The Shaikh said: “You want to enter Qadiriyya order because Shaikh Syed Abdul Qadir Jitani is the founder of that order?" He said: “Yes!” The Shaikh said: “There are also many lover of God in Chisti order.” At last the Shaikh initiated him in Chisti Sufi order.

Now I have become old. I desire to remain engrossed in His adoration all the times. Kindly guide me what to do” Hazrat Suleman said: “I will request to my Shaikh to guide me. You come tomorrow.” Next day when he came, the Shaikh said: “You are advised to reflect image of Shaikh in your inmost being.”

The disciple (mureed) should leave aside all of his volitions and be attached to his Shaikh like a suckling child. It is essential that he should be before his Shaikh like a servant before God. He should firmly believe that no one in the world is like of his Shaikh.

Sufi Quotes

The seeker should be disciple of some spiritual Guide (Shaikh) otherwise he won’t progress. Rag of Tasawwuf is actually the name of company of the Shaikh and it is also called rag of discipleship which in true sense means seeking divinity. The disciple should spend some time in the company of his Shaikh since he is the radiant Guide for him.
