The great Baba Bullay Shah...puts it in the crudest possible way...

"Raateen Jagay Shaikh Sada Weinn...atteein Raatein Jagarn Kuttay...tai kun uttay

Dar maalik da mool na chhad day...paween sou sou ponday juttay ...tai kun uttay

rukhee sukhee roti khaanday attay jaagarn tay suttay ... tai kun uttay...

way mian bulleya chal yaar mana lay ....oh nai tay baazi lay gaye KUTTAY...tai kun uttay..."

Explanation:

In the above excerpt Baba Bullay Shah compares us with the dogs in the night...they are awake in the night also just like us but they dont leave their Masters door. No matter if they are get beaten or treated badly. They will eat whatever is given to them whether it is dry bread or whatever. It doesnt matter. They would sleep and wake at the same door. Addressing himself Bulley Shah says lets go and make our Love (Lord) happy otherwise the Dogs have won this competition. We have lost to the dogs.

As crude as it sounds, it is that. We move away from the Lord as and how the life gets difficult. Our faith grows weaker when look at the dogs. At least they keep their masters happy. No matter how tough it gets. No matter what the hardships, they know at the end of the day that is where the food is going to come from. The solution is there only.

Baba Bulley Shah...it couldnt get simpler...

Check this out...

"Loagaan Aakhiya Majnay kon....Oh teri Laila rang dee kaali...

Majnay aay jawab ditta...tu sakoon Akh nahi dekharn wali...

Chittay warq quran day... oh jehn kay siyahi rang dee kaali

oh jehn naal dil arh paway oh gori huay ya kaali..."

Translation:

People told Majnoo that your Laila is Black...Dark...meaning not beautiful. Majnoo replied you do not have the eyes that see the beauty of her. It is just like the pages of Quran which are white. It is only when they are coloured with BLACK ink do they get the beauty and meaning of it....

It is just the matter of where the heart gets stuck...then there is no Black or White...

Wah ji Wah...
