Her face is beautiful like the moon; she destroys the bad wisdom; she brings prosperity and progress; She is the form of Ooma (Prabhati), Bani (Sarasvati) and Rama (Lakshmi); I bow to her; the Goddess of Vidya, Gurbani.
Sri Bala Sandhur Vaach..
After a while, Baba Mool Chand ji came to meet his daughter. As soon as he came into the home of his daughter, love overflowed in his heart. Mata Sulakhani ji got up, seeing her father. She began to shed tears. She hugged her father and began to cry. Her pain and love were together. Her clothes were wet by her tears. It was like she was washing her pain away. She had her father sit. She sat with him and began to tell her father the pain she was going through. The tears kept flowing. She was without hope. She took deep breaths as she cried. She said: "listen Pitha ji, who did you marry me off to? He has no worries towards the home. By marrying me off to him, you have drowned me. I must have done some bad deeds in my last birth. He stays out of the house for a month or two and never shows his face in the home. He comes at home like a visitor from a foreign land. He is without any love. The big profit that he makes from the shop, he donates it all to the Fakirs. He doesn't fear anyone. His brother-in-law, sister or friends don't say anything to him. They all fear him. He doesn't do anything that Ghrist people should do. He is opposite to it. This house is for nothing. The Fakirs and Sadhoos is who he wishes to meet. He doesn't care about the home. He doesn't ask if I need anything. Since the day I came, he hasn't respected me. I carry this pain in my heart." Hearing his daughter's painful words, Baba Mool Chand ji began to shed tears. His heart burned with anger. He was regretting his daughter's relationship. Guru Angad Dev ji, Pitha Kalu ji's anger was nothing in front of Baba Moola ji's anger. He was a really angry person. He didn't know the purity and greatness of Sri Guru Nanak ji. Baba Moola ji gave hope to his daughter. He got up in anger and went to Bhaiya Jai Ram ji.
Bhaiya Jai Ram ji was sitting with Guru Nanak Dev ji. Baba Moola ji came, they met him with respect and had him sit. Baba Moola ji said harsh words: "Listen Jai Ram, you are my enemy. We seem to have some enmity from our last births, that's why you put me in this state. This relative of yours meets with Fakirs. I am sure he will become a Fakir one day. This is what he wishes to do. The wise people say that you become like your company. You stay with the type of people that you like. If you already knew about his personality, why did you marry him to my daughter? He makes a lot of money from the shop but gives it all to the Fakirs. My daughter told me this. I must have sinned in my previous births. This is the reason this person is our relative who gives us pain. Since the day my daughter came, he hasn't respected her or loved her. Nobody has told him anything either. My daughter lives humbly in pain. She told me everything." Baba Mool Chand ji spoke harshly and angrily. Baba Jai Ram ji said: "don’t get angry Mehta ji (a term used for respected administrators, as was used to call Mehta Kalu ji). Don't accuse us of wrongdoing. Your daughter has no shortage for anything. The Parmeshwar has given everything to your daughter. She has good clothes, food and jewellery. She has a lot of money. She eats well and spends well. Tell me if there is any shortage. Tell me and I will get it." Bhaiya Jai Ram ji spoke sweetly. Baba Mool Chandi ji calmed down. His anger was extinguished like fire by rain. Bhaiya Jai Ram ji's words were like water. Kamal Nain ji remained quiet. Observing Baba Mool Chand ji as the same level as his father, he didn't say anything to him.
Baba Mool Chand ji stayed with his daughter for 1 day. He gave her hope and blessed her: "you will be happy. Don't worry." He went back home. He told his wife, Mata Chando Rani ji, everything. After a few days, Mata Chando Rani ji came to see her daughter. She hugged her and cried. Mata Sulakhani ji cried as well. She spoke words of pain: "oh Vidhata, why did you make the woman? She is always dependant on others. She takes a birth and stays in worry her whole life." Mata Sulakhani ji then sat down with her mother. She said to her mother: "listen Mata ji to the interesting thing. My husband spends the money he makes at the shop. What can I say? I see him after a month. He sometimes shows his face, otherwise he stays at the shop. He hasn't done anything about his Ghrist responsibilities. He should collect money." Mata Chando Rani ji got angry, hearing this. Her wisdom was wrapped in anger. She went to Bebe Nanaki ji to speak to her.
