By Ml Ashraf Ali Thanwi RA

Even if people do have some conscience of pursuing pious company, they either drift to someone who lacks the complete (spiritual) treasure and he himself is in need of spiritual enhancement or they search for a person who performs supernatural feats even though he fails to perform his Salâh!

The belief that a saint's word is destined to materialise

Some people affiliate themselves with saints to gain some worldly benefit. Many are under the notion that whatever he utters is bound to occur.

Remember! Nothing lies in the authority of the saints. Save Duâs, there's nothing else they can do. There was a saint in a place called Pili Bheet. An old lady once approached him and gave an account of her constrained circumstances. The Saint ordered one of his servants to tell her:- "May Allâh Ta'âla be gracious and may he shower his mercy." The servant transmitted the message to the old lady thus:- He says: "Allâh 'will' be gracious and merciful." On hearing the message being transmitted, the pious person became so agitated and restless that he retorted: "When did I say that Allâh "will"? What authority do I hold in such matters? I am nothing. Go at once again and tell her: "May Allâh be gracious."

So ponder over the above incident. The saints consider themselves to be in need and helpless. These are saints in the true sense of the word but many don't consider them as such.

In short, even if we do seek pious company, we tend to be foolish. Our condition as described by a poet is thus: - "When you are hungry, you become a dog and when you start eating you become fierce and surly."

In other words, you had no inclination to pursue pious company. Even if you do seek pious company, it is for worldly gain. Your pursuit of worldly gain from religious people is a gross error indeed. Only religious benefit should be the motive behind the pursuit of pious company.

When the store manager returned from lunch, he noticed his clerk's hand was bandaged. Before he could ask about the bandage, the clerk said he had some very good news for him.

"Guess what, sir?" the clerk said. "I finally sold that terrible, ugly suit we've had so long!"

"Do you mean that repulsive pink-and-blue double-breasted thing?" the manager asked.

"That's the one!"

"That's great!" the manager cried, "I thought we'd never get rid of that monstrosity! That had to be the ugliest suit we've ever had! But tell me. Why is your hand bandaged?"

"Oh," the clerk replied, "after I sold the guy that suit, his guide dog bit me."
