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. Page 338 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II 329 We have to imbibe virtuous habits in us. To be merciful is a virtue. Sin is bad. But we have to be virtuous and have mercy on the sinfuL So, the saints must have mercy on everybody. Saints, like a doctor, h>ive the medicine of mercy to the sinfuL To have hatred for the patients is not befitting for doctors. The doctor does not have hatred for his patients. He has kindness and mercy on them and gives them medicine with love and pleasure. Win over hatred with love. Win over idol-worship and ego with love of the Lord. The wands and sticks have no place in a doctor's house. Muslim priest (in a soft tone): Now I have realized that you are not an idol-worshipper. You are in love of the Lord. I have no disagreement with you. Guru: I have no separateness with anyone. The Lord has sent me to join the separated with the Lord. His command is to join and not separate. Muslim priest: Why does one have enviousness? What is the cure for jealousy? Guru: For a seeker of the Lord when there is shortcoming in meditation or when he has followed a false spiritual guide, then the jealousy remains in the mind. Like an inexperienced doctor would stitch the wound on the top but it remains inside. Then it creates pus that keeps coming out and h>ives trouble. The right cure for jealousy or hatred is the Lord's Name and singing the praises of the Lord. The endeavour is 'recitation of the Lord's name with love'. Imbibe the love of the Lord in your self. With recitation of Name, the dirt of ego and desires on the mind goes away. When one is in the incessant remembrance of the Lord in the mind, heart and body, then all vices and passions go away. Muslim priest: When one sees the truth and realizes that this is the true path even then the mind remains stubborn. Whatis the reason? Guru: Everybody's foundation of the mind is on false show off. For show off, deception and lies become a habit. That erodes the mind. But when one makes a determined endeavour to cleanse the mind and take shelter of the Lord's name, then the Lord who is a saviour supports. Saying this, the Guru looked at the Muslim priest with merciful'eyes. The Muslim priest's eyes halfclosed. He felt something like a cracking sound in his mind. The veil of forgetfulness of the Lord broke. He felt elevation of mind. Unknowingly he fell at the Guru's feet and said: Please for!,>ive my sins. You are not a Hindu. You are not an idol-worshipper. You are not just a saint. You are notjust a prophet. You are the image of the Lord. What Ubare Khan said was true. My false ego deceived me. Please save me from this ego. I am at your feet.
