322 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - "
Ubare Khan: My hand did go towards the sword but then came the godly
soul in my eyes who said: I have always taken the hatred, anger and harsh
words of the people on the shield of foq,riveness and then awakened their
sleeping minds with the balm of the Lord's name. So I took my hand away
from the sword in foq,riveness so that he may live and take blessings from the
godly soul if it is in his destiny.
Zabida Khanam: How did the talk start?
Ubare Khan: While going at the crossing he called me and started putting
questions to me in a rude manner. In the behrinning I ignored him. Then he
named the godly soul as an ascetic and idol worshipper. How could I tolerate
these names when I have seen saints and prophets bowing down at his feet?
Then he said some silly insulting words for the godly soul. First, a sense of
honour came to my mind. Then I foresaw the priest falling at the feet of the
benevolent Guru. My mind said: Some moths come to the lamp for fun's sake
but whoever comes bums his feather of wisdom and cleverness and sacrifices
itself on the lamp. Maybe he has to become a beloved of the godly soul and
this feeling of disregard is pushing him to fall at the feet of the godly soul.
Zabida Khanam: Oh! Please don't mention this talk. I cannot bear to
listen to any words that are not golden words for the image ofthe Lord. I wish
to hear only some good and beautiful praise of the beloved and benevolent
godly soul.
Ubare Khan: In a sweet and loving voice. 0 great Guru Nanak, 0 great
Guru Nanak, 0 great Guru Nanak, 0 great Guru Nanak, 0 Great Guru
Nanak.
Zabida Khanam (with eyes closed and shedding love tears):
o great image of the Lord, Nanak, 0 great image of the Lord, Nanak,
o Great, you are the Lord, 0 Great, you are the Lord.
She opened her eyes and said: Yes, go and spread the gold embroidered
silk sheet under the golden feet of the beloved. In fact find somebody who
should make an embroidered silk while uttering '0 Lord', '0 Lord'. He
should weave the length with the love thread of your eyes and breadth with
the love thread of my eyes and he should keep uttering 0 hJTeat Guru Nanak,
you are hJTeat. Then you offer it and spread it under the sacred feet that make
the sand golden.
Saying this she went into trance. Ubare Khan supported her head on his
shoulders, gave support of his hand and he himself also went into trance.
After sometime Zabida Khanam's eyes opened. In a merciful tone she
said: 0 my loving husband, please do not talk anything unsavory regarding
