GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-"
Saint: What should I say?
Guru Nanak: Truth.
Saint: True, true, true. The entire city of Sialkot is of devils. Those who
could cut Puran saint's hands, how can they be trusted?
Guru Nanak: Is it all the people, the entire city?
Saint: Yes, total.
Guru Nanak: It has never happened. The piOUS and the bad people live
together. Yes, hatred is supreme in the world. There is no love. But the pious
and the bad people are living side by side.
Saint: You can test that. Then you will know. I have tested and known.
After having said this, his eyes closed and the saint became semi-conscious.
The true Guru asked his disciples to massage him. Then he regained
consciousness. The Guru then asked his disciples to get fruit juice. He was
,given fruit juice. Then he became fully conscious. Then again he was briven
fruit juice. Sometimes he felt cold, sometimes hot. The saint became soft but
he was still in anger.
He said: Ifyou are the same Nanak who is the prophet and I feel so, then
you test the people of the city.
Guru Nanak: 0 Mardana, here is a chit and here are two rupees. Go to
the city and bring 'truth' worth one rupee and 'falsehood' worth one rupee.
Tell the person to brive the merchandise correctly.
Mardana understood the miracles of Guru Nanak, but everyday it was a
new miracle and he felt astonished everyday.
In astonishment, obeying the orders, he went to the city. He went to each
and every shop. Although, many shops were not open because people were
coming here, where the tomb had broken. The news of the breaking of the
tomb and Guru Nanak's words becoming true had spread in the city. But still
he tried many shops. Whoever saw the chit pondered, somebody made fun,
somebody put off and somebody asked him with folded hands, to go away.
But Mardana having been in the company of Guru Nanak had lot of patience
in him. So, he kept on asking at more and more shops.
Finally, one shopkeeper wrote something on two pieces of paper and
gave it to him saying, one is truth and one is falsehood.
Mardana returned with the pieces of paper and gave it to the Guru.
VII
Guru Nanak kept the papers in front of the saint and said: Please read these.
The saint read it. It said: Death is truth. Life is falsehood. One \;vhQ has
understood this does not forget the Lord.
