GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
should I say? What he has said about music is impressive. He doesn't speak
any words that might hurt. Then he speaks qUintessence.Let me ask him
something more. Let us listen to the other astonishing things that he tells. He
has said, millions of heavens and hells. Let me ask him how he has knowledge
about that? Whether he tells the truth or hearsay. Then the saint said: You
have said that heavens and hell are in millions. How is that? Our scripture
says a total of 14 spheres, seven heavens and seven hells. How do you say
they are in millions? Have you read somewhere or seen or have you just
hTUessed?
The Guru was sitting dyed in the love of the Lord as before. Sometimes
his eyes opened, sometimes closed and sometimes the eyelids were falling
with the weight of ecstasy. He heard the question but he did not reply. But
after a while in a slightly love-immersed voice he said: Those who saw fourteen
would say fourteen, those who saw millions would utter millions. It is one's
look. Why have a dispute about it?
Saint: Why can't we see?
Guru: Some people estimate fourteen spheres but the creation is far and
far. There are millions of regions and millions ofstars, the sun and the moon.
They are spread in millions of sq: kilometers. 0 saint, the creation is too big
and far and further. The distance that we see, we call the upper side as the
heaven and the lower side as hell. It is far and further. Who can count? The
Lord only knows how big is His creation. Ourmind can hrain enough knowledge
but we cannot know the vastness. For us we might say that the universe is
infinite because we cannot know its vastness. But don't think that this universe
is infinite. For the Lord who is the creator this universe is finite. It has an end.
Only He himself is infinite, indescribable and limitless.
Saint: How is it? Is it really so?
Guru: For us it is so big that we might call it limitless and endless but it is
a creation of the Lord. For him it has an end. If you say that the universe is
infinite, then there will be two infinites. When you say two infinites that is
equivalent to saying two finites. 0 saint, Lord is infinite. Only He is limitless
and indescribable.
Saint: I understand now. Then how have you estimated as millions?
Guru: It is the job of the astronomers to count the stars, planets or the
skies and not ofsaints. To count the stars at night and study the movement of
planets is part of their education. Our job is to love the creator. The shining
stars and the moon take the saint into wondrousness. Even for an ordinary
man to see millions oftwinkling stars with the deep inner selfgives delight and
ecstasy. The astrologer counts the stars but a saint sometimes closes his eyes
