Sri Guru Gobind Singh ji made Sumer Mountains out of grains of sand; and grains of sands out of mountains. He is the greatest donor. I bow to his feet.
Sri Bala Sandhur Vaach..
The Bharaat came close to the city. Its radiance was great. The Turreeyas, Pattas and Nagaras were played. The people of the city heard the sounds. Just as the peacocks would dance hearing the thundering clouds in the Paavas season, that is how the people of the city felt after hearing the sounds of the instruments. The people came to Bebe Nanaki ji's home to give her their congratulations. The women of the city wore new clothes and jewellery to see the Bharaat. They came in groups. They came to the home to congratulate Bebe Nanaki ji. The women wanted to see the new bride, Mata Sulakhani ji. They said to Bebe Nanaki ji: "we want to see the new bride." The Bharaat came into the Sultanpur city. It was like a cloud of joy entering the city. The bride and groom were at the front. Chacha Lalu Chand ji threw money over them. In this way, the gem of the Bedis came slowly into the house of Bebe Nanaki ji. Bebe Nanaki ji and the other women did the family traditions. She brought her sister-in-law into the home with respect. She had her sit in the middle of the beautiful home. She gave her a sash full of money. Bebe Nanaki ji was very happy. Her heart was happy. Mata Sulakhani ji wore golden jewellery. The women were happy to see this. They gave her their blessings. The Bharaatis all sat in the home. Baba Parmanand ji had his son and daughter-in-law serve the Bharaat. Bhaiya Jai Ram ji had food made. The Bharaat spent 2 nights in Sultanpur.
Pitha Kalu ji then said: "Nanak ji's mother, who is full of love, is eager to see her son and daughter-in-law. She is waiting for us. We need to fulfill her wishes. The whole Bharaat should fulfil her wish. We should go to Talwandi to meet your mother, Nanak ji. Rai Bhullaar ji wishes to meet you too. He told me to have you come to Talwandi after the wedding. You should stay there for a few days and come back here to continue your work. Parmanand ji, what do you think if Nanak ji goes home for a few days?" Bhaiya Jai Ram ji looked towards Guru Nanak Dev ji and spoke quickly to his father-in-law: "Pitha Kalyan ji, if you take him to Talwandi, the work of the Modikhana won't continue. The give-and-take is really busy and hard. Without Nanak ji, nobody else can take care of it. There is a lot of stock in the Modikhana. The account with the Navaab is done by Nanak ji. Who else would do it? Kamal Nain doesn't seem to wish to go either. How can he go home?" Pitha ji heard Bhaiya Jai Ram ji’s words void of love and said: "listen son, your mother wishes to see her daughter-in-law. When she sees you, she will be really happy. Let's go to Talwandi once. You can go where you wish to go, after. You can stay there or here if you want to. Rai Bhullaar loves you a lot. He bowed to you with his two hands folded. If you don't think of my love for you in your heart, don't go for me; but do consider your mother's love and Rai Bhullaar's." They went back and forth for a while. They had a bit of an argument. Baba Moola ji had come as it had been 3 days since the marriage. He came for the love of his daughter. He came to take his daughter back home once, known as the "phera." He came to Bhaiya Jai Ram ji's home and bowed. He heard the argument and said: "Sri Nanak ji should stay in Sultanpur and continue his work. There is no one smarter than him to do the work. He balances the huge ledgers by himself." Baba Parmanand ji was wise. Every wise person in Sultanpur listened to him. He spoke words of love: "listen everyone, I will tell you the tradition. Nanak ji’s mother has only one son. Her son just got married. She wishes to see her son and daughter-in-law. She has been waiting for you. It is like an anxious cow looking for her calf. If she can't meet her son at such a happy time, that would be an unjust act. You are all smart. This would be a bad thing. Mool Chand ji, your daughter hasn't gone to her mother-in-law's home yet. When the mother sees her new daughter-in-law, she will be calm. She can get her blessings for a few days. She can bow to her feet and come back to Sultanpur. Nanak ji doesn’t need to stay in Talwandi since he is the Modi of Sultanpur. Bala can stay here. He can work in the meantime. Nanak ji can come back and continue his work." Hearing Parmanand ji's wise words, everyone agreed and stayed quiet.
