Guru Nanak, together with Mardana and Bala, his two companions who dependably served him, headed out together to the nation of Kashmir. They went to the city of Sri Nagar. There the individuals knew who he was due to his grace and his light. The individuals were exceptionally blissful and favored to sit with him and gain experience from him. In that city there was likewise an Intellectual named Brahm Das. He was exceptionally studied and through his commitment to the goddess he had picked up yogic powers. At the time he caught that an extraordinary Guru had come to town he considered, "I don't suppose I will be that astounded with this new-comer. It is I who has extraordinary learning and heavenly powers. I will reveal to him my expertise. Sitting on this rug I will fly over to where he is and there is probably that he will be completely inspired when I arrive."

Without a doubt enough, he got on his rug, suspended up and traveled to where an extensive swarm had assembled around the Guru. Every living soul appeared blissful. He looked and looked however he wouldn't be able to see Guru Nanak anyplace. He arrived and asked the individuals, "Where is this 'guru'?" The Guru, with his sweet voice and excellent face, was sitting in the thick of it, yet the Intellectual wouldn't be able to see him. The individuals were astounded and said to the intellectual, "He's sitting directly before you!" Yet the intellectual can't see the wonderfulness directly before him. He tried to fly his rug away however... it didn't work. None of his traps worked and he needed to stroll once again by walking convey his rug under his arm.

Later he asked his servant, "Was the Guru truly there?" "Goodness yes he absolutely was, he was so kind and delightful and we all had an extraordinary time!" Every living soul else appeared to comprehend and be loaded with joy yet the scholarly intellectual was confounded, "Well provided that he was there, than why wouldn't I be able to see him?!?" He was stunned when he caught the answer, "It is in view of your pride that you wouldn't be able to see him."

So the following day the savant modestly strolled by walking to meet the Guru. This time he did see the Guru around the swarm. The savant bowed after the Guru, who is a companion to all. The Guru said, "Come sit here." Savant Brahm Das sat beside the Guru and asked, "Regarded Guru, when I came here yesterday... why wouldn't I be able to see you?" The Guru said, "How might you be able to see in such compelling dimness?" "Murkiness? However it was expansive sunshine when I came here yesterday!" The Guru answered, "Is there any deeper dimness than pride?" These expressions struck the savant, "In light of the fact that you can fly you suppose you are so incredible. Look around, the fowls can fly, the bugs can fly. Would you like to be like them?"

Reality struck his heart and the savant said, "Please forget me, I see your intelligence extraordinary Guru. I have perused hallowed books and picked up super powers yet I'll concede... I have not discovered peace and joy. If you don't mind let me know how I can touch the feet of the Inventor." The Guru demonstrated to him, "You venerate divine beings and goddesses and much the same as people they are transitory. You have accompanied men of extraordinary learning and you have come to be lost in that information. That sort of information which expands the obscurity of inner self, won't assist you. Statements are just considerable when they are correct and you live reality they stand for. All statements are just images. Look inside yourself and see reality."

The Guru sang a lovely melody...

"Provided that somebody is lauded by all. Provided that somebody is effective and tall. Anyway there's no inner sacrosanct call, none of it matters whatsoever. The Inventor gives to all the same. Gave us a chance to lovingly sing His Name.

Reality dawned on the pandit. "I have now figured out how to look for shrewdness and delight from inside and not from outside. Sometime later I will do my absolute best to dispose of my contemplations of self by serving others and remaining ingested in the Naam by the grace of the Master."
