The patch work habit, which my guide has given to me, is always a matter of pride to me. (I consider it a boon from him). O disciple! wear it humbly and reverantly.
Note: According to Hazrat Data Ganj Bux of Lahore, the patch work coat of an ascetic is like a coffin to him. After wearing it he should lead a life of self-abnegation. It is a symbol of piety. After wearing it the ascetic draws inspiration from the Prophet of Islam who used to wear a blanket. A guide or saint gives a patchwork coat to his follower or disciple after the latter has passed through a course of rigorous exercises in certain services to Allah and to public without return. He should always prize it as a garment of honour, and should do nothing to bring disgrace to it.

The patched cloak that my guide gave me, is my pride,
Sit with reverence, wearing it, oh! you disciple.
