Sayyidi Younus AlGohar explains the technical differences between the Station of Wasl (Divine Union), Walayat and Wilayat in this comprehensive lecture.

Recipients are known as Aashiq-e-Ilahi (Divine Lovers) and Sultan ul Fuqra (Kings of Spiritual Poverty) depending on which entity they have. These divine entities stay in their bodies, serving as the presence of God within them. The Koran 50:16-19 says for such people, 'I am closer to you than your jugular vein.'

A true saint is one who has either seen God or spoken to God; they fall under the category of Walayat. - Wilayat is honorary sainthood granted by Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) to those he appoints in his esoteric police force - a force formed to keep the spiritual affairs of his Nation (Ummah) in check.
