Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai and Institution
Abstract
In this research article we have tried to explore the power
of “Intuition”, “Inspiration” and Language; and their mutual relationship in the expression of Sufistic and Philosophical concepts
in the poetry of Shah Abdul Latif Bhitai. During our study it has
been discovered that most of the great poetry, especially that of
classical poets of Sindh, including Shah Latif, is a result of some
revelation or intuitive power rather than just a conscious effort.
Ofcourse in temporal and worldly matters the poet uses his powers of observation, study and wisdom but in most metaphysical
and cosmic facts it’s his intuition that works. The readers or listeners would only understand that quality of great poetry if the
poet is able to create similar state of ecstasy in them. With the
help of verses from Shah Jo Risalo the concept has been explained. There are several verses in which the poet seems to have
expressed ideas, which a person of lesser intellect can not comprehend and even scholars of high caliber have to grapple with
words to understand and explain. Such verses were composed in a
state of ecstasy by the poet and it seems that the reader also needs
to have a similar state of mind to understand the actual concept.
