Salman Spiritual
Towards the Inner Vision of the Truth
"Alif. Lam. Ra. (This is) a Scripture which We have revealed unto thee (Muhammad) that thereby thou mayst bring forth mankind from darkness unto light." — Holy Qur'an 14:1
Gem No. 18: What is the best time to be in the company of the Holy Imam?
Ya Ali Madad! This post has five parts.
Part 1. Knowledge Section on Bandagi:
I will answer the above question with a couple of verses from Pir Sadardin's Nur vela nur piyo ginan:
| Eji | Nur vela nur piyo Aa(n)hi kariyo man aanand ji Pop vela raakho Shah Pirsu(n) sambandh ji
Tame Jaago jaago bhaida |
|
| O brother! | At the time of enlightenment (i.e., at Noorani time), experience (drink) the Light and make your heart (soul) joyful. At the time of the blooming (of the soul), establish relationship with the Lord and the Guide through Ism Azam.
O brothers! remain continuously awake |

| Eji | Bhane Pir Sadardin Hi joog paachhali raheni Sat keri vaat koi virle jaañi
Tame Jaago jaago bhaida |
|
| O brother! | Pir Sadardin teaches: this existence (in the company of the Guide) is like the last portion of the night (the dawn). Very few courageous souls have known the True Path.
O brothers! remain continuously awake |

Let us now read the following teaching of Imam Sultan Muhammad Shah (a.s.):
"Imâmnâ jâhêr nurnê jovani eechhâ râkhtâvo to tê ibadâtmâ hoee shakay chhê. Ibâdatmâ daroj ek kalak besvu(n) têni badhi samaj tamnê missionario âpshê."
Literal translation: If you are yearning to see the manifested Light, then it is possible to achieve this through ibadat (bandagi). You should sit in ibadat for one hour every day. The missionaries (wazeen) can provide you with the necessary knowledge on this topic.
(Mumbai, 6-1- 1950)
All praise is due to NOOR Mowlana Hazar Imam for his infinite mercy and tayid to complete the recitation of Anant Nâ Nav Chhugâ in Baitul Khyal before bandagi and for completing this 18 posting project on the topic of Ibadat (bandagi). May we all be blessed with Noorani Didar in our foreheads! Ameen.
