GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
So, the sidhas said: You have shown your supernatural powers to the
world. You also show us some supernatural powers.
Guru: 0 sidhas, I do not possess any supernatural powers. I have the
Lord's Name and love of the Lord. The Lord is the creator of the universe
and the sustainer also.
Saying this he looked towards the sidhas. The sidhas lost all their
concentration ofmind. They asked for supernatural powers. They lost whatever
supernatural powers they had. But they did not realize that it is the Guru's
miraculous-ness that they have lost their concentration of mind. At this time,
the Guru by chance looked towards the lake and saw the dead birds flying.
Then he asked, who is it who is making the dead birds alive and sitting on
water as if in a boat. Who is that who is showing off his supernatural power
and trying to become famous?
The sidhas said: 0 Guru, this is your disciple and the supernatural power
is with you and your disciples only.
On listening to this the Guru had a frown on his forehead and he sent
somebody to call back Ajita. He looked towards Ajita with merciful eyes. Ajita
lost all strenhTth of the mind and felt enfeebled.

In the book, Guru Nanak Prakash, is another story that throws light on principles.
It is that one 'father and mother' brought their child oftwelve years age to
the Guru and said: 0 beloved Guru, whenever we had a child that child died.
We got blessings from many saints but it did not help. Then we worshipped
your name and this child has lived. According to our resolve this child is
yours. You keep him in your service.
The miraculous Guru wanted to make sure whether the parents are really
serious in their offer or they have just said it for the sake of formality. Also
whether the child likes that. He knew that the child is a saint and was born and
has lived by his blessings but he wanted to reform the world so that people
see the test that the parents are put to and the sidhas see their hollowness that
the supernatural powers have no place in the path to salvation. He asked one
disciple to light a fire and asked the child to step in it. Neither the child
hesitated to enter the burning fire nor the parents frowned at what the Guru
was doing! The child thought that whatever the Guru does is his wish. The
parents thought that it is the Guru who hrives life and takes. He is unerring.
Whatever he does has a meaning that we do not understand.
The sidhas were perplexed that if somebodyoffers a disciple like that we
would bless him immensely but the Guru is going to bum him.
