He may have met many Sufis and visited many tombs of the saints but he did not come across a Sufi teacher of his own calibre.
During the same period when he was a young man of about thirty, the war of succession between Dara Shikoh and Aurangzcb was fought.His later writings are sufficient proof of his moral and spiritual support for Aurangzeb who won and became the Emperor. He himself,however, never cared to have any concern with the court or the courtiers.
All his life he kept travelling to the far-flung places initiating disciples and passing on the spiritual knowledge and wisdom to the seekers of truth. He might have written most of his books during such journeys.He never made a permanent khaneqah during his life-time.
Sometimes he fell into ecstasy and passed his days and nights in the state of absorption. Many places are still remembered and venerated where he stayed for some long or short periods to contemplate in solitude.
In "Manaqibi Sultanit" a few of his journeys have been mentioned.His travellings in Saraiki region upto Sindh, his journey to Delhi where he met the Emperor Aurangzeb in the Jamia Mosque and his visits to the tombs at Multan and other cities have been indicated.
