GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II 193
is just a recluse who has renounced the house. Not only ordinary people even
intellectuals accept him as a prophet. Saints bow to him. Even Shiv Nath who
had a following in hundreds has stopped Shiva idol-worship and become his
disciple. Even good Mohammedan saints are bowing to him. Itis not possible
that a Muslim saint would bow to a Hindu saint unless they find real greatness
in him. Maybe, I am at fault. While pondering like this, one night he saw in a
dream that Guru Nanak is an image of the Lord. Millions of lights are in
illumination for him. All the big saints of the seen and unseen world are in
adoration for him and swaying lamps in adoration for him. On waking up
again it came to his mind that Ajita is a very wise person. He had met many
saints but he did not bow to anyone. Here he has fallen at his feet and loves to
do that. In this thinking he went and talked to J\jita for advice. Slowly, the ego
of his mind came down by itself. What itself, when the Guru, the shower of
h'Taciousness is sitting in this town and blessing the world, he knows the time
when he has to bless his relatives also. It is his natural repute.
Now, it came to Moola Shah's mind that one has to die one day. Nobody
stays forever. I am clinging to something that I have to leave behind. I am so
much attached to money that I considered my own daughter and children as
strangers. I thought money being spent on them is being wasted. In fact it was
being spent fruitfully.
In fact his mind got the first shock when the daughter and children left his
house. Till the Guru was quiet, he was anh'TY and stubborn. When the daughter
and h'Tandsons quitted, then his ego came down. When the ego came down,
then slowly good sense prevailed on him.
Now he realized the h'Teatness of the Guru. His mind said: Who is such
that he would leave the comforts ofthe house, high government service, sons,
wife, saintly sister, mother, father and relatives and undertake difficult travels
tolerating the heat, cold and other hazards to allay the suffering of the world
and put people on the path of love of the Lord. Guru Nanak is certainly a
prophet and a saviour.
In these thoughts and seeing the impressive and radiance emitting face of
the Guru, one day, Moola Shah bowed to the Guru and prayed: O,Guru,
you are h'Teat, you are an image of the Lord. You have come to bless the
world. Me stupid did not realize your h'Teatness. Not for one day but for years
I have been speaking ill of you. You, who are worthy of immense praise, I
criticized you. I am at your feet. I deserve extreme punishment but you are
benevolent. It is your natural repute that you forgive those who repent and
you bless them. You bless me also. Seeing Moola Shah in such humility the
