If I were great, I would have stayed home; if I possessed piety on my own, then what was the need for me to accept the Imam?

In 1864, after his customary education, he was employed for four years as a minor court official in the Deputy Commissioners Office in Sialkot. During this time, he continued his study of religions. After renouncing his job at first he gained some fame challenging the Christians to debate.
