Riaz Ahmed Gohar Shahi

“ Two portions of the same crop were planted on the same piece of land. One part of the crop was exposed to music day and night and the other part was left unexposed to music. The crop exposed to the music was better in quality and appearance than the crop that was left unexposed to the music.
The Nafs, the spirit of the self is very dangerous. Even after it has been purified (illuminated) it always searches for excuses and it likes music and rythm. Some people have tried to attract the attention of the spirit of the self by singing and have then attempted to divert its direction towards God. ”

“ Amongst the Muslims and the other religions sufis (ascetics, seekers of spiritual knowledge and illumination) have attempted in many different ways to absorb the Name of God within themselves. An action that turns one towards God and increases the love for God is not wrong. ”
