214 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
Guru: A householder, the one who loves the Lord and lives in devotion
and remembrance of the Lord, his soul is awakened.
Mahadev: He gets enlightenment but how is he detached from the worldly
desires. You give some example,
Guru: Like, the lotus grows in muddy water but is not affected by the
muddy water. The duck swims in water but is not affected by the water. Its
body remains dry.
Mahadev going into deep thought, said: You tell the meanings of
renunciation.
Guru: 'In renunciation' is one who is immersed in the love of the Lord
and desires nothing else and has killed his ego. Whether he lives in the family
or leaves the family is of no consequence. He can be 'in renunciation' even

Renunciation is detaching the mind from worldly desires and notnecessarily
renouncing the family, house or city.

Guru: There is no difference between a householder and a person 'in

Mahadev: You have not understood what I meant. Can a person be a
householder and 'in renunciation' at the same time.
Guru: The detachment from worldly desires has to be of the mind, and it
is not necessary that the body should also renounce the family and house. A
householder will be considered as 'in renunciation' living in the family when
he has detached his mind from worldly desires.
Machchinder Nath (in an angry tone with face red in anger): Then are
the scriptures untrue and those who have renounced all wrong?
Guru Nanak: Untrue is one's own mind or one's own behaviour. The aim
has to be to control the five senses.
Gorakh Nath spoke: That means, you don't believe in renunciation.
Guru: Renunciation is detaching the mind from worldly desires.
In Guru Nanak Prakash is written: In this way, there were many discussions.
When all the Sidhas lost in the discussions in every way absolutely, then
Mangal Nath and Bhartari gave some good suggestions to Gorakh.
At this time Bhartari Y0!,J1 was on a visit to the Sidhas hennitage. His mind
was already enlightened by the Guru's discourse. He had already experienced
the ecstasy in the Lord's Name, and was in the recitation of Name but he was
