A dervish once asked Dinwari to pray for him to the Lord. At the request Dinwari replied, “Go to the door of the Lord and pray directly to Him, you do not need my mediation,” the dervish enquired, “But where is the door of the Lord?” He replied, “Where you are no longer (i.e. in your non-being) that is where the door is found.” Hearing this, the dervish left for a solitary place and began his prayers. The Lord showered him with His grace munificently.
One day the town in which Dinwari lived was flooded. On that day Dinwari saw the dervish sat on a mattress floating on the water. Surprised Dinwari asked how he had attained such excellence that even the floodwater obeyed him. The dervish replied it was due to Allah’s blessings upon him and the result of him following his instructions. (Tadhkeratul
