In this enlightening episode, delve deep into the timeless teachings of Babaji Barkat Ali قَدَّسَ اللّهُ سِرَّهُ الْعَزِيز as shared by our host on January 26th, 1991.

The discussion unveils profound insights like the metaphor of the nightingale and the moth, illustrating the difference between a long life spent in praises and a life brief but consumed with divine love. Such love transcends all fears and worldly attachments, pointing to the true love of Allah, the unconditional and absolute reality.
We explore sayings that compare birds like the crow and the eagle, drawing lessons on purity, wisdom, and predestination, with pearl-eating mythical creatures symbolizing those chosen by Allah to understand divine truths. Babaji’s teachings remind us that Satan, once a devout worshiper, lacked profound love, highlighting the supremacy of heart over intellect in spiritual ascension.

Through the remembrance of Allah, one achieves a special kind of eternal life, beyond physical death, living on through deeds and the hearts they touch.
The episode closes with reflections on the essence of worship and love, the eternal respect awarded by Allah to His devoted servants, and the power of trust akin to the trust a child places in its mother. Babaji's words probe into the heart of faith, advocating for absolute trust and devotion as pathways to true divine connection.
