Agar hai shauk Allah se milne ka, to hardam naam lau lagaata jaa ||(tek)||
Na rakh roja, na mar bhookha, na kar sijda |
Vajoo ka tod de kooja, sharaabey naam jaam peeta jaa ||1
Pakad kar ishq ka jhaadoo, saaf kar dil ke hoojre ko |
Duee ki dhool rakh sir par, moosalley par udaata jaa ||2
Dhaaga tod de tasbi, kitaabein daal paani mein |
Masaaik bankar kya karna, majeekhat ko jalaata jaa ||3
Kahae Mansoor qaaji se, nivaala koofar ka mat khaa |
Anal Haqq naam bar haq hai, yahi kalma sunaata jaa ||4
Meaning – After listening to the knowledge from Allah Kabir (Al-Khijr and the one attired as
Jinda), one learns that the spiritual practice currently being followed in the society gives ordinary
benefits. Salvation is only possible by the method of worship mentioned in the knowledge of
Sukshmved. Due to which, relinquishing the traditional method of worship, one has to perform true
worship, which is not liked by the other people of the society. They oppose fiercely. They become
sworn enemies. This was the reason behind killing devotee Mansoor. But devotees do not die. When
Mansoor ji firmly believed that the previous spiritual practice {observing (Roza) fasts, (azaan / bang)
giving a call to prayer, offering (namaz) prayer, slaughtering goats, cows etc) is neither helpful nor
sufficient for attaining salvation; it leads to hell, then he tried to exhort the preachers of his own
religion, and said, “O Qaji! If you have a (shauk) desire to meet Allah, then chant the true naam in
every breath (lau lagaakar) with full attention. Give up (roza) fasting. One does not attain Allah by
starving. The fact that you consider it sinful to perform religious activities without taking (vajoo)
bath etc, is merely a misconception. Break the (kooje) pot in which you bring water for the bath
and throw it somewhere, that is, do not just be busy in bathing and washing. The purport is that
the spiritual practice for attainment of salvation does not become successful just by cleaning the
body externally. For that, one’s heart should be (paak) pure. Intoxicate yourself with the recitation
of naam, that is, drink the (sharaabey naam jaam) alcohol of naam and intoxicate yourself. (Ishq)
Love Allah deeply. Clean the (dosh) filth of the heart with the broom of this (Ishq) love. Destroy
(duii) jealousy and become a true devotee. You are not reciting the true naam with the rosary that
you are carrying. Break this (tasbi) rosary. You read books (Quran Majeed, Zaboor, Taurat, Injil)
and believe that this itself will lead to salvation; this belief of yours is wrong. That is why, it has been
said that immerse these books in the water. To attain God, burn your ego, that is, give up arrogance.”
Mansoor ji said to the Qaji, “Stop killing living beings (slaughtering cows, goats etc.). Do not commit
this (kufar) sin. Anal Haq is the true mantra for salvation. Recite this kalma (mantra).”
Allah Kabir had met Rumi in the guise of Shams Tabrez. The one who met Mansoor Ali was
Shams Tabrez, a Muslim Sufi saint. It is also mentioned in some books that God Kabir through
secret inspiration, generated a desire in Shams Tabrez to leave the ashram because Shams Tabrez’s
opposition had escalated in that city. As soon as Shams Tabrez left the ashram, Kabir ji himself
started living in the ashram in the guise of Shams Tabrez. He had to get his Hans (devotee soul)
Mansoor out of there. After fierce opposition from the king and the public there, Al-Khijr in the
guise of Shams Tabrez came to Multan city of Hindustan (present-day Pakistan) with his disciple,
Prince Muhammad (Mansoor’s name had been changed to Muhammad). Satguru Shams Tabrez
and Prince Muhammad set up their abode in the city of Multan. After listening to their knowledge,
some good souls became their followers. But the method of worship being against Islam, the people
there started protesting strongly. Those who had become followers were also barred from going to the
ashram. Shams Tabrez ran out of firewood. He said to the prince, “Make a single thick roti (bread)
of this flour and take it to the city. Get the bread cooked from someone’s house.” The prince went
to the city with raw bread. No one cooked the bread. On the contrary, they injured Muhammad by
hitting him in his face. The disciple returned without getting the bread cooked and told Satguru,
“People did this to me. They did not even bake the bread.” Then Shams Tabrez, placing the roti
(bread) in his hand, faced the sun and said, “Come here and cook my baati.” Instantly, on the order
of Satguru, the sun started coming closer to the earth. It became so hot that the city of Multan
became a furnace. The entire city of Multan started burning. The doors and the walls started
heating up. Some sensible people appeared in the service of Satguru and begged for forgiveness.
They said, “Please do not punish the entire Multan city for the deeds of some ignorant people.”
Satguru said, “These people are not ignorant but evil. They even refused to give an inexpensive
thing like fire to the saints. They broke this child’s face.” The people standing with folded hands
said, “They are not familiar with your power. Forgive them in the name of God.” On hearing this,
Satguru Shams Tabrez said, “Since you have brought God amidst this, I forgive them.” Looking
towards the sun, he said, “Reduce your heat. I do not know how these people will bear the fire of
(Dojakh) hell?” As soon as he said this, the sun went back to its place. After that the people of Multan
started becoming devotees. Satguru Kabir ji, who was playing the role of Shams Tabrez, observed
silence for a few days under his plan as Shams Tabrez had become silent after seeing the fierce
protests and atrocities against his disciple Mansoor. Kabir ji in the form of Shams Tabrez was also
observing silence for many days. Like every day, he went for a morning walk, but did not return.
On the same day, the original Shams Tabrez, who had become silent, arrived in the ashram. He died
soon after he arrived. People do not know about this secret to date. Shams Tabrez’s body was buried
in a tomb. A memorial was built in the year 1329. Supreme God Kabir performed a divine play in
Kashi (India) for hundred and twenty years from 1398-1518. At that time, He had resurrected girl
Kamaali after getting her corpse disinterred from the grave. On growing up, when Kamali came to
know about the above reality, she expressed a strong desire to see it. She requested Satguru. Kamaali
was married off to a devotee in the same Multan city. Sant Garibdas ji has said that:
Garib, Satguru Samastabrej koon, baati dhariya haath |
Sooraj koon seki jahaan, tejpunj kaa gaat ||
Meaning – Satguru Samastabrej (Shams Tabrez), by placing a raw roti (bread) in his hand,
asked the sun to bake (cook) it. Instantly, the sun came closer to the earth. At that time, the body
of Satguru, in the guise of Shams Tabrez, became fulgent. His body began to appear extremely
bright. By the heat of the sun, the bread got baked and became edible.
