76 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II Meanwhile, sound of the tapping of the feet of a horse pulling a twowheeler carriage was heard. Rai, who thought that he might be leaving this seen world very shortly, looked back. He gazed and saw BhaiJai Ram coming on a horse. Seeing him, the king of the state, but whom love had made so humble, stood up. When, Jai Ram saw Rai standing, then quickly he came forward and fell first at the feet of Rai and next at the feet of Mehta Kalu. Sister Nanki also got down from the carriage. Rai said loudly: You are our daughter. You are the sister of our respected, beloved. You are our respected daughter. You keep sitting in the carriage. But sister Nanki knew that Rai Bular is a true disciple of Guru Nanak and he is so much attached to him. How could she stop giving respect to him? Hurriedly, she got down from the carriage, walked towards her father and his boss and in a scream and a challenging tone, asked: Has brother come or not? Saying this, she bowed towards her father. But he, qUickly, embraced her, cried and said: 0 daughter, me, entangled in worldly desires. How can I have a glimpse of him? At this time, Rai Bular bowed to sister Nanki. She could not bear this humility of the old Rai, whom Guru Nanak respected and revered as an old man. How could she bear the bowing of his head to her? Hurriedly, she moved back and with tears in her eyes and folded hands said: Uncle, I am your daughter and you are my father. What pull has brought sister Nanki here? Years had passed but sister was never invited to come to the parents' house on the Guru's birthday because the Guru was never here on his birthday. Now, one night she saw in a dream, that brother's birthday is being celebrated in her parents' house at Talwandi. The dream created such deep impression that she left Sultanpur and her lon,ging and hope increased, thatbrother must have arrived, but instead ofhis having arrived, she found everybody in longing and waiting here. As everybody was in longing and waiting, she also joined them in the 10nhTing and waiting. She also heard that Rai has dreamt that the Guru has come to Talwandi. She also saw the restlessness of her mother and today was the first day, when she saw love in her father's heart also. Now, she had an ardent desire that if brother comes, then father in this old age will get salvation. What happiness will it be? In her mind, she prayed: 0 saviour brother, you must come and give us your glimpse. Page 86 www.sikhbookclub.com

GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART-II Now, the sun had risen high. Then Rai said: 0 Mehta,Jai Ram and sister Nanki have travelled. They must be tired. You take them home. I have stopped them on the way in my own thoughts. So, everybody took leave from Rai and reached home. Mother came running to the courtyard. Seeing the daughter, she screamed. She embraced the daughter and wept so much that the neighbors had to come to cool her down. Still, in the embrace ofthe daughter, she said so many words oflonging and craving that even stones would melt. She wept so much that she could not even speak. When, she cooled down a bit, then she said: The world is dark ifI cannot see my son, I do not wish to live ifI cannot see my son. Saying this, and embracing the daughter firmly, she became unconscious. Sister Nariki's heart melted and she prayed with deep love in heart: ogodly soul, mother and: father are old And nobody knows about life, You have blessed the world. Now, you bless them. Thus praying, she saw a smile on her godly brother's face. She opened her eyes and said: Thanks 0 Lord. Thanks 0 Lord. o mother, stop your crying. Godly brother is coming. Forget your sentiments and see him as the image of the Lord. Then you will see your inner self. Then you will see the Lord. You will get salvation. In this way, with some satisfaction, daughter and mother went inside and the maid prepared food. Sister Nanki consoled her mother, but still, her mother while sitting and standing, many times, had tears in her eyes and said: Oh! Beloved. Sometimes she said: Oh! Guru. Sometimes, Oh! Nanak. Sometimes, she saw her father in sadness saying: We have got a son whom the world adores, but we are unfortunate. Everybody respected sister Nanki. Whenever she said that brother is coming, then everybody became sure that he is coming. Now, the Guru's birthday was near. So, the family thought that this time the Guru would be at home on this auspicious day. The mother started preparations for the birthday. Sister Nanki also helped her. Sister Nanki was intuitive. So, in her vision, the Guru's smile indicated that he had listened to her prayer and hTiven a positive reply. Another couple of days passed. One day, Rai was sitting in the garden, in the love of the Lord. He was sitting on the ground. BhaiSaiiada was playing the rebeck and singing divine songs composed by the Guru.
