Bhagat Kabeer Ji protected from Mad Elephant!


The nature of bhagt Kabeer Ji, got on the nerves of ruthless Kings and rulers of his time. His love, compassion for humanity made him many enemies. Attempts were made on his live many times, but Waheguru Ji protected him on many incidents. A king once tired to get Kabeer Ji crushed to death by a elephant, nut instead with the power of God, the elephant picked him up instead of harming him. This Sakhi is in Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, Ang 870

Raag Gond, The Word Of Kabeer Jee, Second House:
One Universal Creator God. By The Grace Of The True Guru:
They tied my arms, bundled me up, and threw me before an elephant.
The elephant driver struck him on the head, and infuriated him.
But the elephant ran away, trumpeting,
"I am a sacrifice to this image of the Lord."||1||

O my Lord and Master, You are my strength.
The Qazi shouted at the driver to drive the elephant on. ||1||Pause||
He yelled out, ""O driver, I shall cut you into pieces.
Hit him, and drive him on!""

But the elephant did not move; instead, he began to meditate.
The Lord God abides within his mind. ||2||

What sin has this Saint committed,
that you have made him into a bundle and thrown him before the elephant?
Lifting up the bundle, the elephant bows down before it.
The Qazi could not understand it; he was blind. ||3||

Three times, he tried to do it.
Even then, his hardened mind was not satisfied.
Says Kabeer, such is my Lord and Master.
The soul of His humble servant dwells in the fourth state. ||4||1||4||
