In the name of Allah the most beneficent and merciful.

Allah... Husain... Love of Husain - Fatima

First perform my work repeating the name of Allah, thereafter, like riding a horse, I will take you there. [There is an Arabic prayer.] You are the listener to our prayers.

You are the deity of Worlds. We worship you and seek Your help.

With Your blessings, O greatest of Mercifuls.

12. [K126] In the name of Allah the most beneficent and merciful.

The religious emotion is purely spiritual. Only secondarily it relates to the material world. O Parvardigar! - Universal Sustainer. O God! O Habib! – My Beloved What we see in this material state is not real because you cannot understand it through the intellect or by inference. Those who consider the spirit as without beginning, this opinion is incorrect because thinking itself is not permanent. And life is the real thing. The body is subordinate to it...[last two lines are not clear]

13. [K125] [Copy of page 9]

14. [K124] To understand the true form of God is difficult. In the Qur’an it is forbidden to picture God

with form. If you walk on the path of righteousness, then you will not feel the need for it. It requires great effort to walk on the path [of righteousness] i.e. tapas. When a person practices tapas (riyajat), divine insight (ma’rifa) will automatically come. A sura from the Qur’an says

something to this effect, Ajjain jahidu fina tabulana riyajat - He who performs tapas, I regard him to be on the path. It would not be proper to give him full knowledge about it. But before you proceed on the path of Allah, you must discipline the mind. It is strategic to strengthen the

defences, with fortifications. If an army does not move how can the war of righteousness be fought. O dear friend! Know this that the body is the kingdom of the heart. Do not think that the heart has many armies. The Qur’an says: Maya alam rabbuk janud ilahu - The army of Allah, do not think that it has to beseige the mind/heart. The heart is created for the realization of God. To find the way to attaining a vision of God is a man’s true task. For the vision of God, divine sight is necessary.

15-16. [K123-122] [This appears to be a two page copy of the well-known Arabic durud or prayer from the Qur’an which is recited to pay respects to the Prophet Mohammed. It is signed by:] Pirzadah Syed

Noor. Syed Amin Khandhar, presently a scribe in an Urdu school at Shirdi.

Qur’an. It is incomplete.]

18. [K120] [This page is all in Arabic.] [On this page is the Tajnama and prayers (du’as) as per Shi’i

and Sunni schools of thought, indicating an equal reverence to both. Prayers have been offered to

Allah and his various names, praying that he should save man from sins and satanic (evil) tendencies.

The names of Allah are given]

19. [K119] [This page has Arabic verses from the Qur’an - Fatiha (1st sura) and a few verses from the

second sura.]

20. [K118] [The meaning is the same as page 12 [K126], but written at a different time, and longer by 4-5 lines] In the name of Allah the most beneficent and merciful. Religious emotion in full is purely spiritual. It is not material. Secondly it means that you will see the world as material or as only relatively real (until you have a vision of God). Parvardigar! O Dear One! O Dear One! The material (relative state) world is unreal. There is no place for intellect and inference. Those who regard the spirit as without beginning, this is not true. It is wrong to address the spirit because it is dependent on others. The real form of man is prana - life force. The body is under the control of prana. The people who equate the spirit with the body are wrong. The body is impermanent. Animals also have a spirit which is also impermanent, called dil or heart which seeks the mercy of God.

21. [K117] [The ideas on this page are almost the same as on page 20.[K118]]

22. [K116] [This is the same as page 14 [K124]]

It is difficult to know the true reality (haqiqa) or realize God (ma’rifa). The Islamic religious law (shari’a) does not permit any further probe into reality because it is beyond comprehension. We have to work hard on the Islamic religious path. Those who follow spiritual practices automatically have the realization of God (ma’rifa). Before efforts are put in, one should understand one’s thought processes. How can one progress? The body is the kingdom of the heart and in this kingdom, there is something opposite to the mind.

[There is an Arabic quotation:]

Whoever has made efforts with a truthful heart, for the world hereafter, he has created a true path. He looks for a witness for God’s works. This witness depends on true knowledge of God.

23-26. [K115-112] [These pages have scraps of modi script]

27. [K111] In the name of Allah most beneficent and merciful.

