At the Achal Watala fair the Guru rid Punjab from the influence of sidhas for all times to come and then he moved towards Multan. When the Hindu saints and Muslim priests came to know, then they felt un-easy. The Hindu saints and Muslim priests gave wide publicity by word of mouth and decided to assemble in the evening at one point and decide the future course of action to be taken to keep Guru Nanak away.
When everybody got together to ponder, then Sehju who was a clever pandit said: We should send a bowl of milk full up to the brim. It is known than he is without desires. He will understand the meaning and himself go away. If he stays here in greed, then we will get together and put him into trouble.
Accordingly, they selected a couple of saints who went and kept the bowl of milk in front of the Guru.
On seeing the gift of bowl of milk from the saints, Guru Nanak laughed at the milk. He took a jasmine flower and placed it softly on the milk.
The beautiful flower blossomed on the milk.
In this way, the Guru sent a message to the saints that his coming here was like a flower that does not cause trouble or suffering to anyone.
The Lord is without enmity. Saints should be without enmity. Everybody should love each other.
Then the saints, Bahawal Haq, Shah Sharaf Abdul Qadir, Rattan Nath, Jogesh Sehju and many others came and fell at the Guru's feet Other prominent persons also came and assembled.
The Guru welcomed everyone with love.
The Guru said: Everybody should live in this world but with mind detached. Like, the lotus lives in muddy water but is not affected by it.
One can swim this worldly ocean by awakening our mind with the recitation of the Lord's Name with love.
The saints understood the meaning of what the Guru said. They also realized that the Guru's mind is detached from the world like the jasmine flower and milk.
Then the Guru sang a divine song that meant
Everybody says that he is religious but everybody is entangled in worldly desires.
The Lord is present here, there, everywhere, inside the body and outside in nature. He reveals Himself in his Name.
Recitation of the Lord's Name with love is the true path. Everybody's mind felt elevation and ecstasy.
The true Guru blessed the Lord's Name to everyone. Their ego was gone and they felt the sensation of the Lord in their mind, heart and body.
Everybody realized that Guru Nanak is a prophet and he is the giver of the life-giving sensation that they have got now. He has blessed a priceless treasure.
In this way, after blessing the saints and priests of Multan, the Guru departed.
