292 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
he dressed like a Hindu priest, sometimes like a Muslim priest and some times
he wore a mixed dress that meant that he does not belong to any particular
relihJion or sect. He was immersed in the love of the Lord and was carefree in
the choice of dresses. He wore all types of dresses. That meantthat he was not
bound to any particular dress. He wore whatever he wished to wear.
When the sidhas were defeated in arhTUments, then they thought of
frightening the Guru and the people by using their supernatural powers.
They dish'1lised themselves as tigers, snakes and fireballs. When they adopted
this method of terrifying, then of course the Guru was not the least afraid but
the people trembled with fear. Then, the fearless Guru said in a loud voice: 0
children ofthe Lord, don't be afraid. Have patience. This is all an illusion and
a trap.
Then again the Guru said: 0 Ajita, draw a line around the people who
are sitting here with us. No tiger or snake or fireball would enter within this
circle. 0 child, get up, keep uttering 0 Lord, 0 Lord and draw the line
around all the people.
The Guru had already blessed supernatural powers to Ajita. Now, again
he blessed him more strength. Ajita got up, uttered 0 Lord, 0 Lord and drew
a line around all the people. All the people inside the line became fearless.
But the strength that the Guru blessed Ajita was unbearable and he was
over-exuberant In pride he thought that ifhe shows some supernatural power,
then the people's faith in the Guru will remain steadfast and the sidhas will get
a beating. So, he went into the lake. He spread a sheet on the water and sat on
it as one sits on a plank. He picked up some birds that had fallen dead on the
previous day and made them fly. People were amazed to see that even the
disciples of the Guru have supernatural powers. The Guru has supernatural
powers.
The Guru was sitting immersed in the love of the Lord. The sidhas tried
their best but neither the Guru got frightened nor the people felt any fear.
The sidhas used all their strength. Now in despair, they felt ashamed. They
realized that all their desperate efforts became useless.
See, first they hid the money tray ofthe performers and blamed the Guru
for the same. They lost in that endeavour. Then they tried to ridicule the
Guru with taunts and hJibes but again they were themselves ridiculed. Third
they tried to frighten the Guru and the people by dish'1lising themselves as
jungle animals. They could not succeed in that. Now they came and sat down
with two things in mind, one that they will ask the Guru to bless them with
supernatural powers and second they will have a debate on the interpretation
of scriptures.
