114 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
Guru: The need is imperative. This is an essential foundation. This is
what I am going to preach. What I am saying is an enlivenment in this life.
The acacia tree has blTown leaves. You say it is a tree. I say, no. Flowers
should blTOW, should blossom and should give frablTance. It should get loaded
with fruits and the fruits should ripen and hang. You will say the tree has
blTown fruits it is over.
I will say, not yet. I say it should exude gum, from each and every
branch, so much so that it should overflow. Then only the tree is complete.
Bahawal: But what is the shortcoming in us?
Guru: You are in supernatural powers. You want to show marvels. You
believe in concentration ofmind, but you do not have the pull of love in you.
You do not ask the Lord for His love. Your mind does not get the sacred
touch of the Lord like an electric current. You do not get the sensation of the
Lord in you. Your soul does not get awaken-ness. Your mind is enticed by
worldly desires. The mabr1C charm of worldly desires does not go. You do not
get exuberance and rapture of your soul. Your mind is burning with desires
and passions and you are living in ignorance of the saintly living. Your mind
is suffering because of greed. You do not try to cure your greed, but instead
you make it greedier.
Don't mind, but I must say that despite your penances, remaining awake
for nights, fasts, renunciation, controlling your senses, doing concentration
and saying God's name you are still in the trap of worldly desires.
The love sensation, like the thunder of lightning has not awakened your
sleeping soul. It has not killed you in the love of the beloved.
Ifthere is some love in somebody, then you are not able to judge whether
the Lord loves you or not.
Ifyou come in devotion, then you try to become a lover of the Lord. You
say you are a lover. In the process you call him an idol, beloved without
mercy, hard hearted. Don't try to become a lover. Don't try to make the Lord
a beloved. You become a beloved. Make Lord the lover.
Farid: We beloveds! Full of crimes, dirty, why should the Lord love us?
Why would he become a lover of dirty people like us?
Guru: He is a lover. It is true. He is a lover from the bebrinning. We don't
try to become beloveds. We are beloveds but we don't try to become one. It is
true. The mother is a lover of the child before he is born. Ifthe Lord were not
a lover then why would he have created mankind? We don't become beloveds.
This is our mistake. We should have a craving in us, a prayer in us. We
should be keen. We should be in search.
