ROAD TO ALLAH

Once, Hazrat Baayazeed Bustaami (Rahmatullahi alayh) saw Allah Ta’ala in a dream. He petitioned:

“O My Rabb! Show me the nearest road leading to You.”

Allah Ta’ala replied:

“O Abaa Yazeed! Leave your nafs and come.”

Therefore, the quickest way to reach Allah Ta’ala is by opposing one’s desires, i.e. by eliminating the ego.

Consider yourself as non-existent and eradicate pride from you.

Do not dispute in the Laws of Allah Ta’ala because this constitutes the barrier between Allah and His servant.

If these evils have been expelled, then you have become Waasil (reached the Divine Proximity).

(Hadhrat Hakimul Ummat Maulana Thanwi Rahmatullahi Alayh)
