Delay in Islahi letters
Maseehul-quloob, Hazrat Mawlana Maseehullah Khan sahib ra said in regards to the importance of being in contact with the Sheikh on regular basis:
“Delay in writing letters (i.e. informing one’s condition) to the Sheikh gradually leads to decreasing munsabet (receptiveness to the instructions given) with him.”
