Tabligh Movement
2. HAZRATJI
~ 59 ~
Amazingly enough, he resumed his speech with
such vigour, variety of arguments, freshness and
spontaneity, that it was hard to imagine that it was
the same person who had just finished a three-hour
speech.
“In this breakfast meeting, so engrossed was he in
explaining his mission to the people, that he paid no
attention to his food. When one of his colleagues
offered him a cup of tea, he accepted it, but held it
in his hand for about 15-minutes. On having his
attention drawn to it, he poured this cold tea down
his throat. Another cup of hot tea was offered with
biscuits but again he held the cup in his hand for a
long time and then drank it like water when it had
turned cold. Now he got up to address another
meeting. Although he knew beforehand that he had
to address another meeting before noon, he did not
take any rest. And this was no exception. Such was
“his routine.”
One of his colleagues who knew him personally
said that before going to make a speech the
Maulana always turned to God to seek His help.
And when he began, his absorption was total.
