28 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II
Guru Nanak: 0 saint, you tell, is the person who has written this telling a
lie?
Saint: No. It is not a lie.
Guru Nanak: Then even if there is one Ideal man in the city, why ruin the
entire city?
Saint: Then?
Guru Nanak: Then whoever does wrong should bear. Why ruin the
entire city?
Saint (in shame): Then Geega has done wrong, he should bear.
Guru Nanak: But should the saint be gracious or enraged? The fire may
light but why should the ice smolder?
Saint: How?
Guru Nanak: You gave blessings. That was h'Taciousness. God bless you.
You, who were gracious, now became angry and got enraged. A saint should
be in praise of the Lord, recitation of Name and love. You discarded all this
and went into anger. Anger makes one's mind suffer. You ponder. Somebody

punishments you gave to your mind and body, for what sin? You gave these
punishments to yourselfwho was blameless. This can be called, 'When Geega
does wrong then saint be punished'. He is not a saint, who indulges in anger.
A saint is always cool, in tranquillity and happiness. How is he in love when
he displays hatred? How does he belong to God when he is not always
h'Tacious? It is difficult to control the mind. It is difficult to be away from
mistakes. But the saint has to control his ego and desires. A saint has to ride
over these passions, not that ego and desires should control the saint. A saint
has not to h>1ve the reins of the mind in the hands of ego and desires. Instead
he has to keep the reins pulled in his hands like a rider rides a horse and keep
himself in the love of the Lord.
Now the true Guru's countenance changed. His eyes half closed.
There was a glow on his face. His body got attuned like the strings of a
musical instrument tuned.
Mardana understood his mood. He started playing the rebeck. The godly
soul, who had corne to this earth to attune the minds musically with the Lord,
sang a divine song. The sweetness and melody ofthe song, the loving Ramkali
tune, the sacred and true words, the rebeck ofMardana created an atmosphere
of peace, tranquillity, love of the Lord and ecstasy.
Those who listened, in them, the realization of their faults came in their
minds. The effect on the saint was profound. The real saintliness is to see
