After this incident, Nanak became very moody and
sad. He would often get lost in deep thinking.
All times, he would not take the cattle out for
grazing but would just sit and think. His mother and father noticed this change
in Nanak. One day his parents tried to get him out of his sad and contemplative
mood.
When he didn’t cheer up, his parents got more
worried and thought that something had happened to Nanak. They called a doctor
to check Nanak. When the doctor came, Nanak told him, “You will not be able to
help me.”
Let me try, “Said the doctor.”
Nanak refused, “You won’t understand my pain. It is
not the body, it’s my mind. You can go.”
The doctor asked, “If I go, who will help you?”
Nanak calmly said, “Whoever has given me the pain
will get me out of this too.”
Slowly he nodded his head and stated, "Yes I
have got the cure now.”
His father asked, “What is it Nanak?
Nanak replied with conviction, “I should leave
everything in the hands of God.”
Then he smiled as if he had got the answer and the
cure to his problem.
Soon he become normal again and started cheerful.
His parents realized that their son was not an
ordinary boy. He was special and was among the few who meditate and contemplate
on thinking beyond the world. But because Nanak was their only son, they would
often get worried about his future.
His mother was patient and understanding towards him
and accepted Nanak’s meditative mood as a sign of his connection with God.
