GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
Clown: Well. Don't ask anything. I came to see the pandit with the hope
that I will get peace of mind here. But the pandit was sailing in the ocean of
anxiety. He has also dragged me along. So, both of us are suffocating in
anxiety of our earning. You always say one should have faith in the Lord who
has hriven us life. But this new trend in the king who is the wage hriver is a
cause ofworry to us. The king and the crying do not go together. Where the
crying is there, where is the need of a clown there?
Minister: What you say is true Mr. Joker.
Pandit I am astonished atwhat an un-educated, stupid, traveller has uttered.
He was neither a scholar nor a learned pandit. I told the king in strong words
that let me have a debate with him but the king did not listen to me at all. That
travellerjust said something that went deep into the king's heart. After that he
left for his hometown.
Now, if this position remains, who will care for us? Where shall we go for
earning bread in this old age?
Minister: 0 Pandit, no doubt it is something to cause anxiety but when we
are in service, we should remain steadfast in serving with love. The king may
believe in anything. We should consider him as our master and be at his
service.
Pandit: Yes, you are right in your own way. You are the Minister and you
are needed always but my earning is through the scripture. When the king's
relih>1on becomes different, then where will my need arise? Maybe after sometime
the same traveler will [,Tfab the minister-ship also. When he could lead the king
astray, he would go to any extent. So, it is better you also start worrying. Ifnot
now, you may have to think after a few days.
Minister: What can we do?
Pandit: We should make the king understand. He should not leave the
Shiva worship.
Minister: Yes, but what should we tell him?
Pandit: He remembers some saint.
Minister: I have heard from the maids that he remembers Nanak.
Pandit: We should all get together and start speaking against Nanak.
Automatically, the king's mind will tum away from Nanak.
Clown: 0 hollow thinker, neither you nor I have met or seen Nanak.
Neither we know his goodness nor his bad points.We have neither stayed
near him nor ever talked to him. On what [,Tfounds can we speak against him?
How can we keep on telling lies?
Pandit: This is diplomacy. "What do you say", respected Minister?
Minister: Diplomacy and telling lies do not mean the same.
