58 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II Guru: Well! He said well and heaved a sigh. He looked towards the sky and then looked towards Duni Chand and said: Listen Duni Chand, the purpose for which you did everything is not served. The Brahmins were satiated, the priests were satiated but your father is not satiated. He is hungry for the last three days. 'A wolf, hunh1TY for the last three days', your father is not satiated. Duni Chand was startled. Is it really so? My father is not satiated even after spending so much and offering so much food? Is he a hunh1TY wolf? Is it so? He remembered that the Guru is intuitive. He will tell the truth only. Then with folded hands, he said: Please, you tell. Where is my father? How is he hunh1TY? Can I meet him or is he beyond my reach? Please be benevolent and tell. Guru: You go towards northwest to the forest near the river. There, you will see one wolf lying hunh1TY. Don't be afraid. There you will see your father standing. He will talk to you also. He will tell you that he is hunh1TY and that the food has not reached him. Then Duni Chand hurriedly got up and went. He reached the spot, but in the forest he could not see anything. Then he looked towards a bush and saw a wolf. He went forward and saw a wolf lying and from its body a white smoke rising. Soon, he saw hands and feet in the smoke and next a figure appeared. When Duni Chand saw intently, then he recognized it was his father only. He bowed to his father and asked: Father, are you satiated or not? Father: Not satiated. Son: The anniversary food has not reached you? Father: No. It has not. Son: Why? Father: 0 son, it is all business in this world. There is no love. Nobody is a true Brahmin. Nobody is a true sadhu. Duni Chand: How did you reach in this state? Father: From birth only, I had no connection with God. The entire life, I spent in earning more and more and I was never satiated. Then I did not find a good saint. Whom I trusted was a fake sadhu in rituals only. He was not in the love of the Lord. After I died, I came to understand that love of the Lord is the prime religion. My mentor had told me: You quit eating fish. I asked him: Will I get salvation like this? He said: Yes, if you act on my words you will get salvation. I trusted him. One day he said: Ifyou eat fish, you will get the next life of a wolf. This also stuck in my mind. My son, when my end was near, then in the neighbour's house fish was being cooked.