Guru Angad Dev ji, after making the decisions, I was called. The Compassionate One said: "I am going to Talwandi. You will stay here and do the work of the Modi. Spend without a doubt. Don't think about anything. I will come back and figure out the accounts." Listen Guru Angad Dev ji, I said to Guru Nanak Dev ji: "the give-and-take is a great and difficult task. I won't be able to handle it. The accounts are too detailed. Only you can do this work. I wish to stay with you all of the time. If there was someone like you, only that person could do the work of the Modi." The Radiant One said words of Amrit: "Bala, you will always be with me. I will be with you your whole life. You have the love of Akaal Purakh in your heart. This will cut the bonds of rebirth. Kartaar will do everything. Don't worry about anything. My beloved friend, just stand in the Modikhana. I will come back after 1 month. Stay happy till then." I heard this and was at peace. I said: "I am your servant. Please be compassionate and give me this boon: I don't ever want to disobey you. I wish to remain faithful and obedient towards you. This is my wish." Guru ji heard this and said: "may your mind remain drenched in the love for the Prabhoo." He then got ready to go to Talwandi. The whole Bharaat went with him.
I did the work of the Modi while Guru ji was gone. The Lodhi Navaab gave me whatever I needed for the expenses. The stock was in abundance. I did the work. Many people came and I did the work easily. I never got tired. I didn't see what happened in Talwandi. I didn't see the joy. I will tell you what I heard. Guru Angad Dev ji, you are the Giver of Joy. I will tell you what happened in Talwandi from what I heard.
Guru ji and the Bharaat came to Talwandi with a lot of instruments playing. The Bharaat looked like an ocean of joy. The people of Talwandi got ready to see the Bharaat. The women wore their jewellery and new clothes. They wore gold. The beautiful women came out, who were radiant. They looked like the fire in the sea. The radiance of the Bharaat was like the moonlight of the full moon. The Bharaat wore jewellery. They looked like stars. The Giver of Mukti was in bliss. His words were Amrit. He was like the full moon. Everyone was eager to see him. The people rejoiced like the waves in the sea. People left the city like the sea leaving the shore. They came out of the city. They saw the Bharaat and couldn't get enough. They were really happy. They looked at Guru ji like the Chakors. They had seen the Joy-Giver after a long time. They were thirsty to see Guru ji. In this way, the Bharaat came and entered the city. Where the square in the market was, Guru ji came there with the Bharaat. Pitha ji and Chacha ji threw money over him. It was raining money. The men and women sang the praises of Guru ji. They came close to the home. Many congratulations were given. Mata Tripta ji was really happy. She wanted to see her son and daughter-in-law.
Guru ji came home. Mata ji threw a lot of money over their heads. She did the family traditions and circumvented water over the heads of her son and daughter-in-law. She said: "son, I am a sacrifice unto you. You have blessed the home and family." Mata Sulakhani ji bowed her head to Mata Tripta ji's feet. Mata Tripta ji gave her a lot of blessings. She hugged her with joy. She saw her face and was happy. The married women of the Bedis came to see Mata Sulakhani ji's face. Her face was pleasant. Their bodies could not contain their joy. Mata ji saw her son and daughter-in-law and noticed how beautiful they were. She took salt and mustard seeds along with grass blades; and threw them over their heads to ward off evil eyes. Guru ji was the destroyer of pain. Guru ji met everyone with love. He respected everyone. He sat in a meeting with his relatives. He spoke with everyone and exchanged pleasantries. They all spoke with love. Guru ji was sweet and calm. He was handsome. Everyone praised him. Guru ji sat for an hour and then got up. Everyone else went home as well.
