64 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II So, don't be the least afraid. Be happy to see that we can flourish to any extent and reach the Lord's palace. But listen, one should have fear of the Lord also. Like the child has fear and love for his father. Without this fear the child becomes fearless. This fearlessness can incline him towards vices. This fear and love is not a dread that squeezes your mind and heart. It is a sweet fear and love. It makes you love the Lord. The Lord's marvel i.e. this universe is limitless. The Lord who is the creator, He knows all. We cannot understand everything. For us it is sufficient to understand that we have been created by a loving Lord. He is our loving mother and father. To love Him and to hold His finger as a child holds the mother's finger is our happiness. If in a fair, the child let-goes the mother's finger, then he is in distress even in the fair. We should hold' the finger of our mother (the Lord) and live in her presence (presence ofthe Lord). Then the entire world is a fair and happiness. When we are living in the presence ofthe Lord, then it is happiness while living in this world and after death also: IV After saying all this, the saintly figure rose high up as a fihJUre of light. The rays oflight from the rising fihJUre came in Duni Chand's eyes. Rising further up, it vanished. Duni Chand's bewildered eyes closed. He put both his hands on his eyes and sat down. He kept sitting for some time in semi-consciousness. Then he got up. He rubbed his hands on his eyes. All visions had vanished. It was forest and himself. He walked home slowly. On the way, he tried to remember all what had transpired. Then he said to his mind: This Nanak is a real godly soul. Nobody can show such miracles otherwise. He knew that his father is in suffering after death. Oh! We are erring. We write our own destiny. We become what we think all the time. Since I am doing business the whole day, my wife has told me that many times I talk of business in my dreams. In this way, after my death, I will remain in the dust of the markets. Who is to blame? What I do in my entire life, I become that. What is past is past. The --least I should do now is to save the present and future. That saintly fihJUre had said that the godly soul is sitting in your house. Should I fall at his feet? 0 miraculous Guru, how you have shown me the unseen. That is why everybody acknowledges your supremacy. 0 l,JTeat Guru Nanak, 0 great Guru Nanak. I should see you as such. This love thatI have for you should remain. Whatshall I do now? Should I leave the business? There is plenty to eat. Should I go and Page 74 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II live in a forest? Or should I go to Hardwar, Gaya, Benares, Mathura and live there? Should I construct an idol temple? Then I can become a priestthere. But the saintly fit,JUre had said, I should recite the Lord's name with love, not to make anybody suffer, remain in humility and do goodto others. 0 Yes, he had said, I should do what the Guru says. Then why should I worry? Whatever he orders I shall do. I forgot that. 0 hJTeat Guru Nanak, I adore you. Whatever you order I shall do. Why should I worry? The saintly figure had said, "Guru Nanak will show you the light". IfI were enlightened, then I would have known where my dad is and what is in the unseen world. I remained in the dark although my mind was so intelligent in making money. 0 man with intellect and ego. You are still in the dark. Now, I should stop thinking. 0 thoughts go away. My thinking will not reach me anywhere even if I think a million times. I will still be in the dark. The saintly fit,JUre had said thatlight is with the Guru or with the ideal men blessed by the Guru. The Guru is the bestowal oflight. The Ideal men are the bestowal of light and at this time the Guru is sitting in my house. The handsome Guru is sitting in the house ofa wealth-conscious businessman. The prophet has come to bless the people. He is the prophet ofthe prophets. Now, I should reach home quickly as if flying. But what should I do? I should sacrifice myself for him. I have remained in the dark all this life. Now, my eyes have opened. I adore you. 0 Guru Nanak. I will always adore you. You have made me a man from animal. Now, you will make me a saint from man. This is what the saintly figure had said: Guru Nanak turns forms, beasts into humans, and human into saints from man. 0 t,JTeat Guru Nanak. I should fly and tell him, "Let me be at your feet". I should also smear the sacred dust of his feet on my forehead. I should stick to his feet as the dust sticks. I am also dust. While Duni Chand is returning he is thinking. Sometimes he sees the vision in his eyes again and again. On the way, many acquaintances greeted him but he did not even notice them. He was ent,JTossed in his own thoughts till he reached his house. The Guru was sitting in the hall and Mardana was playing a light tune on his rebeck. Inside, Duni Chand's wife and all members of the family were waiting, so that as soon as he comes everybody will have food. When Duni Chand reached his house, he did not go inside. He went straight and fell at the Guru's feet. "You are great. You are great. You are great", he went on saying and held the Guru's feet a,s a child holds the mother's neck. "0 Guru Nanak you bless me that I should not forget you. I should adore you always". Page 75 www.sikhbookclub.com 65
