Devotion, Love and Service Towards Religion
>> Thursday, March 25, 2010
Bhai Jetha ji was an ideal of love, devotion, service and resignation. For him Guru Amar Das was not only his father-in-law but he treated him as his ideal Guru. He surrendered his life in his sewa. He along with his wife used to work in the Guru's kitchen, cook food, serve meals from the kitchen and then wash the dishes.
The more he served the Guru the more his love for him and for the mankind increased.
Later on, while the construction of the Baoli (a well with stairs) was undertaken, Ram Das ji worked day and night. He carried baskets of earth on his head like everybody else. Once when his relatives were returning from a pilgrimage to the river Ganga, they stopped for sometime at Goindwal on their way to Lahore. They saw Bhai Jetha ji working like a common labourer, they got angry and asked him not to displease their family working like this. Bhai Jetha jI replied, "In your estimation the Guru is my father-in-law but for me, he is God".
They were very much annoyed on having the answer and went to the Guru complaining about what they had made of his son-in-law. Guruji replied, I have caused the umbrella of true sovereignty to wave over him. If he had not been born in your family, you would all have been damned. It is he, who saved the whole of your tribe."
