The dust from the feet of Guru ji is like the pollen from the Lotus. It is the supreme. My mind is like a bee on top of this pollen. I say the Katha with love now.
Bhai Bala ji speaks:
Listen Guru Angad Dev ji, listen to the Katha which give the divine virtues. The ears are not satiated listening to this Amrit Katha. You are on the Ghaddi of Guru Nanak Dev ji and are the same as him. You are Guru Nanak Dev ji. You have all of the powers but keep them hidden. You are listening like you don't know anything but in fact you are omniscient and know the past, present and future. You know what is hidden and evident. You are like an actor putting on a show. You are one light going through 10 roles. You never showed off that you are the Parmeshwar. You show yourself as a Bhagat doing the Bhagti of Parmeshwar. The actor never shows his previous roles, or talks about them. The role he plays, he acts the part. That is what you do. You know all your roles like the actor.
Sri Bala Sandhur Vaach..
In Ahmnabad, the news spread. The Katha has been stated of what happened there. Now, I will tell you what happened in Talwandi. Listen to the Katha oh Compassionate One. I meditate on Guru Nanak Dev ji and tell you. I first came to Talwandi. Somebody told Pitha Kalu ji about my arrival. Pitha ji ran to my home and asked how I was. I told him how Bebe Nanaki ji was and then told him Guru Nanak Dev ji's state: "he stayed in the Vein River for 3 days. He then came out and quit his work as the Modi. He gave all of his stock away along with the money. He had people loot his shop. The Navaab balanced the books in fear. When the accounting was done, Guru ji was in a profit of 760 Rajitpuns. Half of it, Baba Moola ji took by going to the Navaab. Sri Chand ji stayed in Sultanpur. Baba Mool Chand ji took Mata Sulakhani ji and Baba Lakhmi Das to his home."
I then told him the Katha of the Maseed. I told Pitha Kalu ji: "Sri Nanak ji is the Avatar of Hari, born in your family. Your family is blessed and illuminated. Sri Nanak ji stays in the jungles of Sultanpur. He sometimes comes to his sister's home." Pitha Kalu ji heard this and got angry. He fought with me. He said: "Nanak earned a lot of money. Bala, you didn't say anything to him. He lost all of his wealth. His work as the Modi was good. He made a lot of money when he balanced the books. Bala, you had him lose the money. You joined him and gave the money to Fakirs. You left him with the Fakirs. You tell me my family is blessed? You came to your home in joy but left him there with the Fakirs. You both lost all of the money. I told you to gather the money. You didn't save anything. Everything was given away. You were both the same. You ate and spend openly. You had no shortage of money. You didn't want to save it." I then said to Pitha Kalu ji: "you can ask your daughter and son-in-law. You are fighting with me without knowing anything. Ask your daughter what the whole story is. Then you can accuse me. For many years I lost my own earnings of my fields by staying with Guru Nanak Dev ji. Everyone knows this. I left my own work. I stayed with your son for many years. I have no greed for money. I wish to have my life blessed. I want to stay with him. Why do you fight with me? Ask your daughter everything." Baba Kalu ji then left my home.
After some time, Bhai Mardana ji came to Talwandi. He met his family with joy. Baba Kalu ji called Bhai Mardana ji to him. He asked him: "tell me where Nanak ji is. Tell me how he is. Has he gone crazy or is he well?" Bhai Mardana ji said: "listen Sire, I will tell you about him. You should not think about anything. He has blessed the whole family. He is the supreme form of the Parmeshwar, unreachable by anyone. He took on a body and came to your home. The people of Kaliyuga are unwise. He will save them from the Jumms. Nobody knows his greatness. His ways are amazing. There is no Peer or king like him. He has kept his unlimited powers hidden. He is in Ahmnabad now. I was with him. He is staying with a servant. I took leave and came home. I will meet my family and go back to him." Bhai Kalu ji heard this and got angry. He didn't know the truth of his son. He said to Bhai Mardana ji: "what are you saying? You say foolish things you foolish Doom! You are telling me that my son is the Avatar who has ruined my home! I have figured out that he is of no use to me anymore! He has now become a Fakir." Baba Kalyaan ji shed tears from his eyes as he said this. He was without hope, thinking about his son.
