Man without the guidance of the perfect spiritual guide not only stays deprived of union with Allah but also goes astray and becomes a heathen. This is because his intellectual struggle fails to grant him Allah’s union so he believes that God never existed. He is engulfed by the darkness of self-conceit and egotism becoming the victim of inclination of creation. Then he sits in a small chamber in the guise of a spiritual guide and makes himself known as Ghawth and Qutb. Some fashion themselves with a chaplet and sit in a mosque or an enclosure like a mouse hides in a corner. All their prayers and mystic exercises are just a pretence to attract people. Without the perfect spiritual guide, no one can travel this difficult path filled with hurdles and therefore stays in the darkness of ignorance.
