GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II 251
Saint: Is there any purpose of the suffering in this world?
Guru: The Lord only knows His wilL But 0 saint, what is evident is that
the beating that a wrestler suffers in exercise, fighting, falling, getting up,
jumping, knocking and boxing with a stronger person, that only gives strenhrth
to his muscles to become victorious over others. Those who keep sitting in
comfort do not become valiant In this way, comfort is the sickness and suffering
the medicine. The life that has come in this world or you may say that the soul
that has come in this arena Le. the world has come to win over the worldly
desires. The worldly desires trap it and create a hindrance but the soul fights,
falls, suffers and makes a determined effort and becomes victorious, pure,
crystal and meets the Supreme souL Like, the soft clay containers become
hard and useful after putting them in the kiln.
The Lord Himself knows His will but it is evident that one who makes an
endeavor and wins over the worldly desires becomes a saint and a Lord's
beloved.
Saint: You have explained so well. You are great. Now, I have one more
question to ask you. According to Hindu relihrion, the soul remains in the
cycle ofbirths and deaths but according to Muslim religion there is no rebirth.
What do you say about?
Guru: Something that happens in one sphere is not perceived in another
sphere. Stupid people make their own theories and then insist on those theories.
One who has got elevation of mind through his endeavour of remembrance
of the Lord, who has got the sensation of the Lord in his mind, heart and
body, he does not suffer in this world. He has got salvation. He will go to the
Lord's palace. The fruit that becomes ripe on the tree does not remain hanging
on the branch. Now, the branch is not the place for him to stay. He will go to
the owner's palace. That is the place for him. But one who has wasted his time
in the forgetfulness of the Lord, who has not ripened himself and gone unripened,
he will come to know of his un-ripened-ness in the Lord's palace
where the good deeds and bad deeds are taken into account. The un-ripenedness
requires it to be reborn. The seed of birth is still in it. Because once the
com pops up, then there is no seed left in it to pop up again. But if it is not
popped up, then the seed remains in it to pop up. Similarly, for the unripened
to ripen again, the Lord's mercy gives them a chance again and again
to ripen. So that again it makes an endeavour to remain in remembrance and
shed its forgetfulness of the Lord.
The parents sending their sons to the wrestling arena again and again is
to hrive them an opportunity to become strong men.
