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 some good Muslim saint has influenced someone, then he might have imbibed some goodness. Pandit: I do not mean that the king should really imbibe goodness in himself. What I mean is that he should remain in our relil,J1on. Whether he imbibes goodness or not is immaterial to us. One thing is that the king is a pandit. Secondly, I have made him study the Hindu scriptures with great effort. Thirdly, if he changes his religion, then 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 Page 144 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II possess the knowledge. What I mean is that you do not have strenhJi:h in your utterances. You see. A person has changed the faith of the king. You cannot undo what he has done. That means your inner mind is weak and it is showing as anger. Without any reason, you are talking ill of him. I am sure you cannot change the king's faith by diplomacy or by religious superiority. Pandit: You do not know my religious superiority. Tomorrow, I am going to send messages to the Chief Pandits of Puri, Kanshi and Nadia. They will send an order that either the king should stick to Hindu religion or he will be excommunicated. Clown: This gut, the Mohammedans do have but not you. Even if you have, it means you preach religion by threatening. To be religious is to be without fear. You h>1ve fear to become relihrious. Fear is a negative characteristic. Dear Pandit, to excommunicate a non-relihrious person may be justified, but you who are in empty rituals, do not know that the king is in 'love of the Lord'. The person who blessed him with this 'love ofthe Lord' was somebody who was himself immersed in the 'love of the Lord'. He was a blessed soul who gave the king a spark of that love. Now, the king is engrossed in love of Nanak. What you are thinking and the people have always been doing is to h>1ve suffering to a person who is in love but the lovelorn have never hriven up. People went to the extent of burning them alive, h>1ving them poison to drink, hanged them and gave other sufferings but the spark oflove did not extinguish. And here it is true love, it is love of the Lord, it is a spiritual love, it is a sacred love. It is love of the prophet. I say prophet because when a disciple has so much spiritual strenhJi:h in him that he came to the court as a culprit and was able to impress the king in his faith, then his Guru must be a prophet. I am not sure but I feel he is the same Nanak about whom is mentioned in the old scriptures that he will come to the earth in the Un-enlightened Era (Kalyug). Pandit: I think you have also started sailing in the same boat as the king is. Clown: No dear pandit, I am a Buddhist. In our relih>1on truth and goodness is everything. So, I cannot leave truthfulness and I cannot consider hypocrisy as a means for prompting relih>1on. Even if the king embraces Islam, I will never try to change his faith by threatening or hypocrisy. Pandit: 0 truthful man. Are you the heir of Harish Chandra? Then you only tell any means. Clown: You make him understand in a proper way. You remove his doubts. But I feel you won't succeed even like this. If somebody changes his Page 145 www.sikhbookclub.com 135
