The Golden Chain of the Sheikhs -
Keep your Sheikh in your heart.
If a murid (follower of a sufi sheikh) does this (they) can be forever with (their) Sheikh. That is the best; because he helps you at any time, carrying you; – but when you are forgetting, leaving you to you.
Your power is only like a battery, but when the Sheikh is coming it is like electricity coming. That power continues, but a battery has limits.
Therefore they are asking, for mureeds to be with their Sheikh. That fills them up with the Divine Power that runs to the heart of Sayyidina Muhammad, (peace and blessing of Allah be upon him), and runs from him to the Saints, to our Grandsheikh; and when you are taking your Sheikh with you, that power is running to you.
Man is created weak and needs support. Allah Almighty gives that support from His Divine Power through His beloved servant, Sayyidina Muhammad (May peace be upon him), and on through saints. (Saints) are like springs. You may reach them. You may wash yourself. You may do everything. If no springs you can’t do anything. Allah Almighty made Prophets and saints for His servants so that ordinary people can reach His Divine Oceans through those springs which come from the Divine Oceans. As much as you need, try to be with them. Try to be with one who is closer than you.
Grandsheikh (this is Shaykh Abdullah Daghistani, the teacher of Shaykh Nazim) is now with the Messenger of God, (peace be apon him).
He left someone to be with you, one who is like you - that is my mission.
Grandsheikh gives from his spiritual power – so that who touches my hand is touching the hand of Grandsheikh. Who asks, may ask through me because I am connected to them. I am not alone; I belong to the silsilah. The Chain is not broken. Praise be to God.
