Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya R.A used to say, "Dervishhood consists of three elements: first every visitor should be greeted with peace (salam); then he should be served food; then only should one engage in storytelling or spiritual conversation." About food arrangements, Raja Hardev says, "The langar (refectory) was kept spotlessly clean. People were served food in separate plates. Once, some travellers objected to the provision of separate plates, describing it as a departure from the Muslim custom of eating from the same platter. An assistant of the murshid explained that the rule of the refectory is that when we have Hindu guests then food is served in separate plates only." ***Source Book : "Chahal Roza" is a diary wrote by a Hindu Mureed Rajkumar Hardev of Hazrat Nizamuddin Auliya (r.a.) who was a prince of Maratha royal family of Devgarh and an ardent devotee of a saint. In urdu translation this book known as "Nizami bansari". @@#@*©®$€ For more about Sufism click our website link: Thesuf.com
