Attributed to Shaykh Rashid Ahmad Gangohi:

‘The Mureed should definitively know that the soul of the Shaykh is not confined or restricted to one place. Wherever the Mureed is, whether he is close or far from the body of the Shaykh, he is not far from him spiritually. When he comes to know this with certainty and constantly remembers his shaykh a spirituial bond is created and a strange benefit will be attained in every moment. When the Mureed requires the help of the Shaykh in any matter he will believe in the presence of the Shaykh in his heart and he will ask his shaykh with his tonque and the soul of the Shaykh, with the permission of Allah, will meet him. However a complete connection is the condition.’ (Imdad us Sulook)
