00:00There was this Fakir who was praying to God with his mattress and beads and books and incense and cups and other holy stuff.
00:10So he had laid out the mattress and on the mattress all these little things were kept and he was kneeling in prayer and he was quite absorbed.
00:18And then there was this mad, crazy, foolish girl rushing to meet her lover.
00:23She had no sense of herself, no sense of time, no sense of etiquette.
00:27She was rushing in such great speed, hurtling through the farms, through the woods.
00:31She did not see that the Fakir was there with all his holy arrangement.
00:36She stumbled upon the Fakir.
00:38She disturbed all the things that had been placed and arranged, disrupted the prayer.
00:43And the Fakir got agitated.
00:45He called from behind, come back, come here you.
00:47And the girl reluctantly came to him and said, whatever you have to say, please say quickly, I'm rushing off.
00:53The Fakir said, are you blind or what?
00:55Don't you see that something pious is happening here?
00:58For the sake of a mere mortal of flesh and blood, you have committed a sacrilege.
01:05The girl said, I'm sorry, Fakir Baba.
01:08Yes, it is true that my beloved is a mere man of flesh and blood.
01:12Probably I'm not yet in love with God.
01:15But allow me to rush to my mortal beloved.
01:19He's very dear to me.
01:20And before I disappear, I have just one question to ask you.
01:24In love of a mere mortal, I totally forgot that you were in the way.
01:31And you say that you are a lover of Allah the Almighty.
01:35And yet you noticed me.
01:36I am loving just a mere man, skin and bones.
01:41And yet my eyes were so firmly set on my beloved that I totally ignored everything else.
01:49But I'm not going to stop or deviate.
01:51How is it that you stopped your prayers for my sake?
01:55I did not stop.
01:57Why did you stop?
01:58I was going to my lover.
01:59You too were with your beloved.
02:01Why did you stop your prayers?
02:03I did not stop.
02:05What kind of faith do you have?
02:07Because of others, if you stop praying, you have no love.
02:11Because of others, if you start praying, you have no love.
02:16Such meaningless prayers.
02:18They stopped because there were influences.
02:21And they start because there are influences.
02:24Unholy prayers.
02:25Unholy prayers.
