86 GURU NANAK CHAMATKAR PART - "
These thoughts and the vision were coming to him again and again
alternatively.
Then the Guru looked towards him with graciousness. The veil, that
doesn't go from the mind without the recitation ofName, slipped aside. Mehta
Kalu saw the son as a prophet.
Again, the Guru looked at father with hTfaciousness. The veil of desires
broke and his fears and anxieties vanished. The darkness ofhis mind vanished
and his mind became crystal. His mind got an awaken-ness that he had not
experienced before.
Now he saw, 'we are not father and son'. I am a seeker of the Lord and in
front of me is the saviour who has come from the heavens. The entire seen
and unseen world is at his feet. Then in hTfeat reverence and love he said:
I thought you as a son. You are a prophet, a saviour.
You bless me that I get out ofthe cycle of births and deaths.
You bless me that I get eternal happiness.
I did not know who I was. I was in fears and anxieties.
My mind was never tranquil even for a moment.
It was in sentiment and selfishness.
He realized the state of his mind and had a longing for eternal happiness.
Then the Guru said: Whatever all you see, there is One Lord pervading
everywhere. This is all His creation. He is the life support. Whoever is living
in His presence has got real happiness. Like, when you are in front of a fire
you are warm. Whoever is at a distance from him, in his forgetfulness, is in
suffering. One, who is away from fire, is suffering in cold. Similarly, one who
is away from the Lord is in suffering. We have to remember Him all twentyfour
hours. When the Lord is everywhere, then what friendship and what
enmity? The Lord is present everywhere, then what does the mind fear for?
When He is the sustainer and gives nourishment, then what is the need
for a dark desire for money? When He is present in the house and outside,
then why is the attachment to the house and what is the fear outside?
Mehta Kalu: But 0 dear, we cannot see Him.
Guru Nanak: The Lord is everywhere. Like, there is water in the earth
but is hidden. Similarly, the Lord is present in everybody but hidden. Like,
when you dig a well, then the water is visible. Similarly, a seeker ofLord, with
love and remembrance, can visualize Him.
Like, the river water is flowing by itself and is visible without making any
effort. Similarly, those who are in love and devotion, whose minds have got
awaken-ness, to them, He is visible and felt.
