Food for Thought on Youm Ashura
Today, the 10th of Muharram, reminds us of the shameful and horrendous events that transpired during the Battle of Karbala. It is a time to ponder and remember.
The following are comments from the Representative of Imam Mehdi, His Holiness Younus AlGohar, on this mournful day.
We mark the day of Youm Ashura, the 10th of Moharram. This is when the grandson of the Prophet Mohammad, Imam Hussain, was martyred. Imam Hussain was first betrayed by unenlightened Muslims of the city of Kufa. Then, Yazid bin Muawiyya killed him to confirm his place in the hell.
Had those Muslims been true followers of the Prophet Mohammad, they would not have killed the beloved grandson of the Prophet. There is no difference between Dajjal and a Muslim whose heart is not enlightened.
Imam Mehdi Syedna Gohar Shahi said that the history of the martyrdom of Hussain will be repeated, and this time the followers of Imam Mehdi would face the tyranny and oppression of the Muslims without Emaan (faith) in their hearts.
A true Muslim is one who loves the Prophet Mohammad more than his parents and all other human beings. How on earth can those call themselves Muslims who killed Hussain (whom the Prophet Mohammad loved so dearly)?
If a Muslim doesn't love the Prophet more than all else, that Muslim is a Munafiq (hypocrite). The core of Islam is the love of the Prophet Mohammad. It is very unfortunate that today's Muslims do not know how to love the Prophet Mohammad.
A man came running to the Prophet Mohammad. He asked how he could love God. The Prophet Mohammad said, 'Adopt calamity and trouble, because God has attached calamity and trouble with his love, so that fake claimants of love may keep off.'
Another man came and asked the Prophet how he could love the Prophet. The Prophet Mohammad said, 'Adopt the doctrine of Faqr (spirituality), because God has attached my love within Faqr.' How can a Muslim manage to love the Prophet Mohammad when he rejects the doctrine of Faqr?

NEW VIDEO: HH Younus AlGohar Answers Questions about Spirituality in Toronto, Canada
The following is the video transcript in which the Doctrine of Divine Love and Spiritual Sciences is explained through a Question & Answer Session.
We are here to share our knowledge with
you and share our energies. It is such a wonderful thing to see that some
people are creating a Universal Brotherhood, which is very rare to see in this
world today. It is only possible through means of spirituality. I travel all
around the world and we get to know many forms of spirituality. There are many
forms of spirituality: religious spirituality, divine spirituality,
non-religious spirituality and atheist spirituality; they have derived their
own meaning, their own understanding of spirituality. However, we do not go
into differences. We do not disagree to any philosophy which is based on
spirituality. We simply share our knowledge and our energies. The spirituality
that we practise is the core of spirituality, upon which the religion of
Prophet Adam is based, upon which the religion of the great Prophet Abraham is
based. This spirituality is found in the scriptures of high Universal Teachers
like Adam, Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Prophet Mohammad.
We believe and we understand that
spirituality is to do with the awakening of the souls and enlightenment of the
souls. The ultimate source of spirituality from where we are supposed to
receive the benevolence is God. So the concept of spirituality that we practice
is based on believing in God. It is non-religious: we have people from
different walks of life, we have people from different religions, and this is
kind of a spiritual brotherhood. Almost the same principle as your organisation
practices.
However our spirituality is like a
practice in which we awaken the souls, and this awakening comes from Lord Ra
Riaz Gohar Shahi. We do not say the only source is Gohar Shahi. There are many
great spiritual leaders in the world, and we can be in contact with extra-terrestrial
sources as well - like Moses, like Abraham, like Jesus, like Prophet Mohammad.
The thing is, are these dignitaries approachable today, accessible today? Once
- we believe - our souls are enlightened, our life is spiritualised and our souls
are energised, then we gain that access to the Spiritual Realm. We have been
spreading this message of love to all humanity, to people of all religions -
and we do not discriminate. We understand that unification and uniformity of
all assorted people who come from different cultural, religious and spiritual
backgrounds will have to have a bond and that bond has to be really profound.
