I have suffered from two ailments for a long time. The first is migraine, due to which I used to become very restless and horrifying complaints would develop. I suffered from this illness for nearly twenty-five years and then, along with it, I was afflicted with dizziness. Physicians opine that these disorders ultimately lead to epilepsy. Accordingly, my elder brother, Mirza Ghulam Qadir, after suffering from this very ailment for about two months, fell victim to epilepsy and this is what he died of. Therefore, I continued to supplicate that God Almighty may safeguard me against these ailments.
On one occasion, I perceived in a vision that an evil spirit in the form of a black animal with four feet which had the height of a sheep having long hair and big claws, was about to attack me. It was instilled in my heart that this, indeed, was epilepsy. I struck its chest forcefully with my right hand and said, ‘Go away! You have no part in me.’ Hence God knows that all those dangerous complaints subsided and that severe pain completely disappeared; I only suffer from occasional dizziness so that the prophecy relating to the two yellow sheets [i.e. illnesses] may not be affected.
The second disease from which I have suffered for nearly twenty years is diabetes. This Sign has been mentioned earlier too. Even until now I need to pass water about twenty times every day and sugar has been detected in the tests of urine. One day it passed through my mind that, according to the experience of physicians, the end result of dia- betes is either epiphora in the eye or carbuncle, the appearance of a cancerous growth, which is fatal, whereupon I received the revelation about epiphora:
Meaning that, mercy has been brought down upon three organs, the eye and two other organs.
When the concern about carbuncle crossed my mind, I received the revelation:
[Peace be on you.]
Thus, it has been a lifetime that I have been protected from these calamities. [So all praise belongs to Allah].
