42 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II Mian Mitha (a little ashamed): What did you say? Guru Nanak: The prophets are all his creation. All the prophets, saints, faqirs, devotees, pandits, sadhus are all created by the 'One'. He can see everyone but nobody can see Him. Everything is His creation. He is the Creator and the life-giver. He is the almighty 'One'. If He is two, then you only prove, how can there be two creators? Mian Mitha was perplexed. He had no reply to give. He could not say that the prophet is the creator of the world. So he changed the course of discussion and said: How can a Hindu go to heaven? The body of a Hindu is burnt and becomes ash. But in the case of Muslims, when the prophet recommends, then the bodies of Muslims that are lying in safe custody of the earth will come out of the earth and go to heaven. But the bodies of Hindus become ash and that ash also goes in to the rivers and reaches the sea. How can it become a body again? So, the Hindus will remain in hell. Guru Nanak smiled and said: The body going to heaven is an old myth that the old Arabs nurtured in their minds. They thought that the body is the heaven and they considered death as a punishment to the body for its deeds. The body waking up again on the recommendation of the prophet, they considered as God's grace. From this, it is evident that they had no knowledge of the soul. The soul does not become ash either by burying the body in the earth or by burning the body in fire. But if on the recommendation of the prophet, the body can be made alive from the earth, then it can be made alive from the ash also. And if you say that the burning of the body is hell, then even the bodies of Muslims are burnt. Mian Mitha (astonishingly): How? Guru Nanak: Sheikh, listen, the earth of the old burials becomes clay. With time, the SihTIlS of the burials also disappear. The potters are always in search of clay. Mostly, they get clay from the old burials. They make moulds of bricks and then they put them in a furnace. In that furnace the earth of Muslims also bums. Ifby burning the bodies, one goes to hell, then even the bodies of Muslims are burning in this way. So, when you talk of burning, then the bodies of both Hindus and Muslims are burning. But Sheikh, don't get panicky. Why do you let your mind interfere in God's ways? If you say when a body is burnt, then the Lord's grace will not help. Then you see, even the bodies of Muslims are burnt. Then like the Hindus, one has to pity the Muslims also. a Sheikh, where are you stuck? When the soul has left the body, then what remains is earth. Whether that earth is burnt or buried, it becomes earth. Page 52 www.sikhbookclub.com
GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART·" 43 The soul that was in the body of both Hindus and Muslims goes away and according to the deeds done, goes into comforts or suffering. Those who were in recitation of Name, they reached the Lord's palace with the light of the Name. You are so intellectual, then why are you burying your living mind in the hTfave of narrow-mindedness? Mian Mitha's mind came out from some hJTip, some suffocation. Oh ho! Guru Nanak has opened my closed eyes. What he has told is true. Why did I not realize it before? This only is imprisonment. Our mind ties a chain around itself and binds it. My disciple said rightly yesterday that Guru Nanak tells something straightforward, simple and true, that on listening one realizes and is awakened. He is a real saint, a godly soul. I should clear my misgivings. In this thinking, he asked: 0 Nanak Guru, our mind is dirty with hTfeed. It does not go in one direction. It keeps wandering in desires.' How to tum it towards the Lord? Deception does not work on that path. Force cannot work on that path. You have said that Name is the light on the path of the Lord. Which is the oil that will keep the wick of Name burning and hJiving light? Name is recitation. If there is no oil in recitation, how will the wick of Name bum without oil? Then the Guru said: The oil is the love of the Lord. When you recite the Lord's Name with love, the Name will settle in your mind and body and it will hJive a sensation of the presence of the Lord in your mind and body will be filled with ecstasy. Then you will see the Lord inside your body and outside in nature. You l will be in the incessant remembrance of the Lord that will hJive rapture. Think the world as perishable. Do goocL"less to others, speak the truth, remain in the love of the Lord and do service to the people. Then the Sheikh said: What scripture should one read? Should one read the Hindu scripture or the Muslim Koran? You have told us to do kind deeds. Can one get salvation by doing kind deeds? Is it possible to do all kind deeds? Then the Guru said: The topmost kind deed is 'the Lord's Name'. Name is the melody. Accompaniment is 'sinhJing the praises of the Lord'. All the goodness is in the Lord. We have no goodness in us. But sinhJing the praises ofthe Lord is accompaniment ofName. Do the good deeds ofprayer, Name, reading ofthe scripture and recite the Lord's Name with love. Get dyed in the Lord's Name. Without the Lord's Name, people do deeds, like prayers, Namaz and reading the scripture in the name of the command, but in actual practice they are stuck in vices, cruelty, grabbing and desires. Sheikh: You are right. Good deeds are essential to nurture the Name in the mind and body. You had said that He is the only 'One'. There is no Page 53 www.sikhbookclub.com

The soul that was in the body of both Hindus and Muslims goes away<br />
and according to the deeds done, goes into <strong>com</strong>forts or suffering. Those who<br />
were in recitation of Name, they reached the Lord's palace with the light of<br />
the Name. You are so intellectual, then why are you burying your living mind<br />
in the hTfave of narrow-mindedness?<br />
Mian Mitha's mind came out from some hJTip, some suffocation. Oh ho!<br />
<strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong> has opened my closed eyes. What he has told is true. Why did I<br />
not realize it before? This only is imprisonment. Our mind ties a chain around<br />
itself and binds it. My disciple said rightly yesterday that <strong>Guru</strong> <strong>Nanak</strong> tells<br />
