And like ibn Arabi and others, Sachal Sarmast taught a vision of Unity called Wahdat al-Wujud, which others have compared to the great nondualist teachings of Advaita Vedanta within Hinduism and Zen/Chan within Buddhism. Hazrat Sufi Sachal Sarmast رضي الله عنه once said, “He (Allah is everywhere and in each and every phenomenon. He is sometimes called Sachoo, The Truthful. His teachings have often been compared with Hazrat Mansoor Hallaj رضي الله عنه, the Sufi martyr who ecstatically proclaimed, “I am the Truth.” Rather than blindly following tradition, Sachal urged people to seek the truth directly. The name Sachal Sarmast can be translated as Mystic of Truth. Hazrat Sufi Sachal Sarmast رضي الله عنه belonged to the sufi sect whose doctrine was martyrdom. Though his verses immortalized him, he was denounced as an infidel and sentenced to death – a decree that was never carried out due to his popularity in the court of Talpur rulers. Sufi Sarmast revolted against the mullah order with his poetry and philosophy, based on the doctrine of An’al Haqq – I am the Truth. The clergy held tremendous power over the impoverished masses and the persecution of religious minorities was the order of the day. Also called ‘shair-e-haft zaban’ because he wrote poetry in seven languages – Sindhi, Urdu, Persian, Punjabi and Balochi among them – His time saw the decline of the Kalhora dynasty and the rise of the Talpur rule in Sindh. Sachidino, Sachoo(the truthful) and Sachal Sarmast were all names given to Hazrat Abdul Haq Farooqi because of the radical sufi pursuits with which he challenged the rigid mindset of the clergy of his times. Hazrat Sufi Sachal Sarmast رضي الله عنه, one of the great mystics of Sindh, is known as the second Hazrat Mansoor Hallaj رضي الله عنه because of his poetry and philosophy.
