Here is an extract from the chapter entitled: 'The
Early Years'.
Once in the days of his youth Ghousal Azam, Piran
-e - Pir was sitting in the company of Sheikh
Hamadoo Bas with utmost respect. When he went
out, Sheykh Hamadoo said :-
"The foot of this Ajmi (Ghousal Azam) will be
some day on the neck of all the saints."
It is said that one day Ghousul azam was sitting in
his Rubat, surrounded by about fifty such
outstanding saints as Sheikh Ali Heti, Sheikh Baqa
son of batoo, Sheikh Abu Said Telvi, Sheikh Abu
Najeeb Suhrewardy,
Sheikh Qasib ul Ban of Mosul, and Sheikh Abus
Saood.
During the course of conversation with the saints,
Ghousal Azam said thus: -
"My foot on the neck of all saints".
Hearing these words, Sheikh Ali Heti came near
the platform and taking hold of the foot of Ghousul
Azam placed it on his neck, and came under his
fold. All the other saints bent their necks low.
Sheikh Abu Said Toolali says that:
"When Gousul Azam uttered the words, 'My foot
on the neck of all saints' I witnessed the Divine
Light within my heart. The Holy Prophet
Mohammed, the angels and all the saints were
there bodily and spiritually. There was not a single
saint who had not bent his neck."
