I reached Ajmer and visited Hazrat
Khwaja Moinuddin Hasan Chishti
Shrine, as it is a religious institution,
which has for centuries been
attracting pilgrims.
If there is one truth to be learned from
his life, it is that there is no predicting
the future.
When the sun emerged, I came out to
a place where flowers were blooming
in a garden. I heard a cock utter in
his characteristic loud cry like
‘cock-a-doodle-doo’.
The beautiful sound made my enthusiastic
mind to express the inner happiness
and a cool crisp air was blowing from
the desert as if all are revealing
the deeper truth.
In the meantime, peacocks were calling
out in their cordial tune and it was a
dream to visit Hazrat Khwaja Moinuddin
Hasan Chishti’s Shrine, which touched my
heart and deepened my faith to such an
extent that words fall short for feelings.
