He stayed for a long period in the area, which is far away from
the city of Hyderabad. During that time, he used to live in the
jungle as well as in desert places that were far from the city and
its people. In that area, he used to engage day and night in
endeavors and efforts. Due to the following methods, he has
obtained the position of perfection and excellence in the
following.
1.Mystical exercise 2.Endeavours 3. Remembrance of Allah
And these people, who were always at his service and benefited
greatly from his holy company, At that time, there was one
learned person who did not recognize his position of status and
holiness. And who used to curse him? He was opposed to his
Sama meetings with the sheikh of the time. One day, Mavlavi
Sahib came to see him in the house for this purpose. He went
there intending to hold a dialectic session and discuss his
arguments about lawfulness and dignity. And he will defeat the
unlettered sheikh, and with his proof of the incontrovertible, he
will silence him in this matter.
When Mavlavi Sahib was approached in his presence, the
Sheikh was deep in thought, and Mavlavi Sahib sat before him.
Nonetheless, Mavlavi Sahib did not begin his dialectic with him,
and he was becoming unconscious as a result of his state of
consciousness.He was falling at the feet of the sheikh of time as
he became conscious.And he asked that he be added to his group
of disciples. And he requested that he forgive his humor and his
mistake.

known as the deceptive way. He used to say that there are two
kinds of prayers, as follows: 1. Prayer of manifest 2. Prayer of
the innermost
In the prayer of the manifest, there are postures of standing,
bowing (rukoo), sitting (Waqood), and prostration, and the
prayer of the innermost is the leaving of existence. It means
considering our existence in this matter to be non-existent.The
perfect person is one who will pray these two prayers.And if one
prays only one prayer, then such a person is called a defective
person. The Salik (Arabic), also known as a mureed (disciple), is
an initiate into the mystic philosophy of Sufism, and one who
sets foot in the field without Islamic law and the mystic way will
come dangerously close to the misleading way. He used to say
that anyone who passes through his eyes of attention and care
will become successful and a mystic.He used to say that it was
unnecessarily expensive to build houses and quarters in this
world. We should have to build a house in another world. He
used to say that those who taste fakiri will not enjoy the
pleasures of riches.He used to say that it is sufficient as an
indication to the wise person, but if the ignorant person studies
lots of books, he will not get anything in this matter. There are
many Malfuzat, written records of audiences and question-and-
answer sessions with notable scholars or Sufis, providing
historical context, teachings, and attitudes. Typically presented
in chronological and dated order, particularly in Southeast Asia,
Collections typically discuss the work's authenticity and the
compiler's method of selection, which are both available because
of the disciples' well-known and famous malfuzats.If all of this
is to be recorded, large volumes of the book will be required.So,
for this reason, whatever was written by this fakir, who is a