Mata Chando Rani ji went to Bebe Nanaki ji and asked how she was. She then said: "you don't fear the Parmeshwar. You have made you own rules. You have kept my daughter like a maid. You don't guide your brother at all to see how my daughter is. He spends all of the money on Fakirs and beggars. You have no compassion. My daughter is in pain after marriage. Jai Ram ji requested the relation and now he doesn't guide your brother. Your brother stays in the shop and never comes home. If he does come home, he doesn't say anything. He earns the money but doesn't keep it. He has no fear for anyone." Bebe Nanaki ji heard this and thought: "if a fool gets a gem in their hand, they think it's just a rock. She spoke sweetly: "listen Massi, you are very wise. What can I tell my brother? He doesn't do anything bad. He doesn't meet with thieves to steal. He doesn't gamble nor does he drink alcohol. He doesn't go to prostitutes or other women. He has won his desires. He is not greedy, angry nor is he a cheater. Desires don't come to him even in his dreams. He doesn't do anything wrong for which I need to guide him. If he did, I would say something. I have seen his good personality since he was born. He is calm and serene. He does not have any faults. Not even a little bit. He is calm and full of compassion. He gives clothes and food to the poor. He is a generous person. He can't see anyone in pain. He is the giver of joy. He is like the tree that keeps giving shade and fruit. He is altruistic. The tree takes the fiery sunrays and heat on its head. It stays humble in cold and rain. It gives shade and a place for birds to build their nest. In this way, my brother earns money and gives food to the saints. My brother is the form of Bhagti. The Brahm Gyaan came in a beautiful body. If a person does good deeds, whoever stops him is an unfortunate person. The Vidhatta has rewarded you with a son-in-law like my brother. He has blessed many families. My brother is calm and has destroyed his desires and vices. There is no one more generous than him. His praise has spread that: he is the destroyer of pain. His accounts have never been in the deficit. He made a profit many times in his accounting. You say that your daughter is in pain; tell me, what shortage does she have? How did you determine that she is in pain? She has everything she needs. She has money to spend and food to eat. She has clothes and foods of many kinds. She has beautiful jewellery. Look how much gold she has to wear. She has not one worry of the home. Whatever she wishes for, we can get it for her. You are bothering my brother with false allegations. What will we do with false allegations? Listen Massi about these interesting things. If we argue back with you, just as you did, this would be bad." Mata Chando Rani ji heard this and went quiet. She didn't know what to say. It was like an unwise person staying quiet in front of a Gyaani person. She was embarrassed and came back to her daughter's home.
Mata Chando Rani ji sat down and said to her daughter: "listen daughter, I spoke to your sister-in-law and told her everything. I told her that you are in pain. She spoke true words that made me quiet. I couldn't think of anything to say to her. She says that you have no shortages." Mata Sulakhani ji heard this and said: "listen wise mother: clothes, food and jewellery I have. I have been given everything by my husband. I have no shortages. I tell you the pain of my heart. My husband has never come home with love. He does not speak to me with joy and laughter. Who should I tell my pain to? Who will understand me so my pain goes away? I am in worry, day and night. My heart burns in pain." Hearing the words of her daughter, Mata Chando ji understood what her daughter was implying. She went back to Bebe Nanaki ji and told her.
Bebe Nanaki ji said: "Massi ji listen, your daughter's personality is harsh. When I call her to me, she never comes. If she does come, once in a while, she has anger in heart and argues with me. I stay quiet, seeing her as my Parjai (sister-in-law married to the brother). I spend my time in silence, hoping she will get wiser. She is a from a good Kshatriya family. I don't say anything to her. I give her respect. I want to see her happy. That would make me happy." Mata Chando Rani ji said: "If a husband speaks nicely, even if the wife is without money and clothes, she is still happy and in joy. She would sleep in joy. If you have everything but the husband doesn't speak or give respect; it's like a cloud without rain. Those clouds are useless. My daughter said that he never shows his face in the home. He spends the whole day and night at the shop. If he does come home, he doesn't speak to her. Think about it yourself. What if your husband behaved like this to you?" Bebe Nanaki ji heard this and spoke sweetly: "Massi, you speak truth in every way. Your daughter speaks the truth. I still say that you should tell your daughter to stay humble and earn Seva by serving him. The Great Beings are impressed by Seva. You can get them to do what you want then. The wise people say this. The great beings are impressed by humility. Doing his Seva is never fruitless. I will fold my hands and speak to my brother. I am afraid of him though. You think that I am praising my brother to you for no reason. I don't see him as my brother. I see him as the Parmeshwar. It is Parmeshwar. I believe this. You should trust me, Massi. He is the one who has destroyed his desires. He is the saint who is calm. Whatever he says, becomes true. That's why I fear him. You can go back home in peace. When my brother comes home, I will give him and his wife hope. I will make them come to an understanding." Bebe Nanaki ji spoke sweetly in this way. She calmed the angry Mata Chando Rani ji down. The two spoke with love to each other. Mata Chando Rani ji then came to her daughter.
Mata Chando Rani ji gave hope to your daughter: "your husband is a very good person. He is very generous. He follows the Dharma. You were given a lot of love in our home that's why you don't know how to serve your husband. Be wise and serve your husband. If you make him happy, you can get all the joys you wish for. The women that serve their husband while being obedient, they are happy in this world and in the world hereafter." She gave wisdom to her daughter and stayed in Sultanpur for a few days. She then went back home. Kavi Santokh Singh ji says: "do the Simran of the Guru's feet, Santokh Singh, by which the bonds of the life and death cycle are broken."
