16 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II Now, Kroria walked on foot. He called Dada, touched his feet and said: The Hindu and Mohammedan priests have misguided me. You seem to be a perfect gentleman. He looked towards Dodo Rani and said: 0, she is the one who said, 'Don't put your chest against the fury of a river'. He greeted her with folded hands. All three now started talking. Dada and Dodo Rani told their entire story. They narrated all goodness of the Guru and his immersion in the Lord's love. They narrated how the Guru was living without food for days together. How the Guru stood in the river for hours together. How the Guru had been travelling long distances to propagate true love of the Lord. In this way, they reached near the place, where Guru Nanak was staying. At this moment Kroria felt a lightning in his eyes and a thunder in his head. Like the scales of a fish crumbling, like the skin of a ripened seed opening with a throb, Kroria felt something has fallen from his eyes. His eyes opened up. His vision was fully restored. He could see the earth and the sky, the sun and the moon, Dada and Dodo Rani very clearly. He realized now that eyes are a hTfeat boon. One only knows when one gets back something gone. First he fell on Dodo Rani's feet, and then he addressed Dada and said: You are real and true saints. You take me to the Guru. I want to touch his feet. All three now went ahead and reached their destination. The Lord of the heavens was sitting on the beautiful hTfeen hTfass. Mardana was playing the music and singing a divine song. Kroria went ahead and fell at the Guru's feet. He held the Guru's feet like a bee sitting and sticking to a flower. His head swooned. He felt something slipping and going out of his body. There was a divine sensation. His body became light. There was peace and bliss. Another sensation carne. He felt some divine music entering the body. He had profuse joy and a feeling of sweetness as if drinking nectar, and without anybody's telling or speaking: His ears heard '0 Lord'. In his heart he heard '0 Lord'. In his head he heard '0 Lord'. His tongue recited in rapture '0 Lord'. His entire body recited '0 Lord'. He lifted his head and looked around. The entire surrounding, the trees, the flowers, the grass, the plants were singing '0 Lord'. Again he fell at the Guru's feet. Again, he had more of rapture and he did not like to lift his head. The Guru touched his head with love and made him lift his head and said: Kroria, you are blessed. Page 26 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II Kroria said: It is all your benevolence. Kroria 0 bserved the Guru now and said to himself: Guru Nanak, whom I wanted to put behind bars, is all love and sweetness and is all graciousness. Shame on me, I should be thankful to the Guru for his foq,riveness and hrrace. 0, Guru Nanak, you are hrreat. Somebody had said to me: Don't put your chest against the fury of a river. Who uttered these heavenly words? He looked that side and said: 0 Great Guru Nanak, they are all your holy saints blessed by you. Kroria became a Guru-disciple. Guru Nanak blessed him with the Lord's Name. Why not? The Sandal tree hrives its fragrance even to the saw that cuts it. Kroria got the Lord's Name deep into his heart and soul. The news of Kroria becoming a disciple of Guru Nanak spread like wild fire. All over was heard: 'Great Guru Nanak Dev' 'Great Guru Nanak Dev' Kroria, now got constructed a temple in bricks and mortar and some accommodation for the disciples and pilhrrims. A deed was Signed. The entire land was transferred in favour ofthe Guru in the government records. The place where the Guru had set his foot was named Kartarpur. This was the holy place where the Guru settled and blessed the people. From this place, he later went on travels and came back here. Here, the Guru set an example of "Living in the family and still not entangled in the world" for everybody to follow. Here, he lit the soul of man with the Lord's flame. Early morning was recitation of]apuji and Asa-di- Var. Evening was the time for Rehraas and Aarti. This was the place where the practice offree food was started. He blessed everyone with the Lord's Name. Guru Nanak's command to Dodo Rani is repeated once again: Say, 0 Lord. Recite the Lord's Name incessantly. Let us say and recite: 'Waheguru,Waheguru,Waheguru'. ('0 Lord,O Lord,O Lord') Starting with at least five minutes a day. Page 27 www.sikhbookclub.com / 17
