He was merely sixteen or seventeen years old when he first heard the name of Farīduddīn Ganjshakar, and feelings of love and respect arose in his heart right then.
He narrates to his disciples that he never felt the same after hearing or even meeting any other Sufi.
The love kept increasing like a burning fire.
If his classmates would like to have some work out of him they used to invoke the name of Baba Farid, and he never refused anything asked in his name.
He didn't feel the same for anyone else in his entire lifetime.
 He became his disciple after completing his studies at the age of 20.
 He visited him thrice in his lifetime.
