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.
