I thought the issue seemed to pertain to the book, so I took the book in my hands and invoked the Divine blessings and help, and said, "Bhai (brother) Sahib, what is this book?"

Here the written word was divinely struck out. ” Everybody got up and everybody turn by turn saw the missing word, and they were surprised beyond any measure of doubt. These people were not aware of the fact what page they had seen before and what page they were looking at now. I felt spiritually strengthened, and Pir Sahib finding the tables turned, changed the subject, and said, "We do not want to get involved in the issues taken up by the Maulavis. "
