234 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II the shade. The holy man thought: God has sent this cloud for me. I am a Muslim. He appears to be a non-Muslim. Why should the shade come on his head? Maybe, God becomes anhTfY and says I had sent this shade for you. Why are you taking a non-Muslim along in that shade? In this thinking he said: 0 saint, you are a Hindu. Aren't you? You do not go to Mecca. But if you insist on going, then either you walk forward or you move backward. You do not walk with me. Then the Guru said: All right. You move forward. The Guru slowed down and the holy man was soon out ofSight. But the holy man was amazed. The moment the Guru was out ofSight the cloud disappeared and the hot sun came straight on his head. The holy man then repented Oh ho! He was from the Lord. I could not recognize him. V In 'The Twarikh-i-Khalsa' it is mentioned that the Guru reachedJeddah by the sea route. Mardana and Hamza Ghaus accompanied the Guru. Here, he had discussions with Shah Sharaf, a Muslim saint from India. Then the followers of Shah Sharaf tried to stop him from going to Mecca but he did not ahTfee and reached Mecca. On the eve of Haj, Muslims from allover the world assemble at Mecca. Many saints had gone from India as well. Some prominent saints were Makhdum Rukanudin ofUch, saintPatlia ofPatan, saint Bahawaldin ofMultan and saint LalJati. One personJeevan Shah was from India settled at Mecca and many more from India had gone there for pilgrimage. This Jeevan Shah, from India used to do service at the Mecca Mosque. He had taken up the service of cleaning the Mosque area in the early morning. Like, at the Golden Gurdwara people come and do service in cleaning the area. Today, whenJeevan while doing the cleaning service came towards the west side, what he saw was that one person was sleeping and his feet were towards the Mosque. Muslims say their prayers facing the Mosque. They consider it a great disregard to stretch the feet towards the mosque. He got anhTfY and kicked with his foot and said: Who are you who are sleeping with feet towards God? Then the Guru (rubbing his eyes) looked towards Jeevan and said: 0 gentleman, what is the matter? ThenJeevan repeated his sentence. Then the Guru stretched his body and said: 0 holy man, you do not get anhTfY. You move my legs where there is no house of the Lord. Page 244 www.sikhbookclub.com
GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II In a fit of anger he held the Guru's feet and dragged him to make his feet away from facing the mosque. But what he saw was that whichever side he dragged the Guru's feet the mosque also moved that side. He was dazed. On seeing the miracle, he became sure that the Guru has supernatural powers and he kissed the Guru's feet. This was a unique habit in Guru Nanak. He accepted defeat. In his acceptance ofdefeat he won and the other person lost. He accepted: All right. My feet are towards God. You drag them where God is not there. Jeevan realized: God is on all sides. It is my fault that I thought God is towards one side. The Guru has proved that God is on all sides. He has corrected my fault. Now, Makhdum Rukanudin Abul FatehJalal Sani also reached here. He was on the seat of Hazrat Ali Naki. Although he was settled in India but whenever he went to Mecca he was highly respected. When he showed hrreat respect for the Guru, then other saints also carne and bowed to the Guru. On listening about the miracle of the Guru everybody started respecting him. Then they had discussions with the Guru. The Indians discussed in Punjabi and Hindi. The others discussed in Arabic. But these are not available. In the first conversation with the Guru, saint Rukanudin asked: In your Holy Scripture whether Hindu is better or a Muslim is better? The Guru replied: Better are the deeds and love of the Lord. If a Hindu does goodness and remembers the Lord, he is better. If a Muslim does goodness and remembers the Lord, then he is better. Without good deeds and love of the Lord no one will be respected in the Lord's court. Some colours are not fast. They are washed out with water. Similarly, without the good deeds and love of the Lord all rituals of any relihJ10n have no value. The Hindus utter Ram Ram loudly. The Muslims utter Rahim Rahim loudly. If you see, then both are the names of the 'One Lord'. Then why is there any disahrreement and hostility? So, without good deeds and love of the Lord both are not of the Lord. They are in devilish acts and deceiving themselves. On listening to this view that had a lot of weight in it they could not reply. Then they raised another question: Whether keeping fasts, saying prayers and meditation are good things or bad? Guru: Keeping fasts, saying prayers, meditation and other practices are good if one has controlled the five senses of the body, if one has reined the mind and detached it from worldly passions and desires, if one does not look Page 245 www.sikhbookclub.com 235
