204 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II After some time, the true Guru lifted his head. Braham Das feels a loving sensation ofthe presence ofthe LQrd settled in his body and feels ecstasy. He feels his body soul immersed in the love of the Lord and is in extreme rapture. Like, the rivers enter the sea but they do not know how big the sea is. They immerse in the sea and are delighted. Similarly, the body soul gets immersed in the Supreme Soul and feels the rapture. It does not go after how big is the Supreme Soul. So, Braham Das' soul has got immersed in the Supreme Soul and he is in ecstasy. IV It is afternoon, but the region is cold. It is pleasant and Kamaal is sitting in his garden near the stream. He was reciting the Lord's name and feeling the sensation when Braham Das arrived. Kamaal: Welcome Brother, my real brother. You have got an awakening. You are fortunate. ConhJTatulations. But Braham Das was tongue-tied. He replied with a few drops of tears from his eyes. Kamaal got up and both, a Hindu and a Muslim, who were apart despite their friendship, embraced each other. The barriers of caste, faith and ego were all gone. Hindu and Muslim became one gold in Guru Nanak's lap. They embraced each other again and again. 0 Brother, my real brother, both of them said. After meeting in this way they sat down. A short while later, Bhai Hassu dropped in. Both of them made him sit with hJTeat respect. Everybody praised Guru Nanak and the Lord. Then they started talking about holy company. Kamaal: Why couldn't I see the Lord? Hassu: He could not be seen with these eyes. He can see everyone but no one can see Him. It is not possible that we may see Him with these eyes. The rivers meet the sea. The sea takes them into its lap. The rivers cannot see how big is the sea. They are happy getting immersed in it. Kamaal: Why I could not get immersed in the Lord? Hassu: You were trying to find the end ofthe Infinite. You were not in his love and incessant remembrance. You closed your eyes and tried to imagine a formless god according to your own imagination. Thatwas yourown mind only. Like, in a dream the mind imahTines and draws pictures on its own. Similarly, you imagined a god like that. So, it was your own mind that was standing in front of you. You had no touch of the Infinite. When you are not in touch of the Lord, then you are separated from Him. The mind is away from the Lord, at a distance from Him. Page 214 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II 205 Braham Das was hanbJing a stone god sculptured by somebody's mind. You were hanbJing your self-imabJined god from your neck.

Immersion means your body soul is in constant touch with the Supreme soul. Whatever sensation you are feeling incessantly is immersion of body soul in Supreme Soul. Kamaal: It has been a grace to me, but is there any path towards this? Bassu: Grace is the path. The Lord's bJTace is everything. Grace is the path. Grace is Name. Name is the path. Name is bJTace. The Lord's Name is the blessing from the Guru. With Name the inner mind blossoms like a lotus and gets dyed in the love ofthe Lord all the time and one gets the incessant sensation ofthe presence of the Lord in the body that gives ecstasy. This ecstasy is not like the pleasure of bodily passions that goes away qUickly. Braham Das: You tell us the state ofmind ofa saint who is in the incessant remembrance of the Lord. Bassu: The mind that is in the incessant remembrance of the Lord is away from worldly desires. The mind is under control and the mind has the sensation of the presence ofthe Lord in the body at all times and is in ecstasy. Like, when a child is in the mother's lap, the touch of the mother's lap keeps the child delighted. Similarly, the mind is in ecstasy with the touch of the divine lap. The mind does not wander in anxiety, fear, worry and other worldly entanglements. The sensation of the presence of the Lord keeps it tranquil. One is in rapture. Braham Das: The Guru's bJTace has awakened my sleeping soul. I feel the sensation that the Guru has given me, that is what you have also said. This must be the incessant remembrance or it will become. This is the inner feeling. What will be the outer feeling and vision? Bassu: Those who have got the Guru's blessings are in wondrousness. They sing the praises of the Lord in wondrousness. Braham Das: Please elaborate this. Bassu: A person immersed in the Lord's love does not see things as they are. Be sees the Lord in everything. Like, a thirsty person, if he sees an orange, then he sees the thirst quenching and delicious orange juice in it. But a child who has not tasted an orange sees its nice color and roundness. He considers it a ball to play. He is not able to feel the delicious orange juice in it. Page 215 www.sikhbookclub.com
