If he is so powerfull then why is he asking his followers to pray for him?
Indeed a very valid point made by dar.
If only an average bohri could understand this simple fact., But ... NO!!! he wont!! How can he question whats being followed?? Maybe, he's too lazy to question especially when the script is offered on a platter, why waste energy... just swallow... live in illusions and fantasies, because reality bites, just not ready to confront it... scared that it might expose you.
I happened to ask one of my acquaintances (who is a regular masjid goer and who of late has been actively involved in the so-called functions and prayers hosted to enhance the life of Syedna) Why are you guys doing all this? I mean, death is nature, If one has to go.. he has to go... how can you expect him to live forever, You are born to die, why can't you all simply accept this fact??? His reaction was something which I cannot put in words, that look he gave me... My my... I thought my end was near..
He simply couldn't comprehend... then as usual, he started abusing me.. calling me all sorts of names.., I had a hearty laugh!!
What I understand by this is that these guys just aren't ready to look at themselves in the mirror... They are so scared to lose their (false) comfort.. which they so dearly cling.
