was not ready to listen to anybody. The love ofthe true Guru was making him
do all this. In love, who remembers being rich or poor?
Steadily, he reached Kartarpur and entered the Guru's house. When, the
respected lady of the house, the Guru's wife, saw Lehna deeply immersed in
the Guru's love, she immediately got the bundle of salt down his head. She
got a chair and a fan for him and lovingly asked him to sit down. Guru
Nanak, himself had gone to the fields for some cultivation work.
How could Lehna just sit? He enquired the location and went to the
fields.
He met the Guru in the fields and fell at the Guru's feet. At this time, the
workers were plucking out grass and weeds from the rice fields. Lehna also
started doing the same. Since, he had never done this type ofwork before, the
rice plant was also getting plucked along with the h'Tass and weeds.
The Guru noticed this and said, "Gentleman, this work is not for you.
You have to plant and not pluck. You leave this work. You pick the already
plucked h'Tass and weeds and take it home and feed the cattle".
On listening to the Guru, Lehna immediately put the h'Tass and leaves full
of muddy water in a cloth, tied the cloth, and put it on his head and went
home. The muddy water that was oozing fell on his silk shirt allover and
spoiled it.
The respected lady of the house, sawall this and was astonished that first
he carried so much weight of salt on his head and again he has carried a
heavy load on his head while coming back from the fields. The mud has also
spoiled his expensive silken clothes.
When the Guru came, the respected lady ofthe house, with emotion, told
the Guru that first he carried a bundle of salt on his head and again he has
carried a load on his head and his silken clothes have all got spoiled with the
mud falling on them.
Guru Nanak, who was a just evaluator of merit, smiled and said:
"0 good lady, he has not carried the weight of two bags. That was the
weight of the two worlds on his head.
That was not the h'Tass plucked from the rice fields. That was a crown
from the Lord on his head.
That was not mud on his clothes. That was a sprinkling of saffron on his
clothes.
He has to become the king of my divine kingdom".
