When Guru Ram Das ji Met Sri Chand Ji!

Meeting between Guru Ramdas Ji and Sri Chand (Son of Guru Nanak Dev Ji)

After Guru Ramdas Ji had taken the gurgaddi he still continued doing lot of physical sewa. Once Baba Sri chand, son of Guru Nanak ji decided to meet Guru Ramdas ji. As soon as the word traveled to Guru Ramdas Ji, He sent his followers to meet Sri Chand at the edge of the city and himself left his sewa to meet him. When Baba Sri Chand saw Guru Ramdas Ji he was shocked because with his yogic eyes he saw his father Guru Nanak in Guru Ramdas ji. He proclaimed you are the image of my father .. you have the light of my father, but your beard is much longer than my father! why is your beard so long ?? Guru Ramdas ji answered – my beard is so long so that I can wipe the feet of the saints like u and he actually bent over to rub over Sri Chand’s feet. This surprised Sri Chand ji who jumped back and said even after so many years of ‘tap’ I haven’t been able to achieve this grace and humility. I have never seen such humility before. you are the king. you sit on the throne. you are the king of the yoga. They both
enjoyed the meeting after that.

“With the rising of the sun, the Gurmukh speaks of the Lord. All through the night, he dwells upon the Sermon of the Lord. My God has infused this longing within me; I seek my Lord God. ||1||

My mind is the dust of the feet of the Holy. The Guru has implanted the Sweet Name of the Lord, Har, Har,
within me. I dust the Guru’s Feet with my hair. ||1||Pause|| – GGS ji Ang:1355

Soon the word spread that Sri Chand ji declared Guru Ramdas ji as the yoga king.. the yogi’s stated to question what yoga does he knows and what is the throne he sits on ???.. so when they came to Guru Ramdas ji, ramdas ji told them to chant gods name instead of austerities and stop violence against their body, and instead of going to caves and leaving everything, live in your “grisht ashram” (homes) and bring moderation to your eating, sleeping and to your sensuality ..don’t deny yourself as a human but bring moderation to it and infuse yourself with moral courage (sahaj yoga) and by these things they will gain union with god.. the way of yoga the celebs have adopted had actually separated them from god for when they came close in presence of a woman their equilibrium was disturbed bcos they were still humans.. Guru Ramdas told them to keep their equilibrium day and night by meditation and chanting gods name. and focusing on god’s feet.

You may pluck the strings with your hand, O Yogi, but your playing of the harp is in vain.

Under Guru’s Instruction, chant the Glorious Praises of the Lord, O Yogi, and this mind of yours shall be imbued with the Lord’s Love. ||1||

O Yogi, give your intellect the Teachings of the Lord.
The Lord, the One Lord, is pervading throughout all the ages; I humbly bow down to Him. ||1||Pause||

You sing in so many Ragas and harmonies, and you talk so much, but this mind of yours is only playing a
game You work the well and irrigate the fields, but the oxen have already left to graze in the jungle. ||2||

In the field of the body, plant the Lord’s Name, and the Lord will sprout there, like a lush green field.
O mortal, hook up your unstable mind like an ox, and irrigate your fields with the Lord’s Name, through
the Guru’s Teachings. ||3||

The Yogis, the wandering Jangams, and all the world is Yours, O Lord. According to the wisdom which
You give them, so do they follow their ways.

O Lord God of servant Nanak, O Inner-knower, Searcher of hearts, please link my mind to You. ||4||9||61||
– GGS ji Ang:368

He further explained.. yoga is acceptance of both polarities ..good and bad .. when there is no good no bad .. (kaun bhale ko mande) ?? when u accept all of it as god then you merge with god in ecstasy. and this is true yog.
