GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
Now, when the Guru came to Eminabad (Saidpur Sandyali), then one
day Bhai Lalo narrated the sorrowful state of India and said: 0 true Guru,
there is so much tyranny. Even in Saidpur there is so much oppression.
Then the true Gurusaid: People have no religiousness in them. Theyare in
ihTIlorance and forgetfulness ofthe Lord. When it becomes too hot a dust storm
comes. That also shatters the trees and plants. Then sometimes it rains also.
In the evening, Lalo came back from work. Some more holy people also
came to listen to the divine songs. The Guru was sitting immersed in the love
of the Lord in wondrousness. His 'more beautiful than lotus' face was radiant
with love of the Lord but there was a slight frown on his forehead as if he was
in a merciful mood. Everybody bowed and sat down. ,
Now, his eyes opened, he smiled and said: 0 Lalo, I am saying as the
Lord's will. The tyrant will come from Kabul and spread tyranny. No one
whether a Hindu or Muslim whether a man or woman will be spared. Blood
will spill and women will be treated shamelessly.
When, people heard this, they trembled. Lalo's heart shivered. But the
Guru, without any fear, prophesied what was likely to happen. The intuition
had come from the heavens. In clear words he said: I have got this message
from the Lord's palace. 0 Lalo, I have narrated the same. That message of
what is likely to happen is that Babar will start from Kabul with his troops and
guns and ask for charity by force. Charity means wealth that he will want by
force. The wealth ofthis land, the greed ofwhich has always brought invaders
from foreihTIl lands. When some foreibTIler invader comes, what will happen?
Shame and religion will hide themselves. The troops of the foreihTIlers, the
ruffians and the hooligans will create anarchy shamelessly. Women will be
treated with viciousness.
The question arose that the invader are Muslims and here the present
rulers and the rich are also Muslims. At least the Muslim women will be
respected. Then the Guru said: No. Even the Muslim women whether rich or
poor and who read the scripture while sitting at home in a veil and are pious
will be treated viciously. They will shout 0 God, 0 God but nohody will
listen.
Then the question arose that the Mughals have to forcibly take control of
the territory, so they may be strict to them but the Hindus have to become
their subjects, so, they might be merciful to them.
Then the Guru said: Ifwe make anybody to suffer, he feels bad. Similarly
if somebody makes us suffer, we feel bad. So, why make anyone to suffer.
Like, when a marriage party comes one sings songs ofhappiness and sprinkles
