328 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
mind should blossom with Name. The Lord's Name should settle in the mind,
heart and body. One should remain in the incessant remembrance of the
Lord. The endeavour is recitation ofthe Lord's Name with love by the tonhTUe.
Name is the soap that washes the dirt of vices on the mind. The Lord is the
creator and saviour and gives nourishment to all. The Lord was, the Lord is
and He will always be the Lord.
Turning the mind towards love ofthe Lord, meeting the Lord, immersing
the body soul in the Supreme soul is religion. This is to be religious, whether
one is a Hindu or a Mohammedan. If this is not relihJ1on, then what else
remains? It is all hypocrisy, show off, deceiving one's self or say cutting one's
own feet with axe.
Muslim priest (in shame and a thoughtful mood): In your eyes no one is
there. But they are standing here. One is a strong thread and one is a fake
thread.
Guru: These are ideas of fanatics. These are mistaken beliefs. The
foundation of any relihJ10n has to be love. To be relihJ10us is to imbibe love in
the mind.Jealousy is evil thinking. Hatred is a devilish characteristic.
Both are not acceptable in the Lord's palace. They are not permitted in
the Lord's court.
Muslim Priest: Is idol-worship not undesirable?
Guru: It is undesirable but selfishness, greed and vices are worst. The
prime worship is love of the Lord.
Muslim priest: Then you mean to say, nobody should remain as a Hindu
or a Mohammedan.
Guru: Why not stay? Only they should imbibe love of the Lord. If both
of them do not wish to do that, then it might be better if they leave this world.
The earth might become lighter.
Muslim priest: Who are you?
Guru: You can see. I am standing in front of you.
Muslim priest (changing the topic): All right.You tell. When the idolworshippers
are disregardful of the Lord, should we not have hatred for
them?
Guru: One should not hate any sick person. 0 Muslim priest, the world is
in suffering without the Lord's Name. Everybody's mind is dirty and in darkness
in the forgetfulness of the Lord. The medicine is love and mercy. Whatever
turns the mind away from the Lord, may be idol-worship or may be ego or
hatred or selfishness or vices or passions all are bad, all are undesirable but
whoever is in suffering, one should not have hatred for anyone. One should
have mercy on them.
