Jab Roohani Parwaz Ruk Jaye To? - Maktoob 3 (Vol. 1) Shaykh Humayun Hanif

A lecture regarding Maktub No. 3 from the first volume of Maktubat-e-Imam-e-Rabbani (RA)*, written by *Sheikh Ahmad Sirhindi to his spiritual mentor, Hazrat Khwaja Baqi Billah (RA). The discussion highlights the necessity of maintaining unwavering respect and connection with one’s spiritual guide, regardless of how far a disciple progresses on the mystical path. It illustrates that even a figure as eminent as Shaykh Ahmad Sirhindi sought his teacher’s intervention to help students who had become spiritually stagnant. The text emphasises that a true mentor provides bespoke guidance tailored to each follower's capacity, distinguishing between the paths of the righteous (Abrar) and the near ones (Muqarrabin)**. Furthermore, the source warns that *spiritual leadership is a profound responsibility involving both external adherence to divine law and internal transformation through focused attention. Ultimately, the narrative serves as a reminder that the bond between teacher and seeker is a mutual commitment essential for navigating complex spiritual stations.
