The poem He Came To Know Himself was written by Sachal Sarmast
In this poem we learn that one who knows himself and also knows that he is an amazing creature in the world created by God cannot have any image and view of any other thing except God who is all-knowing and all-seeing. Man begins loving Him and in return He blesses him with great love which is the ultimate goal of human life. In this kind of things, everything else is put in the shade and becomes meaningless, and like Mansur, he happy and satisfied, and is will to be hanged on the gallows to get his head cut off only for the love of his beloved God. As a whole the poet is of the view that man's stay on earth is temporary. It is better for a man to have been loved. Briefly, the union of one soul with another soul through the alchemy of love is the highest mystic truth.
He came to know Himself
Naught else had He in view
To be able to realize this
He got enmeshed in love
He alighted from high heaven
To pour a cascade of love
Became Mansur to mount the gallows
Just to have his head cut off.
He treaded the bazaars of Egypt
Just to be sold for a slave
Sachu speaks the bare Truth
To speak of His sojourn on earth.
(Sachal Sarmast)
