200 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II blessings' doesn't let him go. He would leave his house, come halfway, but he could not overcome his pride. But again, he saw Kamaal's sadness of the previous day and his fear of the coming death. Then he would think about his own coming death and in despair start moving ahead abrain, but his unseen pride would again tie his feet and make him sit down. Three days passed like this. On the fourth day, his mind again said: My heart is throbbing. The more I stop it the more it throbs. Then he got up and starting walking towards where the godly saint was staying. He walked and sang: "Get up Farid, roam the world Maybe you come across a blessed soul You will also be blessed, " says Farid. He is walking. He has a stone god hanbring from his neck. Behind, are two camels loaded with scriptures. In his mind is an ego equivalent to the height of a camel. Hesitatingly he reached. He was astonished to see the dress: Saffron dot on the forehead and a leather jacket on the body. Then he said: You are a sadhu. Why are you wearing leather and why have you tied ropes? Then you have put a saffron dot on your forehead. What is your sect? When the Guru heard these words, then his eyes closed and he sang a divine verse: The Lord is one. His door is one Only a ritual is the god in stone The true path is Name The Guru gives the Name The true Guru sang these lines in such a melodious tune that immediately Braham Das' eyes closed. When he opened his eyes he saw that the Guru was not there. Bhai Hassu was sitting. Braham Das looked towards him and said: o companion ofthe Guru, I know Sanskrit and Persian. I have listened to the sweet verse but I have not understood its meaning. Can you tell me the meaning? Hassu: 0 Brother, it is very simple. You could not see the Lord with your eyes. So, you made a sculpture of a god in stone and hung it from your neck so that the eyes remain satiated that they are seeing the god. But the Lord is not an object that can be seen with these eyes. That handsome Lord is one. His palace is one. His door is one. Page 210 www.sikhbookclub.com
GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II The way to reach Him is one. The true Guru is the guide to show the way andyou reach Him through His name. His presence is felt inside the body and not by the thoughts of the mind. By His hrrace and with remembrance of His name one can perceive the unseen. The pandit was sitting and trying to understand all this, but then he again saw the Guru sitting. He bowed his head and said: 0 godly saint, when the world was not created, then where was the Lord? Guru: The Lordis Infinite. Nobody can find the end. Nanak is immersed in His love and in wondrousness, is sinhTing His praises. Braham Das listened attentively and when the sinhTing stopped he fell at the Guru's feet. He threw away the stone from his neck. The Guru said: Recite the Lord's name and do service. Braham Das started doing service there, but in his mind he thought: Even earlier I was doing service, even now I am doing service, but some attraction is not letting me go. Actually, Braham Das was an intellectual pandii. First, he practiced Vedanta, then he started idol worship. Then he met a saint from Nepal. He put him on service to humanity. He saw that 90d is in humanity. So, service to humanity is service to God. So, Braham Das was reading the scriptures, doing idol worship and was also doing service to the people. Now, again the Guru told him to do service. So, one day he said: I had not realized the Lord earlier and even now it is the same, what should I do? Then the Guru said: Go and fix a spiritual h'1lide. Then the pandit said: From where shall I get a spiritual h'1lide? The Guru said: Go to the forest. In the hut there, four sadhus are sitting. They will tell you. Braham Das bowed and went to the forest. He met the four sadhus sitting there. He said to them: Who is my spiritual hTUide? They were quiet for a few minutes. Then they said: You go ahead. Your spiritual hTUide is in the temple there. Then the pandit went ahead. He saw one temple at a little distance. When he reached there he saw one beautiful woman clad in a red dress. When he bowed his head to her, then she gave him a blow with her sandal. He felt miserable and returned to the sadhus and said: 0 sadhus, she was not a spiritual hTUide. She was some wicked lady.
