Then, the Guru moved ahead. He came across a big forest and sat there. Soon, there came a wild dust storm. The trees flew. Then, Mardana got frightened and said: Oh! Where have we come? This storm will kill us. The Guru said: O Mardana, don't be afraid.
Then, Mardana said: In my life, I have never seen such a storm. It is going to take my life.
Soon, a fire could be seen on all four sides, smoke rose high all around.
Then, Mardana lay down and covered his face and said: I am dying.
Now, the rain came in torrents. But it was a little away from where the Guru was sitting. The shower did not fall on the Guru.
Then, the Guru said: O Mardana, muster courage. Get up and play the rebeck.
Then, Mardana got up, played the rebeck and the Guru sang a divine song.
Then, a demon came. It was tall up to the sky. It became smaller and smaller as it came near. Then, it assumed the form of a man. He stood with folded hands.
The Guru asked: Well! Who are you?
He said: Don't you know me? I am Un-enlightened (Kalyug). I have come to meet you. You are the prime messenger of the Lord.
He bowed to the Guru and said: Give me some service to do for you. The Guru asked: What service can you do?
He replied: If you order, I shall bring diamonds, pearls, gems and fragrances and put them at your feet.
The Guru said: I do not wish these, lest I may forget the Lord.
Then, he said: I can bring fairies from the heavens.
The Guru said: I do not wish these, lest I may forget the Lord.
Then, he said: I can bring supernatural powers.
The Guru said: I do not wish these, lest I may forget the Lord.
Then, he said: I can bring a kingdom.
The Guru said: I do not wish this, lest I may forget the Lord.
Then, he fell at Guru's feet and went away.
Say: 'O Lord', 'O Lord'.
