302 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II Balgundai understood the subtle meaning of the words of the Guru. He looked inside his mind, where he always saw no desires and carefreeness. There he saw that the desire that the materials should keep coming and are distributed is there in his mind. When some material is finished then the want of the needy comes to the mind and one desires that more material should come so that their need can be fulfilled. He said to his mind: The handsome Guru has caught me from where. In this wondrous feeling, he said: Please be good to tell your name. Then the Guru mentioned his name. When Balh'lmdai heard the name, he felt a sensation. He had heard the name before. He had also heard his praise before. He had a great regard for him and a wish to meet him. His mind said: You are fortunate. Your stars are shining that he has come. Then he fell at the Guru's feet He felt ecstasy. After sometime, he thought that Guru Nanak is renowned for his truthfulness. Should I not ask him one thing? It is boasting a little but let me try. Then he said: I have a doubt It is, that now it is raining and a cold breeze is blowing. Ifyou had stayed outside, would you have felt comfortable or now that you are staying inside you are feeling comfortable? You don't mind my boldness to ask. Guru: It is the body's nature to feel comfortable in comfort and to feel suffering in suffering. Now it is comfortable. What is the doubt in it? But for a seeker of the Lord, the comfort or suffering should be considered equal or same. When you consider the comforts and suffering as same, then the agony of suffering and the laziness of comforts, both go away. Then for the person who is treading on the path towards the Lord, for him the sufferings are a medicine and the comforts sometime become a cause of illness. That is why one should bear the suffering and consider comfort and suffering as equal. The yogi again wondered, how he tells the truth and then he tells the secret that brings one around, that one should consider comfort and suffering as equal, as the central prinCiple. Then the yogi got hTfeen leafy vegetable and bread made from herbs and said: 0 benevolent Guru, my food is this. What good food you have seen in the kitchen, I do not touch. That is all for the guests. My wearing is this Khadi. Whatever clothes you have seen in the store, I give to the needy. The poor who come, I give to them. Page 312 www.sikhbookclub.com
GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II The horses you have seen are for the travellers. I do not ride the horses. I do not touch anything. Everything is for doing goodness to others. Then the Guru laughed and said: 0 BalhTUndai, you are the best yogi who has won over selfishness and has understood the suffering of the people and you have killed your mind to allay the suffering of other people. But... He said but and further kept quiet and the yogi was eager, in waiting, that now the Guru will tell something that will be something to learn and for my good. The yogi had related his detachment and his high ideals and now he was in the hope that the Guru who has said 'But' will say something by which he will open some knot. But the Guru kept quiet. Then Balgundai said: 0 merciful Guru, you tell what will be goodness for me. Then the Guru said: Balgundai, you are a pious saint. But what shall we do with piousness? You see, the metallic pot of the running wheel of a well brings the water and gives it to the channel. The channel gives it to the aqueduct. The aqueduct immediately throws it in the pit. The channel and the aqueduct do not keep even a drop with them. Their making is such that it is giving only. But see, even they get rusted. It went into Balgundai's mind that the Guru has given an example of the channel and aqueduct of a well. Exactly similar is my position. I do not touch any materials. I give everything away. But even that leaves dirt on the mind. Already, he had said that a desire comes that this coming and giving of material should continue. In this way this desire is rust by way of ego on the mind. He understood all this and he was in despair, thinking that to be without .desire in the world is impossible, and it is most discouraging that there is no remedy anywhere. Then he composed himself and said: Any remedy that the channel and aqueduct do not get rusted. Guru: The mind and the body are moving in a wheel. It is the wheel of deeds. Our good and bad deeds keep us in this wheel. We are dependent on the wheel, till such time that we get out of this dependence and get a hold on the steering. That we cannot do with our own strength. Ifwe join ourselves with the Supreme power, then we get infinite strength and with that strength we are able to hold the steering. Then there is no rust. Balgundai: How will it happen? I have already done penances and austerities. I have done breath control also. I have kept fasts and have done' Page 313 www.sikhbookclub.com 303
