Question:
In the last few months, I have been encountering situations that have left me
both astonished and confused. Frequently, when I lie down alone and contemplate
a certain subject, an unexpected and extraordinary thought will arise in my
mind. Remarkably, a few days later, this thought materializes into reality.
Here are two examples: One day, I suddenly had the thought that I should cease
communication with those around me. I was bewildered by this strange thought
that entered my mind. A few days later, the people around me stated, "Do
not speak to us anymore," and thus, our communication ceased.
More recently, I attended a job interview at a factory. The next day, I was
informed that I had passed the interview and was invited to come to work. After
returning home, I lay down, and an unusual thought came to my mind: "What
if there is a fire in the factory, and I become trapped?" This thought
caused a subtle wave of fear to surge within me. Despite the fear, I gathered
my courage and went to work the following day. Shortly after, a fire broke out
in the factory, and the section where I was working was engulfed in flames. The
fire was intense, but with perseverance, I managed to escape the danger.
This heightened intuitive ability, which seems to manifest unexpectedly, has
caused me considerable mental distress. On one hand, it is a rare and valuable
ability that few possess, yet on the other hand, the mental turmoil it
generates has left me in a state of bewilderment and concern. I seek your
guidance in understanding and managing this phenomenon.
Answer:
It is indeed remarkable that an ability which typically requires years of
disciplined effort and spiritual exertion has spontaneously manifested within
you. However, this has led to a state of mental disarray. In the domain of
spirituality, there is an established principle that when a disciple’s mental
and spiritual training is not properly developed before the awakening of such
powers, it can lead to considerable psychological disruption. In other words,
an ability that should be a divine blessing can, in such circumstances,
transform into a mental burden. This phenomenon underscores the importance of
receiving proper spiritual guidance. It is essential to study esoteric
knowledge under the supervision of a master who possesses deep insight into the
intricacies of the human mind and soul. Such a mentor can help channel these
abilities effectively, ensuring they contribute positively rather than lead to
mental chaos.
Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi
Nearly three decades ago, the esteemed spiritual scholar and blessed guide, Khwaja Shamsuddin Azeemi (R.A), inaugurated a mission of public service with the objective of liberating humanity from afflictions, psychological distress, and physical ailments. For ten years, he remained in contemplative retreat, silently advancing this sacred commitment to the service of creation (khidmat-e-khalq). As the hearts of the people began turning toward him, he employed the medium of mass communication. In 1969, this initiative was formally introduced to the public through newspapers and spiritual journals. According to conservative estimates, through written correspondence and face-to-face interaction—particularly via national publications and the Roohani Digest—Hazrat Azeemi has extended spiritual guidance and healing to over 1.4 million men and women, addressing intricate personal crises and intractable medical conditions. Today, it is not uncommon that wherever a few individuals gather, and a seemingly insoluble dilemma or incurable illness is mentioned, someone inevitably suggests: “Establish contact with Azeemi Sahib—the matter will be resolved.”
Through the grace of Allah the Almighty, the spiritual affinity with the Prophet (P.B.U.H), and the continued beneficence of the blessed guide, four volumes of Roohani Daak (Spiritual Correspondence) have now been compiled. The first volume is hereby presented to you for contemplation and benefit.