Allah says: We have created spirits (jinns) and man only for the purpose of worship. We have granted him the kingdom and the strength to conquer it. We have also given him the body, hands and feet, with the intention that he should enrich this world. In this way he repays our debt and becomes our true devotee. In this way, like the Emperor, he serves the world and Allah.

28. [K110] Buddhi - intellect should be recognized as a wazir (Prime Minister). Similarly the body, that

is hands, feet etc, are the servants. The heart should be regarded as the treasurer - so greed and envy should be allotted the work of espionage, so that you will be able to know the information about the theft of wealth, and you will be able to attain your purpose. See the brain of the man is divided into

two parts, front and back. The front portion receives the messages, so it is regarded as the reporter or the transmitter of information. The back portion is regarded as the protector of what is received - like a telegraph officer or editor. [You should entrust or make proper use of various organs and senses. And in the front portion of the brain is the power of thinking and analysing, while the back portion is memory.]

29. [K109] The wazir governs the administration of the kingdom and makes all the decisions and

arrangements. The buddhi - intellect should be regarded as a wazir of the Emperor, the mind. He should be able to control those conspiring against him. He has to be alert to who is rebellious. Likewise the intellect has to be ever vigilant to those enemies who wage war against the moral kingdom. [The six enemies are anger, greed, jealousy etc.] It must boost the morale of the obedient and put down rebellion so that the kingdom may survive.

30. [K108] One should not befriend evil-minded people. Do not be in league with them to commit theft

or deceive others. If one observes this discipline, then the purpose of life is fulfilled. They also are able to win grace of God. On the other hand, if one acts against this one will be regarded as a thief or deceiver and people will regard one with suspicion. And one may also be punished for one’s bad conduct. O Dear Friend! There is a part within....

31. [K107] There are certain acts or types of behaviour which destroy all goodness. Good acts form

character and raise man’s status. There are many types of behavious but four are given here : 1. Animalistic behaviour with traits of lust, anger or greed.

2. Aggressive behaviour like that of a dog, wolf or tiger. 3. Satanic or evil behaviour.

4. Angelic or divine behaviour.

32. [K106] A man who is not virtuous behaves like a Satan, but man has the intelligence, by the virtue

of which he can behave like an angel. Strive always to perfect your knowledge, abjure from evil deeds, wish well to all people, and keep the bad and evil-minded persons at a distance. Live with honour, realizing the greatness of the nama (Name of God), always be happy. Know that ignorance, deceit and pretentiousness are vices. Truly speaking human nature is fourfold; dog-like, pig-like, satanic or angelic. A dog is not judged to be bad because of his skin but because he symbolizes anger, and the pig greed. Man can be morally elevated above animalistic tendencies due to the ability to discriminate and intellect.

33. [K105] Nothing is bad because of its form or appearance, but it is bad because of the character

which is under the control of desires which are unholy or which reflects animal qualities. It is the character which reflects the true nature, so the qualities of dogs and pigs are present in human nature, which determines whether a man is satanic or angelic. If you come to understand that there is an inner Controller, you come to assess your deeds and find out which of the four above qualities influence and predominate over you. Remember whatever actions you do, the corresponding qualities will develop and will always remain a part of you. These qualities constitute the core of morality and all these qualities will be according to the order of the one in command.

34. [K104] If you triumph over lust and anger they will not be able to keep you under their control. Then

man has been commanded to keep the dog of greed and the pig of lust under control and subject them to the control of the discrimination. If a man does this, his character will enjoy the state of bliss. On the contrary if he comes under the control of vices, he will be totally ruined.

35. [K103] If a man is shown his true character he will see that he is standing with his hands tied before

a pig, a dog or a Satan (under the influence of the animal qualities of greed, rage or evil). If a

musulman is made to stand before a kafir (a non-believer), the non-believer will torture him. An

angel, if subjected to a dog or a Satan, will suffer far worse than the suffering meted out to a Muslim by a non-believer.

36. [K102] If the external appearance is in conformity with the internal being, and if desires, such as greed are in the ascendant, that man will resemble a pig. And if anger is predominant, that man will look like a wolf. If you see this in a dream, note that man is like a tyrant.

