Ostad Elahi Unicity

My father used to say to me, “It is as if I have raised you in a fine garden.

If you look beyond the garden walls, you’ll see nothing but dirt and filth”. When I entered society,

I didn’t even know that it was possible for people to lie or cheat or do anything immoral.

On account of this, I suffered a good deal.

There is no essential question that I have passed over in silence. All one needs is understanding
            and will-power. And will-power comes from the soul.
            My intention is not to tell stories, but to give guidance, never recommending
            anything before practicing it myself, never presenting a subject before
            fathoming its depths, so as to ensure that it is not inconsistent with the laws of this world
            or the next. I have not imitated anyone. All this is the result
            of my own observation and experience. In a few words, I have presented the
            quintessence of spirituality for those in search of Truth.
            My words may be trusted for the following reasons:


            Throughout my life, when unsure of something, I have never been ashamed
            of saying “I don’t know” always trying to ensure the accuracy of my statements.


            From early childhood, God had given me the gift of logic, enabling me to
            produce a rational argument for every subject.


            As I had a passion for philosophy, I made it the subject of my studies.
            I have explored, as far as needed, the pivotal dimensions of spirituality and
            mysticism.


            As a result, both the theologian and the mystic find themselves in agreement
            with my statements.
