A.D.) in the house of Hazrat Shaikh Ahmed Baksh Naqshbandi Al

As Huzoor
Najam Sirkar was a borne Wali so he had a divine soul and an
impressive spiritual mentality. So he always kept himself busy
in studying the books of spirituality and Sufism. He had great
Fikr of the Allah the Almighty and a serious Nature and a search
of the truth of the universe.
One day
while reading the book Anees-Ul-Aarifeen he
read the speaking of Khwajah Habeebullah Quadri that, Malla
Shaikha Lahu Fa Shaikha Hus-Shaitan that means one who
had no Shaikh (Spiritual God Father), has the Iblees (Shaitan)
as his Shaikh. After reading this Huzoor Najam Sirkar became
very anxious and eager to find an appropriate Shaikh for himself.
So in the Hijri 1252, during the Urs of Hazrat Khwajah GareebNawaz
R.A., he reached at the holy shrine of the Khwajah-e-Buzurg
and asked Hazrat Khwajah GareebNawaz R.A. for the Shaikh for
himself, and got the direction from the Khwajah to reach Nagaur
at the holy shrine of his great grandfather Hazrat Khwajah Sufi
Hameeduddin Nagauri R.A. to get the direction about the Shaikh.
So Khwajah Haji Muhammad Najmuddin Sulaimani Chishti R.A reached
at Nagaur and requested his great grandfather for the purpose.
Hazrat Khwajah Sufi Hameeduddin Nagauri R.A. told him, There
is no Shaikh of the Level you want and deserve but the one in
the Holy city of Taunsaa*, along the coast of river Sangarh
in Punjab. (Now in Pakistan), named Khwajah Muhammad Sulaiman
Taunsvi R.A. You should go there I will tell him your desire
and force him to consider your matter.

Muhammad Sulaiman Taunsvi Chishti R.A. and sat outside waiting
for permission to meet the Desired Shaikh. Hazrat Khwajah Shah
Muhammad Sulaiman Taunsvi Chishti R.A. told his attendant to
call Najmuddin to come inside, but there were many persons named
