Dont go look for a pir/faqeer. Just ardently search for guidance. See God in everything around you. Feel the thirst of your soul. Talk to Him often in whatever language you speak.

God will slowly and gradually guide you. The next book you read, the next movie you watch, the person you meet in the grocery store, they will all give you clues.

God is very wise, he knows how to guide a person who is looking for it. Also, the good souls will guide you, they are all around us, Prophets, saints, and sages dont die.

Moreover, when your start connecting with the soul, or when you give strength to the soul, it will speak to you through your intuition, thats the voice of God.

This is a beautiful post hence i took my time to reply to this because there is just so much i have to say about this but there are no words to describe it all.

I have always been very observant and analytical ever since i was a kid so i remember having deep discussions about religion with my dad even at a age when kids usually don’t pay much heed to such topics. So observing people and things around me and seeing Allah and his doings in it has always been part of my life, my personality.

I believe the key thing is not avoid getting distracted, which we all do by frivilous things around us, and keep our contact deep and direct with Allah.

The first physical thing that you may notice is that, he may or may not have a beard. He maybe wearing a three piece suit instead of kamiz shalwar. But the important things about him will be:
He will have shine in his eyes.
He will have a certain attraction about him making you want to constantly look at him and this will give you comfort inside you.
His face will be shining also even if he is an african negro.
His voice will automatically have an effect on you that you will want to listen to him and talk to him.
He will answer any question that you may ask him about anything, be it your past or future.

The basic theme is that you will want to visit him again and again for you will feel comfortable when you talk to him like all your worries have vanished, he will motivate you and give you hope which will stay in your heart and make you contented. Once you come out after meeting him, you will be satisfied and relaxed.

Wow, i feel i need somebody like that so much in my life right now. However then it makes me think, why don’t i just invest same energy and interest in getting my equation direct with Allah and don’t go for anyone who god knows may be real or just one of the fake drama kings/queens out there to make easy money?!. After all, Allah has said he’s accesible to one and all just depends on our convinction and faith.
