I do not know whether you have seen real fakirs or not.The way of the fakir is the way of struggle with the physical body, the way of work on the first room. This is a long, difficult, and uncertain way. The fakir strives to develop physical will, power over the body. This is attained by means of terrible sufferings, by torturing the body. The whole way of the fakir consists of various incredibly difficult physical exercises.In Persia fakir simply means a beggar; and in India a great many jugglers call themselves fakirs. And Europeans, particularly learned Europeans, very often give the name of fakir to yogis, as well as to monks of various wandering orders

Saw one in a Little Lulu cartoon. The guy walked on nails, glass, etc, but when he stepped on Little Lulu's discarded peanut shells he grabbed his feet in excruciating pain. Little Lulu's comment? "You're a Faquir"
