14 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II about it they prompt the kings to go after them. This is history. To face a man of God, the pandit leadership has always persuaded the king to come forward. Now, also, the sadhus, pandits and mullahs got together and went in a deputation to the head of the district, named Kroria Chand. The first thing they told him was that the Guru has forcibly occupied your land, sheds have come up and kitchens have come up. People throng to meet him. In a short time, he will claim to be the owner of the land. How will you ask him to vacate the land? A newly planted tree can be cut in a day but when it spreads its branches it becomes difficult to cut. Second thing they told him was that he says there is no Hindu and no Mohammedan. The Mohammedans who go to meet him have stopped Namaz and fasting. The Hindus, who go to meet him, have stopped worship of idols, have stopped keeping fasts, and have stopped wearing the red thread. They have started praising the Guru and have started reciting '0 Lord'. His companion says that he is Guru Nanak and he is the holiest ofall the prophets born earlier. He is the prophet of the prophets. The young generation all go to meet him. The women are more eager to meet him. All the people are going astray. Since ages, it is Hindu or Mohammedan. But the Guru has a new system. He says that there is no Hindu and no Mohammedan. You are the head of the district here. God has t,riven you all the powers. You are the only person who can keep our prestige otherwise the world will go astray. There will be no relit,rion, no rituals, no idol worship, no fasting no Namaz. At present this fountain is oozing only. If you stop it right now, that will be the proper thing to do. After listening to more of such stories, Kroria Chand, head of the district, started thinking. He decided to pick up Guru Nanak and put him behind bars and scatter the people in the cont,'Tegation with force so that they run away. He collected a few people and himself rode on a horse. He had gone a little distance only when the horse shuddered and he fell down. He got injUries and a fractured leg. After a few days when he recovered, again he collected a few people and himself rode on the horse towards the bank ofthe river where the Guru was staying. He had gone a little distance only when he felt darkness in his eyes. He could not see anything. He got down from the horse and started walking back home. He was then able to see, but when again he turned and went towards the Guru, his eyes saw darkness only. To make sure that it was not an illusion, he tried several times. When he walked towards his house, he could see, but when he walked towards the Guru, he saw darkness only. Page 24 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II 15 At this time Dada and Dodo Rani were coming from their fields. On seeing the head ofthe district in a quandary, they stopped and came near and realized that a miracle was happening and he is becoming blind. On seeing this Dodo Rani could not stop herself from saying: Don't put your chest against the fury of a river. Kroria: Who has spoken this? Dodo Rani: It is a heavenly speech spoken by a blessed disciple. Kroria: Who is Nanak? Dodo Rani: The Lord from the heaven Himself. Kroria: How can I believe? Dodo Rani: You fell down, you did not believe, you became blind, you did not believe. Now, will you go to hell and then only will you believe? There is still time to repent. Kroria got scared and said: Then what should I do? Dada: You are an educated administrator. You have an intelligent mind. Why have you believed these pandits who thrive on rituals and alms? Free your mind from enmity and say, "Guru Nanak is a true prophet, Lord-sent, let me go and pay my respects to him in reverence". Then move forward. Ifyour eyes become all right, then be sure it is true. If your vision is not restored, then you may say it is all a fallacy. Or you go back to your house your vision will be restored. Kroria was not used to such harsh words but now he was in deep anhJUish. Eyes are a great boon. One realizes this only when one loses one's sight. The person who loses his sight, only he can feel the distress he is in. At that time if there is a ray of hope ofgetting the eyesight back, the comfort that this feeling hJ1ves, only that person can understand. So, he did not mind the harsh words. The harsh words awakened his intellectual mind that was sleeping. He immediately said: a Guru Nanak, you are great. All the men who were with him bowed their heads in the direction where the Guru was staying. Their minds were now in respect for the Guru. Kroria could now see a little. He was happy and he rode on the horse to meet the Guru with reverence. He had gone a little distance only, when he again fell down from the horse. Dada, who was walking along at a little distance said: Be respectful. Whom are you going to meet? He is not an ordinary sadhu or faqir. Get down from the horse. Have humility and go on foot, as if going to a king. You are going to meet a true king. You have to be more respectful. Page 25 www.sikhbookclub.com
