324 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II
Lord and His remembrance is the embroidered silk that they always wear.
Ubare Khan (with tears in eyes): 0 Lord's Beloved, This is not for wearing.
This, I have brought to spread under your sacred feet. Zabida cried and said:
This silk is dirty. Your feet are handsome. By the touch of your feet the sand
particles have become diamonds. Our inner self should somehow spread
under your sacred feet. Our minds are dirty. Our love is not pure. We cannot
see inwardly. We show our love by hrifting worldly things. We consider it a
way of expressing love. This is just a token of our love. You do not call
yourself an ascetic. My ears cannot bear this word. Even if I call you a king, it
is not sufficient. I do not know how I should address you? To address you by
a name is being disregardful. You are the Supreme power. This earth is
yours. The gold in the earth is yours. When you walk on this earth, you lift
your feet from gold and put it on diamonds. You are that carefree and unparalleled.
In the same way you put your sacred feet on this humble
embroidered silk. Our dirty minds full of ego will be elevated and become
exuberant. What can I say?
Then Ubare Khan had tears in his eyes and looked down.
Buddha ji (who was sitting in the congregation): 0 Lord's Beloved, you
are without desires. You are free from wants. 0 master, you are always
satiated even without food and happy in sitting on sand. You live in the
heavens and you are above sleep, hunger and other needs. For you gold and
earth is equivalent. You do not require any service. You are immersed in the
love of the Lord. You are a hriver and not a taker. To take is to extend our lap
and to hrive are your benevolent hands. This is not somebody hriving and you
taking. This is a love of earthly people. This is a play of earthly people.
At your door you accept this love when it comes with roasted grams or
coarse cloth. Similarly, by mistake this love has come with gold embroidered
silk. This is from a humble mind. You are benevolent. Please accept this.
o embodiment of love, 0 shower of love, 0 bestowal of love, you love
everybody. You have showed us how to love everyone. You please accept
this mad love. Ubare Khan's love is stuck in this service to you. You please
accept and fulfill his wish. His mind will become exuberant. Ifyou disappoint
him, his heart will sink.
Ubare Khan's mind was full of prayers. Along with Ubare Khan's mind
Zabida's mind was swaying in love and prayers.
So, to return this hrift was not returning the golden silk but it would have
been a shock that their minds are so dirty that even this humble gift is not
worthy of the sacred feet of the Guru.
