GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
towards the Lord. Our education makes us better persons than the un-educated.
An educated person is more sensible. But if he has not controlled his senses
and tries to become clever and makes fun ofreli b >1ousness, piousness, godliness
and saintly living and thinks highly of himself, then he is stupid.
With education he has known the outer mind, the sub-conscious mind
and the intuitive mind. Now he had to go further to the sublime mind. Now,
he says this is the only sweet world and there is nothing beyond because it is
not in his knowledge and he cannot see. Ifhe thinks like that and lives a life of
greed, pride and material gains, then the Guru has called him stupid.
The animal mind cannot go far and see beyond and understand. Like, in
a winter month, some men stayed in a forest and made fire to stay away from
cold. The men were putting more and more wood to keep the fire burning all
night. In the morning the men went away. The monkeys sitting on the trees
carne down and sat near the fire for sometime, but shortly the fire was
extinbJUished because they did not put more wood to keep the fire burning,
although there was a lot of wood lying nearby.
The monkeys did not have the brain and knowledge as to how to kindle a
fire and how to keep it burning. Theirs was the animal mind. But man has got
the intellect to see beyond, but he sticks to his five senses and does not go
beyond. Beyond is the sixth sense. He does not try to feel this sixth sense that
is like a sun inside our body. It is regrettable that even after being educated so
much, man still lives with his animal instincts and spends his entire life in
material gains only. Yes, those who are now, by the bJTace of the Guru, in
search of this sixth sense are listening to the divine songs being sung by
Mardana. Duni Chand has also come in this holy conbJTegation, where there
is no pleasure of the five body senses, where the mind is not enjoying the
passions of the body, but the mind is at peace.
The mind is free from wandering in passions and is relaxed to turn itself
towards the fountain of life, where the body soul is touching the Supreme
soul, so that it gets the life b>1vingsensation of the Supreme soul and the
exuberance and ecstasy that come along with it. Duni Chand, whose caste is
Dhuper, belongs to Lahore. He is the son ofa very rich businessman who has
left a lot of wealth to his son. On the top of his house one could see seven
flags. Each flag indicates a wealth of one million rupees. To be owner of a
wealth of seven million in those days was a very rare richness. This rich man
of fame has today come to the hall of audience of the master detached from
wealth. That hall of audience is the bank of the river, the sky being the roof
and the green bJTass the carpet. He has got the glimpse. His eyes like a bowl
drank the nectar of the glimpse to their full. He had glimpses of many rich
