Blessing a Deaf Man     Aurangzeb sent Raja Jai Singh of Ambar to Kiratpur and ask Guru Harkrishan to come to Delhi and meet him. Guru Harkrishan Saheb received the message, he told the messenger, “I will come to Delhi and meet all of my Sikhs, but I will not meet Aurangzeb because that is my father’s order.”         The Guru started his journey to Delhi, his mother, Mata Sulakhni Ji and other Sikhs accompanied the Guru. The Guru also had an army of 2,200 soldiers that accompanied him. After some time they reached the village of Panjokhra, near Ambala.         While staying here, a nearby Brahmin named Lal Chand saw the Guru and his army. He asked another Sikh, “What is the name of this king that is traveling with his army?”         The Sikh answered, “It is Guru Har Krishan who is on his way to Delhi.”         The Brahmin got angry, he said, “How dare he call himself Har Krishan. Krishan is the one who gave us the gift of the Gita. If he calls himself Har Krishan then does he have any of the powers of Krishan?”         He told the Sikh to ask the Guru to come meet him and answer his question. The Guru asked the Sikh to bring Brahmin Lal Chand. When the Brahmin entered, he did not salute or bow to the Guru. He sat down with a very proud look on his face. He then said, “You call your self Har Krishan. If you are using this name, then you should have the powers of Sri Krishan in you. Krishan gave us the Gita, I would like  you to explain and discuss the meanings of the Gita with me.”          The Guru said, “With God’s blessing, any man off the street can do that. Go and bring anyone you wish from the village, that person will give you the meanings to the Gita.”         Brahmin Lal chand went to the village and brought back a deaf water-carrier named Chhajju. The Guru placed his stick on Chhajju’s head and then said to Lal Chand, “You may now discuss the Gita with this man.”         The Brahmin started to ask questions about the Gita and amazingly the deaf man started to speak. He gave such great replies that the Brahmin became speechless. He admitted defeat and fell at the Guru’s feet. His pride was broken and he asked for forgiveness from the Guru.         From here, Guru Har Krishan Saheb continued his journey to Delhi.
