Taimurlang (Taimur/Timur Lang) wanted to kill the sultan for his shameful act. So he started to manufacture swords on his iron workshop himself & started to recruit young villagers & shared his intentions with the youths of the village & promised to pay them a silver coin every month. In those days making a single silver coin was impossible. So youngsters joined his army in great numbers. With their help, Taimur lang attacked the sultan and defeated him and took control of his sultanate. But he didn’t kill him; rather he sent him to live in a village & even gave him a pension.
After that, there was no stopping in his conquest of the world, the area he conquered then now comprise of Iraq, Iran, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Azerbaijan, Georgia, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Tajikistan, Kyrgyzstan, large parts of Turkey & Syria & the northwestern portions of India(Delhi).
When the 80-years-old Taimurlang had gone for hunting, God met him again in the form of the Jinda Saint. He explained to him that if he did not perform worship, he would fall in hell. Kabir Saheb reminded Taimurlang how he had only one Roti at home. At that time, Taimurlang fell at the feet of Baba and took initiation. Then, he handed over the kingdom to his grandson. He lived for ten more years. That soul is in birth and death. But the seed of worship has been sown. If God had asked him to do worship in that poverty, he wouldn’t have believed it. Only Supreme God Kabir ji knows how a soul can be freed from the clutches of Kaal.
