Dhulipala’s discovery inspired Ali Usman Qasmi, assistant professor of History, Lahore University of Management Sciences, to request the director of Pakistan’s National Documentation Centre for the document containing the details of the séance. It was found in a file, marked F-1067, in the National Archives of Pakistan, and a copy of it was sent to Qasmi.
Seance between Spiritualist and Md Ali Jinnah
The séance opens with the spiritualist asking the spirit to identify itself: “Mr Jinnah?” The spirit answered, “Yes friend, I am Jinnah.” The spiritualist requested the spirit to take a seat. It, rather tartly, responded, “I have (am) seated here. I remember to have come here sometime ago.”
The spiritualist alluded to the earlier visit and said, “When you came before you were complaining that you were in a dark and a cold place, which you did not like. How are you?”
Between the two visits the lot of Jinnah’s spirit had improved. The spirit replied, “Yes, so I was. I am now in a very good place brilliantly lighted. There are enough flowers. I am very happy there.”
Ibrahim pleaded with Jinnah’s spirit, “Sir…won’t you guide the destiny of the nation now?”
Jinnah’s spirit turned down the plea saying: “I see here flashes of evil pictures about Pakistan. I think the political conditions there are most unhappy. There are the (institutional) heads who have in them selfishness, and none at all is eager to be selfless.
Jinnah’s spirit shot back imperiously, “I have already said that just now: ‘Selflessness, Selflessness.’ That is the only advice I can give them now.” Then came the profound observation: “It is easier to acquire a country, but it is extremely difficult to retain it.”
