It is very ironic that whereas, most of the common lay Muslims are not aware of the basics of Islam we have people here talking about realities which are beyond the grasp of most of us.

Tabligh is for one's self and these simple lay public. Not for elite and intellectual individuals.

Tasawwuf can not be a mass movement (tehreek). It needs lots of self motivation on an individual level. That may be the reason that akabir of tabligh kept it like this way. That is, on individual level tasawwuf is to be promoted and encouraged.

Well said. As it is said, Tableegh is covering the need of khanqahs in our time. Tableegh is, you can say, a walking khanqah.
