal life; you have yet to drink from this spring. You· should pray to God that He may enable you to drink to your fill; nothing can be obtained without the help of God~ I know it for certain that whoever would drink from this spring will not perish, for, this water is life giving and it safeguards against destru- ction and it protects from the attacks of the satan. How can you drink from this spring to your fill? You can do so by performing the two duties that God has assigned to you: one, your duty towards your God, and two, your d•ity towards His creatures. 1 " ,
