Which ever reformers of our characters are present they too will leave the world one day. They are present for a definite duration only. (Though not known to us.) This has been observed that if the number of people contacting an Elder for self correction increases too much then it is an indication that he last time has arrived. Slowly Allah (SWT) calls the Masha-ikh back. (I) was present with Ali Miyan (RA) in 1999. Paralysis has already struck. The room was full of medicines and aids necessary for various contingencies. Elders indulge in these things (medicine) for the sake of their associates other wise have got some inclination about their departure. In no case they put their trust in these worldly efforts. Allah (SWT) has said that life and death is in His hands. All the medical facilities might be present but His decree prevails. Only Allah (SWT) knows when death will over take. Similarly people used ask (beloved Prophet (PBUH)) as to when the doomsday will arrive. They were told that only Allah (SWT) knows but there are some indications.
