Abstract
We are living in turmoil conditions, to make this world free from the racial hatred and differences religious harmony and tolerance is needed. The prime objective of the religion is to guide the mankind towards the right path rather than to create differences and hatred. Mostly people use the religion to achieve their wasted interests which is the main cause of loss of unity and love among the people. Sufis are the people who always raised their voice against the evil practices of the society. Sachal Sarmast is one of the great Sufi poets of Sindh, infact of the world. We find the elements of intuition, exaltation and euphoria in the poetry of Sachal Sarmast. Sachal Sarmast believed in the Wahadat-ul-Wajood and he preached the same through his poetry. Sachal believed that all the human beings are siblings of Hazrat Adam (A.S.) regardless of being Muslim, Sikh or Christians. He says that division of mankind on the basis of religion is un natural. Sachal Sarmast is the poet of love so he preaches love and he lays emphasis on the purity of heart and soul. Today we have lost tolerance opponents are treated as enemies. Only and only through tolerance and respect for others beliefs society can grow into a harmonious and united one, for which well wishers of the mankind have ever been striving. Thepoetry of Sachal Sarmast carries the message of religious harmony and tolerance.
