As long as a person is not detached from worldly relations and accept a special place, he will not have any effect of spiritual training. Therefore it is necessary to advise in the beginning itself, to have only minimal relation with world. When getting detached from thousands of the worldly attachments and one has only one attachment, it has to be made so strong that he will not look towards any other aim.

It is famous that the method of the practice of words was taught by Hazrat Ali karam vaji to His disciples for the first time and the method of meditation on the form of the guru was given by Hazrat Abubakar.
There is a special Jikar in Nakshabandiya and there is a special method fixed for it. It is called “Vakoof Adadi”. The meaning of Vakoof is knowing and the meaning of Adad is counting. When the japa is done in the heart, after
