The words of Sri Guru ji are like the Chooran which destroys the ego illness. I bow to the words. To cross the ocean of pain, Guru ji made the bridge of praises of Prabhoo. Singing the praises, the brightly coloured ego of the body is discarded. Keertan is a trusted bridge by which both poor and rich can cross. They can know their true form by crossing this bridge. The Devatas of Devs serve the feet of the powerful Peer Guru Baba of the world. The foolish unwise people in Kaliyuga were poor. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji gave them the gem of Har’s Name. The ones who do the Simran, their ego of their body is discarded. The Gyaan illuminates in their hearts all of a sudden. They then discard the items of the world, seeing them as garbage. They discard their pleasures and pain. The ocean of virtues comes in to the world, taking on a human body as the powerful peer Guru Baba Nanak Dev ji.
Sri Bala Sandhur Vaach..
Sri Kartaar Purakh ji destroys the pain and keeps the Bhagats happy. Guru ji took leave from Akaal Purakh from Sach Khand. The Guru of the World, who gives joy to his Sikhs; his history, listen Guru Angad Dev ji. He came to us in Dhruv’s dimension after leaving Sach Khand. He met us in the radiant dimension. When Guru ji came, Dhruv ji bowed to Guru ji and met him with love. Dhruv ji asked Guru ji: “where no one is able to go, tell us the symbols of Sach Khand. How did you see the infinite Prabhoo? What colour and form is he? You did his Darshan; nobody has ever been able to do this. Nobody has gone to Sach Khand with their humanly body.” Guru Nanak Dev ji said: “oh great Bhagat, listen: he has no colour or form. It can’t be known. He is never in species form. He lives in the focus of his Bhagats, with love. To show his Bhagats, according to their understanding, his colour is Shyam. Billions of suns and moons illuminate there. Brahma and the others cannot see the end. He is more beautiful than millions of Kamadevas. His nails are more beautiful. I cannot praise them enough. What can I say? There is no one equal to him. Millions of galaxies are in his body. Just as the Sequoia tree is huge, it has many leaves; he is infinite. He can’t be heard or talked about. He is the master of all the universes. He is the light in every heart. He is untouched by everything. He provides for all.” Dhruv ji was happy to hear this. He said: “you are the form of the formless Nirankar. I wholeheartedly believe that you are the same form. I am fortunate that I saw you. You gave the wisdom of the Naam in Kaliyuga. The ones who are causing conflicts, they are in pain. You can’t tolerate their pain. You came as a human to save them. You are the friend of the poor and compassionate towards them. You are the Master of all.” Hearing the praises, Guru ji sat there for a while, seeing Dhruv ji as his servant. Guru ji then said: “listen beloved Dhruv, I wish to leave now. I need to do a lot of tasks on earth. Give me permission to go. Your praises are great.” Dhruv ji heard this and said: “you are the Kartaar. You have Akaal Purakh’s command. You can go where you wish. Your Darshan destroys the sins.” Dhruv ji bowed to Guru ji’s feet. Guru ji bowed as well and left the dimension.
We came a long distance from the Dhruv star. Bhai Mardana ji then said: “these beings living in the space, Dhruv ji’s place is the highest. It is higher than the Bhootal. How much higher is it Sri Prabhoo ji? Small beings like me, who else would show us these places besides you?” Sri Guru ji said: “listen Mardana, if we estimate, Dhruv’s place is about 39 Lakh Zozans (447 light years from earth) from where the human universe ends. Nobody can go higher than his dimension.” Bhai Mardana ji said: “Prabhoo ji, tell me another thing, please don’t get upset at me as I am unwise. You went on ahead from the Dhruv star. How far is Sach Khand from there?” Guru ji said: “listen Mardana, it cannot be quantified nor measured. It can’t be talked about. His Name and place are infinite. Its end cannot be seen. Brahma, Vishnu and Shiva say this too. His Name has no end. Whoever Parmeshwar is compassionate towards, he shows his place to them. The Jeev can see what and how much the Parmeshwar wishes. Nobody can see the end of Akaal Purakh. The Sargun form of Parmeshwar is seen according to one’s intellect. We can only call him “Anant,” without end.” Bhai Mardana ji said: “you are great! You are the ocean of compassion. You always say the truth. I have understood that you and the Nirankaar have no difference. You are the cause and effect of the whole universe. You are timeless. I know that we are going to the human realm again. Where are we going now? How long will we take?” Guru ji said: “we will go to the Bandarga of Soorat and Natka. We will then go to the Bandarga of Machli and Bander.” In this way, Guru ji was joking around. He was going to give peace to his Sikhs.
