GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II 365
humanity will not hrive suffering to anybody and go to the Lord's palace with
respect. He will have peace of mind. He will follow the footsteps of the tenth
Guru who said: One who loves reaches the Lord. He will live in peace of
mind in this world and will be respected in the next world. But one who is not
in love, he does not belong to the true Guru. His mind is away from the Guru.
According to the writing in the Holy Scripture he is not guided by the Guru's
advice. He is a self-guided person.
Come. Let us listen to Lehna's story further. He is enhJTossed in the service
of the Guru. He is dipped in Guru-love. He does not care for anything else.
Love is such that even some princes became disciples of saints. But the
ecstasy that is there in becoming a disciple of Guru Nanak is not there even in
getting a worldly kingdom.
Poet Santokh Singh, the author of Sri Cur Pratap Sura} Cranth, has
described the love of Lehna as follows: If he has to give his head for Guru's
sake he would not think or wait even for a moment.
When the hJTOUP of pilhJTims came back from Vaishno Devi shrine, then
Lehna asked them to have a glimpse of Guru Nanak. Many ofthem discarded
the worship of the goddess and became disciples of Guru Nanak. The hJTOUP
stayed at Kartarpur for two days and then went home. But Lehna continued
to stay and serve the Guru like a bee sticks to the flower.
One late night Lehna woke up and it was very hot. He brought a hand
fan and started waving it for the Guru. After sometime he went to sleep. Then
in a dream he saw one lady in red robes scrubbing the floor outside the door
of the Guru's house. When he got up he asked the Guru: Beloved Guru!
I saw in my dream, one lady in red robes scrubbing the floor outside your
door. Who was she?
Then the Guru said: 0 dear, that was the goddess whom you worshipped
earlier. She is worshipped for worldly gains. She cannot hrive salvation. For
the Lord's saints, she is servant only. The Lord's saints do not worship this
goddess.
Lehna felt delighted that from whom he expected to get salvation, she is
not capable of giving.
o our glorious master Bhai Lehna, if the Lord had not put you in this
selfless service, then how could we see the true example of an ideal Sikh that
you showed us? You only could set the standard of an ideal disciple. We
humans could be an example of an ideal disciple as Bhai Buddha was. But
only you could set the standard of the perfect ideal disciple (because you
were a prophet). Just as darkness is required in the theatre if you wish to
witness a movie, similarly, to set the standard of the perfect ideal disciple it