According to a Chinese Proverb, ‘Talks do not cook rice.’
For us, in order to
form a great Universal Brotherhood, we need to have a bond which can tie
everybody into a fold. We speak different languages, we come from different
ethnicities and we come from different religious backgrounds. Something has to be
really solid, extraordinary - something really strong that can bind all these
assorted people into one greater fold of brotherhood. We understand that this
bond is the bond of Spiritual Love.
When the hearts are enlightened and we begin to share the same type of energy in all hearts, then unification will come; when all the hearts are binding into each other with the same type of energy, with same type of spiritual path, then that will be the beginning of the real brotherhood. This is our concept, which means we do not disagree - because there are many philosophies in this world and many ways, many dimensions. We are open to receiving more knowledge of spirituality. Whether it comes from Judaism, whether it comes from Hinduism, whether it comes from Sufism, we are open to all. That’s all I would like to say today.

If there are things that need to be
cleared or any questions, I would like you to please ask.
Q
& A SESSION
Q1) Your Holiness, how would you define
or how do you understand the Golden Era?
A1) Golden Era - there have been
124,000 prophets and messengers who have come into this world. Whenever there
was a Universal Master like Abraham, Moses, Jesus and Prophet Mohammad, at that
moment, that era was golden. And now, according to all these great religions
like Judaism, Hinduism, Christianity and Islam, the final Golden Era is awaited.
That will be the time when the Awaited One comes into this world, He unifies
the entire humanity and all the religions will mingle into one great religion:
the religion of peace, the religion of love, in which all human beings will
love God and their hearts will be filled with the presence of God. This Awaited
One is known as Messiah in Judaism and Kalki Avatar in Hinduism and Mehdi in
Islam. That will be the Golden Era to my understanding.
Q2) Your Holiness, following what you
were saying about the Messiah coming to unite everybody, could you elaborate -
what is it that each individual person has to do? Because living in the Western
World and having been raised in the Western World – to me I was brought up in
separation. I would see people as different from me and everything different
was scary, was frightening. I had to judge it; I had to be careful of it. So I
lived a big part of my life in fear and I think maybe other people can relate
to that. So for me to conclude that there is something I have to do within
myself to be actually able to hear or see whatever message is coming and then
to discern also, not to just become a blind follower - because we have that enough
and that really didn’t help humanity much in my opinion. Please give us some
guidance as to what every individual – what can I do to really recognise that
which unites versus have my little mind tell me, ‘I do not know you, better not
listen.’ You know what I am trying to get at? Thank you.
A2) One important thing in
spirituality (I will answer your question during the course of my answer) is to
understand what is spirituality. In order to understand what is spirituality,
we must begin with ourselves. There are two dimensions of a human being: inner
man and outer man. Outer man is referred to the physical body and inner man is
the soul.
When God created all the souls, all the
souls were assembled before God and when all the souls were assembled before God,
God showed them the luxuries of this world. It was said unto the souls, ‘Whoever
wishes to get these luxuries of the world, they may go and get it.’ A magnitude
of souls leapt towards it and it was then said to the angels, 'Write this
choice as their fate,' and then it was written in the book of their fate. Following
that, God showed the souls the luxuries of paradise and then it was said, ‘Those
who want the luxuries of paradise, they should go and get it.’ A large number
of souls leapt towards the luxuries of the paradise. This became their fate.
There was another group of souls who were looking at both sides - luxuries of
the world and luxuries of the paradise - and they were indecisive. They were not convinced which way to go. So
their option, their choice was suspended.
Now it is the soul who should have the
desire to love, desire to be unified with God. Some of those souls did not move
an inch from God. They stood there, they didn’t want to see anything; they are
the predestined God-loving souls. And among from those souls, messengers, prophets
and saints were sent. Our souls did not have the body. A soul is sent and a
body is created in the womb of a mother. This is how we become a human being.
Our problem is that when we choose to
practice spirituality, we are doing it by our body and with that practice of
spirituality, our spirits are not enlightened. Our spirits are not awakened.
