134 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
Clown: Lies are lies. Even if you say it is diplomacy, they will still be lies.
Pandit: Ifyou tell lies to preach your relil,J1on, then the lies are equivalent
to truth.
Clown: Telling lies is being non-religious.
Pandit: What did you say?
Clown: I said that what you preach by telling lies is not religiousness. It is
irrelil,J1ous. Relil,J1on and truth are saintly things. Being irreligious and telling
lies are devilish things. How can you preach light by showing darkness?
Pandit: 0 simpleton, you do not understand. To fulfill one's need one
can adopt any means.
Clown: Maybe in worldly matters one may adopt any means but for
preaching truth how can you adopt any means? Relil,J1on can be preached by
truth and by its own strenl,Jth and not by deception, force or hypocrisy. The
Pathan rulers have already tried to convert Hindus to Muslim religion by
force, deception, threatening and tyranny but what is the result? Those who
have embraced Muslim religion, their character is the same as before. There
is no change in them. They have not imbibed any goodness in them. Maybe if

the enemies will benefit. That is why I said, whether he imbibes goodness or
not, he should remain in our religion.
Clown: Ah ha! Dear pandit, you should have been a minister.
Mr. Minister, won't you please get him a minister's seat. He is not fit for
preaching religion. 0 pandit, probably you do not know that I am not a
Brahmin. I believe in Buddhism. My relil,J1on may not be as high as yours. We
are humble people but we believe in goodness and kindness. We believe
truth as truth and telling lies as sin. Ifyou have any life spark in your relil,J1on,
then with the strenl,Jth of your religion, you make the king believe in your
relil,rion otherwise you bow to the person who has won the king's mind despite
the king being intellectual and wise.
Pandit: That man was a devil, a wicked person with an evil mind. He has
spoiled the mind of the innocent king.
Clown: Dear pandit, your relil,J1on is hollow. I don't mean that you do not
