When Baba ji was 14 years old, he came under the guidance of Sayed Fazal Hussain Shah Qadri Qalandri, who was a resident of Chiniyot city and resided in serene environs, away from the hustle and bustle of the city life. Baba ji served his spiritual master with untiring dedication and his spiritual orientation pleased his guide so much that one day, Sayed Fazal Hussain advised his student not to come to his abode and henceforth, people would come to him, seeking his counsel. In 1969, Baba ji received a spiritual message to venture into the deep jungles for mediation and he stayed there for 3 months. He would venture to an unknown and dangerous place, unattended and without any provisions, but God would always supply for his needs. After a span of 1.5 years, Babaji again received a spiritual intimation to meditate in the jungles, which he did so for 4 months. After this period of meditation, he returned home at the age of 17, and immersed himself into fulfilling his worldly obligations. In 1989, after receiving instructions from his spiritual master, he left his home and inhabited a house that did not have a boundary wall. He had to choose one from two options – either he would remain confined to his home or he would fast (not consume anaaj). Babaji choose the latter and fasted for 4 months and then, in the month of Assu, he broke his fast with a quarter of a roti. He resided at that place for 11 years and after that period; he received orders to move on from that place. In the year 2000, he again received a message to leave his abode and travel to Jhang without any belongings.
