GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - II 81 courtyard. Mehta Kalu was sleeping wearing a blanket. She shook his feet and said: 0 my master, what should I do? He has not come so far. You get up and see. He might be sleeping under a tree. He might be hiding somewhere. You go and find my dear one. Somebody should be merciful. Wherever he is, you find him and tell him: For the sake of the Lord give a glimpse today. Oh ho! Please tell, what should I do? My heart flies. Oh! He has come. I can listen, 'Mother I have come'. Saying this, she became unconscious again. Mehta Kalu was startled, he got up and sprinkled some water on her face and with tears in eyes said: 0 Lord, you blessed a diamond and now so much waiting and 10nl,Ting? But what can I say? I had even slapped him. It is a punishment for my sin. But you are a son who respects me. You did not mind it. I am bad. I don't blame you. I say to myself: A godly soul came in my house and I pushed him out. Why did my hands not stop? I did not value the hTift that came free. In misconception, I lost the gem. Why did my eyes not open? Why did I not recol,JTIize him properly? I have done a great sin. The punishment for me is that I should writhe like a fish. I should not get his glimpse. But 0 dear, 0 godly soul, 0 what should I say? Please do hTive a glimpse. Else what should I say? How do I know what to say? My heart sinks. Please do come. Everybody says he will come. My death is now near. Let us see who comes first. But if you wish to call me '0 Father', then you will come first. 0 Lord, my heart is sinking now. If there is love and devotion, then he will come. For my rustic heart, who should come? Butyou were born in this rustic house. You yourself were gracious. What qualities were there in us at that time? In the same way, you give a glimpse on your own. Oh ho! My heart sinks. Nanki, Nanki, come child. I am going to pop off. There, dear son is going towards the sky, your mom is going along, they are calling me. I am going. Saying this, he became unconscious and lay down. Nanki was at the terrace. It became evening. She was sitting immersed in the love ofthe Lord. How could she listen to her father? She was 10nl,Ting and craving for the glimpse of her godly brother. She was praying from the core of her heart: 0 brother I am longing and waiting for the day, when your moon-like face will say: 0 sister. O! There comes radiance. The sister's lonh'ing has borne fruit. The godly brother has come. Brother had sown the seedling of remembrance of the Lord in the sister's heart. He has come to see the plant growing. The prayer was from the soul that was immersed in the love of the Lord. Page 91 www.sikhbookclub.com