37. [K101] If the appearance is under the control of the character then it will reflect what is within. If

you realize that there is an inner Controller, then review your actions and way of living, and decide which of the four tendencies are predominant in you. Those qualities will arise in you according to the actions you perform and will always be your companions and these qualities arise according to the one who commands.

38. [K100] If you tie the pig of vices, then contentment, fear of God, humility, wisdom, goodness and

meekness will arise in you. If you become a slave of the dog of vices, then insolence, impurity, pride, boastfulness, ego, false humility, regarding others as inferior, and keeping close to base types of people will become a part of your character. If you keep this dog under control, then success, honour, greatness and forgiveness will arise in you, and all these good qualities will be your companions till the last.

39. [K99] Vices, such as deceiving others, betrayal, embezzlement, insincerity, producing cheap

shoddy goods, cunning, being devious in your dealings, unrighteous behaviour, destroying the faith of others, not being true to yourself, self-deceit (suppression of the conscience), all can overpower a man. Do not be under their control, triumph over them. If you truly discriminate - then wisdom, knowledge, learning, ingenuity, ability, good conduct, caring for the welfare of others, perseverance - all these good qualities will arise in you and will keep you company until the end of your life and will serve you well. Those actions which produce bad habits are called vices.

40. [K98] Light is like a clean mirror, one can see oneself. Bad habits are like the smoke or darkness

which obscures the heart. But on the Day of Judgment in a new age, there will be a voice from heaven. Guard yourself and protect your virtue from the Doomsday. Good qualities are the light which sway the heart and destroy the stain and the feeling of guilt in you.

Jali (water) avatar and then Thali (land) avatar. After this, there was the Brahmin Vamana and then the Rajput (Rama), then Gavli (Krishna) and then Musalmans. In the subloka all the people were indifferent. There were four avatars in krita yuga (Matsya, Kurna, Varaha and Narasimha) and three avataras in the treta (Vamana, Parasurama and Rama) and two avataras in dwapara yuga (Krishna and Balarama). Thereafter two avatars Shesha and Kalanki are listed, who are referred to in Islam as Mehdi and Alehussalman. After Maccha, Kaccha, Varaha, Narasimha, Parasurama, Krishna, they list Ibrahim, Kalanki, Alehussalman and Buddha.

There are thousands of avatars in the Kaliyuga. The methods of worship for everyone are different. The present Kaliyuga avatar is Sai Baba. In this world there are always 10-20 avatars of similar kind living at the same time.

2. God’s power - do that which suggests itself to you. Many avatars have been born in this world and also in the kaliyuga. According to the conception of the Hindus from Vedic times, avatars rule and exercise great powers.

54. [K84] [Qawwali (Islamic devotional song) in honor of Sai Baba]

Who can sing the praises of our Sai Baba? Every man is a slave of Sai Baba.

Spirits as well as men are captivated by Sai Baba. God is our Beloved and takes the name of Sai Baba. In the two worlds the name of Sai Baba resounds.

Sai Baba embodies the Vedas, as also Allah.

We give Sai Baba all honours respectfully saluting and bowing before him. Sai Baba operates on two planes, in Shirdi and all over the world.

Sai Baba is Supreme in both the present world and the next. The whole universe is vibrant with Sai Baba.

55. [K83] [Qawwali cont:]

If one says ‘I do not get a son’, Sai Baba can grant him a child. That is the greatness of Sai Baba.

Even if you are not destined to get a fruit [child] Whatever Sai Baba says will happen.

It is difficult to understand his deep mysteries But that is his own idiosyncrasy.

His speech is like that of Maulana Gausul Ajaya Dastgir.

He to whom he gives the chilim (pipe), they can command like him. [i.e. by his blessing they can also perform miracles]

56. [K82] [Qawwali cont:]

No one understands his outer aspects

So how can they understand his inner hidden qualities? Mysterious are the ways of nature.

What capacity has Amir Saheb to talk about the qualities of our Sai Baba? The darbar (audience) of Sai Baba is that of a qalandar.

Abdul is a slave of his and he is guided by him as his murshid (spiritual Master).
