262 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II
Yar Wali: My lips had become so dry that they were not even capable of
drinking anything. Shower of nectar came by some hJTace. My dry lips got life
and from the lips the nectar went into the body. Some godly soul came and
took out the mistaken beliefs from my mind and blessed me the Lord's Name.
It is not my effort that I have found something. My efforts were all fruitless
efforts.
Sharaf: Then you drank the nectar alone. You should have remembered
your friend.
Yar Wali: What you say is correct. But the truth is that I was so much
overwhelmed that I could not remember anything or anybody.
Sharaf: My friend, I give you credit that you have told the truth. Now you
please tell which side the frahJTant breeze has gone?
Yar WaH: You cannot find the fragrant breeze. You cannot catch it by
running after it. Have a longing in your heart. The frahJTant breeze might
come this side.
Sharaf: You are right. You are right.
Saying this, he looked towards his friend and became quiet and sat down
in longing at the same spot where we was sitting and kept sitting for four days.
For full four days he kept on sitting in longing and craving.
After four days reached the god of love in whose longing he was sitting.
Sharaf got a glimpse of the godly soul. When he saw the Guru, first his eyes
drank the nectar, then from the looks he did not appear to be a Muslim. A
thin line of ego of his being a Muslim came in his mind. His mind was
impressed but his mind that carried the slight dirt of ego thought ofexamining.
With folded hands he asked the Guru to sit down and himself sat down with
knees bent and said: 0 Gracious Guru, I beg your pardon. The seekers of
the Lord are of two types. First are those who fall at the feet on having a
glimpse like salt in water. Second are those who first satisfy their egoistic mind,
then they fall at the feet.
Guru: The mind has to be dyed in the love ofthe Lord. You can dye it in
whatever way you want to. 0 holy man, you may ask anything.
Sharaf: You are wearing this gown. What does this denote?
Guru: A corpse is shrouded.
Similarly, I have put this gown because so far as the people are concerned
I am dead (smiling).
Sharaf: Do you mean, dead for the people but for one-self living?
Guru: Not living but got awakened life.
Sharaf: (In his mind) Not living but got awakened life.
