21. Jealousy of Piran Ditta Mirasi
Guru Ravidass Ji was well wisher of human beings. He never
discriminated between anybody on any ground. He preached sat margin his
religious discourses. He became famous amongst the people. People of all
varnas and castes became disciples of Guru Ravidass Ji. Piran Ditta
Mirasi did not like increasing fame of Guru Ji. One day Piran Ditta
Mirasi called a meeting of his favourites. They planned to kill Guru
Ravidass Ji. On some pretext Guru Ji was called to the Sabha. When Guru
Ji arrived, some started hot talk with him. Guru Ji argued with them as
to why they were talking rough with him without any reason. Some of them
suddenly jumped over Guru Ji to kill him. At this Guru Ji remembered God
and recited shabad:
Ram gusaaeaa jeea ke jeewnaa
Moh na bisaar(u) mai jan tera (Rahaao)
Meri har(u) bipit jan krhu subhaaiee
Charan na chhaadao sareer kaljaaiee
Kaho Ravidass parao teri sabha.
Beig milhu jan karu na bilanma
As soon as Guru Ji humbly and devotionally recited above shabad there
was dazzling
light in the sky. All members of the Sabha started seeing appearance of
Guru Ji on all sides.
They all were confused and scared. At the same time Guru Ji was seen
blowing conch-shell at
his house. Guru Ji was rescued by God. They failed in their plan. The
Sabha members repented
on their action and begged apology from Guru Ji. The sacred place of
occurrence of this incident
is located towards Ganga near Lotu Baba Pir at Seer Govardhanpur
Varanasi.
