I n 66 Bhartari Blessed his third travel, Guru Nanak went northwards to Kashmir and other places and reached Kailash mountains. This is also called Sumer. Here is the sacred lake called Mansarovar. From Shimla up to Mansarovar, there are all high mountains, but habitation is there, even in the higher reaches. One can find signs of Guru Nanak's visits at many places. The Guru was nearing Mansarovar when the Sidhas, who had already reached Mansarovar, heard about his coming. They felt uneasy. They started coming down and began discussions with the Guru. These Sidhas were practising Hath YOhra. They had renounced their families and homes and were living in solitude in the forests or high mountains. Today, they were amazed to see Guru Nanak having come up in these high mountains. They were astonished to see someone who was not from their sect. Then they asked: 0 Gentleman, what power has brought you here? Your name is not counted in Sidhas and besides Sidhas no one has got supernatural powers. Guru Nanak: The source of all power is the All-powerful Lord. I am not after supernatural powers. I have loved the powerful Lord. All powers are His, and I belong to Him. Sidhas: Please be good to tell your name. Guru: My name is Nanak. I have got salvation by remembrance of the Lord's name. Sidhas (expressing scorn): Then he is not a Sidha. He is not an ascetic. He is some family man. Guru: If one is humble, only then he can reach the Lord's palace and meet the Lord. If one thinks highly of one's self then one remains in ego. There is no place for ego in the Lord's palace. On listening to this, the Sidhas felt a bit Page 221 www.sikhbookclub.com
