"The Sufis speak of the Aftab-i-Nim-Shab or midnight sun. He who has learned to rise above the body and to behold this sun which knows no setting, which knows no dawn, is the true sikh or disciple." (Darshan Singh)

Mystic Hymn of Sant Tulsi Sahib: Dil ka Hujra Saf Kar - Light and Sound on The Path
“The original copy of ‘Ghat Ramayana’ written by Saint Tulsi Saheb kept in a glass case in the ashram of Saint Tulsi Saheb in Hathras, Uttar Pradesh.”
हाथरस, उत्तर प्रदेश में संत तुलसी साहब के आश्रम में शीशे के पिटक में रखी उन्हीं द्वारा रचित ‘घट रामायण’ की मूल प्रति (चित्र सौजन्य: पूज्य सत्य प्रकाश बाबा)
(Photo Courtesy of Pujya Satya Prakash Baba [and Pravesh K. Singh])
Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras had some Sufi or Muslim disciples. Sometimes he composed hymns for them, the most well-known of these being a hymn addressing Sheikh Taqi. The one below seems to be in this category. It was published in Ajaib’s Grace magazine, May-June 2003.
Param Sant Tulsi Sahib of Hathras, India:
Chorus:
Dil ka hujra (1) saf kar, jana ke ane ke liye,
Dhyan gairo ka utha uske bithane ke liye.
Translation:
Cleanse the chamber of your heart, so that the Beloved may enter,
Remove all the foreign impressions, so that He can take His seat there.
Verse:
Chashme dil se dekh yaha jo jo tamashe ho rahe,
Dilsita kya kya hai tere dil satane ke liye.
Translation:
See with the heart's eye the astonishing spectacle of this world,
Oh heart -- ravishing scenes appear there to entice you.
Ek dil lakho tamnna us pai aur zyada havis,
Phir thikana hai kaha uske tikane ke liye?
One heart, with many desires, and always the lust for more,
Where is there any place for the Lord to come and reside?
Nakali mandir masjido me jae sade aphosa hai,
Kudarati masjid ka sakin dukh uthone ke liye.
It is a great pity that, going in the false [imitation] temples and mosques,
The indweller of the true mosque [the human body] is made to suffer.
Kudarati kabe ki tu maharab me sun gaur se,
A rahi dhur se sada tere bulane ke liye.
We should listen with attention in the prayer niche of the true Kaaba, (2)
The Sound is coming from the Court of the Lord and is calling you.
Kyo bhatkata phir raha tu e talashe yar me,
Rasta shah rag me hai dilvar pai jane ke liye.
Why are you wandering around lost in search of the Beloved?
The way to reach the charming one lies through the shah rag (3)
Murshade kamil se mil sidak aur saburi se taki.
Jo tujhe dega faham shah rag ke pane ke liye.
O devotee, meet the Perfect Master with sincerity and patience.
He will give you the secret to find the shah rag.
Goshe batin ho kushada jo kare kuch din amal.
La ilaha allahu akbar pai jane ke liye.
If you do the practice for a few days, the inner way will open before you.
It is the path to reach Allah, the One God, the Most High.
Yah sada Tulsi ki hai amil amal kar dhyan de.
Kun kuran me hai likha allahu akbar ke liye.
This is the call of Tulsi: O practitioner, do the practice with concentration.
The kun [Shabd] described in the Koran, will take you to Allah, the Most High.

NOTES:
______
(1) A hujra is a small room for solitary meditation attached to a mosque.
(2) The Kaaba is the most holy place of Muslim pilgrimage in Mecca and the maharab or prayer niche indicates the direction facing the Kaaba in a mosque. The maharab or prayer niche of the true Kaaba is the third eye on the human forehead above and between the two eyes, alternatively called the Shiv netra or tisra til.
(3) The shah rag or "royal vein" is the central, subtle vein on the forehead that leads to Trikuti. It is also called sukhman nari.

"That which you came into this life to obtain is the Name of the Lord, which can be found in the house of the saints. Trade in your ego and gain back your soul, and in the scales of the heart, weigh only the Name. Carrying only the Name, begin the journey in the caravan of saints, shedding all else that is false and would bind you. Then all will bless you, and your face will be radiant in the home of God. Few are they who trade in this commodity. Nanak is ever a sacrifice unto them." (Guru Arjun Dev, Book of Sukmani, Peace Lagoon translation)

The Vegetarian Prayer of Thanksgiving from the Nag Hammadi Library (Coptic Gnostic Scriptures):
gnostic #hermetic #gnosis #spirituality #gnosticgospels #vegan #vegetarian
The Gnostics Were Vegetarians: The vegetarian Prayer of Thanksgiving is part of the Hermetic scriptures of Egypt and is also part of the Nag Hammadi Library, the Gnostic Gospels. At the end of the prayer the final verse reads: “When they had said these things in the prayer, they embraced each other and they went to eat their holy food, which has no blood in it.”*
“Vegetarian food” — footnote from the Marvin Meyer’s translation of this in, “The Nag Hammadi Scriptures”.
A vegetarian meal. This passage is also found in the Epilogue of Asclepius, in “HERMETICA,” translated by Sir Walter Scott: “Having prayed thus, let us betake ourselves to a meal unpolluted by flesh [animalia] of living things.”
The G.R.S. Mead translation of the same passage: “With this desire we now betake us to our pure and fleshless meal.”

Once I happened to visit Agra and I got one book entitled Prem Bani by the late Hazur Rai Saligram Maharaj. In the book it is written, "Persons with hatred, prejudice and selfishness in their minds can earn nothing but more sufferings, for themselves as well as for others by doing inward practice. But, one, with shortcomings and faults, who cherishes a strong desire to get rid of his shortcomings and faults also, would surely be benefited by simran, dhyan, and bhajan. The reason for this is that by daily practice of simran and regular concentration, the will power of a devotee becomes strong and he becomes capable of overcoming his faults and weaknesses." (a quote from Huzur Maharaj Rai Saligram by way of Baba Faqir Chand found in the book, The Unknowing Sage)