When we reached Seelaghir, Bhai Mardana ji said: “is there no saint on this beautiful mountain? I don’t see any animal or bird here either. This place seems uninhabited.” Sri Guru ji laughed and said: “you are hungry. Oh fortunate one, why do you ask? There is no human living on this mountain. When you see the next mountain, great Rishis live there. The trees have a lot of fruits there. If you wish, you can have the fruits there and eat them.” Bhai Mardana ji said: “Sri Prabhoo ji, I am not hungry. Since you blessed me, I have been in bliss and contentment. I don’t wish to eat now.”
We all came to the next mountain as we spoke to each other. The trees were great with many fruits. There were many flowers of different colours. Many bees buzzed over the flowers. Many vines were tangled on the trees. Their shades were peaceful. Many types of fruits were on the trees. The branches touched the ground because of the weight of the fruits. If someone wished to eat the fruits, its as if the tree was bending down for them to give them the fruit. One could take the fruit without effort. They can eat and satisfy their hunger. They are giving wisdom to others on how to be generous: “be generous and be humble. You will be happy in both worlds like this.” Cool and pure water flowed in the streams which extinguished the fatigue of the traveller. Dense and cool shades were there. Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji sat under a shade. Sweet and ripe fruits, Bhai Mardana ji pulled and placed them in front of Guru ji. They were sweet and tempting. Guru ji picked half of the fruits and gave them to me. He kept half with himself. Bhai Mardana ji broke many fruits and ate them. He was satiated eating the fruits. He couldn’t stop eating. He was filled to the neck. He took some fruit and tied them to his shirt.
Bhai Mardana ji came and sat near Guru ji. Guru ji laughed and said: “if you are not full, take some of the fruits I have. Eat as much as you want to.” Bhai Mardana ji said: “Sri Prabhoo ji, I am full. My desire to eat is satisfied. If you wish to give me some, then you can give me 1 or 2 with your hands. I will eat them.” Guru ji gave some fruits to Bhai Mardana ji. He ate the fruits quickly. He was already full but he loved to eat. He then said: “these fruits are like Amrit. Who eats them here? Are they going to waste? I don’t see any humans.” Guru ji said: “if there wasn’t anyone to eat them, why would they be growing here? Think about it. The saints of Nirankaar that live here, these fruits are sweet because the saints are here. They eat these fruits and go back to their Samadhi. They do Simran. They aren’t in pain from attachment.” Bhai Mardana ji said: “let’s stay here for some time. Let’s meet the saints and speak to them. You can speak to them.” The Compassionate One laughed and said: “looks like you loved the fruits. You want to stay here because you are greedy to eat the fruit. You will keep me here too.” In this way we all laughed and joked around. The Giver of Joy stayed there for some time.
At that time, a Rikhi came to us. He was drenched in Simran, all the time. He came and said: “nobody was able to come here in their human body. How did you come here? These places are high and dangerous. I am surprised to see you here. Tell me your name.” Sri Guru ji said: “my name is Nanak Nirankari. I travel to get the Darshan of the saints and Bhagats who do Bhagti. I travel for joy.” The Rikhi was happy to hear this. He inquired further: “if your name is Sri Nanak ji, then I bow to your feet.” Guru ji said: “how do you know me? From whom did you hear my name and recognize me?” The great Rikhi said: “my Guru was complete. He said to all of us students once: “in the time of Kaliyuga there will be an Avatar who will make everyone do the Simran of the Naam and destroy hypocrisy. It will be Akaal Purakh and he will illuminate Bhagti in the world. He will spread the supreme Dharma.” As soon as I heard that, I wished to see you. Sri Guru Nanak ji, you are him!” He folded his hands and came close to bow. The Light of the Bedis was sitting down. Guru ji didn’t let the Rikhi bow. He grabbed and hugged his head. Guru ji respected the Rikhi a lot and asked: “what is your name and what is your great Guru’s name?” The Rikhi said: “I am known as Kalyaan and my Guru ji is Seel Sain ji. Having your Darshan, my pain is destroyed. My Japp and Tapp is a success today.” We all met.