Like we have eyes of our body, in a similar way we have inner eyes. Like ears,
we have spiritual ears as well. What we must do today is we must awaken our
souls and get connected with God. When the soul is connected to God, that is
our destination. And as soon as we are connected to God, our inner eye will
begin to see what our physical eye cannot see. When our inner ears are
activated then they will hear the voice of God, then they will hear the voice
of angels. They will hear everything what our physical ears cannot hear. Every day
and every night God speaks. He speaks to angels and he says, ‘Is there anybody
in this world who wants to love me? Is there anybody in this world who wants my
blessings?’ But the problem is our inner ears cannot hear that ethereal voice
of God. What we must do is to awaken the power of spiritual hearing. What we
must do to activate our inner eye and that will automatically happen when our
soul is enlightened, when our soul is spiritualised. In order to sustain life
in our body, we consume food every day. In a similar way, we need spiritual
nourishment for the soul as well. You see the problem is, the soul needs
spiritual nourishment and we do not know how to feed our souls. In the temples,
in the mosques, in the churches we call upon the name of God but we are doing
it by word of mouth; and that practice, that ritual, does not enter the
spiritual heart. It does not enter the soul. We need to find a way through
which we are able to give that spiritual nourishment, to give that spiritual
sustenance to the soul. The one who can actually open the mouth of the soul and
awaken the soul is a Perfect Spiritual Teacher. That is what we need today.
Messiah Foundation International is
spreading this message and giving assistance to people that if they call upon
His Holiness Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi, they will find a Spiritual Teacher. The
services of His Holiness Gohar Shahi are without making any commitment, without
embracing any religion - it is non-religious. When that soul is enlightened,
then we will have the inner eye, the inner ears. When you are connected to God,
you will have that spiritual content. All those people in this world who are
connected to God, they will begin to recognise you; they will begin to
understand that you are one of those people who are connected to God. By virtue
of this, by the same token, as many souls are connected to God, it will be
forming a great Universal Order where people will recognise the presence of God
in each other’s heart in each other’s presence. So, we need that inner eye, we
need that inner tongue. Here in this world, we call upon God but God does not
listen to this voice, because God is spiritual. We need a tongue which can
speak the language of God, and that tongue is the tongue of the soul. When the
soul is enlightened, all the spiritual faculties, all the spiritual departments
of the soul will be activated and we will be in touch with God.
We feel uneasy today. We do not have
peace in this world today. We have everything. People have money; people have
all the luxuries of life, people have temples, churches and mosques and all
these scriptures, but even then we feel uneasy in our souls because the
destination of the soul is God.
The soul will feel contented only when the soul
is connected to God, is able to speak with God and is able to see God, the
manifestation of God. I hope I answered your question.
Q3) Namaste, I want to ask a question
and at the same time I want to say hello from my heart to all my brothers and
sisters here - some of who we know each other, sometimes we forget each other.
Very humbly, I say I could not agree more with everything you say. Very humbly
also, some of us have been devoted to this universal spirituality, universal
brotherhood. It has been our vision that all religions have been doing some
good and even people who are atheists - I happen to live in a very atheistic
country - they do feel that religion plays a certain role. I remember that
atheistic country where I was born, my mother used to tell me, 'You know son,
religions were good because at least they told people not to steal, not to kill
and even though most of them did it for their own reason because they were
afraid of punishment, hell, and they wanted some reward in heavens.'
So, my very humble question is, how
these authentic people that I look around here, that I know some of them, how
people who really want to connect with God, speak the language of God, really
acknowledge and recognise the divinity in each and every soul - what do you
think is the need of the hour for those of us, all of us here I think probably,
that really do want to commit to the spiritual path and want to live authentic
lives and do not want to get far from God? Maybe this word is a western word
and maybe does not express too much but I see that the reason, theistic – and
we call theistic in Spanish: teísta, a very theistic approach of your words,
like 'God'. You know, 'Dios' is God. So, I do love that having this great love
for God, under whatever name or form, whether Eshwar or Brahma or Vishnu or you
know everything.
