The priceless treasure is that great joy which man, finding it within, longs to become complete; a supreme knowledge or primal power at whose dawning breaks the impregnable fortress-prison of existence. The priceless treasure is unfeigned as well. For deceitful guile or hypocrisy are not its marks. This treasure is steadfast; even after the joy of attaining it, it does not run out. This treasure is Sai Niranjan.
How shall I attain him? This search is man's unceasing urge. That is why even in the primeval mythic age the idea of animism could be born, in which man knew the omnipotent as his own spiritual power, and beheld Him active in the form of a living world, nowhere else. Yet in the later age of religion, after this power had been assigned to gods and God, in today's age of science this same man has turned into a spiritually powerless brute creature, an ignorant wise man. In the world of science there is no priceless treasure. Its gaze is bound to the glass of cause and effect, turbid and incomplete. World-conquering science has therefore always failed to conquer man's mind, for without the unceasing search for that unfeigned treasure there can be no contemplation in the deepest province of the human mind.
Where does this unreachable one dwell? What is his form, his nature? - Failing to find the answers to such questions in the flow of the world, man's God finally became invisible, formless - the world became maya, the afterworld eternal, the truth. All urges to action and all knowledge seem restless with the longing for release from the world, ever hastening towards an unknown dark God.
From precisely such a haze-shrouded situation Fakir Lalon seeks the root of the primal truth. Nowhere else - what man is searching for, that priceless treasure, is to be found only in the present, and the greatest present is man - the man of this moment, the living simple man.
Serve the simple man - see, not with divine knowledge.
You will find the priceless treasure in the present.
Worship man's two feet - the real thing will remain pure.
If you die, all turns to earth - take this distinction knowingly.
But is Lalon fakir, after all, averse to God? No, never. The truth is that his thought of God, interrogated in terms of attainable things, gradually built a non-Vedic path in which God is far more this-worldly than miraculous. To reach the depths of this meaning, if we try to know Lalon fakir's creation-theory and its historical links, we shall see that there Lalon strives in the search of Semitic esoteric spirituality. As far as is known, the esoteric sages of the Torah, the Injil and the Quran in every age believed in a different interpretation of scripture; particularly on coming to creation-theory they were intensely heterodox. Its wide influence is seen in the Sufism of Islam as well.
The Kabbalah-following Jewish esoteric sages believed, or still believe, that the supreme or primal God is an unconscious 'No'-being. He is not created, nor does He create. He is without want, desireless. So beyond this God they imagined a needy God, active in the longing for the joy of creation, who is neither different from nor identical with the primal God. His name is Jehovah - this world is His creation. In the beginning God was indeed one, and nothing else existed then besides that eternal God. Thus perhaps for hundreds of thousands of crores of years He was alone! Then at some time, for some causeless cause, as it were, the desire for a second awoke. Apart from creating another being like Himself, that solitary God in truth had no other means. To taste the second, God thus kept contracting Himself until He reached a level where the nature of His primal being dissolved in grossness. This awakened God is Jehovah - the great Creator.
