148 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
King: Chandrakala, it seems so. My mind had become dirty by the debate
with the Pandit, otherwise I would have judged the love sensation properly.
By going near this sadhu I have become restless. I feel un-easy. You try to
investigate whether he is a sadhu or a deceiver.
The queen gave orders to her maid to serve meat and wine to the sadhu
and send damsels and dancers to entertain him in the garden.
The king could not sleep at night but early morning he dozed off but for
half an hour only. The moment he dozed off to sleep he saw Mansukh's
lustrous face. On seeing the sacred luster on Mansukh's face, the king's
restlessness vanished. He felt the same ecstasy, the same sensation of the
Lord's Name, the same exuberance and elevation of mind. He was in rapture
again. Now, the maid came and said that the sadhu was a hypocrite and not a
relihrious man.
On listening to this the king said to Chandrakala: This has created a
problem. People have started thinking that our pure love is madness and are
trying to be too clever. We have to stop this.
Queen Chandrakala: Why?
King: When the benevolent Guru would come, we would have fallen at
his feet with extreme love. There would have been no doubt in our mind. It
would have been all delight to meet. Now a doubt has entered our mind. First
we will put him to test. Then only we shall bow down to him.
Then what will be in our mind?You justgive a serious thought. When the
beloved will come, we will have a doubt whether he is really the beloved or
not. To allay our own fear and worry we will put the beloved to test. The
shortcoming will be in us but we will put to test the most respected godly soul.
When he comes up to the mark, then only, we will believe. So you consider,
Firstly, it will be a great disrespect to the beloved. Secondly, the delight that
we would have got by innocently falling at his feet, we won't get that. Then 0
dear, it is a matter of love. Whether our beloved minds it or not, I cannot say.
Queen Chandrakala: Your first thought is correct. I am horrified. Some
evil-minded person has sinned. But for the second thought, I do not agree
because he is a god of love. His coming will be grace. Out of benevolence he
will come. He will pardon our shortcomings.
Meanwhile, a servant came and said: Mr.Joker has come and is requesting
for a few minutes time to talk to you.
The king listened quietly.
Then Chandrakala said: 0 beloved, although Mr. Joker is a clown, he is
sincere. Why not meet him?
The king smiled and said: All right, let him come.
