90 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II Now, the Guru woke up father. After waking up, Mehta Kalu looked at the son's face with a mind full of love and devotion. The deep sensation that he got from today's miracle, he had not got that deep on the day, when he was blessed with the Lord's name. Today, no deficiency was left. Mehta Kalu got fully immersed in the love of the Lord. Yes, Mehta Kalu has got fully immersed in the love of the Lord. He has perceived Guru Nanak's real form. He has got a sensation of the presence of the omnipresent Lord in his mind, heart and body cells. He is now in the incessant recitation of 0 Lord, 0 Lord and in that remembrance his soul (the spark oflife) has merged with the flame (the Lord). His soul that was a spark has the light of the flame now. He said to his son: That place was full of rapture. The Guru said: Time has not come yet. You have some more time to live in this world. Mehta Kalu now understands the will of the Lord. He has complete faith in the Lord and is in incessant recitation of Name and in ecstasy. The Guru has again planned to travel. Yes, the saviour wants to go. The icy peaks attract the clouds to keep them near. The thunders are in lonl:,'ing to keep the clouds in the sky always. But the clouds have to t,rive coolness and shower everywhere. That is why, they move. Similarly, the Guru departed. Mehta Kalu and mother Tripta are sad, but they are not crying in separation. Today, their hearts do not sink. Today, they are not angry on destiny, they are not angry with son, they are not angry with the Lord. Today, they are in thanks. In thanks is sadness. In sadness is love. In the Lord's will, they are satisfied and cool. They have tears in their eyes, but in ecstasy they dry up in the eyes itself. Today, they see the departure of Guru Nanak as a heavenly grace and mercy. They see the world in suffering, crying, sighing and sobbing and in the heavens, they see the Lord in graciousness and Guru Nanak, under his command, holding a shower ofcoolness in his hand, like an 'always showering cloud' and travelling to shower coolness. This is the gain of awakened living to which the world is sleeping. This is the t,'Teatness of the awakened living that the world considers an illusion, a superstition, or a doubtful thing. The world laughs at it. The world makes a mockery of it. In contrast, it considers good and true, the life full of desires, passions, greed, vices, selfishness and anxieties. This is the difference between the life that the world loves and that Mehta Kalu was living earlier, and the life that Mehta Kalu has got now, of which the Page 100 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II world is ihJTIorant and for this reason, the world is rude and is giving suffering to people who have awakened minds. Today, the· same Mehta Kalu, in his newly acquired awakened living, sees his son, the saviour of the world, Guru Nanak departing. He does wish that he should stay in the family and he should not give separation. He wishes, even more than before, to have his glimpse all the time. But today, he realized that Guru Nanak is in my heart now, he is not for me alone. He is for everybody. He is in everybody's heart. He may live anywhere but he is present in the hearts of those who love him. Like, if you put one thousand bowls of water in moonlight, the moon is there in all of them. So, Mehta Kalu now understands that as my mind has become tranquil, other wandering and suffering minds may also become tranquil. We should sacrifice our sentiment so that the world may benefit. In this prime sacrifice, father Mehta Kalu and mother Tripta see off their dear, 'more dear than their breath' son today and have become a part of the Lord's love for the world. This is the gain of the 'awakened life' that Guru Nanak brought and bestowed on the world and then as you mix rennet with milk to prepare yogurt or cheese, he bestowed the same on Guru Angad and Bhai Buddha for further bestowing it to the world. It is our duty to awaken ourselves in this 'awakened life'. Great Guru Nanak Dev Great Guru Nanak Dev The question of Mehta Kalu and answer by Guru Nanak is repeated once again: Mehta Kalu: How does the sleeping mind awaken? Guru Nanak: One hasto recite His name, rememberHim sitting, standing, walking, sleeping or while doing chores. One should never forget Him. This remembrance, this incessant remembrance breaks the veil ofdesires. This remembrance settles in our mind and removes all distance between our self and the Lord. Let us recite: 'Waheguru, Waheguru, Waheguru. I '0 Lord, 0 Lord, 0 Lord' Starting with at least five minutes a day. Page 101 www.sikhbookclub.com 91
