Hakeem Noor-ud-Deen The Way of the Righteous 172 The Love for Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra had already acquired fame and standing throughout India as a scholar, physician, savant and philosopher. He was seen in Muslim circles as an outstanding emerging personality and left a deep imprint of his learning and of his great insight. This emerging outstanding personality was completely mesmerized, hypnotized and enthralled in his very first meeting with Hadhrat Mirza Ghulam Ahmad as. Why was he so mesmerized, hypnotized and enthralled? The reason is simple: Hadhrat Khalifatul Masih I ra was already in quest of a perfect man. It is no wonder, that on the first sight, he felt a compelling urge: "It is this man, it is this Mirza to whom I find myself completely surrendered. " When he was returning from Qadian after his first meeting, he had a vaulting ambition and feeling that was surging to his mind repeatedly: "How may I place my life, my wealth, my honour and all belongings at his disposal. " And after this meeting he expressed his feelings of respect and esteem for the Promised Messiah in a letter (see Ta ’ ssuraat-i-Qadian by Malik Fazal Hussain, pp. 70-71): My Master, my Murshad, my Imam: It is my intense prayer that I be ever present in your company. And secure learning and spiritual delights from the Imam of the age. I seek your permission, let me resign the post (royal physician of the Rajah of Jammu) and spend my days and nights at your threshold. And, if you command me, I will leave this post and roam in the whole world issuing a call to everyone to come to the religion of Islam, and thereby give my life. I wish to give away myself and all that belong to me. All is yours. My Master and my Imam, I beg to state with all the sincerity and truth, if all my wealth and all that I possess in this world are spent in the way of Allah, I would be very lucky to have achieved that high mission I had set.
