6 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II
After a long spell, the woman was startled. Her eyes blinked. She heaved
a sigh. A few tears ofjoy fell from her eyes. Her body shook and she became
conscious. She was so much absorbed in the ecstasy that she could not move
much but she was fully conscious. After a little while she felt strong enough to
get up and offer milk to the persons who were more loving than a brother and
father.
She got up, hesitated a little and moved forward. She put the pot of milk
in front of the persons.
Meanwhile, the singer opened his eyes and said: 'Daughter'.
She could not know from where the voice 'daughter' had come. She felt
that a divine music has gone into her heart and body.
Again the voice said: '0 Child'.
She felt an attraction.
Again the voice said: '0 Daughter'.
Now she felt afraid that she was not replying.
In a soft tone she replied: 'Yes, please'.
Singer: What have you brought?
Woman: Please, this is milk and sugar. Please be kind and have milk. You
are hunh'l"Y for three days.
Singer: You drink it. You are hungry for a son and riches.
The words went into her heart. Her husband always wanted a son and
riches.
She realized, it was true that she and her husband were hunh'l"Y for a son
and riches but hesitated to say anything further and kept quiet.
After a few moments, she again said: 'Please, you are always satisfied'.
Singer: You have milk.
Woman: Please make me drink the nectar that I felt just now. This rapture
should not leave me. Your musician (pointing towards Mardana) said, "We
live on divine music". He must be referring to this rapture. You must be
drinking this nectar. This nectar is marvellous. How does one drink this nectar?
I am a village woman, like an animal. I have no education but your singing is
rapturous.
Singer: My child, have milk.
Woman: I don't know. You haven't had anything to eat for three days.
Please have a little. And to me, give me the divine nectar. I should not remain
without it. I may be hungry or satisfied but this rapture should always remain
with me. Please do touch the milk to your lips. He (pointing towards Mardana)
said that you are of this world and you eat and drink as everybody else. That
is why I brought the milk.