Pitha Kalu ji said: "son, we should go to Rai Bhullaar ji to meet him." Guru ji went with Chacha Lalu ji and his father to go see Rai Bhullaar ji, where Rai Bhullaar ji's court was. Rai Bhullaar ji was asking about the wedding, when Guru ji arrived. Guru ji destroyed the separation in Rai Bhullaar ji's heart. He was filled with love. He got goosebumps in joy. He got up and saw the moon-like face of Guru ji. He looked at him like a Chakor. He came close and bowed to Guru ji's feet. Guru ji was going to bow to Rai Bhullaar ji, seeing him as the elder. Rai Bhullar ji stopped him and hugged him. He began to shed tears. He asked how Guru ji was and both became emotional. Both knew each other's love. Rai Bhullar ji had Guru ji sit on his bed. Guru ji insisted not to but Rai Bhullaar ji forced him to. Rai Bhullar ji wanted to see Guru ji for a long time. He was drinking his Darshan with his eyes. For a half an hour, nobody said anything. They looked at each other with love. They basked in each other's love. Rai Bhullaar ji then asked about the wedding. His mind was pure. Baba Mardana ji was there too. He said: "oh king, with your blessing, our glory was praised in Sultanpur. Men and women sang the praises in every home. Whatever was needed, Daulat Khan gave. We got a lot of things from him. The Bharaat left from there. The meeting was done with joy. Baba Kalu ji spent a lot of money. There were a lot of celebrations. Both families had a lot of love. They all wanted their praises. I have seen many weddings. Brahmins, Kshatriyas and Vaishyas had many big weddings. No wedding compares to this one. There was so much joy in this wedding." Rai Bhullar ji was happy to hear this. He said: "Shaabaash, Kalu ji!" The gem of the Bedis spent some time there and came home.
Mata Tripta ji made many delicacies. She sat by her son with love. She fed him the food. The Compassionate One ate as much as he wished. He ate and then laid on his soft bed. He slept at around 9 pm. He then woke up at 2:30 am. He slowly bathed and did his daily cleansing routines. He wore beautiful clothes. The sun soon came up. Guru ji sat in his beautiful home. Guru ji sent a servant to call for Pandit Hardyal ji. When Pandit ji came, Guru ji said: "whatever is in your heart, ask for it. Don't hold back. Don’t be shy." Pandit Hardyal ji said: "you are the reason for creation. You are the giver. Whatever knowledge you allowed; I have understood your greatness. I am not like the people of the world. The other people see you as a normal human. You are the cause, the effort and the doer. The whole creation is because of you. You are Parmeshwar, the Parbrahm and the Ancient One. You are the Master and without beginnings. You are Sat (infinite), Chetan (consciousness) and Anand (bliss). You are the giver of Mukti. Your drama gives joy to the Bhagats. Since you gave me the real Janyow, I have been in bliss. I know that you are the Kartaar. My desires have been destroyed. My wishes have been fulfilled. I have seen your drama. I am old now. Oh wise one, give me Jeevan Mukti." Guru ji heard the words of Bhagti and laughed. The Compassionate One said: "oh Brahmin. You are great! You are wise! You discarded the ego and pride of your body. Your age is almost done. You will receive Mukti. You will leave your body easily; like an elephant breaking a flower garland with little effort. You will go to Hari with ease." Guru ji gave him money and blessed him. Pandit ji received the Gyaan and saw his real form. He saw his Aatma. He lost his ego of being the Jeev. He went home with bliss. He received the priceless bliss. His faith was deep now. It was not going to waver.
The Pandha, Vaid and the Maulana came to where the giver of Mukti was sitting. They wanted to see Guru ji with joy. They had been coloured with Satsangat. When they saw the son of Kalu ji, they all came to bow to Guru ji's feet. They saw the infinite and beautiful form. They couldn't say anything due to emotion. Kamal Nain ji had them sit with respect. They exchanged pleasantries. They gathered their patience and spoke to Guru ji by praising him: "the Kaliyuga is an ocean of fire. It is fierce. Who can swim across it? The Jeevs are doing sinful acts and burning in its fire. People can't be saved. Where people are being burnt, the bridge of Naam, you took an Avatar to build it. The ones who don't have good karma have no feet. The unwise are blind. To control the mind and senses, the ones who can't, they are without hands. The ones who are on your bridge, will cross with ease. We always think and wait for you to illuminate the Gyaan in the world. You have hidden your powers. The unwise see you as a human." After speaking such beautiful words, they drank the Darshan of Guru ji with their eyes. They met him with love and then went to their homes. They had Bhagti in their heart and were with peace.
Guru ji's childhood friends came to see Guru ji. They praised Guru ji amongst themselves. They were with love and bliss. They looked at Guru ji without blinking. They spent their whole days with Guru ji as kids. They came to Guru ji everyday now too. They came everyday with a new joy in their hearts. In this way, the master of the world did this drama in Talwandi. He was with joy.