The Rikhi went back to his Ashram, where others did a strict Tapp. He was really happy. He told the other Rikhis about Guru ji as well: “Sri Nanak ji, whom we have heard great news of, whom our beloved Guru used to speak about, he was come to us. He sits near the jungle in a radiant way. He has two other men with him. Let’s go and have his Darshan.” Seel Sain and the other Rikhis heard this and quickly got up to see Guru ji. They had dreadlocks matted in a bun over their heads. They wore longotis and Valkal Vasteras. They had Janyows around their necks. Their nails were really long. The radiance of their Tapp was bright on their foreheads. They had white beards. Their skins were dry. They were really thin. They didn’t wish for the pleasures of Svarga or other dimensions. The Gyaan illuminated in their hearts. Their remaining bad karma was destroyed when they did the Darshan of Guru ji.
When they came to see Guru ji, the Giver of Mukti got up. He bowed to the Rikhis just as Raghuvir bowed to Agusta Munni’s Rikhis. The Rikhis bowed to Guru ji, seeing him as the Parmeshwar. They met Guru ji and were really happy. Love sprung in their hearts. They praised Guru ji in many ways. They connected to the feet of Guru ji. They said: “you are the Nirankaar form. You will save many humans in the Sansar. See this place as a place of your servants. You came here and gave us your Darshan. We are blessed seeing you. You are the Master of the humble. You are compassionate. You love the Bhagats; that is your Dharma. The Japp, Tapp and abstinence we have practiced with love, that has been a success today. We received your Darshan today.” Sri Prabhoo ji said: “great is the Satsang where one is drenched in the colour of the Naam. The deep pains of being born and dying are destroyed by doing the Simran of the Satguru’s name. The people of the Satsang say the glories of the Parmeshwar with love. Dhan are those who say the glories of the Parmeshwar and engrain them into their hearts.” After speaking to the Rishis, Guru ji took leave from them. Guru ji bowed to them and the Rikhis bowed to Guru ji. The Rikhis saw this time as a time of success. We all left from there.
Where the Ghiraan Mountain was, where there were beautiful trees, we all came there. There was a beautiful pond there with pure and cool water. We came near the pond. Sri Guru ji sat near the edge of the pond. Bhai Mardana ji spoke then: “are there any Rishis here or not? If there is someone here, you should meet him. It is nice to meet the saints. It is good to meet them. Meeting them and hearing them, the sins are washed away.” Guru ji said: “there is one Rishi here. He will come to see us.” After saying this, the Compassionate One was about to take a bath in the pool.
The Rishi came at that time. He saw Guru ji bathing and said: “the mind, which is still like the Sumer Mountain; just as the fish loves the water and are one; in this same way, the ones who live like this, they do not have a wish to bathe. There is no other use for this. Tell me what your name is.” Guru ji heard this and said: “you are great, Rikhi ji. You are very wise. The feet of the Ikankaar are like a Sarovar. My mind is the fish in that Sarovar. Separating from that Sarovar, Nanak is suffering to death. The waves of that Sarovar, my mind plays there in joy. This body has 9 doors (2 eyes, 2 ears, 2 nostrils, 1 mouth, 1 urethra, 1 anus) which excretes filth all the time. It is purified when touching the water.” When the Rishi heard Guru Nanak Dev ji’s name, he quickly bowed while folding his hands. He said: “you have been compassionate to come here. You are the form of Hari. You had compassion on me and came here to see me. I was unwise. I didn’t know who you were before. I now know who you are after you told me your name. The people of Kaliyuga have dirtied their minds. For this reason, Hari has come as an Avatar. I have heard of your history before. You blessed me with your Darshan. You are my master.” He was filled with love. He became emotional and his throat swelled up. He saw his body as blessed. Guru ji saw the love in the Munni’s heart. He spoke sweet words to the Munni: “the ones who meet you, they aren’t attached to Maya. The Satsangat is the place of bliss. There is nothing else like it.” After saying this, the Pankaj Badan continued on with his travels.
