Knowledge of Countless Disciples (بے حساب مریدوں کا علم)

Hazrat has countless disciples — what does he know of all of them? Knowledge is of two types: one is ijmali (summary, comprehensive) and one is tafzili (detailed). Ijmali knowledge is always present — tafzili knowledge should also be present — but to be attentive to tafzili knowledge, one needs to be attentive — but to be attentive is also to be inattentive — meaning it gives its own thoughts from the other direction — they do not give attention and they are told: 'think about me, think about what concerns them' — these are my hairs — I have every single hair — the knowledge of a single hair is essential — 'Azra'il: hundreds of thousands, millions of lives, millions of souls — he runs them all — 'Azra'il takes his station in 'alam al-shahada (the world of witness) in many stations — despite this he is not visible to all, so that the angels come to whom they wish, and those to whom they do not wish to come cannot see. Just as jinn are in the 'alam al-shahada — yet to the eye of someone they come into view and to someone they do not.
