12 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II<br />

But, now she is not much interested in the gossip sessions of her friends.<br />

The initial treatment that she got from the gossip-loving and interfering ladies<br />

became a blessing in disguise to her.<br />

Her husband, instead of be<strong>com</strong>ing her enemy, started loving her more.<br />

He was convinced that the <strong>Guru</strong> had really <strong>com</strong>e from the heavens and his<br />

word had the Lord's strength in it.<br />

The <strong>Guru</strong>'s blessings bore fruit. Within a few days, his uncle became a<br />

sadhu and left for some religious shrine to meditate. He left all his property,<br />

land and cattle to Dada. The riches, Dada got in no time. He was now fully<br />

convinced that the <strong>Guru</strong> is not an ordinary sadhu. He is one with the Lord<br />

and the Lord has sent him to this world.<br />

The gossiping village women also noted three things. Dodo Rani's utmost<br />

happiness and tranquillity, Dada's love for his wife more than before and<br />

suddenly be<strong>com</strong>ing rich. Their evil attitude now changed and now they started<br />

asking questions. The ladies asked Dodo Rani and the men asked Dada. Both<br />

of them did not want to hide anything.<br />

The sun does not require hiding and the moon does not require curtains.<br />

Both of them narrated their story.<br />

Soon, the praise of the <strong>Guru</strong> spread in the entire village. Someone said<br />

something and someone else said something else, but one thing that everybody<br />

came to know was that on the bank ofthe river somebody has <strong>com</strong>e who has<br />

been sent by the Lord of the heavens. The <strong>Guru</strong> and his <strong>com</strong>panion do not<br />

enter the village. They do not beg. They are always singing or meditating with<br />

closed eyes.<br />

Dada has been offering milk to them. They were pleased and they have<br />

blessed the couple.<br />

More and more people started <strong>com</strong>ing and meeting the <strong>Guru</strong>, some for<br />

recovery from sickness, some for some special favour, some brought food<br />

and a few only wanted to meet the <strong>Guru</strong>.<br />

Whosoever came and met the <strong>Guru</strong> revered and loved him.<br />

The news spread to other villages nearby and soon it became known all<br />

over that <strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong> has <strong>com</strong>e here. Some said: A saint has got realization<br />

on the bank of the river Ravi. Some said: The <strong>Guru</strong> has <strong>com</strong>e from the<br />

heavens.<br />

Some said: A prophet is born in this dark age era (Kalyug).<br />

People thronged to meet the <strong>Guru</strong>.<br />

One day when the <strong>Guru</strong> came back after a long stroll, Dada and Dodo<br />

Rani were busy putting up a shed where the <strong>Guru</strong> was staying.<br />

The <strong>Guru</strong> smiled and said: Dada, what is all this?<br />
