What a beautiful plan the Creator has made! Life here is short— about 70 years. You have to prove yourself in those 70 years, after which you will receive life for eternity. You will be happy, eager to make the best use of these 70 years so that you can attain complete fulfilment. This is the Creation Plan of God—this is God’s scheme of things. Now, if someone asks: How can I believe this?—think about your mother. When you meet your mother, you never doubt for a second that she is your mother— even though you never saw yourself in your mother’s womb, nor did you see yourself being born. No one in the world has seen that, yet everyone believes without doubt. This means you have another capacity besides reason—and that is intuition. The greatest certainty you have—that this is my mother—comes through intuition. If you relied only on reason, you would never be certain. In the same way, intuition tells you with certainty that you will find your true habitat. You must now develop this faculty. Earlier, I lived in Azamgarh. I came to Delhi in 1967. At that time, I was writing a book—God Arises (in English) and Mazhab aur Jadeed Challenge (in Urdu). For that, I studied extensively, and rational arguments for God filled my mind. I remember meeting my neighbour Shah Naseer Sahib; he asked me: Can a person see God? Instantly I replied: Have you not seen God? My study of the subject had made my reason so alive that I felt I was seeing God. Today, by God’s grace, I have reached another stage—beyond reason—this is the age of intuition. At that time, reason made me see God. Now, my intuition is so alive that I see God everywhere, just as you see your mother and know she is your mother. The first thing I say is: Think about yourself—what are you? What are your desires? When your reason is alive, and your intuition The Quran says: “Every day He manifests Himself in a new state.” (55: 29) This means that we can understand something new about our Creator everyday.
