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 but nothing happened to the child. Neither the child shuddered with fear nor he got burnt. Everybody was dazed to see the child unmoved. Then the Guru asked the child to come out ofthe fire and said: You are blessed. You are out of the cycle of births and deaths. On listening to the Guru's words the child came out ofthe fire. He felt elevation ofmind and a sensation of the presence of the Lord in his mind, heart and body. He got intuitiveness. Then the Guru said: You ask for anything. The child said: For me there is nothing better than what you have hTiven me already but uncle Aiita and the sidhas are feeling despair in losing their supernatural power. You bless them that they regain their powers. In this way, the Guru showed to the people that to accept the Lord's will is the prime thing. One who accepts the Lord's will is the real disciple of the Lord. He has metthe Lord. In accepting the Lord's will many a times sufferings come. They should be considered as the Lord's will and be accepted. Those \\(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 that much only. He felt that Aiita's walking on water and making the dead Page 304 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II 295 birds alive was a desire for fame. That is why he reprimanded Ajita for his fault. The Guru at most times did not like to use supernatural powers. Not that the supernatural powers were not there. The powers were in abundance and being a prophet the powers were inherent in him but he never used those for show off or fame or material gains. They were used for goodness to others or to exemplify that supernatural powers have no value as compared to love of the Lord. When the sidhas realized that by the Guru's word they have got their supernatural powers back and he has exemplified that the supernatural powers have no value as compared to love of the Lord and one should accept the Lord's will. Then they realized that the Guru is not an ordinary saint who has attained supernatural powers by concentration of mind. He has come from the Lord and is immersed in the love of the Lord and has strenhrth ofthe Lord in him. We should now leave aside the supernatural powers and get some higher spiritual knowledge from him that will be for our benefit. But the habits do not die soon. Their mind was engrossed in supernatural powers. So, they started discussing in respect ofsupernatural powers. They thought that would also give us an assessment of his spiritual strenhrth.

Then, the Guru said: Even if one has supernatural power to move the entire universe, it is futile without the Lord's Name. They keep you trapped in worldly desires.