So, at the same time we have these messengers, right? You know
Buddha, Lord Jesus, Matsya, Kalki Avatar, so what would be the role for us to
really play? How should we behave, how should we act? And I remember some words
that are attributed to Master Jesus when he said, 'Then give to Caesar that
which is Caesar’s and give to God that which is God’s.' So, we will love to
give the Avatar a place and at the same time we want to give God a place that
God deserves in our heart. So please if you could elaborate a little more on
[that] so we can have a clear picture and try to remember each day. Thank you
very much.
A3) I would like to talk about the
religions and the reason why people today have distanced themselves from the
practice of religions. Some people say, 'Religions are evil.' Some other say, 'Religions
are important.' But I understand that religions when they were founded, when
they were established, they were established by great Universal Teachers and I
do not see anything wrong with religions. All the religions are good. The
religion of Adam, the religion of Prophet Abraham, the father of prophets and
then the religions established by Lord Jesus Christ, and then the religion of
Islam founded by Prophet Mohammad - they are all beautiful religions. However
there was a time upon every religion after which the religions stopped
benefiting people, and that time was when people shunned the practice of
spirituality which was attached to their religion.
You see we have problems, these days
especially from some people who call themselves Muslims. There are 73 different
denominations within Islam. Some people continue to say, 'Islam is the religion
of peace, Islam does not propagate terrorism,' but some other people from the
same religion will continue to support terrorism. So, we have a problem and
these two different points cannot come from the same religion. One group says, 'Islam
is peace,' and another group says, 'Kill everybody who doesn’t believe in
Islam.' This is because there have been denominations within Islam. When people
stopped the practice of spirituality in a certain religion and they distanced
themselves from the core, fundamental principle of that religion, and they
modified the divine text - then we started to have problems. Religion by itself
is not evil. It is the evil people who found some pretext, modified the divine
text and started their own conceived form of religion. Islam is a beautiful
religion and, definitely, Islam does not teach terrorism. Prophet Mohammad said,
'Killing one man is equal to killing the entire humanity.' No offence to
anybody, I am just explaining.
Islam is a beautiful religion, it
teaches peace and it teaches Divine Love, and at the same time Christianity is
a beautiful religion. You have Lord Jesus Christ, the mightiest healer in the
world, who touched the blind and they began to see. People who died, he touched
them and life was restored in their body. Then we have Moses and then we have
Lord Buddha, Krishna, Rama. These are all beautiful people and beautiful
religions, but the problem is in every religion there are many people who have
not been designed by God to adopt those religions. They are the souls of
hatred. But somehow or other they entered these religions and they are
promoting hatred. No religion is bad at all. This is my finding. According to
my spiritual findings there is no religion - obviously, all these religions
were established by prophets and messengers who were sent by God, so no divine
text can be wrong. Hinduism, Islam is a beautiful religion but the problem is
people who are not destined by God to love, who are not destined by God to make
a spiritual, healthy choice of life, those who fell prey to the doctrine of
hatred, those who fell prey to the doctrine of temptation or evil, they can
call themselves Hindus and Muslims, but fundamentally speaking, they are the
preachers of hatred. Now that is one thing about religion.
Coming back to your question, how do we
connect ourselves with God? We are living in this world where there is no trace
of God. We go to temples but we do not see God sitting there. We go to a mosque
but we do not see God sitting there either. We go to churches and synagogues.
These are places of worship but no one has ever seen God sitting in a temple.
Jesus said, ‘How can you find God in a house which you made with your hands?
Find God in your heart. Make your heart the temple of God.’ The question is,
when we do not have a trace of God, how do we get connected to God?
Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi said, 'With
the practice of the inner enchantment of God’s name, firstly we need to
synchronise God’s name in the beating system of our heart. When God’s name is
synchronised in the beating system of our heart, it starts to generate Divine
Light and that Divine Light will enlighten the heart.'
His Holiness said, ‘God does not look
at your faces, your bodies, your actions and deeds. God looks at your heart.
And when the heart has become enlightened and shining, then one day it will
come under the merciful sight of God.’
