Detachment and Caloric Intake

Question: We have comfort and convenience, along with ample wealth to lead a healthy life. However, the atmosphere in our home feels heavy, and the residents appear dispirited. Illnesses and physical ailments have taken a persistent toll on the family members, with one illness following another. There is a constant sense of unease within the household, and the family members often seem irritable, with minor disputes frequently escalating into heated arguments. An acquaintance suggested that someone may have engaged in paranormal activity against us, causing our unrest. We have tried various remedies on our own and even sought help from practitioners, but nothing has proven effective. I humbly request your assistance in resolving this situation through your spiritual guidance.

Answer: The environment in which a person lives inevitably impact their mind and body. If the environment is free from confusion and mental steadiness prevails, the divine lights within a person are spent more sparingly. These divine lights act as life forces, stored within every individual. The consumption of balanced use of these energies is a hallmark of a healthy life. According to medical Science energy (calories) is both created and consumed constantly. Essentially, a person needs nothing more than basic necessities in this world; it is up to them how much they immerse themselves in worldly affairs.

For example, consider a room with just a bed and another room furnished with a sofa set, cushions, a table, a carpet, etc. The principle is that when we focus on or look at something, its image is reflected on the screen of our mind, and this process consumes energy. When we are in the second room, the energy that should fuel life is wasted on the sofa set and carpet. Similarly, the energy necessary for life is consumed in the pursuit of numerous resources, maintaining them, and using them, and the monster of progress and status consumes a person, ultimately leading them to the mouth of death.

In order to lead a life filled with joy, peace, and health, it is crucial for a person to cultivate mental detachment. Along with creating space for detachment in the mind, it is also important to dedicate economic resources and means to the service of humanity, to create balance in relation to wealth. This practice will be immensely helpful in attaining detachment.


ROOHANI DAAK 01 (ENG)

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.
