Even if done once in a lifetime, Muslims revere the occasion as the most blissful moment of their entire life. Those who successfully complete this pilgrimage to Haj are respectfully addressed as Haji and they command a high social status. In his quest for spiritual fulfillment, Haji came to Shirdi to take meet Baba. His ego completely annihilated, blessed Haji was enlisted in Baba s court. Once Guru s grace is obtained, it is the spiritual responsibility of the seeker to sustain Guru s grace.
Intense practice is necessary to ward off the creeping ego.
Experiences at the end of any spiritual pursuit should if any, be limited to satisfaction, for even a little slip here awakens the pride. Diamonds are the ones that glow, being hollow of any obstructions to the divine light. Greed alone can result into evils. If backbiting become a habit, it is so enough in itself that the necessity of committing other wickedness pales away. Being desireless comes the freedom from feeling of pain and pleasure.