God sees his friends and all the
Universal Teachers every day, but sometimes he wants to look at the common
people, the common folks; and he only looks at those people whose hearts are
enlightened and shining. At night time, we look at the sky and whichever planet
or star is shining, we see it. Yet we do not know their name. In a similar way,
when the hearts are enlightened, God will start to love you. He will not ask
you a question, ‘Are you a Muslim? Are you a Hindu? Are you a Christian?’ As
long as your heart is enlightened, God will love you. The way to enlighten the
heart is to synchronise the mantra, the real name of God. It doesn’t matter
what specific name or what name you use to call upon God. You may call upon God
saying Rama, Krishna, Hari, God, Eloha, Eloham, or whatever name you use to
call upon God in your language. What is important is to synchronise that name
in the beating system of the heart, only then God’s name will produce Divine
Energy. How does it feel when you are sleeping in your bed and your heart,
non-stop, is proclaiming the name of God? You are sleeping in your bed and your
heart is busy with God. That is the initial spiritual practice with the virtue
of which you begin to produce Divine Energy. Then, what will happen when the
heart will start to produce Divine Energy, that Divine Energy will mingle in
the bloodstream and the entire blood in our body will become synchrosnied with
God’s power, with God’s name. This is where the soul begins to enlighten, the
soul begins to awaken. Within a matter of a few days you will see, having
obtained initiation, you will see something is going on in your heart. You are
not engaged in any physical activity, yet your heartbeats are rising and that
rise in your heartbeats will be due to the fact that God’s name is now being
synchronised in your heart.
Initiation of the Heart is available. I
can initiate whoever is willing, with any name, Rama, Krishna, God, Jesus, all
these beautiful names. But they must enter the heart in order to produce
results, and this is spirituality. Anything said with this tongue is not
spirituality, because this is not our spirit. Spirit is our inside. It has to
be done by the spirit. This is how you will begin to have the presence of God
in you and around you. I hope I answered your question.
Q4) You are on a mission of love and
also wanting to enlighten our hearts and our souls. Could you talk about the
difference and similarity between love and the light of God? Somehow the light
of God enlightens us and the love of God links us and binds us.
A4) There are many different types of
light that relate to God. The lowest level of light which we can produce
initially is the Light of God which we produce by the practice of the
repetition of God’s name when it is done inside the heart. Light is not
actually light like this, that comes from bulbs or tube lights. The Divine
Light is a form of energy. God’s name is like a tablet which has energy in it;
but God’s name in all scriptures, whether the scripture is from the Christian
religion or Hindu religion, any text that came from God has Divine Energy in
it. Like Vedas, Bhagwad Geeta, Bible, Torah, Talmud, Quran, the texts of all
these holy books have Divine Energy in them, but we do not know how to encode,
how to use these Divine Scriptures and how to produce light.
Lord Ra Riaz said, ‘Anything from these
divine texts, when they enter the heart, the heart will convert those texts
into Divine Energy.’
So the factory of light is the heart.
When the Bible goes into the heart, it will convert it into Divine Energy. When
the Quran goes into the heart, the heart will convert it to Divine Energy. When
Torah, Talmud and Bhagwad Geeta enter the heart, the heart will turn them into
Divine Energy. This is Divine Energy and we need Divine Energy to awaken and
strengthen our souls.
Then love is a greater thing. In order
to understand Divine Love, we should be in contact with God. Obviously I cannot
treat God like I treat my wife. I love my children, I love my father, I love my
brother, but the love we have for God is a different type of love. We haven’t
seen God, but once we have seen God and know God, then we will know what kind
of love is given to God. People talk about Divine Love but only when you see
God, then you will find out what is it that God likes, what is it that he
doesn’t like and what is it that he wants me to do for him. Only then we will
know what is Divine Love. But there are people who are in contact with God and
there are stories. They say love is a very strong feeling of attraction. When
somebody sees God for the first time (I am giving you a very inappropriate
example here but excuse me saying it) when we walk out into the mall and see
beautiful women and girls, sometimes we see some really extraordinary beautiful
women and we are just struck, 'Wow, that’s beauty.' We are attracted somehow or
another. In a similar way, God is so charismatic, God is so beautiful.
