146 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II Pandit: I am crying for this unfortunate country. There will be no relihTion left. The temples ofShiva will be demolished. The idol worship will be banned. The people will become non-worshippers. King: It is futile to be gloomy. The country is without 'Love of the Lord' since the time of King Ashoka when everybody embraced Buddhism. This small country is still in Hindu religion. Be assured that I am not a fanatic. I am not prejudiced against any religion. I have no hatred for anybody. My subjects are free to choose their own religion as per their wish. This freedom of relihTion will remain. I will not force any religion on anyone. o Pandit, why are you nurturing such erroneous thoughts in your mind? I am not going to interfere in anybody's religious practice. It is not right what you are thinking. I am being attracted to a Supreme power. You consider relihJion as reading or listening to the scripture. I have realized that to be relihJious is to love the Lord. Love of the Lord has strength, power, ecstasy and rapture. Pandit: Then are the scriptures untrue? King: 0 Pandit, I haven't said that. I have not gone towards discussions, debates, envy, hatred, fights, enmity, ego or pride. I am being attracted by a handsome loving soul. You have mercy on me. My religion now is love ofthe Lord. I am getting a love sensation from the beloved thatkeeps me intranqUility and ecstasy. I have love for everybody. Pandit: Then are the scriptures untrue? King: I haven't said that. Why are you repeating the same thing that I have not said even a word? I can only say that I have got a treasure. The soul flourishes with that treasure. It can flOUrish to any extent. I shall do whatever is required so that my soul flourishes indescribably. Rest, everybody, is free to pursue his faith. 'Love of the Lord' is the highest faith. Pandit: Then you will discard the Shiva-idol worship and scripture. King; You seem to have panicked. You will be respected. The people will keep their religion. What will I do? That will be decided when Guru Nanak comes here. But be assured that it will be all love for everybody. Even if people speak against me I shall still love everybody. My faith is love. 1£1 open my heart, blood will come out and you won't be able to see the heart, otherwise ifI could show you my heart you would be delighted. IV Seeing the extreme love of the king, the pandit calmed down. It was late evening and the stars and moon had come up. The king had got tired of talking and the queen had got fed up with the childish talk of the pandit. Page 156 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II 147 Meanwhile, a servant came running and said: Your Majesty, one sadhu has come in the old garden and says he is Nanak Shah. The moment the king heard the name he walked fast. He forgot the horse or the palanquin or protocol. He is walking fast. The queen followed but she was not able to keep a man's pace. The orderlies however requested her to sit in the palanquin. The pandit walked slowly up to his palanquin and went home. In the garden was sitting a stout sadhu in saffron colored clothes. The king reached the garden and fell prostate on his feet. He was overwhelmed and his eyes were shedding tears of love. His forehead touched the sadhu's feet. The sadhu blessed him with his hand and asked his welfare. The king replied with respect and sat down. By now the queen arrived and other courtiers also reached. The king then made a request: Please come to the palace. Sadhu: I am a recluse. I do not live in houses. When the king heard this, then he pondered: Nanak, my Nanak, my Guru Nanak, my true Guru Nanak, I was told is a family man. This sadhu is a recluse. Seeing my extreme love, am I not being deceived by somebody? In this thinking, he bowed to the sadhu. He ordered his men to make the sadhu stay in the garden. His body is aching, his mind is irritated, his eyes have become dry and he feels some dirt has gone into the eyes. He sat in the palanquin and reached his palace. It was night. He felt uneasy. He tossed and turned. Queen Chandrakala said: My beloved, many times I have told you not to go into discussion with the pandit. What does he lose? He has a passion to debate. You have to do official work in the day. At night you spend time in recitrtion of Name. Your heart is kind and soft. Your mind becomes dirty by discussing with the hard- hearted pandit. You better not talk to him. I got fed up in listening. You were not tired in talking. It has no effect on him. Even when he has no reply he doesn't leave his stubborn attitude. The flaw in mere learning is that it does not imbibe good qualities in man. It makes a man stubborn. Then you just walked fast in a hurry. The queen's harsh but loving words were soothing to the king. Queen Chandrakala: Excuse me but I must say that this saint is surely not Mansukh's Guru Nanak. He has no such fraI,JTance that Mansukh had in him. Whatever ecstasy I felt by seeing your love for Guru Nanak, I gotthe opposite feeling by seeing this sadhu. Ifyou permitI shall find out in no time about this sadhu's credentials. But I am absolutely certain that this sadhu can never be Nanak. He can never be Mansukh's Guru Nanak whom you love.
