Some fundamental clarifications

1. Meditation on the form of the Master.
Some elders have given impetus to “Ishkh Majaji” {Love for Master) as a separate Order which takes one forward. For example, if any body has love towards certain person, that person is advised to fix his attention on the form of a person, whom he loves most or any photo and later his attention is diverted to the other side. In this way he is taken towards the real or “Haqiqi Ishkh”. But Khaja Saheb commands that He has hesitation in performing this type of work and in the Order of Aliya Nakshabandiya, this order has not been considered as pious On the other hand it is not considered as totally proper.
Huzur has stated that it is written in some books that Hazrat Khaja Bahauddin Nakshabandiya quddus surooha has started the training some times for the less intelligent seekers in this way such that they have to develop love towards form, till they get perfection in the unconditional love and they do not have any other relations other than this. Then their hearts used to be turned away from the love towards form, with little force because all the relations have been already broken. Therefore they used to have nearness and experiential knowledge.
This method was used by Khaja Bahauddin Nakshabandiya quddus surooha, when He has any person of less intelligence and not having intense (good) samskaras. For example if any body who is not inclined towards the training of Nakshabandiya, his attraction was used to be turned towards form. If any body who can not understand internal or external japa ie. Meditation or ajapajap he was advised meditation on any form or a photo, out of necessity. Worship of an Idol was also advised for such persons, in the beginning. Probably this was the reason for inventing the method of meditation on the form of guru, which is said to be the very easy and shortest way. For the people with inferior samskaras and dirty mind, who cannot understand subtle meditation and meditation on form, external japa with form, was used to be advised, so that the work will become easy.
2. Attachment to the worldly matters:
