Intellectual Meanings (Dimensions) of ‘Unity of Being Philosophy’ in Hadrat Sultan Bahoo's Persian Poetry


Hadrat Sultan Bahoo (RA) was a man of enormous mysticism and certainty. His spiritual experience is aromatic. What is his poetry? His poetry is spellbinder of spiritual treasures. It is so full of manifestations and observations that its interpretation is very obvious for it’s a spiritual and intellectual reality. This kind of commentary and interpretation is a clear expression of his aesthetics and conscionable feelings. The manifestations of oneness are often revealed in the mirror of exuberance, because of the phenomenon of absolute existence. This is a beautiful phantom of mystic experience and revelation.

From many centuries, Persian poetry has a fragrance of this experience and its expression is so colorful and diverse. Sannai, Attar, Rumi, Sadi, Ameer Khusro and Hafiz’s poetry ‘scenario of love’; these all poets give the true vision of waḥdat al-wujūd (unity of being) aesthetics. The creation of this article manifests itself from oneness, which is the foundation of this fantasy.
These powerful thoughts lit up the creative horizons of poetry. The multicolor cultures of poetry and homogeneity of religious cultures form a visionary system, which previews all colors of oneness. This journey never stops and can never be stopped. Because its expression is practical and poetry gives emotions to this expression and appears on the face of spirituality. The vision and aesthetics of this poetry travel for centuries and reaches Sultan Bahoo (RA) and his spiritual experience makes it a mesmerizing effect, which reflects the fusion of concept and dream. The trueness of his creative experience kindles Gnostics and mysticism in the poetry. His poetry’s moral system exists on spiritual sensations. The experience of unity of affecting the creative environment in such a way that all these colorful scenes are expressed from the manifestation of obligatory existence. If you look at the first poem of his poetry collection, how beautifully the spiritual sensation turns into the perception of oneness. He highlights the spiritual aesthetics in the intellectual context of absolute existence.

I am certain within the universe there none worthy of worship besides Hoo
There is no existence or objective in both worlds besides Hoo
In hand with the sword of negation come alone without grief of hesitation
Depending on acquaintance other than the truth is no triumph besides Hoo
Negate all besides Allah and seek Allah from Allah
Keep your sight toward unison there is no purpose besides Hoo
He is first He is last manifests His splendor
Actual Divinity manifests from the truth there is none besides Hoo
He is Hoo He is truth I know none other than Hoo
He is Hoo He is truth I don’t recite any other than Hoo
Listen, o friend of passion, there is no trinity or duality
He is One He is the purpose none exists beside Hoo
I mention one I search one and one I keep in my heart like a flower
That one I find one besides that I find none other
I traversed entire universe I only liked that Truth (Haqq)
I called out one seen one and seen none other than one
I am consoler of myself nothing is in my hand besides Yahoo
I have attached my heart and soul with Hoo and not attached with none other besides Hoo
This poetry is interpreting the mystic creativeness of Hadrat Sultan Bahoo (RA). This poetry is unfolding the certainty of his spiritual vision. The true sensation of sound aesthetics reflects his internal experiences and observations. This poem is written on the experience of unity of being, it reflects his mysticism, conscience, knowledge, and focus. He has mounted on this spiritual experience and this is the musky tenderness of his concept. The trueness of his experience is spread all over the poem; it’s like the fragrance of blossom or the lyrics of diverse colors or the scattering fragrance of negation and affirmation in the jasmine sapling or the munificence of perfect master. All these various colors adapt the model of oneness and give a new context to aesthetics, that’s why this poetry takes the true spirit of unity of being and it extends the visionary thoughts. Oneness becomes so prominent in its aesthetics that, its manifestations are revealed from the curtains of exuberance. In the tidal wave of emotions, it deviates from the techniques of poetry. Sometimes the rhymes are missing and it loses its track as well. It seems to divert from the general poetry rules. Missing rhymes does not dilute its richness and melody, but often this technical freeness reflects the aesthetics of poetry in a paranormal and unique way. These technical shortcomings don’t take away the original concept of poetry and keep them revolving around the spiritual sphere. Absolute existence of oneness is the witness of aesthetics. The adaption of immense emotions provides new and precious experiences. Have a look at some of his poetry, which has obligatory and absolute spiritual aesthetics.…… The temporary and possible context of ‘me’ scatters a delicate fragrance.
Thousand-time remorse that there are a thousand forms of arrogance
In the same remorse, I sigh a hundred thousands of time
Sadly I am unaware how to take this arrogance out forever
When will you get me relief from it remorse thousands of times?
Alas, where is Divine law (sharia)? of the spiritual path I am neglectful
And I am unaware of this reality thousand times regretful
I have seen what I have seen and eaten what I have eaten
Within my chest is lounging scar thousand times regretful
Where is my beloved? That old consoler where is he

In his separation in sorrow, you call him friend again and again.
