GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
Anxieties and fear do not come near him because he has the wealth of
contentment with him. Since he is in contentment he is satiated always and is
happy in what the Lord hrives.
o Machchinder, listen what are the distinctive features of a saint. Nanak
is not telling the qualities ofthis saint in complicated, unpleasant and sorrowful
words that have puzzling meanings, but is telling in an always living, soul
awakening and loving lanhJUage, full of nectar. One who lives with mind
detached from worldly desires will surely reach the Lord. One who meets the
Lord is a saint.
o Machchinder, Nanak says: Our saint does not ask the disciple to pierce
his ears and wear a signet. He does not follow the ritual that the disciple
should first pierce his ears and then only get initiation. The saint, that I have
said, will hJUide the disciples by telling them: That the Lord who is formless,
'He is there'. He is formless but He reveals Himself in His name. One can
reach Him by 'recitation of His name'.
This is his ritual for initiating a person into discipleship. This saint does
not drink wine and eat snacks that may intoxicate, as the yogis drink, but he
drinks the blessed Name that he gets from the Guru and 'recitation of the
Narne' is the wine that he drinks and this is what he eats. This is the wine and
snacks he hrives to the disciples. This saint has comprehension of, not one, but
the six schools of philosophy.
In this way, this saint meets the Supreme Lord and gets eternal peace.
So, 0 Machchinder, 0 Gorakh, our path of 'Living in the family with
detached mind' goes like this.
On listening to all this, they felt wondrousness and bowed to the Guru.
In this way, the dialohJUe with Machchinder came to an end.
The yOhris went to their place of stay and the Guru like a cool, sweet,
blissful breeze went to Sangladeep to bless King Shivnabh.
The Guru's words to Machchinder are repeated once again:
The true path is: 'Recitation ofthe Lord's Name with love'.
Let us also recite:
'WahehJUru, WahehJUru, Waheguru.'
'0 Lord, 0 Lord, 0 Lord'
Starting with at least five minutes a day.
