GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II<br />

Kroria said: It is all your benevolence.<br />

Kroria 0 bserved the <strong>Guru</strong> now and said to himself: <strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong>, whom I<br />

wanted to put behind bars, is all love and sweetness and is all graciousness.<br />

Shame on me, I should be thankful to the <strong>Guru</strong> for his foq,riveness and<br />

hrrace. 0, <strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong>, you are hrreat.<br />

Somebody had said to me: Don't put your chest against the fury of a<br />

river. Who uttered these heavenly words?<br />

He looked that side and said: 0 Great <strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong>, they are all your<br />

holy saints blessed by you.<br />

Kroria became a <strong>Guru</strong>-disciple. <strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong> blessed him with the Lord's<br />

Name. Why not? The Sandal tree hrives its fragrance even to the saw that cuts<br />

it. Kroria got the Lord's Name deep into his heart and soul.<br />

The news of Kroria be<strong>com</strong>ing a disciple of <strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong> spread like wild<br />

fire. All over was heard: 'Great <strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong> Dev'<br />

'Great <strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong> Dev'<br />

Kroria, now got constructed a temple in bricks and mortar and some<br />

ac<strong>com</strong>modation for the disciples and pilhrrims.<br />

A deed was Signed. The entire land was transferred in favour ofthe <strong>Guru</strong><br />

in the government records. The place where the <strong>Guru</strong> had set his foot was<br />

named Kartarpur. This was the holy place where the <strong>Guru</strong> settled and blessed<br />

the people. From this place, he later went on travels and came back here.<br />

Here, the <strong>Guru</strong> set an example of "Living in the family and still not entangled<br />

in the world" for everybody to follow.<br />

Here, he lit the soul of man with the Lord's flame.<br />

Early morning was recitation of]apuji and Asa-di- Var. Evening was the<br />

time for Rehraas and Aarti.<br />

This was the place where the practice offree food was started. He blessed<br />

everyone with the Lord's Name.<br />

<strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong>'s <strong>com</strong>mand to Dodo Rani is repeated once again:<br />

Say, 0 Lord. Recite the Lord's Name incessantly.<br />

Let us say and recite:<br />

'Waheguru,Waheguru,Waheguru'.<br />

('0 Lord,O Lord,O Lord')<br />

Starting with at least five minutes a day.<br />
