GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
Guru: See, the recitation of the Name of the most sacred Lord turns our
mind towards His sacred presence and sacred goodness and by this sacred
feeling the mind becomes crystal. By this sacred touch the mind becomes
crystal. When we keep on reciting the most sacred Name and keep on thinking
His sacred presence and His sacred praises, then these influences settle in our
sub-conscious mind and our outer mind and intuitive mind become clean and
pure.
The same Name becomes Name nectar and one starts enjoying the ecstasy

yoga a lot, then the words of the Guru went deep into his mind and he got
engrossed in the love of the Lord.
But his followers, although, they were not arrogant now and had started
respecting the Guru, still had their minds trapped in artificialities and with

So, Bhartari understood what they meant and then he prayed to the
Guru: In your path that you have told, are there any symbols and emblems
like signet, seal, trumpet, wand, etc?
