One who has inner beauty even master seeks him out. Master will accept them who are true to
themselves and are humble, who are free from false pretensions.
In the words of Shah Abdul Latif:
You royal Samma, I am lowly with many faults,
Looking to queen’s pomp, may you not
Change your path!
She is always humble and continues to plead with Jaam Tamachi thus:
I am of low caste, you have raised my status,
How otherwise it behoves me to be in Palace? (Shah Latif)
Those who carry the stinking baskets of fish,
To mingle with whom one would feel ashamed,
O Jaam Samma! You have raised their stature. (Shah Latif)
Those who proudly come with raised head,
You have spurned them all of Soomra’s or Samma’s clan. (Shah Latif)
Here it is amply shown that if you want to win your master it is by humility and complete surrender
to his will. Without unquestioned obedience it is not possible to meet your true beloved. If you love
with all devotion the sought himself will find out the seeker, as Jaam Tamachi himself found out
Noori. Those with ego cannot come near the master. Ego becomes a great dividing wall between
seeker and sought. With humility and devotion only you can reach the desired destination. The
master does not discriminate between low or high caste of weak or mighty.
Gift does not depend on caste,
Those who work are granted it. (Shah Latif).
Those with divine spark in their hearts will only be able to meet the master. Noori was a fisher
woman yet he could get her beloved whereas those with ego and pride always failed to realize the
truth.
Note: - Famous saint of Sindh, Sadhu T. L Vaswani adopted Noori as his Pen name. Noori being
embodiment of humility and signifying divine light.
