THE TIME OF ELIXIR

It is the practice of khalilloullah to keep awake at night. Men of the world spend this time in sensual and worldly pleasures. Men of God spend their nights in remembering Him. Both are awake, but the blessed are those who utilize it in the remembrance of the Lord.

 

Night is the time when my Beloved Lord appears. Those who sleep at this time are depriving themselves of a great boon. Day is for work, but night is for love and devotion to the Lord. Therefore, the whole night should be spent in communion with the Lord. The whole world sleeps, but the devotees spend the night in meditation at the feet of the Lord.

 

The fruit of meditation done in the first part of the night is just like the budding of the trees, but meditation during the latter part of the night is like the tree bearing the ripe fruit. At this time, one gets the Grace of God. The world sleeps while men of God are awake in His remembrance and are dyed in the hues of His love.
