Being mortals
everyone has to pass away from this world. Qalander Baba Auliya's mother Saeeda
Bibi passed away leaving behind 4 daughters and two sons during his stay with Tajjuddin
Baba Auliya. Except one sister all his siblings were younger to him so he set
himself to look after them. Seeing that it would be difficult for him to cater
the needs of the younger sisters, Tajjuddin Baba Auliya told him to marry the daughter
of one of his followers. So he married and settled down in Dehli.
After the partition of the subcontinent he migrated to Karachi with his father and the family and started living in an old house, which he had on rent. After sometime Khan Bahadur Abdul Latif Commissioner Rehabilitation, who was an ardent devotee of Tajjuddin Baba Auliya, asked him to apply for allotment of a house but he did not pay any heed to it and continued living in the same old house.
Qalander Baba Auliya never used soap
for washing his hands. He used to wash his hands with warm water till all the
grease on hands was, gone and then would mop them with a towel. Thus, he would
spent quite some time in washing his hands. He had appointed places for the
things of common use and would mind if something was placed out of its place.
There was a time when he was over- powered by enchanting engrossment. During that time he would mostly remained silent. During those times rarely his talks would grow incoherent. This period did not last longer.
During the teachings of Ilm-e-Ladunni and after that he never slept for more than 3 hours in a day. He had complete control over his sleep: He was also very careful in his diets. He would eat only two loaves of bread at the most in 24 hours.
