After this event ba ba ji renounce the worldly interest and entered thoroughly in the spiritual world.
Generosity: Ba ba ji was very generous. Before coming to Sufism ba ba ji used to be a successful businessman, having too much wealth, but entering the Sufism he distributed all his wealth having nothing left jus to feed his own kid. One day the close relative came to him telling you did wrong having distributed your every thing. Your own kids will go hungry; Ba ba ji replied this is the best investment I have ever mad for myself and my kids now I can differentiate between the loss and profit.
