Nearness to Allah through Imam Mahdi (ajtfs)

Ayatullah Shahabadi (ra), mentor of Imam Khomeini (ra) in Irfan, said:

"The first thing to reach the nearness to Allah is the heart of Imam Mahdi (atfs) because he is the heart of everything that exists and it is not possible to reach this station without obeying him. Because Imam Mahdi (atfs) is the fullest manifestation of (attributes of) Allah, therefore, he is present everywhere."
