Prithi Chand got angry listening to Bhai Gurdas ji. He said: “you came to give me wisdom? Don’t try to be smart. When my brother found out that I am going to the Emperor and he was going to be disrespected, he sent you to convince me. He wants to keep his reputation and that I not go to the Emperor. Look how scared he is. You are talking about his powers? Don’t you think I know him? I’ve known him since childhood. I know what he’s all about. I won’t go to him or listen to him. I will meet him when I am the Guru and make him look lower. He made me look like a sinner in the world. He told everyone that I was trying to kill his son. I am stubborn like a petrified wood piece. I will die but never bow to him. I will not meet him. Don’t make up stuff. Go back to your home. Those two brothers are one. I am alone. Watch my powers now. You will see how big I am. I spent a lot of money to make this Sarovar. I have made a Sarovar equal to his. Many people will come here. Its glory will grow and Jor melas will happen here. People like Sulhi Khan bow to me. What else can I say? When I meet Jahangir, I will be powerful. I will use my power and make Guru Arjan Dev ji small. I will show you how powerful I am. I do not lie. I do what I say. My Sarovar will be the greatest. I will own everything. Many Umraavs bow to me. I will show them my glory and make them bow to my feet. I will show you what power means. I will show it when the time comes. I will make my brother bow to me. I am not like my brother who sits on our father’s seat. He made the Sarovar and became the Guru. Where did he show his powers? Pithaji was naïve and gave my brother the Gurta Ghaddi. I was left with nothing.” Bhai Gurdas ji said: “you don’t know what you’re saying. This is the Jot of Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji which was given to Guru Angad Dev ji. Guru Amardas ji did Seva of Guru Angad Dev ji for 12 years. He got the Jot after so much Seva. He then sat on the Ghaddi. When Guru Ramdas ji sat on the throne, he got the Jot. You saw how many Sikhs came to your father. They got what they wanted. That Jot is in Guru Arjan Dev ji. Even if obstacles come, he will not show his powers. Even if his head falls, he will always stay humble and not show his powers. He knows the will of Akaal Purakh and is happy with it. You should let go of anger and greed. Come with me. Guru Arjan Dev ji will come forward to meet you with respect. He will give you respect. If he is younger and you are older, he has the Jot of the Guru inside of him. Whoever bows, is the greatest. That’s why your younger brother is so great. I came to give you wisdom for your own good. Talk to your mind if you want to come. If you come, you will be happy. If you don’t come, you will be ruined. Don’t think you will be powerful and make your brother lower. Your brother is the most powerful. You won’t be able to do anything to him. Once you are separated from your brother, you will never be able to join him. Conflict is bad. Conflict for the Gurta Ghaddi is bad. Going to the Turks is very bad. Once your reputation is stained, it will never come off. Even the Turks know this.” Prithi Chand said: “I already know everything. When everything comes out, you will know everything. Don’t hope that I will go to my brother. I will have my brother arrested and killed. I will be the Guru. I will have his son arrested as well. I will be happy then.” Bhai Gurdas ji figured that Prithi Chand is too stubborn. He is unwise and hard as a rock. Just as Neem is bitter since it sprouts, that’s how Prithi Chand is. He was born in the Guru’s house and stayed with his father but he’s still corrupt. A rock will remain a rock even if it is in the water for 10 years. He stayed in the Guru’s home and is still corrupt. He has no compassion. His personality will not change. Bhai Gurdas ji was upset and got up. He thought to himself: “the stain that he had put on, it has gotten deeper. He will be in pain and loss. He didn’t listen to anyone. This is the criteria for going to Hell, being talked bad about. He wants to be Guru but he has no virtues. He is unwise. He doesn’t listen to wise people.” Bhai Gurdas ji got up. Prithi Chand swore at him and got up. Bhai Gurdas ji said to Prithi Chand: “Guru Ramdas ji was omniscient and for this reason he didn’t give you any powers. He knew you were corrupt. You didn’t know what it means to tolerate the intolerable. You don’t know how to accept Akaal Purakh’s will. The Guru can do all of this. He knew you were going to do bad things. Guru Ramdas ji kept you empty for this reason. He knew your personality. He did the best thing. The whole world knows.” Prithi Chand just kept swearing and Bhai Gurdas ji left.
Bhai Gurdas ji knew that Prithi Chand was a bad person. Bhai Gurdas ji let go of his personal anger and started his way back to Amritsar. He sang the praises of Guru Arjan Dev ji, who’s heart was deeper than the ocean, on his way back. Guru ji was calm, cool and serene; he was without desire, anger, greed or pain. These vices didn’t even touch him. He was always in bliss. Bhai Gurdas ji was drenched in love as he walked back. His eyes shed tears as he thought about the Guru. He had the form of the Guru’s feet in his mind. As he arrived in Amritsar, he wanted to see Guru Arjan Dev ji. He walked faster towards Guru ji’s home. As soon as he arrived, he bowed to Guru Arjan Dev ji’s feet. He was in bliss to see Guru ji. Guru Arjan Dev ji saw Bhai Gurdas ji and asked: “tell me how the discussion with my brother went. How is he? What is his intention? Does he want to come back? Did he let go of his corruption? Did he agree to what I said?” Bhai Gurdas ji folded his hands and said: “your Maya is powerful. Your Maya has made slaves of Jogis, Munis and many others. You know what is going to happen. You know that it won’t happen in any other way. Only you can save everyone. Whoever you have love for, you save by extending your hand. Slanderers and corrupt people drown, but you can save them. They drown in poison everyday. They don’t have a ship to board. Only the ones that you save are saved. Your brother’s speech and ways are bad. He puts on a show. He is corrupt. He is full of greed. He feels bad to see someone else’s glory and wealth. His mind is full of sin. I wrote this Vaar on the way home. This is how corrupt people are. Please listen to my Vaar. People who have no good virtues; those who are filled with ego.” The 6th Vaar of Bhai Gurdas ji, he said to Guru ji:
The face of the Meenas is stained, they have earned falseness. He is like a peacock but eats insects. Those are unwise people. They have no virtues of the Guru. Their company is bad, the Meenas slander the Guru. Their minds are corrupt and live their whole life like this. The Jumms beat them when they die. He is corrupt and without reputation. He will be in pain.
“Guru ji, I said this to him too but he didn’t listen. A person cannot take oil out of white sand; there is no hair on a turtle’s back; the donkey has no horns; the corrupt person has no virtues. The snakes are never with compassion. The corrupt people have poison in their minds. If Brahma would try to convince them, they will not listen. There is not even one virtue. They are never happy. I pleaded with your brother many times. I bowed to him and spoke nicely. I told him to let go of hatred, but he didn’t listen to me. He swore at me and spoke bad things. He spoke very bad things. I tried to give him what he wanted but he didn’t listen. I tried to tell him that he will get all the respect he wanted but he didn’t want it. I have sent this Vaar to your brother. He doesn’t think about him. He will read this Vaar and think about it. This is all I can do for him.” Guru ji said: “the person who is corrupt, if you bow to such a person, it fuels the fire of their vices. Understand this, they are always in pain. It is not good to do bad to others. I called him seeing him as my brother. He is egotistical and says I am afraid of him. If he calls you, you stay quiet. We will no longer go to him anymore. What Sri Guru Nanak Dev ji will do, only that will happen. He will fold his hands and beg from the Turks. He doesn’t see the greatness of the elders. He is a fool and ruined his Dharma. He will get nothing in his hand. He will filter only sand.” Guru Ji said this and went quiet. It was after all, the will of Akaal Purakh for a corrupt person to be corrupt.
