The Raja heard the truth from Bhai Kalyana ji and got angry. He said to Bhai Kalyana ji: “you will be punished.” He said to his men: “arrest this man and put him in the jail. Convince him to bow to the Thakur and worship it. Otherwise he will be punished in the morning.” Bhai Kalyana ji was arrested and locked up in jail. In the jail, he continued to do Simran.
It was soon morning and the Raja woke up to go to the Mandir, to worship the Thakur. He performed the pooja by offering sandalwood. He drank the Charanamrit and bowed to the Thakur. He said to his men: “bring the foreign person who was locked up yesterday. Punish him in front of me.” His men went and brought Bhai Kalyana ji. They brought him to the Mandir. The Raja said to him: “you look like a Hindu but you called Thakur ji a stone. You shall be punished for this. If you want to be saved you must admit that you had made a mistake and will listen to what we are saying.” Bhai Kalyana ji responded: “my Guru is Guru Arjan Dev ji. I have given my head to him. I do not bow to anyone else. I am in his command. How can I call a stone my Prabhoo?” The Raja got angrier and said: “he is not afraid even a little bit. Punish him severely. Cut off one of his legs and throw him out of our kingdom.” Hearing the Raja’s command, the “chandaal” (executioner) came. Bhai Kalyana ji remembered Guru Arjan Dev ji: “it is now time for you to assist me. You said you will help me before I took your leave. You said: “the Guru will assist you, go now.” Please save me now, oh master. I am under your mercy.” As the executioner came to cut off Bhai Kalyana ji’s leg, the Raja had a seizure and fainted. He was standing one second, and fell the other. He went pale and shivered like a fish out of the water. The people near the Raja picked him up. The Raja was not conscious. The executioner left Bhai Kalyana ji and went to assist the Raja. They forgot about Bhai ji. They brought water and splashed the Raja’s face with it. They fanned him but the Raja did not wake up. The wise people in the court thought about what had just happened. They realised that the foreigner was to have his leg cut off and the Raja fell as soon as the Jalaad (executioner) came to strike the person. “We think this is the doing of the foreigner,” they said. “We should make the foreigner happy and do what he says, if we want to save our Raja.” Everyone heard this and agreed: “yes this is what has happened. There is no other reason. He seems to be a saint.” The ministers folded their hands and said to Bhai Kalyana ji: “you are a saint whom we did not recognize. We have made a mistake in not knowing who you are. We have disrespected you and are embarrassed by it. Please forgive us. Your glory is great, we now know this. Please bless our king and make him better. He is suffering. He is going to die. Please save him. Please help him or else our king will die. He is a good and religious king.”
Everyone went to the Raja’s house. Bhai Kalyana ji said: “Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji is the great Satguru. Become his Sikhs and have faith and devotion in him. He is the master of the Trilok (three worlds). Go to his home and bow to his feet. Everyone should get together and say “Satnam.” Face towards Amritsar and say Satnam. Bow towards that direction and do Ardaas: “Guru Arjan Dev ji, we will come to see you soon. Please make our Raja healthy again.” Bhai Kalyana ji showed them how to do Ardaas. Everyone faced Sri Amritsar and folded their hands. The said: “Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji.” They bowed and said to Bhai Kalyana: “please do Ardaas for us as well.” Bhai Kalyana ji washed his hands and feet. He put a parna around his neck and did the Ardaas: “Sri Guru ji, please protect the Raja. See him as one of your own and save him from pain. He will be in your protection and will be under your command. If he has made a mistake, please forgive him.” He finished the Ardaas and bowed. The Raja began to wake up as soon as the Ardaas was done. He opened his eyes and was positioned upwards by his servants. He said to his men: “take me to my home and leave the foreigner alone. Respect him and give him what he needs. Have him stay in a nice place. Give him food and clothes.” The ministers took the Raja home and served him. The Raja looked like he had been sick for a long time. He was eating very slowly.
In a few days, the Raja was fully cured. He called Bhai Kalyana ji with great respect. He said to him: “where does Satguru ji live? I wish to meet him. He is my Satguru too now. I have given him my head. Take me to him. I want to meet the Master of the Universe.” Bhai Kalyana ji heard the Raja and said: “Satguru ji lives in “Madhur Desh.” He lives in a place called “Guru ka Chak.” This place was gifted to Guru Amardas ji by Emperor Akbar. People from every direction come to visit Guru ji. All their wishes are fulfilled when they see Guru ji. Guru ji is the giver of bhugti and Mukti. Whoever comes to Guru ji with faith and devotion, Guru ji fulfills all of their wishes. Your good karma has blossomed because the wish to see Guru ji has bloomed inside of you. You will receive the happiness of both worlds. Go and bow to the feet of Guru Arjan Dev ji and become his Sikh.” The Raja, the fortunate one, heard this and had love in his heart for the Guru. He wished to see Guru ji. He got ready with his army and started his journey towards Amritsar. His ministers went as well.
They travelled slowly with Bhai Kalyana ji and soon reached Sri Amritsar Sahib. They came close to Guru ji’s home and set up camp outside of the city. They had horses and elephants with them so they camped in an open area. The Raja collected nice and expensive items to gift to Guru ji. He had his servants and queens come with him too. Their camps were set. Bhai Kalyana ji made all of the arrangements. Bhai ji said to the Raja in a sweet voice: “rest here for a while. I will go to Guru ji and ask for your permission to see him.”
Bhai Kalyana ji came to Guru ji’s home where the Master of the Universe was sitting. Bhai Kalyana ji folded his hands and bowed. His heart was filled with joy and bliss, after seeing Guru ji. Guru ji said to him: “welcome Kalyana! Did you complete your great task?” Bhai Kalyana ji folded his hands and told Guru ji everything: “I brought the Raja along with me. You assisted me and cured the Raja. The Raja was anxious to see you. He wishes to become your Sikh. I am confident that he can do the complete Seva of the Sarovar by himself. He is quite generous and capable. You have blessed everything and everything happened for the good. I was just an excuse. You are the one that does everything. Laxmi already lives here but this is just how things had to happen. I am an excuse, that you wanted to send me for money. You are the giver of the three worlds. Everyone asks everything from you. You control the four types of entries in this world (by way life takes birth). You can do as you wish. Whatever is in your heart, only that happens. Nobody can reverse your wishes. Your wishes come out to be true. All of the Devatas and Devis are in your command. All of the powers are in your command. The Raja of Mandi has set up camp outside the city. He will spend the night and come in the morning. He will bow his head upon your lotus-feet if you would kindly give your permission, please.”
