Spiritual Glance

In terms of Sufism, spiritual glance means transferring an attribute. As in the Mohammadan Assembly, a seeker of Allah acquires the attribute of truthfulness by the glance of Abu Bakr Siddiq, attributes of justice and self-accountability by the glance of Umar al-Farooq, generosity and modesty by the glance of Usman Ghani while knowledge, Faqr and bravery by the glance of Ali ibn Abi Talib.

The perfect spiritual guide transforms the inner state of the seeker by his spiritual glance and esoteric authority, converting the inner darkness to light.

The Sarwari Qadri spiritual guide trains his disciples through his spiritual attention rather than verbal preaching, while scholars convey their teachings through long spiels.

The self can only be purified by the spiritually effective glance of the perfect spiritual guide.

The spiritual glance of the perfect spiritual guide can change the fate of the seeker. As Iqbal said: نگاہ مرد مومن سے بدل جاتی ہیں تقدیریں Explanation: Even a single glance of a true believer (the perfect spiritual guide) can change the destiny and turn an infidel to a believer, an imperfect to a perfect and a wretched to a fortunate.
