GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II 141
Pandit: Your reply is all right. But neither you have practised Hath yoga
nor breath control. Neither, you have practised Raj Yoganor you have practised
chanting of Name. How can I accept that you have become a meditative?
King: I am not a meditative but I am not in ihJTlorance. I am not in any
mistaken belief. I am not dejected or sad. I am in ecstasy that is beyond the
intellectual mind. It is some heavenly rapture and it is really there. You said,
"It is not ecstasy, it is an illusion". I have proved to you that there can be a
stage where the mind is elevated and in exuberance and it is above the
intellectual mind.
Pandit: You explain that ecstasy.
King: Where the intellectual mind cannot reach, how can that be described
in words?
Pandit: At least, tell what does the mind feel?
King: The mind is cool and at peace. It is in delightful ecstasy. It has a
pull that gives rapture. The mind is in incessant blossom.
Pandit: Any remembrance.
King: All remembrances have vanished. The 'One Lord' remembrance is
always there and that keeps me in ecstasy. This cannot be described in words.
Pandit: Do you have any intoxication and does that go away sometimes?
King: It is not intoxication. There is a feeling of elevation of mind. The
mind is away from desires. I feel light, cool and some handsomeness of the
sou1. Sometimes the longing and craving to fall at Guru Nanak's feet is so
much that it hrives pangs. Ah hal N anak.
Saying this, the king's eyes closed and tears started flowing. His eyes did
not open for sometime. When he opened his eyes the pandit said: I am
bothering you.
King; No pandit.
Pandit: All right. Your Majesty, you tell one thing. Practically the whole
day or say most of the day you are attending to official work as before. Then
so much times goes in eating food. Then quite much time you spend in getting
ready. How is it that your mind remains in the remembrance of the 'One
Lord' and does all other chores also? The mind is one. It can do one thing at
a time.
King: Do you agree that KingJanak was an enlightened saint and he was
a king also?
Pandit Yes.
King: When he did the official work, was he not a saint at that time? Or
when he gave discourse on relihrion, was he not a king at that time?
