294 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
Ajita also realized that the Guru had asked him to draw a line and he got
concentration of mind and strenhrth. That was so easy but even then he could
not bear the strenhrth of the mind. But this boy has so much strenhrth of mind
that he is ready to burn himself on the Guru's asking.
People were watching that the Guru has won over sentimental love and
desires but it was a serious happening and everybody felt afraid.
People were confident that the Guru is an ocean of mercy, god of love
and some miracle will happen. But still many people became diffident that the
Guru is ready to burn his disciples. It might be better to become followers of
sidhas.
When everybody saw the child entering the fire on the Guru's asking,
then everyone looked with eyes and mouth open and with hands on the heart

\\(ho tread on the true path towards the Lord do not wish to acquire supernatural
powers. They are dyed in the love of the Lord and they wish goodness for
others. The child did that.
Then he exemplified that to use supernatural powers for fame and money
is hypocrisy and what he did not like in sidhas he did not like even in his own
disciple, Ajita. He treated both of them in the same way.
A question now arises that when the Guru asked Ajita to draw a line
around the pilgrims and said that no fear will come to those sitting inside this
line, that also was a supernatural power and the Guru had himself asked Ajita
to perform. Now, we must understand that this was neither for fame nor
hypocrisy. Nor it was for any selfish gain. This was meant to save the people
from the unwarranted harassment from the sidhas and Ajita was asked to do
