From the beginning your nature was tossed away from the world. During childhood, if you ever wanted to play with children you would have heard from the unseen, "O you, the blessed one. Come here." Whenever you used to hear this voice you went to the lap of your mother. You got admitted in Madrasa of your city at the age of nearly 5. When you started going to Madrasa, the angels walked around you, and used to announce, "Leave the place for WALI ULLAH." You have memorized the Quran Shareef in Geelan.

But when I was crowded with hardship, I used to lie down on the floor and start reciting Surah of Quran Shareef, and then my all problems would have gone away.