I cannot give you an example how beautiful
God is, because there is nobody like God. So you get to know how beautiful God
is only when you see God. But when you see God, God is so beautiful and full of
spiritual charisma and spiritual glamour. I don’t know what people would do
when they see God for the first time, but when you see God, you just want to
jump into God. You want to hug him and you want to cuddle with him. You want to
lose yourself in the entity of God and this attraction is not something from
you. This happens to you when you are in the presence of God. God is so
charismatic.
You are terribly affected by the presence of God and you just want
to lose yourself in the presence of God. This attraction, this very powerful
emotional attraction is love. When you have seen God, you are lost. You want to
see him all the time.
When you see God, you want to get into him like a tiny
baby. The babies want to cuddle the mother and want to hide themselves
somewhere under the arms of the mother. Similarly, when you see God, you don’t
want to go anywhere else, you just want to get into God somehow or other and
that very feeling is the feeling of love.
As soon as this feeling happens to your
heart, all the human instincts you have are then superseded by this feeling of
love. Once you have been through this overwhelming, spiritual, ecstatic
experience of seeing God, then you become an embodiment of God on earth.
God’s
attributes overpower your human characteristics and you become so loving, you
become humble. You don’t know hatred then. You do not discriminate. People sit
in your company and they feel it's like sitting with God. People will begin to
see the attributes of God manifesting through your character. The words fail me
to explain further what is God’s love; but I can just tell you, it's terrible!
Q5) Hearing you describe the feeling of
being God, but would you say it’s like, like I remember being dead. Let’s put
it this way, I have no words to say what happened, but excuse me for the grave
way it comes out. So then the body was lying on the floor, the ambulance
carrying it away, I saw the people, the neighbours were all upset, and then I
am in this space of nothingness and I want to cover my eyes because it was so
bright. Then I realise I have no body so I went from yes, I am dead the misery
is over to 'Oh my god! Where am I?' And then in the distance where the point of
light headed was there is this person talking - and I am not arguing with you,
please forgive me, whether God is a girl or a boy or both I don’t know - but
the voice I couldn’t distinguish what it is, all I knew is that there was a
pull as you were describing. As if you and I are connected with rubber and you
are stronger than me and you are just pulling me.
-Something
was pulling you?-
-Yes, and then I am standing there and
going 'Yeah, yeah, yeah. Hmm...okay if you say so.' I didn’t feel rejected, I
just felt sent somewhere. But, before that I felt this cuddly thousand cashmere
sweaters kind of hug, since I came close to that side - like woollen soft
sweaters. Can you elaborate about that feeling because I am totally lost for
words?
A5) When the souls are spiritually
grown up, so to speak, and when they are strong enough to travel to the Realm
of God, and they are able to perform this Spiritual Journey, the body is left
behind. It doesn’t mean you're dead. But because the soul comes out of the body
and the body cannot travel to God, by the angels the soul is taken out and it
is then taken to different realms. This journey continues and in these
different realms there are different attributes of God that you are introduced,
and then the spiritual advancement and then you come to another Realm of God.
If you saw this, this was shown to you that you can travel there. Before you
find union with God, the soul is temporarily separated from the body, but it
doesn’t mean you are dead because normally the soul is only separated at the
time of death. However, there is a saying of Prophet Mohammad, 'Die before your
time,' which means, 'The soul which will leave your body at the time of death,
why don’t you empower your soul and strengthen your soul that it should leave
your body before your death arrives and see God?' This can be easily attributed
with that near death experience. A lot of people who are on this Spiritual Path,
they go through this kind of experience. It is a beautiful experience, it’s a
wonderful experience. How did you feel afterwards?
Disassociated from my life before.
That’s good.
I didn’t recognise anything about my
life. I was in my own home with my children, with the clothes I used to wear
and the furniture I used to sit in and I didn’t recognise any of it. It took me
a long time to integrate whatever happened into functioning in 3D.
