40 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II
Mardana not only understood the harmony of the wires of his rebeck, he
also understood the harmony ofthe universe. Dyed in the Lord's love Mardana
was singing the divine songs. His fingers were one with the instrument as if
dancing with the instrument. His throat was one with the sweet tunes coming
from the rebeck. His eyes were closed. His body was sitting, present in Guru
Nanak's service. He was immersed in the love ofthe Lord. Without seeing the
daybreak, without seeing the sun rays, he gauged that it was time for people to
do the worldly chores.
It is a natural phenomenon that as the sun rays come, people get busy in
the worldly chores.
He opened his eyes and had a glimpse of his own rising sun Guru Nanak
and said: It is all your wondrousness.
Everybody sitting in the conhJTegation listened to this and opened his
eyes.
Guru Nanak's glimpse. went into everybody's eyes. Everybody bowed
and said: 'Lord is great', 'Lord is hJTeat'.
Then Guru Nanak gave a short discourse. Everybody listened and his
words went deep in everyone's heart.
At this time, Sheikh Mitha reached the garden. He saw, where the
conhJTegation was Sitting. He came there to see who is that Guru Nanak who
has impressed his mentor and his mentor is all praise for him. He saw that in
this sunshine, another sun, brighter than this sun is shining. His ego, doubts,
hatred in his mind shook. Like, when the sun comes, the mist and darkness
cannot stay.
Mian Mitha was a saint but he did have ego in his mind that was there in
most Muslim saints. To be born in India, brought up in India, be an Indian, to
become a Muslim from Hindu, then hatred with Indians and Hindus.
His eyes met Guru Nanak's eyes. He became sober and hJTeeted the
Guru. The Guru made him sit with respect and asked his welfare. Mian Mitha
replied with respect. Then he looked around. Yes, it was true. Intellectuals
were sitting there. His mentor was also there. He bowed towards him. Then
he was quiet for some time but his mind rankled that why such an impressive
godly soul is a Hindu? Why is he not a Muslim?
The sidhas also, when they met Guru Nanak, wished that he should come
into their sect and enhance their prestige.
Similarly, the Muslim saints who were impressed by Guru Nanak thought
that he should be a Muslim and enhance their prestige.
Everybody wishes to own beautiful thinbTS.
