The sheikh of his time. The inheritor and holder of all sufi lineages was asked when his students felt his end was near.. Who is going to be your successor.. To which he replied.. You know that person who is the student of that phony teacher in the village near by.. That is going to be my successor...
I had to think this over for a couple nights. Now I see that the man with a phony teacher does more work and faces the truth with less fear than the others. If he survives, he will be a worthy teacher.
I see it as the man with the phony teacher was making it on pure faith as any teachings /techniques he was getting were fake. Hence the best successor.

Yes, Sey, his Love of God must be all-consuming to accept such fault in a teacher!
