GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II
love do not recoh1Jlize the Lord-sent prophets. The world is getting salvation
and you are lamenting. He is a godly soul. He is from the Lord. He is the
prophetofthe prophets. Don'twaste your energies. Who knows what happens
tomorrow? Recoh1Jlize him. Love him. Fall at his feet. Get salvation from him,
otherwise you may sit at home. Your arguing has no effect on him or on us as
we have recoh1Jlized him as a prophet.
On listening to Ajita's advice, Moola Shah said: 0 brother, I feel insulted
amongst my relatives and friends. The expenses on the daughter and children
are a burden on me.
Ajita said: Well, if you do not want to send her to her in-laws' house, then
I shall support them so far as money is concerned. She is my sister and I am
your brother. You don't be the least afraid of expenses.
Moola Shah: 0 brother, it doesn't go well like this. The relatives and
friends will criticize. We will have to listen to their criticism.
Now, Chanda Rani (the Guru's mother-in-law) shouted in anger.
Ajita tried to make her understand but she did not stop speaking harsh
words.
They had hardly become quiet when Bibi Sulakhni started speaking.
Then Ajita said: Your parents have said enough. It is not proper for you
to speak.
Then Bibi Sulakhni said: 0 brother, you look at my suffering. What
should I do? I with my two children am a burden on them. If they bear the
burden with pleasure then I can stay with them and live. It will be their
benevolence. But they are fed up now. All the time they are taunting and
ridiculing and openly express anguish that the daughter is staying here. They
say, 'to keep a married daughter in the house is genocide'. They say, 'you
also go and become an ascetic, take your sons, roam and beg, we cannot
spend on you'. 0 brother, you tell, where should I go and what should I do?
Oh! My good sister-in-law (May she live in the heavens), so long as she was
living I did not mind his travels, when she passed away, then I came to my
parents' house. My parents now consider me a burden. If I had gone to my
in-laws house I would have been better off. There was enough money there.
Now, that time is gone. My sons are grown up now. They do not like the
taunting of the grandparents. From where should I get support so that I undo
the burden of my parents?
When Bibi Sulakhni uttered such words in so much humility and with
tears in her eyes that would melt a heart, then the Guru said: If you can do
away with the desire of living in a comfortable house, if your mind can remain
happy in service to the holy congregation, if you can tolerate hardship and
