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

Then the Guru said: Balgundai, you are a pious saint. But what shall we

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'
