Na maen momin vich maseet aan....
The arrogance of the nafs is based on knowledge and this is the hardest hijaab to remove as it comes in the guise of wisdom . Surrender means giving up this crutch of the nafs and begging at the door of Mohammed to learn to connect with one who is nearer to us than our jugular vein. The whole kaafi is the story of intimacy of Bulleh Shah with the beloved and his transcendental qualities that he feels with great certainty which lead us to the presence
Na maen momin vich maseet aan
Na maen vich kufar diyan reet aan
Na maen paakaan vich paleet aan
Na maen moosa na pharaun.
Bulleh Shah the great iconoclast points to the presence of the real God and removes from our consciousness traps of the material world smashing internal and external idols with his unique poetic ease. He identifies beautifully and clearly the illusions and the stormy river which stands between God and Man, which can all be traced to their true origin the Nafs (Ego), the Greatest hijaab , which requires the greatest jihaad.
