See! Lord's wondrousness. Here is Punjab and its central town Ramdas *Pura near the village Guru-ki-ror where the ninth Guru Ji lives. Again, see the impulse of Guru Ji to exert and show to the people the easy path of 'recitation of the Lord's name with love' to meet the Lord. 'A man of Lord is exuberant to do goodness to others.' See! The impulse has seated Guru Ji on its head and carried him to Assam state to spread the Lord's name there. Guru Nanak Dev Ji had already sprinkled the Lord's name in the state but the seedling of Name was withering. To make it green and blossom again, Guru Ji is ready to go.
He left Punjab. He left his house Anand Bhawan at Anandpur. Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji started eastwards. On the way wherever he stayed he spread the Lord's name.
He visited several pilgrimage centres like the third Guru Ji did. He put people on the simple path of 'recitation of Name' that is like a bridge on a river, took them out of their mistaken beliefs, gave life to people living lifelessly in forgetfulness of the Lord, gave faith to the people that Lord is omnipresent, here, there, everywhere. He is the saviour, giver of nourishment, father and mother. He asked everyone to remember the Lord in every moment and every breath. This is the prime worship. Do good deeds. Do not tell lies. Keep away from vices. Lord is with you.
Travelling further he reached Triveni. Triveni is the confluence of three rivers. Big fairs are held here and people consider it holy to bathe here. He told the people that bathing cleans the body but the mind is not cleansed. It is the Lord's name that cleanses the mind and the mind becomes crystal. Then the Lord's name settles in the mind and the mind is elevated.
Travelling further, he reached Patna town. Uncle Phagu and many more devotees of Guru Ji lived here. They prayed that he should stay at Patna for some time.
Out of love for the congregation he decided to stay on at Patna.
Budha was born in this state. He did not talk about the fountain of goodness but preached only goodness. So, the need was to quench the thirst that the Lord seekers have for the Lord.
Now this state shall have the privilege of the birth of a prophet who understands goodness but has also realized the fountain of goodness, the source from where goodness emanates. He shall not say that there is curtain after curtain. Instead he shall say: See the Lord, omnipresent, here, there, everywhere, close to you, absolutely close to you, all pervading. A prophet who will not only say the command but also say: Without the Lord's name, everything else is a ritual of mistaken belief.
This state shall have the privilege that the biggest prophet of the world, the biggest giver of salvation, the strongest warrior, the biggest giver of freedom, the biggest prophet who transformed the mind of humans from animal to man and from man to saint, Guru-incarnation, poet, intellectual, diplomat, army commander, family man, saint, yogi, ascetic, preacher, acted on what he said, is born here.
This is why Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, the embodiment of virtues stayed here for some time. Then he left his family here and travelled to Assam. Here only the fortunate month of December arrived. Already since seven centuries the months of December arrived but the tyranny and oppression always remained.
But now! What a fortunate December has arrived? It shall bring the eradicator of suffering from heaven to earth.
It is the fortunate month of December. When the sacred feet arrive, vices run away. See they are running very fast. Sacredness will now prevail.
One day arrived. It was the seventh day of the Indian calendar.
On this day early in the morning, 'Guru Ji with the Plume5, 'Master of Spirituality and Sword', Magnificent Guru Gobind Singh Ji was born in the house of Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji, saviour and his 'Picture of sacredness' wife 'Mother Gujriji'.
Prophets are born for the salvation of people on earth. When there is extreme tyranny on earth, then a saviour comes from the Spiritual unseen world. But this time the Master saviour came and not that he came once and went away, he adopted ten incarnations. Now this shall he the tenth incarnation
of the same Master saviour. When the Master saviour from the Spiritual world comes to earth, then it is natural that some Spiritual wonders shall happen and the Spiritual saints on earth shall be influenced.
One saint Bheekan Shah intuitively visualized the birth of a prophet at Patna and headed towards Patna. He went to the Guru-house and prayed that he be allowed to have a glimpse of the Prince-Guru Ji.
In this house Spiritual men of God were welcome and respected as a dealer of silver and gold is welcome and respected in a jeweller's house. The maid brought the Prince-Guru Ji in her lap and the saint made his forehead sacred by touching it to the Prince-Guru Ji's feet.
Being in a human body sometimes doubts arise even in holy people. A doubt arose in the saint's mind that let me see whether he is bom for Hindus or for Muslims. To test the same he took two bowls. One he filled with milk and another with water, with intention in mind that if he throws away milk then he shall be Muslim and if he throws away water then he shall be Hindu. But the miraculous child pushed both with his foot simultaneously. See the water and milk both mixed with each other and became one. It meant that the ego of Muslims and the caste system of Hindus shall both go and it will be one 'Ideal Man'. The love of milk and water is well known.
In this way Hindus and Muslims shall love each other.
If you boil milk then the water dries up. It does not let the milk bum. The milk in turn sees the suffering of his beloved, swells and overflows on the fire and extinguishes it. While swelling, if water is mixed in it, then it becomes happy and goes back
The saint understood that this prophet of love will bestow humility to both so that they come to love each other.
Seeing this, his regard for fjie Prince-Guru Ji swelled. He thought that at least the suffering humanity will benefit. The saint got much satisfaction and then he bowed down and went away.
The saint did not live long otherwise he would have witnessed that this Lord's blessed meditative removed the 'I and mine' i.e. ego from men and filled their minds with the spirit of sacrifice and 'do goodness' to humanity.
How he created the nectar and finished the caste system and opened the gate for everyone to become 'Ideal Men'. How he gave the Lord's name to everyone and elevated their mind. How he transformed men from animal to man and from man to saint. How Hindus became 'Ideal Men'. How Muslims
like Budhu Shah Ji joined the fraternity of Ideal Men and sacrificed his sons for the sake of humanity. How the country got freedom. How the work got true religiousness.
