48 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - "
Duni Chand: When the elephant became alive, then the entire city must
have flocked there.
Dilbagh Rai: What else? Even Ibrahim Lodhi himself came. He was
delighted to have his glimpse and asked: 0 saint, have you made this elephant
alive?
The Guru said: It is the Lord who commands births and deaths. Saints
can pray. Grace is His. Then the king said: Ifthe Lord listens to the prayers of
the saints, and is hTfacious, then you pray that this elephant should die. Then
the Guru said: It is the Lord who commands births and deaths. If he wishes
then death can come in no time. 0 Brother! He had just finished saying this
that the elephant lay flat on the hTfound dead. The king was bewildered. He
said: You make him alive again. Then the Guru said: a King, if you put iron
in fire, then it becomes hot. You cannot touch it. Even a slight touch will burn
the hand, but if you pick up a burning coal for a moment and throw it away,
then your hand does not get burnt. But no swiftness will save the hand from
burning if you touch it with iron that is hot. Similarly, the saints are dyed in
His love. They can change what the Lord has done but the Lord will not
change what the saints have done. The king said: 0 saint you are immersed in
the love of the Lord. I have understood what you have said. For the love of
His saints the Lord accepts if a saint in hTface interferes in what He has done
but for the same love when the saint has done something, He does not nullify
that. It is wonderful. You are hTfeat. You accept some offering from me. The
Guru replied: 0 King, I do not have a desire for riches that is vexing even the
kings. I am detached from that desire. Yes, I do have a desire, but that is of
the Lord. I am dyed in His love day and night. I live on His support. I walk
and roam with Him. His Name is my eating and drinking. But still I have a
sweet, sweet and loving, loving hunger for Him. This hunger makes you
satiated from worldly desires. And keeps you in exuberance in craving for the
glimpse ofthe Lord. Realizing the spiritual strength and fearless nature of the
Guru, he bowed in reverence.
Sansar Chand: Then have you heard another story?
Duni Chand: Which story?
Sansar Chand: About Panipat.
Duni Chand: No,do tell.
Sansar Chand: You must be knowing that Abu Ali Qalander who is also
called Shah Sharaf, was a disciple of Khwaja Qutubudin, a saint of Delhi. He
travelled in India and abroad in the company ofShamas Tabrez and Maulana
Jalaludin Rumi and later settled in Panipat. His disciple is there on his third
seat these days. He is a Mohammedan but they say he has done meditation
