GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART -"
With such an association, it should be that everyone is benefited. But in
these associations sometimes selfishness comes. When one person is selfish,
he is like an animal. He is openly pitiless. Similarly, a united population in
one country is openly pitiless to population in other countries.
Here, the king of handsomeness laid the foundation of an association in a
gurdwara. He gave light from the divine scripture and the love sensation shot
by the arrows of divine music.
o friends, understand the meaning of the divine scripture and act on it.
The divine scripture tells you not to be selfish. It tells you regarding the
Lord's court and h'Uides you to do good deeds and remember the Lord in this
life only. It h'1ves you happiness in this life and the next world too.
This world is a school where we have to learn to be selfless, to love

great-grandsons should accompany the procession.
Similarly, he should live in this way and make money. Like, a fish catcher,
who knows only how to catch fish, and is happy in that and cannot do anything
more.
But the godly soul, who could move ships in the ocean, the all-powerful
Guru Nanak, saw the suffering of the world and wished to allay the suffering
of the people.
After swimming across, the sea of obstructions, from the parents, friends,
relatives, the duties that the old scriptures specified, then the Guru saw a
second hurdle from the rulers and a third hurdle from the spiritual preachers
ofthat time.
Now, the second thing Guru Nanak had to do was to cross these two
hurdles.
Itis a marvel that Guru Nanak overcame all hurdles, won over all 0 bstac1es
and established an association of true and sincere people who were ready to
