GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II
After winning over this fort, one is freed from worldly entanglements
forever. The sufferings don't come near you and you get salvation while
living.
o priest, you have done well to come and talk but I suggest you consider
what I tell you:
The elephant eats many kilograms offood every day.
It spreads ash and repents, when it dies.
But the sparrow eats little and if she says, 0 Lord, 0 Lord,
Then she becomes the beloved ofthe Lord.
Muslim priest: That is whyIlsaid that you have become powerless.
Rai: 0 priest, that is why, I pray to the Lord to hJive me strength that I
sacrifice my entire comforts for the sake of my subjects. I don't mean that I
will leave the kingdom and start begging for food. I rather sit in a patched
blanket and be a devotee of the Lord, than be a king full of pride and ego
and in forgetfulness of the Lord. So, I want that I should not become proud
but I should remain in the love of the Lord. I should avail of this opportunity
in life and fulfill my duty to look after my subjects and defend them. You
please tell me, which duty I am not fulfilling. Then I shall put more efforts and
pray to God to hJive me more strength to serve my subjects. The Lord may

after that Hindu saint. I am sorry to say, but this thinking is not desirable.
Rai Bular (tears in his eyes): 0 priest, I am sony, without faith and devotion
you cannot see the truth in its naked form. He is not a Hindu saint. He is a
prophet. He has come from the Lord. He is an image ofthe Lord. Then what
I have said that Talwandi will be renamed after him, is a command of the
Lord. What can you and I do in that? More, I cannot argue, but for the sake
of love that I have for everybody I wish that you have a glimpse of him, so
that you are also blessed.
On listening to this, the priest thought that here the love is boundless. I
have already said enough. IfI say something more that he may not like then
he being the king might even kill me. Although he is saintly in nature but who
can trust the nature of a king, one moment this side, and one moment that
side. In this thinking he just talked generally and went away.
Now Rai sent one servant to Mehta Kalu's house and then sat in longing
and craving for the glimpse of Guru Nanak. He said a verse that meant:
