Guru Nanak Sahib in Baghdad
« on: July 27, 2012, 02:04:02 PM »
This is a small transcript cum summary of a Katha of Bhai Sant Singh Maskeen of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and their discourse with a Pir. I have shortened few things, but the essence is the same.

The Pir tried to test Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Greatness by asking 3 questions, to which many great men couldn't answer and ran away. Guru Ji agreed, albeit that they be allowed to answer questions in their own way (i.e. by showing/doing 'things')

1st Question: What was there before God?

Guru Ji ordered a plate of diamonds and asked the Pir to count them. "1, 2, 3, ...". Wrong said the Guru, "try again". The Pir did, and Guru Ji stopped him again. He then asked "O Holy Pir, I will count once more, and tell me where I go wrong." As the Pir said 1, Guru Ji held his arm and said "Why begin from 1, count before that." The Pir asked how it is possible, as there is nothing (to be counted) before 1.

"There is/was nothing before God. Just like there is nothing before One, there was nothing before God also. He has always been the Primal Lord."

With little hesitation and less arrogance he asked the 2nd Question: Where does He live?
Guru Ji ordered for milk. After it came, Guru Ji said that something was in the milk. The Pir asked what was in it? The Guru required wheter there was butter (gheo) in the milk or not. The Pir said "Yes". The Guru said "Still we don't see it. Altough it is absorbed in each part of the milk, we don't see it. The same way, God is in every particle of the universe, but isn't visible. Just as you believed there is butter in the milk, once you start believing that God is Here, you will start seeing Him too"

3rd Question: What does God do? Does he do anything or does he remain 'without work' (vehla)

The Guru asked the Pir to come of his throne and let the Guru seat there. The Pir did it. Guru Ji sat on the "throne" and closed his eyes. After a while, when the Guru didn't say anything, the Pir asked again. The Guru opened his eyes and said "Didn't you understand? That is what God does. Gets the Kings off the thrones and makes him sit on the floor and get someone from the floor to sit on the throne. This is what He does."
