286 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II from worldly desires and attached to the Lord. He lives in the incessant remembrance ofthe Lord and his body soul is immersed in the Supreme soul and he lives in ecstasy. He lives in eternal happiness and is out ofthe cycle of births and deaths. The thinking that everything belongs to the Lord, this is his detachment from worldly desires. The recluses renounce the family and horne but they do not get peace ofmind. The mind has to be detached from desires, whether one is a recluse or a family man. Bhagats: We have to keep our mind detached from desires, relations and friends. Ifyou give some example, then we will understand better. Beloved Guru: You are a group and you travel with recluses. You must have experienced yourself sometimes. When a recluse goes to a new town, then on the first day he feels detached there. He does not feel any attachment there. But when he stays there for sometime then he feels some attachment. Similarly, when we consider our wealth or relations as hJ1ft from the Lord, then we feel a slight detachment. When we consider them of the Lord, then that slight detachment is not despair. That keeps one away from desires and hJ1ves a feeling of comfort. The practical aspect of this slight detachment is that it reduces the wish to get comfort from them and one is in exuberance to hJ1ve comfort to others. If something or somebody goes away, then one does not feel the suffering or a slight sadness comes and goes away. o dear Bhagats, by thinking that everything belongs to the Lord, it does not mean sadness or depression or dejection. It is freedom from desires and exuberance. Like, everybody is happy to acquire but also feels happy to hJ1ve to daughter or son or parents. In this way, with a feeling oflove and sacredness when our mind considers that everything belongs to the Lord, then our mind feels exuberant to hJ1ve. Then when we are in the incessant recitation of Name, then we are in constant touch ofthe Lord. The Lord is all ecstasy. So, when we are in the touch of the Lord and we consider everythIng belongs to Him, then we live in ecstasy. On listening to the discourse of the benevolent and saviour Guru, the Bhagats became Guru-disciples. In the biography is written: On listening to this, the Bhagats fell at the Guru's feet and said: 0 Guru, you are great and great is your glimpse. 0 image of the Lord, you make us your disciples and hJ1ve us the Lord's Name. Then the Guru said: Recite the Lord's Name with love. You are blessed. The Bhagats started recitation ofthe Lord's Name. They got ecstasy. They got salvation. Then the Guru departed from there.

I t 73 Beloved Guru At Achal Watala is early morning. It is the same town Pakhoke Randhawa, it is the same street, it is the same late night moon shedding cool moonlight, he is the same ascetic who was earlier without religiousness in him and is now a beloved ofthe Lord. He is sinh>ing with his same throat an enchanting melody and the listeners are listening. Ajita is awake today. He was awake even before the voice was heard and is immersed in the love ofthe Lord. He is dyed in the love ofthe Lord and his inner self is in ecstasy. His inner self was immersed in the love of the Lord, when suddenly he listened to the voice of the holy man. A sweet and loving melody went into his ears. He went into rapture. But today his wife is still asleep. When she heard the voice of the holy man, she woke up. Her lips uttered: 0 hTfeat Guru Nanak, 0 great Lord. Is it early morning? 0 Lord, I went on sleeping. 0 Lord, I was unmindful. 0 holy man, God bless you. You are distributing your love to others. Your coming to earth is fruitful. This is doing goodness to others. 0 my dear, are you awake? Ajita: Yes. By the hTface of the Lord, I am awake. Wife: 0 dear, why does this holy man not sit in meditation at this early morningtime? No doubt it is doing goodness to others but himselfhe loses his time ofmeditation. Ajita: 1asked him one day. He said: '1 have eaten the salt and food of this town, so I want to do goodness here. The best goodness is that people should not lose this early morning time in sleep. If a gurdwara is constructed and divine sonhrs are sung early in the morning and the time is announced by the beat of drum and the people who wish to become pious may assemble there to listen to'the divine songs, then I need not roam the streets to wake up Page 297 www.sikhbookclub.com
