Her clarion call to assimilate human values in thoie dark days won for her the esteem and acclaim of Hindus and Muslims alike and the edge of ruthless proselytisation got blunted. It was no mean achievment on her part in uniting the lost children of one God, when every effort was being made to segregate them from each other. Benevolent God, grant me also such a boon. Lalla's message couched in quartrains called 'Vaks' is very simple and straight bereft of any curves or terseness. It is actually an exhortation to man to indulge in self-cognition.
Mental drill is preamble to self- consciousness.
During the twinkling of an eye it can traverse millions of miles. He, who is proficient enough to put it on rails by controlling its reins, check its wayward demeanour by clipping its wings in the shape of mastering his own inhalaton and exhalation can attain the stage of self- cognition. Worship, in the words of Lalla connotes self- introspection. Worship should be undertaken with the offerings of mental equipoise. Shiva is to be given a bath of tears.
