30 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
need for supernatural powers and fame? Fame, respect and riches run after
the saints. The saints have to keep them at bay and not get trapped in them,
rather than running after them.
If any saint, sadhu, faqir, sidha is running after fame, respect and riches,
then he is a householder and a lower type of house- holder. 1£ his happiness
is, to increase his income and to amass wealth in the name of charity and
shows his superiority by hriving blesses and curses, then he is absolutely a
worldly man. He is not a preacher of relihrion. Such saints are making the
people suffer.
A saint is he who is contented. A saint, faqir or sadhu is one who recites
the Lord's Name and makes others recite the Lord's Name, who is above
desires and anxieties, and who makes people rise above desires and anxieties.
But one who is amassing wealth by hriving blessing and curses and making
property, he is not a man of God. He is a householder and has opened a
shop in desolation.
The world is in the forgetfulness ofthe Lord, and that is why true devotion
is not there, love is not there, life is not there, there is no purity and truth.
Without the Lord's Name, nobody is in peace and there is no happiness
without Name. Discipleships that are for showingyour numbers or for making
money, you discard those. Remain without desires and keep yourselfdetached.
See to the inner feeling of happiness. Keep your inner self in the incessant
remembrance of the Lord, and excepting this love, consider all desires and
actions as bondage. Then you are in real peace.
A man in peace hrives peace to others and frees the bondage of the
bonded. He is always showering love and grace on others.
Then the Guru blessed Geega. When Geega got the blessings of the
Guru, he felt the sentimental relations illusory. The desire for which he ran
after the saint became illusory. What really he should have asked for from the
saint was the Lord's Name. That he never asked for.
Now, he realized his folly and fell at the Guru's feet and asked for salvation.
The Guru blessed him with the Lord's Name. His wife and children were
also blessed with the Lord's Name.
The saint was blessed with the Lord's Name and he became a true saint.
Now, it was evening and Roopa was impatient that the true Guru should
have something to eat. So, again he prayed to him.
The Guru ordered that food be served to everybody.
He said to Hamza Ghaus: You stay here and sing the praises of the Lord
and recite the Lord's Name and get salvation..
Hamza Ghaus stayed there the restof his life.
