TOTAL INVOLVEMENT

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.
