Nizamuddin Auliya: A life spent in bringing happiness to the human heart

He lies a few feet from his master. Together in this world, they are together in another. It was the call of the dervish.
Baba Farid, Nizamuddin’s master, would utter these words while in seclusion:

A Faqir has no religion – there is only Haq and love, says Sain Zuhoor

“The world needs humanity. We need peace. We need someone to share our pain and sorrow. Why did Hindus, Muslims and Christians flock to Moinuddin Chishti, Qutbuddin Kaki, Baba Farid and Nizamuddin Auliya? It is because they hurt no one’s sentiments. Everyone was equal in their eyes. Religion did not matter. Humanity did.”
Bulleh Shah’s Aik Alif is this Faqir’s soul.

Qawwalo'n ke Qisse-12 Farid Ayaz Qawwal ka Qissa

He once narrated a story of a Legendary Qawwal in Pakpattan, named Rafiq Mundriwale. Reportedly he was arrogant, even at the sacred courtyard of Baba Fariduddin Ganj-e-Shakar he shouted, ‘Aaj main aisa kalam parhun'ga, jo Baba Farid ne bhi nahin sune honge.’ Some unseen force had repelled him from the Dargah compound. He became paralytic after this incident & couldn’t sing any more.

Nizamuddin Auliya: Amir Khusrau’s soul

Baba Farid’s teachings and the principles of the Chishti mystics were now ingrained in Nizamuddin. He had surrendered himself to the Will of the Maker. He had no source of food, he wore a simple Sufi tunic and he had no shelter.
He returned to Delhi from Ajodhan and found refuge in Amir Khusrau’s uncle’s house. Adjacent to the palatial buildings of courtiers, Bibi Zulaikha and Baba Farid’s brother, Najeebuddin Mutawakkil, lived in run down houses, in Mehrauli.