Pitha Kalu ji went to Rai Bhullaar ji and said: "Mardana brought the news of Nanak ji." Rai Bhullaar was happy. He called Bhai Mardana ji to ask about Guru Nanak Dev ji. He asked him: "tell me about Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji. What tasks did he do? What form has he taken on? Why did you leave him?" Baba Mardana ji said: "listen Rai ji, Guru Nanak Dev ji is the form of Khuddah. What praise can I do of him? There is no one equal to him. He is not like other people. The way people work, he doesn't. He is the Peer of Peers. He is the Meer of Meers. He is unaffected by hunger, thirst or pain. He is all-powerful and can do what he wishes." Rai Bhullaar ji said: "you are great! You said his glory, as it is. I am old now, Mardana. Listen to me: how can I meet Guru Nanak ji? His face is the mine of compassion. I am like the Chakor who wishes to see the moon. His Darshan is like the full moon. I am like the Chatrik looking for the Swanti Drop. I am the bee; he is the lotus. I am looking for the smell. Mardana, do my task and I will be indebted to you forever. I won't forget your favour. I wish to have his Darshan. Do this favour for me. I wish to see him once. It is like a pauper getting the paras; like a sick person cured." Baba Mardana ji said: "Rai ji, your task, why wouldn't I help you? I received many joys from your grace. Guru Nanak Dev ji’s wish is not in my hand though. It's up to him if he comes or not. If you wish to see him, call Bala form his home. Have him go with me. The two of us will go with joy and request Guru Nanak Dev ji on your behalf. We will tell him your request. When he hears your message, he will come for sure. He is in Ahmnabad right now. We will go quickly." Rai Bhullaar ji got happy and accepted his request: "you speak the truth Mardana." Listen Guru Angad Dev ji, oh Giver of Mukti: a person was sent to me. I was called to Rai Bhullar ji.
When I came to Rai Bhullar ji's home, I was told: "do my task as Guru Nanak Dev ji loves you: go with Mardana and request Guru Nanak ji to come here. Bless me. If he doesn't come, request him by holding his feet. Tell him: "come one time to see Rai Bhullaar." I said to Rai Bhullaar ji: "I will go a hundred times by your command. I know that you love Guru Nanak ji a lot. He will surely come when we ask him. He is the lover of his Bhagats. This is his way. Thinking of him, the curtains of doubt are lifted. You think of him a lot. The friend of the weak, he is the Master of the universe." Rai Bhullaar ji was happy. He said: "bring him here quickly. The Khuddah will bless you. This will be a favour for me."
Both of us got ready to go to Ahmnabad. We didn't delay. We came to Ahmnabad soon. Where the Destroyer of Sins was sitting, we bowed to his feet. He said to us: "may Kartar remain in your mind." He respected us and said: "is the Rai well?" I heard this and said with patience: "you have made everyone well. The Rai has requested you to come. He bows with his both hands folded. He wishes to see you with humility. He is like the lotus without the sun. He is wilting without you. Complete his wish please. He has love for your lotus feet. Just as the seashell floats on the ocean; once it gets the Swanti drop, a pearl develops in the seashell and it goes to the bottom of the ocean; in this way you should fulfill your promise towards your Bhagats. Come and give him your Darshan once." Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji said: "Pitha ji will fight with me if I go but it is important to meet the Rai." The one who knows all thoughts, was thinking himself. He said: "what should I do? I need to see Rai Bhullaar ji." I said to him: "Rai Bhullar ji has said: "if I had strength, I would have come with my head to the ground. I am old and weak now. I can't see well anymore. He is not in front of my eyes. I wish for him to gift me with his Darshan. I want him to make my life a success. Just as a river is useless without water; as the dark night is useless without the moonlight; just as a wife is without support, without her husband; in the same way, my body is useless without you." Guru ji said: "what Rai Bhullaar ji said, I have a burden on my head. Let's go and remove this burden of love." Guru ji said to Bhai Laalo ji: "there is another one like you in Talwandi. He loves me. He wishes to see me from his heart. He wants to see me. He sent these two as messengers with his message. He spoke with deep love. I need to go. It's important. Give me leave so I may go to him quickly." Bhai Laalo ji said: "it has not been a month yet. Why are you leaving the poor me? Did I make a mistake in your Seva? Why are you sad towards me? Maybe I didn't do your Seva well. I am poor. I don't have money, Gurudev ji. That's why you are leaving early. I always wish for your Seva." Guru Nanak Dev ji said: "I stayed in your home for 25 days. The 5 days more I need to stay; I will come back when the Kartar commands it." After saying this, the Home of Virtues left from Bhai Laalo ji's home. Bhai Laalo ji bowed to Guru ji's feet.
The Cloud of Bliss slowly walked towards Talwandi. He was the Giver of Mukti to his servants. He spent 7 nights on the way. We soon came close to Talwandi. Guru ji sat outside of the city, near the well of Chander Bhaan ji. (Baba Chander Bhaan ji was Bhai Bala ji's father.) The Home of Joy sat near the well. Baba Mardana ji sat in front of Guru ji. I sat behind the home of Compassion. Satguru ji sat in the middle.
