	Faqir Chand Meets the Tibetan Book of the Dead
		Although Faqir was not conversant with the Bardo Thotrol, he was nevertheless steeped in its philosophy as taught to him by his guru, Shiv Brat Lal of Gopiganj.
		It was at this point that Faqir's meditation took a new turn: instead of enjoying the bliss of inner sights and sounds, Faqir turned his attention to the source from which these manifestations arose.
		Faqir Chand also reiterates the teachings of the Bardo Thotrol on this issue of karmic propensities (the principle that karma sways one away from the clear void light at death, if one is not attached beforehand in the empty luminosity).

	Faqir of Ipi's Cross Border Nexus :: Khyber.ORG (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The reason why a defiant Islamic warrior like the Faqir should have pitted his band against the Islamic Pakistan, amongst other factors, was his own vision of the emergence of Pakistan as a rival force against his monopolistic claim as the sole Islamic warrior.
		In the words of Allan Warren the Faqir of Ipi's claim that Islam was in danger, even after the establishment of Pakistan rang hollow in the ears of many tribesmen.
		According to one theory the legend of the Faqir as an irreconcilable recalcitrant was kept alive by Qayyum Khan to keep the Centre in perpetual awe of the Frontier tribes whom Qayyum Khan alone knew how to handle and control.

	Faqir
		One would be hard pressed to find a guru as disarmingly open as Faqir, who, unlike most of his colleagues in the Punjab, had repeatedly confessed to his human failings and his intellectual limitations.
		Maybe what makes Faqir Chand's confession of ignorance so appealing and so believable is that he is stating a universal fact--a fact which is evident to every human being who has ever lived: we simply don't know the why of our own existence, much less the reason behind the universe.
		Faqir Chand can be regarded as an enlightened being in the sense that he came to grips with the Unknowable.

	The Unknowing Sage: The Life and Work of Baba Faqir Chand (Site not responding. Last check: )
		The value of Faqir Chand's revelations of ignorance is that most gurus (I am tempted to say all) in India and elsewhere are in the same lot, but falsely parade their attainments to sincere, if gullible, disciples.
		However, we should not take Faqir's confessions as precluding the possibility that certain rare saints do have access to knowledge far beyond our comprehension, and that being residents of those higher regions have the ability to directly transmit such information to their respective followers.
		First, Faqir uses the term in an absolute sense equating "Ignorance" (with a capital "I") with God, thereby agreeing with many saints and mystics that the Lord is an unqualified Mystery (as Shiv Dayal Singh put it: "Wonder, Wonder, Wonder; Wonder hath assumed a form").

	One Man Against an Empire - Faqir of Ipi :: Khyber.ORG
		In the early autumn of 1936 the Faqir of Ipi openly adopted the role of champion of Islam.
		However, despite all the Faqir's extraordinary appeals to Muslim tribesmen, they failed in their main purpose due to the inability of the tribes to combine their considerable fighting power in any common cause under a unified command, even though the Faqir's lashkars achieved quite a few stunning successes by blocking British lines of communication.
		While the Faqir needed Afghan assistance, or at least friendly neutrality, for his activities against the British who were, after all, his chief enemy, the Pir ventured in an opposite direction: he agitated for the overthrow of the existing Afghan government in favour of Amanullah's restoration.

	Kashmiri Poets: Shamas Faqir
		The Sufi concepts offana (annihilation), baqa (continuity), the terms zikir (remembrance of God) and fikir (contemplation), the symbolism of the 'diver' in search of 'pearls', the images of zulf (seductive curl) and khal (the mole on the cheek of the Beloved) are seen to recur in many a poem.
		A striking feature of Shamas Faqir's poems is the diction: using largely the Kashmiri idiom current in his time, he also employs words from Persian, Arabic and Sanskrit.
		Several lyrics of Shamas Faqir centre round the theme of the mystic's quest for the primal cause of this universe.
