Abstract
Several themes of mysticism in the folk literature. Various themes and topics creep into the folk literature only when those become privileged enough to be accepted by the general society and people at large. The mystic consciousness has been an important component of the Indus Valley culture. Even in the pre Islamic period, the Indus Valley had already produced the adequate material on the spiritual aspect of human life. The author has focused on the significance of spiritual guide in the Punjabi literature and the impact of Sufi thought on life and subsequently on the folk literature. The symbol of spinning wheel and its spiritual meaning , the folk stories and metaphors inspired from sufism and the value system based on Sufi ethics have been analysed in depth and presented in a coherent manner. The bottom line of the author is that themes and topics first gain popularity at the level of people and subsequently become a part of the folk literature.
