earliest days at Shirdi, and rarely after 1890.

Baba, to Abdul Rahim,

Rangari:

if you had come yesterday,

it would have been better.

Abdul. why?

Baba: There was music. I wept

all night. They abused me.

Abdul: Why did they- abuse you?

Baba: When I say

" abused’ people do not understand; but you will understand,

Abdul: One who loves God, would

weep, laugh, or dance as the songs in praise of God go on.

Baba: Just so. You are right.

Have you your own Guru?

Abdul: Yes. Babee

Baleeshah Chishti Nizami.

Baba: That is why you

understand.

N.B.-This Chishti

Guru was accompanied by music whenever he travelled.

The Chishti sect use music as an aid for attaining

trance
