Hazrat Wala (R.A) had instructed all his disciples and associates that whenever they travel by railway and their luggage exceeds the free allowance permitted by the railway, they must get their luggage weighed, pay the fare for the excess luggage, and only then proceed with the journey.
There is an incident from Hazrat Wala's own life: Once, he arrived at the station intending to travel by train. The arrival time of the train was near. He took his luggage and reached the office where luggage is weighed, and stood in the queue. Coincidentally, the guard who was to travel on the same train arrived there. Recognizing Hazrat Wala, he asked, "Hazrat, why are you standing here?" Hazrat replied, "I have come to get my luggage weighed." The guard said, "You do not need to get your luggage weighed. It is not an issue for you. I am traveling with you on the train; you do not need to pay the fare for the excess luggage."
Hazrat asked, "How far will you go with me?" The guard replied, "I will go up to a certain station." Hazrat asked, "What will happen after that station?" The guard said, "Another guard will take over at that station. I will inform him that this is Hazrat's luggage and not to make any inquiries about it." Hazrat asked, "How far will that guard go with me?" The guard said, "He will go further ahead, and your station will arrive before that." Hazrat then remarked, "But I have to go even further ahead—meaning, I will go towards the Hereafter and into my grave. Which guard will accompany me there? When I am questioned in the Hereafter about traveling in a government vehicle without paying the luggage fare and committing theft, which guard will help me there?"
