56 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
kinhTS, sadhus, Brahmins, Muslim saints and faqirs but Duni Chand's eyes
never got this coolness and delight that he has got from the Guru's glimpse.
He kept on looking at the Guru's face for quite long. Other people came,
bowed and sat down, but he kept on looking. Then he bowed his head and
for so long it remained bowed down. Then the moment he sat down he got
engrossed in the ecstasy ofthe divine music. Duni Chand has got accumulated
wealth and he is earning also. But he is not a miser, nor he makes anybody
suffer for his gains. He has business acumen and his stars are shining. He is
not in backbiting or a hypocrite. He is a simple family man and a businessman.
But his mind is engrossed in business all the time. It is never free. He was
much impressed by the talk yesterday. So, he has come today. His friends and
business associates who were talking yesterday have also come and are sitting.
When the divine music stopped and people started going, after bowing down
to the Guru, then L>uni Chand came forward and fell at the Guru's feet. The
Guru touched his head and said: Welcome. God bless you.
Duni Chand: 0 Guru, 0 benevolent Guru, be gracious and come to my
house. Tomorrow is the death anniversary of my dad and we have arranged
lunch. You are blessing everyone. Tomorrow, you put your sacred feet in my
house. Be benevolent.
Guru: Gentleman, you give your introduction.
Duni Chand: 0 true Guru. I am your servant. I am a businessman in the
city. Businessmen are crazy. They are always after business. I have heard a lot
of your praise. I have become eager that you make my house sacred.
Guru: We are sadhus. You are a rich man. We live in forests. You live in
mansions.
Duni Chand was quiet. His mind said: Riches are a curse. Something that
I consider is giving happiness, this godly soul considers it to be a dead snake
to be thrown away. What should I do now? I may request once again.
Duni Chand: You are true and hJTeat. Yes hJTeat (lips staggered).
I am nobody. I am like a cobra snake sitting on my wealth. But you are
benevolent and the saviour. The Guru again touched his head and said: Duni
Chand. I will come myself to your house. Don't worry and you need not send
anybody to fetch me. I will come myself. Duni Chand was delighted. He was
happy as if he has added eighth flag to his existing seven flags.

Brahmins of the city had come. The priest was conducting the rituals of the
anniversary. Besides the city sadhus, many other sadhus, ascetics, yogiS, recluses
and many other guests had come. Besides this, there was a large gathering of
