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. III The Guru reached Duni Chand's house. All arrangements were done. All the 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 Page 66 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II relatives, friends and business associates. Butsomethingthatwas mostsurprising was that the prophet who generally kept away from crowds, pomp and show and who was the prophet ofthe prophets and image of the Lord has come to a wealthy Duni Chand's house on the occasion of a feast where there was so much pomp and show. But who knew that everybody else has come with a beggar's mind to get some gain but the godly soul with the frahJTance ofgodly musk has not come for any gain. He will make him free from the hJTeed of money and make him a king ofthe soul. He will give him kingship. So, he is a hriver. Although he has come to a multimillionaire's house, he has come to shower hJTace and to give ecstasy. Guru Nanak is without desires. He is always a briver. He has come to a rich man's house out of love and devotion. This is Guru Nanak's neutrality. Whoever has love, whether rich or poor, whether a king or a destitute, an employee or a businessman, he would bless him with the Lord's name. He has no hatred for the lower caste and no attraction for the upper caste. He has no hatred for the rich who are humble. He has no attraction for people with ego, and stupid people. Where there is love, there is Guru Nanak. Where there is Guru Nanak, there is soul awaken-ness, there is love of the Lord, there is devotion to Name and there is sensation of the sixth sense. Now, the lunch was ready. The Brahmbl.s had food, were briven money and they went away. Other invitees also had food and they went away. Duni Chand became free now and came to the Guru. He had made the Guru sit in a decorated room and the Guru sat immersed in the love of God. Duni Chand: 0 Guru, you had said 'I will have lunch later, after others finished'. Now, the rituals are over. Shall I get lunch for you? I will serve. You eat. I will be delighted. Then the Guru smiled and said: 0 Duni Chand, What was the function in your house today? Duni Chand: 0 true Guru, it is the death anniversary of my father. Guru: Is it over? Duni Chand: The priest has done all the rituals rightly. Guru: What was the purpose ofthis ceremony? Duni Chand: Service to my father. So much food is served. It should reach him. Guru: Then has it reached him? Duni Chand: The priest said, 'your father is satiated. Nobody does this ceremony so well in this Un-enlightened era (Kalyug) as you have celebrated. Your charity has become fruitful. Your father is satiated'. In this way, the Brahmins have blessed.
