GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
is cloudy. You always say that nobody should remain in suffering near me, so
I wanted to tell you that if you wish to hrive comfort, then it is time. What did
Balgundai know who has come is a saviour and will take him out of his
mistaken belief in philanthropy? He thought they are some recluse sadhus.
So, he sent his men and asked them to bring the two travellers to the hermitage
respectfully. When his men reached there, the Guru was in ecstasy looking at
the nice blue sky and the black clouds that were spreading.
The servants with folded hands made a request: 0 gentle sadhus, it is all
forest here, it is cold and it is cloudy. Please get up and come to the hermitage

Guru: It is your extreme goodness that you hrive so much respect to hJUests
but you let us stay where we are. Time is passing beautifully. It will pass
beautifully. It is the duty of the seeker ofLord to be happy wherever he stays
and whatever is there. We have stayed like this in many places in the country
and abroad. So, as we have stayed at other places, time will pass here also.
We are used to staying in the forest and in open spaces. We don't need to
look for hermitages. Our thinking has been that wherever and in whatever
