"As the saint himself says that when he did not find any true seeker to impart his spiritual wealth and blessings, he decided to transform this esoteric wealth into writing and thus madeit available for generations to come""Hazrath Sultan Bahu's initiation into the spiritual world was both esoteric and exoteric.In his book ` Amirul Kaunain ' he writes that`for thirty years I have traveled far and wide insearch of a Perfect Murshid (Spiritual Master)'.During this period he met innumerable spiritual guides and spent time with many ofthem, serving them in every respect and receiving spiritual light and blessings from them.Esoterically, Hazrath Sultan Bahu was initiatedby the Prophet Muhammed (Peace BE UPONHIM ) himself. He received instructions and spiritual guidance from the fountain -head ofall lights himself (PBUH) and was accepted asa child of light in the court of Hazrath Syeda Bibi Pak Fatima, the lady of light and her husband Hazrath Imam Mawla Ali"Hazrath Sultan Bahu in one stanza in his Abyat'(Punjabi Poems) he says:Murshid should be like a goldsmith Roasting dross in crucible Taking out the wholesome metal Shape rings irresistible Polish them for ladies' ears Who will look adorable Through true Murshid, every moment Bahu's Fate is changeable '.At another place he says:Mystic ways without a Murshid Try to tread and, sure, get lost..... Murshid perfect keeps you Happy in this life and life to come rids you of the pangs of hungerTurns to silver pure and shining..
