(Excerpts from pujya Bapuji’s Satsang)
The king of Ujjain Now called Ujjain, Bhartruhari had three hundred and sixty chefs in his kitchen. Each one of them would get a chance to cook only one day of a the year. For the three hundred and fifty days. They would keep waiting for their chance so that they could prepare food for the king and get rewarded. But when Chartres surrendered at Guru Gorakhanthji’s feet he would beg for alms and eat.
Once Guru Gorakhanthji’s told his disciples look despite being king he has conquered lust anger greed and arrogance and is firm resolve. The disciple replied Guruji he is a king of kings. He used to have three hundred and sixty chefs. How come a king who hails for an environment of sense enjoyments and luxury ahs become so devoid of lust anger and greed.
Guru Gorakhanthji’s told king Bhartruhari, Bhartruhari Go and fetch wood form the jungle for the bhandara.”
King Bhartruhari went bare feet and was returning with the wood collected form the jungle on his head.
Gorakhanthji’s told his other disciples God and give hi la shove so the load on his head falls down his disciples went and gave him such a shove that the lad on his head fell and even Bhartruhari fell down. Bhartruhari picked yup the lad but there was not a frown on his face, on fiery eyes and no trembling lips.
Guruji told his disciples Look! Bhartruhari has conquered his anger.
The disciples remarked Guru now we should give him more tests.
After going a little ahead, Guruji recreated places by his yogic prowess. Beautiful ladies started honoring them with different kings of eatable etc. Neither did Bhartruhari become lustful on seeing the ladies nor did nor he get angry on their flirtations behaviors.
Gorakhanthji’s said to his disciples at least no you all must be use sure that Bhartruhari has subjugated lust anger greed.
The disciples said Gurudev Take one more test.
Gorakhanthji said Well Bhartruhari! To become a disciples of mine one has to pass thought an ordeal. God you will have to ravel for month barefoot in a desert.
Bhraturabhi as you wish Gurudev Bhartruhari Proceeded. Having crossed the mountainous terrious he reached the desert hot sands blazing heat just place you feet on the destroy land and they would get roasted! One day tow days… Traveling thus six days of the journey leased. On the seventh day Guru Gorakhanthji also with his disciples using his occult powers.
Gorakhanthji said look here goers Bhartruhari he won’t even sit under the shade of the tree. He suddenly got tree erased While walking when Bhartytruhari’s foot stepped on the shade under the three, he leapt up as if has steppe done embers.
How did this tree come up in a desert? How did my foot come in the shade under a tree? Guruji command was to travel through a desert. He jumped and stepped away.
Guruji become happy thus Look How a he obey his guru Commands for one who has never stepped of a carpet scuh a person while crossing the desert feels as if he a has stepped on crossing the dessert feels as if he has steeped on embers when the tree’s shade just touched him. Gorakhanthji felt contented at his disciples firmness but the other disciples felt jealousy.
The disciples said Guruji This is alright but the test is not ye over. Gorakhanthji (having changed his form) met him ahead and said Make use of the shade),
Bhartuaruhari No Guruji has given commands to walk barefoot in the desert.’ Gorakhathji thought Let me see how long you walk. Having gone a little ahead he created many thorns by using his yogic powers. Scuh a thorny bush that Bhartruhari kantha (clothing made out of sewing old torn clothes together)was torn. Thorns stated pricking his feet . Despite that Bhartruhari did not even let out a sign.
As is ambrosial nectar so is bitter poison. As is honor so is dishonor. One who si not affected by pleasure or pain, who looks upon firend and enemy alike says Nanak listen. O mind know such person as leveraged.’
Bharaturhari become all the more introspective All this is a dream and the Gurudattava is mine. The command that Guru has give is itself a penance. This is also Guru grace.
It si only Guru grace that can bring about the highest good of the disciple.
For the final test Gorakhathji with his yogi powers created extreme heat. Bhartruhari suffered severe thirst and the was about to die. Then Gorakhanthji created a luscious green tree very close to him, below which was kept an earthen pot containing water and a golden cup. Bharaturhari glanced at it once but immediately a thought occurred dot him I how I am not violating my Guru command!
This thought has just flashed to him when he saw Gorakhathji coming towards him. Bhartruhari prostrate and paid obeisance to him Guruji said well done , Bhartruhari Ask for a boon should I give you the eight supernormal powers the nine fishes? You refused delicious dishes. Beautiful woman were willing to massage your feet: they wren ready to move a canvas fan made of hair mounted on a handle over you. You did not even get enamored of them. Ask for whatever you wish.
Bhartruhari Guruji you are pleased with me That all . I have got everything. For a disciples a guru satisfactions everything.
Lord shaiva tells paravatiji:
“O Devi by the mere satisfaction of the Guru all penances sacrifices austerities etc.. Practiced in crores of births in crores of Kalpas (world process) become fruitful.”
Grur you are satisfied with me. My good deeds sacrifices and penances precipitance and perfumed in crores of births have all become fruitful.”
No Bharaturhari Don’t refuse you will have to take something or the other.
In the meantime a shining needle become visible in the sands. Picking it up, Bhartruhari said Guru my kantha is torn. Just thread this needle so that I can sew my kantha.
Guruji become even more pleased and said. This is the limit! How undemanding you are! You don’t want the eight siddhi or the nine or the mine riches or anything I told you to ask for something and you tell me to thread a needs just to keep your Guru Word.
“A man without any exception pure form within and without, skilled without any prejudice and freed form sorrows. Such a devotee who has renounced doer shop in all undertakings is dear to me.
“No expectations! Bhartruhari You have been blessed On one hand the king of Ujjain and no the other a man walking barefoot in the desert. You did not trace even a month to pass the test. You succeeded in the test with in seven eight days only.; Bhartuaruhari cave and Gopichand’s cave are famous pleas now.
The intention behead saying this is that a man can scale many heights in life . Once in Nautical my Gurudev told me. Show these people China peak (presently called Naina Peak This is a famous peak of the Himalayas) and come back. The visitors were reluctant to go because of bad weather they were repeatedly reusing. I pleaded them and led them to China Peak The weather become clear there. The sun has not risen when w3e had se tout walking and we reached the ashram after sunet.
Guruji asked. The weather was so bad. There was a hailstorm. How did you reach?’
The people who ahs gone with me said Asaram aid that Bapuji had given an order so I will obey it. You also come.’
We did not want to go but he pleaded us, he would sometimes entreat us some times persuade and sometimes he give satsang. Somehow he make us reach chin peak..
Guru become extremely happy,. He exclaimed Oh the nature obey one who obey the command of his Guru I of course got a blessing!
Your love charms even poisonous snakes. You clouds ask for you r command before raining.
I obeyed my Guru commands so now thousands of people my I certainly befitted a lot by obeying my Guru. One who resolutely obeys his Guru s commands has accomplished his work.
Follow the word of guru, with faith and belief. Follow what is in scriptures , and be doubt free. Whatever is being told by the scripts and Guru, Is indeed all truth. Do not doubt that. If you wan your well being. This knowledge is the way to, Happiness and liberation. Without knowledge this world cannot be renounced. Even in hundreds of kalpas. Stop all the thoughts, And concentrate your mind, calm down all your thoughts, And meditate on the self always.
