312 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II Sheikh Malo: Even I had the same. But the sickness (lonj,Ting to meet the Lord) took me to the Hindu doctor and instead of asking for the medicine I, stupid sick person, first put him a question: 0 Lord-sent, tell me whether a Hindu is acceptable to the Lord or a Muslim? Then the benevolent and merciful said: The person who puts this question is a narrow-minded person, the most narrow-minded. Rest, you talk of Hindus or Muslims. Nobody is a Hindu and nobody is a Muslim. On listening to this, I got enraged. 0, me, narrow-minded. First, I am a Muslim, second, I am a chief and thirdly, I am a learned scholar. I can win in a debate. Am I narrow-minded? But there was so much shower of radiance of love coming from his face that I could not speak in anger but still in a dim voice I said: If no one is Hindu and no one is Muslim, then why the Lord has created the two? Then the master of maj,1Jlificence said in relaxed tone: All human bodies are made of one earth. One Lord has created all. One soul is in everybody. Neither the soul nor the body is Hindu or Muslim. Iftwo mothers, one Hindu and one Muslim, leave their children in a forest, then who will you say is a Hindu and who a Muslim? When, there is actually no difference, then "Who is better?" The question doesn't arise. The nose, face, eyes, ears of both are the same. Only, when you find out who the parents are, then you may say a Hindu or a Muslim. It is your naming. So, who is big or small in name? Then one is named a Muslim but is full of pride, stone-hearted, tyrant, cmelliar and deceiver. One who has named him a Muslim, will he say he is a Muslim. Will any Hindu say that this person is Hindu if he is a deceiver, hypocrite, selfish and cruel? Will you say that? I said: No. I will not. Then he said: Then the need to say big or small doesn't arise. Then he said: Will you recommended a Muslim who is not piOUS? I said: No. Then he said: A Hindu, if he is piOUS and kind. Will you say he is a sinner? I said: No. Never. Then he said: What have you asked me about? When he put this question, then I got awaken-ness, I was dazed. What mistaken beliefs I had? The ego of being a Muslim has weakened my mind, neither there is any difference in essence nor in deeds. The difference is in the interpretation ofthe mind, and the ego of being big. I was feeling ashamed in my mind and my ego was fading when he looked at me with a miraculous charm in his eyes. I felt a sensation. I trembled and I could see the human Page 322 www.sikhbookclub.com

My mind got elevation and sensation ofthe presence of the Lord. My inner self felt ecstasy. My head got filled with rapture. My inner self said: This is meeting the Lord. I felt an awaken-ness of my mind. My inner mind said: You have got life from lifelessness. My body soul got immersed in the Supreme soul. I lifted my head. I looked at his face. His face showered radiance. My eyes could not bear the dazzle. I thought he is a saint. My mind said: No, 0 fool. I thought he is a prophet. My mind said: No, he is bigger than a prophet. I thoughtHe is an image ofthe Lord. My mind said: He is more than that. Then I said: 0 who is he? Who is he? Who is he? A heavenly voice said in my ears: He is Himself. 0 friend, I had a glimpse of the Lord. I got a sensation of the presence of the Lord in my mind, heart and body cells. I got life. You are a Muslim.

Love tears coming from some fountain of love, were slipping down the eyes, like pearls. Who would reply? Sheikh Malo: You are like a damsel wishing to be admitted in the Lord's palace. I want to tell you that although my mind that was earlier estranged but is now reformed and it is in the remembrance of the Lord but still a frivolous argument came to my mind that how does one get respect in the Lord's court? How will I get respect there? Then the handsome godly throat opened and said: To remain in the forgetfulness of the Lord even for one moment is the greatest suffering of the mind. How can one get respect in the Lord's court when one is in the forgetfulness of the Lord? When we meet the Guru our ego goes that was the veil between our self and the Lord. Rare are those in this world who do not forget the Lord even for one moment. Make the true Guru your friend. Then you will get respect in the Lord's court. Ubare Khan: Wonderful! You have made my mind cool. Page 323 www.sikhbookclub.com 313
