Bismillahir Rahmanir Rahim
In the name of Allah, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful.
Ya Ali Madad! This post has three parts.
1. Selected verses from beautiful ginans of our Holy Pirs;
2. Knowledge Section; and
3. Angelic Salwat Dhikr.
Part 1a: Teachings on Being Imam Conscious
The following two verses of ginan are taken from Pir Sadardin's Sab ghat Sami maaro bharpur betha:
Eji | Jem fulu(n) maa(n)he vaas tiyu(n) moro saa(n)iya Tame ghaafal dur ma dekho Ek ji o ji, jirebhai re |
8 |
O Brother | As is the fragrance in the flowers, so is my Lord present in your hearts. O you ignorant people! Do not conceive Him to be away from you. He is the only Glorious, O brother. |

Eji | Sab ghat Sami maaro haathesu(n) neda-ne Sab ghat bharpur betha Ek ji o ji, jirebhai re |
10 |
O Brother | In every individual my Lord is nearer than the hand and in every individual He is fully present. He is the only Glorious, O brother. |

Part 1b: Teachings on Being Ethical
The following three verses of ginan are taken from Sayyed Imamshah's Hetesu(n) milo maara munivaro:
Eji | Hetesu(n) milo maara munivaro Ane mukhe te saachi vaani bolo Nito nit darshan kije devna Bhai sutak paatak kholo |
1 |
O Brother: | With love have a gathering, O my believers and speak from your mouths only the truth. Everyday (enjoy or seek) the Vision of the Lord. Brother open up your sins and irreligious activities (for repentance and purification). |

Eji | Purav poon vina kiyaa(n)thi paamiye Ane saacho te satpanth saar Satpanth padaarath paamiye Bhai jo dil hove paak |
3 |
O Brother: | Without complete and perfect deeds, how can one attain (the spiritual benefits)? The essence of the True Path is the Truth. One can only attain the substance and the mysteries of the True Path if the heart is pure. |

Eji | Bhane Sayyed Imamshah suno rnunivaro Ane dekho achambe saar Chheli te naav kaljoogni Bhai imaani utarshe paar |
10 |
O Brother: | Sayyed Imaamshaah teaches, listen believers. Consider this astonishing mystery. The last boat of the present era (the Holy Imam) is already here. Brothers, only the faithful ones will cross the ocean of this material existence (by boarding into the spirituality of the Holy Imam). |

It is quite clear from the above verses that a person who is Imam conscious is always ethical. Try this experiment by yourself. Imagine that four people are sitting at the table and having some conversation. It could be a variety of topics. This is a very normal situation. Now ask everybody to imagine that Mowlana Hazar Imam has joined the group at the table. By doing this, you have invited Mowlana Hazar Imam in your consciousness. It would seem that now there are five people at the table. Continue the conversation and also observe its quality. Have fun!
Part 2: What is the background for taqwa (piety, righteousness) and how does it bring the blessing of higher spirituality and didar?
In order to answer this question, let us study the following:
In his firman to the Bombay Jamat on November 27, 1973, NOOR Mowlana Shah Karim Al-Hussaini (a.s.) said:
"...That you should have pure souls and clean hearts is fundamental to you, but it is also as fundamental to the Jamat – fundamental in the sense that you will live cleanly, properly and as you should in relation to your families, your Jamats and the country in which you are living. And if you fulfill your material responsibilities and you are ethical in your material lives, it will improve the general condition of the Jamat and it will improve yourselves. Because he who cheats, he who lies, he who behaves in an immoral manner, what is he doing? He is harming not only himself but also the Jamat. And I want you to be well aware that in fulfilling your spiritual and your physical or material responsibilities as you should, you are not only improving your own personal condition but you are improving that of the Jamat as a whole."
Part 3. Angelic Salwat
Let us recite angelic salwats to invoke Divine grace and mercy.
