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

Then they had discussions with the Guru. The Indians discussed in Punjabi
and Hindi. The others discussed in Arabic. But these are not available.

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
