1- After taking oath of allegiance from any perfect saint or developing spiritual contact with him and after observing the ten rules mentioned before with perfection and devotion one feels a strange type of consolation and peace of mind and develops the feeling of happiness.

2- His desire towards spiritual progress increases. He develops his nature for good deeds and his desire to eschew evil takes a firm footing.

3- he feels pleasure in prayers and gets emotional ecstasy in remembering Allah and feels under the sway of perpetual bliss.

4- Sometimes the heart-beating increases which gives feelings of happiness and intoxication and at every heart-beating starts automatically "Pass Anfas" i.e (Allah-Allah). This is called the continuous remembrance of Allah. Many seekers do not have it.

5- There develops in the hearts a degree of warmth and excitement together with excitement and cheerfulness which lead to intoxication and ecstasy. This is the thing which Sufi poet call wine and later on those poets who are bereft of mysticism have sung its song so much that the common fold have taken it to e the common wine which is prohibited in Islam. This state of mind is also called absorption. For the seekers it is the greatest gift and blessing of Allah. This is the assignment and trust from Holy Prophet and is given so that the seeker forgets all the unnecessary things of the world and proceeds on and on to the spiritual journey by tolerating all the troubles and tribulations without any murmur. This state of mind is also found among non-Muslims saints such as Sadhus and Christian monks. But only the real saints and those having discerning eyes only know what is the difference between warmth of heart-beating of non-Muslims and Muslims.(for detail read book)

6-Those who remember Allah according to Nakshabandiy sect their LATAIF(inner Vision) such as Qalb, Rooh, Sir, Khafi etc get around , that is, they start remembering Allah or get illuminated or the seeker sees their light such as yellow, red, white, green and black etc. This light appears to some seeker like the fire-fly, to some like a lamp and to some so much that the entire earth and universe get immersed into it.And some see nothing at all.

7- You see real dreams. you start seeing what is inside the graves and while wide awake out see souls. This is also a kind of blessing but also a kind of hard ordeal. (for detail read book)

8- Man is endowed with the power of attraction and miracles. During this period very ordinary type of miracles take place but the beginners consider it very significant and take themselves to be saints of very high order. this is very significant blessing but if it is not protected by the benign hands of Allah, it may prove very harmful. Many seekers develop pride because of this. Nowadays it is considered to be a great achievement and sign of sainthood and the wish to go ahead and proceed further do not come to the head of the seeker. During this period divine inspiration enables one to know something of the past or futur. Therefore, it is useless to be proud of this blessing of Allah and to boast about it. This is not the aim and object of Wisdom rather it is an impediment in its way.(for detail read book)
