Eventually Mir Ghulam Sahib Andrabi took you in outward training and trained you. Apart from these, whatever spirituality insight you have got, you have got only by the grace of the saints.He wrote a book Kaleed-e-Ludni to enlighten the minds of people. Gilkar Saeb choose the poetry of few kashmiri Sufi Saints namely: Shamas Faqir Saeb (RA), Niama Saeb (RA), Mumin Saeb (RA), Soch Kral Saeb (RA), Qadir Saeb kehnai (RA), Rahim Saeb Sopore (RA), Rahman Dar Saeb (RA), Prakash Ram Saeb (RA), Lalleshwari (Lal Ded) (RA) and Nund Reshi (Hazrat Sheikh-ul Aalam) (RA). The number of followers of Gilkar Sahib and his companions is not possible because people of all Dharmas (Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs or Christians) used to come and go with Him. And they all quenched their thirst for knowledge of Muar’fat. But there are some comrades and disciples who were very respectful and close to Him namely: Aalam Shah RA (Harnag Islamabad), Ghulam Qadir Malik RA (Khanabal Islamabad), Muhammad Sultan RA (Sulla-Band Islamabad), Ali Muhammad Dar RA (Khanabal Islamabad), Shah Amin RA (Pulwama), Mustafa Ulvi (Kulgam), etc. Gilkar Sahib’s Mysticism has spread throughout the Kashmir Valley in such a way that it will continue till the Day of Judgment.
