One day Khawas accompanied by his disciple was passing through a wilderness. He sat down at a spot to say his prayers. The disciple saw a lion approaching them where Khawas sat enveloped in meditation. The disciple climbed a tree to safety and watched. The lion came, circled Khawas and smelt him then went away. Khawas remained in his seated position not in the least perturbed.
A little further on their journey as they were talking a mosquito bit Khawas. He shrieked. The disciple questioned, “How was it that when a lion approached you, you remained unaffected and now you are acknowledging a mosquito biting
you?” Khawas replied,’ replied,’ When the lion approached me by the grace of the Almighty I had been washed clean of my consciousness but now I have regained it. (Tadhkeratul Auliya) body
