occult Flourishing
English book, p. 86
By Maulana Wahiduddin Khan
Why do people turn to clairvoyance or the occult to solve their problems? it happens that frequently man comes face to face with the hard truth that the material resources at his command are insufficient; a desperate need for a prop to rely upon drives him towards some mysterious source. in this quest for unknown factors he could hold responsible for shaping events, man often attributes them to some human being like himself. however, this is nothing but an illusion. it is just turning toward something as powerless as he is and is no solution to the problem. The only thing that man can depend on is God. it is a pity that instead of accepting that visible resources are powerless, far from bringing man closer to the realization of this truth, has led him further away from his true destination. it has led him to the forgetfulness of his lord. he missed his chance even after being within its reach. having found a clue to assist him in apprehending the reality, he had, nevertheless, forfeited the opportunity to establish contact with it by turning toward a creature who is powerless in comparison with the all-Powerful God. God alone is the solution to his problems. God alone can serve his needs.
