Spiritual Training

 

During his stay in Aligarh he developed an aptitude towards mysticism and started spending much of his time with Maulana Kabli at his place in a graveyard. He used to go there in the morning and would return late in the night.

In the mean while he happened to visit his maternal grandfather Tajjuddin Baba Auliya Nagpuri, who ordered him to stay with him. When his father came to know about this, he went to Nagpur and requested Tajjuddin Baba to let him go to Aligarh to complete his education.

 Tajuddin Baba said that if he studied anymore he would not be of any use to him. Like a kind father he tried to make his understand but when he observed that his son was also inclined towards Sufism, he left saying, "I hope you know what you are doing."

 Qalander Baba Auliya stayed with Nana Tajjuddin Baba Auliya Nagpuri for nine years and he imparted spiritual training to him. Few of numerous incidents and their explanation is given in his book, "Tazkira Tajjuddin Baba Auliya."
