DIVINE MUSIC Sitting silent in the mountain, ears heardmusic From heavens to the heart, I thought it was mystic A voice from heavens said: Music you heardis earthly, not sung by the Lord That's not mystic, mistake not of the Lord Lord's Temple is this body. Himself He has created This hut for Beloved to live in, Himself He has created Mystic is His music. Lord lives in this temple Music that you heard, 0 dear, was of the cosmic temple That was charming earthly music not sung by the Lord That was not mystic, mistake not of the Lord Love, sweet, ecstasy, rapture without form appear Air, sky and ears, are not required to hear The Soul could understand, its heard by the soul It comes from the Soul perceived by the soul Rise from earth 0 dear immerse in love of Lord Sit on swing of love or fall at feet of Lord, Mystic then you'll hear sung by the Lord.

I t 63 Makhdum is the ocean Le. the sea, the sandy beach. See the nice and clean sand. It seems somebody has washed, cleaned and spread a flooring of sand. At one place a carpet is laid, on which is sitting a Muslim saint oflate middle age. He has some worldly happiness on his forehead and his eyes show some concentration ofmind. He is playing in the sand. He is not playing games that the children play or the young play for bodily exercise. But they are games that show worldly desires in him. They are called supernatural powers. He is driving the carpet on the sand. He is sailing on the carpet in the sea. When he does all this, then he feels happy. He is spending his time in trying to increase his concentration of mind to attain more supernatural powers that he could use for worldly gains. Suddenly, one day Guru Nanak came to this sea beach. The saint was impressed to see him. He looked towards him and with respect said: Welcome to you, 0 saint. The Guru shook hands with him with love. Then the saint kissed the Guru's hand, made him sit on the carpet and said: You are a saint. Saints are fond of outing. Come. Let us go for an outing on the sea. Then the Guru said: 0 Makhdum, there is no boat visible. How shall we go on the sea? Makhdum: This carpet will sail on the sea. Guru: When you go for Sailing on the carpet have you ever seen something in the sea? Makhdum: Yes, once I saw a minaret. Guru: Then you go and visit the minaret. I am sitting here. When you will come back, then we shall talk. Makhdum: All right. Well and good. I will go. Page 189 www.sikhbookclub.com

DIVINE MUSIC<br />

Sitting silent in the mountain, ears heardmusic<br />

From heavens to the heart, I thought it was mystic<br />

A voice from heavens said:<br />

Music you heardis earthly, not sung by the Lord<br />

That's not mystic, mistake not of the Lord<br />

Lord's Temple is this body. Himself He has created<br />

This hut for Beloved to live in, Himself He has created<br />

Mystic is His music. Lord lives in this temple<br />

Music that you heard, 0 dear, was of the cosmic temple<br />

That was charming earthly music not sung by the Lord<br />

That was not mystic, mistake not of the Lord<br />

Love, sweet, ecstasy, rapture without form appear<br />

Air, sky and ears, are not required to hear<br />

The Soul could understand, its heard by the soul<br />

It <strong>com</strong>es from the Soul perceived by the soul<br />

Rise from earth 0 dear immerse in love of Lord<br />

Sit on swing of love or fall at feet of Lord,<br />

Mystic then you'll hear sung by the Lord.<br />
