By his (Ayatullah Behjat) deeds and words, this great
scholar has always directed himself to God alone. A great mujtahid has said about Agha Behjat, “It cannot be just said about him that he is a
man of piety; in fact he is the true essence and manifestation of taqwa.”
Ayatullah Shaykh Javad
Kerbalayi says about him, “One
of his close students (in Najaf) reports that every night, or in fact at most
times, Agha Behjat sits alone, deep in thought and contemplation. He never wastes a moment of
his time, and does not participate in vain gatherings. When the time comes for his class, or his ziyarat
of Amirul Mu’mineen (A), he gets up abruptly, puts on his cloak and leaves the
house without interfering in the activities of others. He is extremely reserved and does not like to reveal anything about
himself, especially about the special favours and extraordinary spiritual
powers that God has granted him.”

Daftar-e Aftaab”, A Leaf from the Book of Radiance (About the Life of Ayatullah
Behjat).