That’s exactly what I was explaining a
moment ago. You have two different dimensions, inner and outer dimension. This
novice feeling, this newer feeling was the realisation of the soul which was
alien to the feeling of the body. When the soul is going through the process of
realisation, that realisation is different from the realisation of the body. To
yourself, you look like an alien to yourself, because this was the inner
realisation which was alien to the outer realisation. But when the entire
system is synchronised spiritually, then both realisations will find a union
and you will be in perfect spiritual harmony.
Q6) Hi, your Holiness, my heart is
jumping. I am so excited for this event, even before today. The question
regarding the initiation is: will we be able to practise or have time for
whatever happens after, because the day is so busy. We have a busy life. We are
mothers; we are daughters, wives and everyday goes so fast. I don’t want to
compromise myself on something I will not follow after. Thank you.
A6) The initiation that I am talking
about, if you carry on this practice – you are already doing a good job, a
great Universal Brotherhood, and you should be thankful to him, he is doing a
wonderful job – there is initiation and then there is a spiritual follow-up. If
you practice that and keep on doing that practice, then you will be in touch
spiritually. You will continue to have your spiritual growth and spiritual
nourishment.
What does it require from me to
practise?
Willingness: that’s all required today.
If you are willing to receive this initiation, all you need to do is to choose
the name of God that you want to go into your heart and then I will simply ask
you to repeat after me three times. Then your heart will be initiated, that’s
all. Thereafter, whenever you are in need of help, then call upon my Master
Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi and He will come for all kinds of spiritual help.
His Holiness Gohar Shahi said, 'In
order to find God, call upon all the great Spiritual Masters and teachers. But
for any reason, if they do not appear before you to help you, then put Gohar
Shahi to test and call upon Him.' So He will definitely help you. This is
wonderful because there is no commitment. You are not going into any religion
or any faith.
If you look at the image of the Master
and now repeat with the word of mouth, 'Dios, Dios, Dios' (Spanish for God).
What you need to do now, the target is to send this name into the beating
system of the heart. So, when you go to bed, put you palm on your heart and
feel the beats and with every beat, say the name, 'Dios, Dios, Dios.' If your
beats are faster, you have to say it faster. This is a small practice and you
will see in a few days, 2-3 days, maybe one day, you will not need to say it
with your mouth. You will see your heart is saying 'Dios' [not from the tongue,
from the heart]. Whenever you are free, check your pulse and with your pulse
say, 'Dios, Dios, Dios.' Then in a few days, you will see you don’t have to say
it anymore, it is coming out of your heart. When it is coming out of your
heart, that is the initial stage. Now you are in spirituality. Now your heart
is initiated and now your heart has turned into a factory which is producing
Divine Light non-stop.

HDE Lord Gohar Shahi Lights the Lamp of Love
The Goharian Concept of God!
The religions have depicted a more judgemental image of God in which God rewards the pious ones and punishes the disobedient ones. A sense of fear prevails in the mind-set of a religious person. Worship performed under fear of wrath and punishment or worship performed for the desire and greed of paradise is void of sincerity and it doesn’t attract God’s pleasure. The religions paint of an image of God that doesn’t seem to seek sincerity and love in acts of the servants. Perhaps the religions do not look beyond worship and servitude as a form of relationship between man and God.
His Divine Eminence Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi unveils the most powerful and dominating character of God which is love. His Holiness invites humanity to explore God’s nature of love.
His Divine Eminence Lord Ra Riaz Gohar Shahi appears to ignore sins of the servants, and seems more prone to enrich the hearts of men with God’s love and nearness. HDE Lord Gohar Shahi sets men free of being afraid and frightened of God. HDE Lord Gohar Shahi advises men to develop an amiable cordial relationship with God eliminating the greed factor from the core of servitude. HDE Lord Gohar Shahi has emphasised on obtaining God’s love so much so that His Following hardly remembers the concept of heaven and hell.
Picture Quote: Love Requires Self-Denial
'Love requires self-denial, hence only those manage to love someone who manage to negate themselves.' - His Holiness Younus AlGohar
