fruit is more. We do not understand this point. Please explain this to us.
Then the Guru said: Gentlemen, you see, the carpenters cut the wood
and the labourers carry the weight on their heads. They do so much labour
and get very little money for that. Then the grocer who has a shop does less
labour but he earns more money. Similarly, the cloth dealers and jewellers
labour sti1lless and earn still more. Then the diamond merchants do the least
labour but their earning is the most.
Similar is the case with the first and second type of practise. The effect of
the first type and the second one is more on the body. But the third one is
mainly for the mind.
T a control the body and the senses with the first and second type of
practise is a hard job.
As I have told you the third one is the easiest. If one turns the mind and
controls the body passions in this way, then the fruit is much more.
The most important thing is to rein the mind and turn it towards the love
of the Lord. For that you have to read the scriptures, understand its meaninhTS,
sing the divine songs and do what the scripture tells. The dirt of your mind
will go qUickly. You will become good and you will do goodness to others.
Then your mind will be attracted towards the 'All goodness Lord'. The attraction
for the Lord will reach you to the Lord who is the Lord of the heavens.
After listening to the discourse of the Guru, Maalo and Maanga started
reading the scriptures, reciting the Lord's name with love and singing the
divine songs. They got salvation and many more people got salvation through
their holy company.
Bhai Gurdas writes: Bhai Maalo and Bhai Maanga felt ecstasy and rapture
by reading the Holy Scripture and singing the divine songs.
Bhai Mani Singh writes: Bhai Maalo gave discourse of the divine hymns
and Bhai Maanga listened with all the attention of his mind, and then both of
them sang the divine songs with music. People were filled with ecstasy by
listening to their divine songs. Their vices vanished and they got into honest
earning and sharing and started service to the congregation. The entire town
became holy.
This was the fruit of the discourse and divine sonhTS of Bhai Maalo and
Bhai Maanga. Such persons are required for hriving discourses and sinhring
divine songs.
One thing was that the Guru blessed them. Secondly, they 0 beyed the
Guru's words and acted on it. Acting on his words was reading the scriptures
daily with attention and understanding its meanings.
