250 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
When the saint saw the son's bowl full of sacred sweet he was dazed.
When his son had closed his eyes it was empty and no one else had come
there to give the sacred sweet.
The saint became sure that the sacred sweet has come from some
supernatural power and was deeply impressed by the Guru's divinity.
The saint touched the Guru's feet in reverence. Then he said to his
followers: Don't consider him just a saint. He is an image of the Lord. Ask
forgiveness from him.
Then everybody bowed their heads to the Guru and asked for forbriveness.
The Guru said: See, the one Lord in everybody. Tread on the true path
of 'recitation of the Lord's Name with love'. You will get salvation.

Now, the Guru stayed there for some days. People started coming without
any fear. The saint himself also came quite often to meet the Guru. He got
elevation of mind. The Guru was merciful not only on sinful, stupid and
suffering people, but he understood the sufferings ofthose who were rich and
in luxuries. He was more merciful to those also. That is why he visited relibrious
centers despite the expected confrontation. In whatever way, his aim was to
put the saints and their followers on the correct path. Here also he did the
same. On listening to the true words of the Guru the saint's mind got turned
towards love of the Lord and love of humanity. He felt the grace being
showered by the Guru. The Guru gave him the Lord's name and his mind got
the sensation of the presence of the Lord in his mind, heart and body. He got
a great love and regard for the Guru but sometimes he did put questions to
him. One day he asked: As a potter goes on making containers and keeps
them, similarly, the Lord is creating on earth men without any proper faith in
their minds. Why does the Lord wish to do that? As the containers are made
by the rotation of the potter's wheel, similarly, from the rotation of the sky
men are being hom in this world.
Then the Guru replied: The containers are made from clay only. The soft
clay only is put on the wheel. The dough can be made from soft clay only.
Nothing can be made from hard earth. But the potter does not make the
containers to keep them in that softness. His process is to make them hard in
the kiln. The sufferings and sorrows of the world and lack of peace of mind
make a man to search for some true happiness. In that search one finds
something. Then the mind becomes strong in sufferings and sorrow. Then he
becomes strong like the containers from the potter's kiln.
As you said that by the rotation of the sky men are being born, but the
men who are born become saints in the holy company of saints.
