Keywords:

This paper presents the ‘Authenticity of Being' portrayed by Bedil by describing the existential human condition in relation to the superficial realities of this world. Human person, in everyday life, constructs a pseudo self-based on fulfilling the physical and social conditions of routine life and forgets the real self altogether. So the formation of authentic self is considered the primary human responsibility both in oriental gnostic and occidental philosophical tradition.
Bedil pursuits human persons to follow cardinal values based on human devotion and selflessness to transcend from inauthenticity. He considers Passionate Love (Ishq aur Junoon) an enlightened approach for the intuitive experience of Real Self to achieve the ontological meanings and presence of human life.

- Wajdan zariya ilm hai jo anfasi o aafaqi haqaeq ko aik kuliat aur jameyiat ke sath laeq e huzoor, qabil e tajruba aur wajeb ul yaqeen banata hai. Yeh insani shaoor ki who bunyadi quwwat hai jo ghaib ko huzoor krti hai aur mawara e zaman o makan haqaeq ke tanazur ko mahz aqli aur tajreedi nahi rehne deti balke inka fori aur hissi tajruba ata krti hai. Islam ki sufiana rawayat main isey kashf kehte hain. Kashf “ Zehn ki fauq tajrubi ya mawara e shaoor quwwaton ka fa;al ho jana hai”.
