[Dharma Singing: A diamond’s worth
one and a quarter lakh.]

02:24.604 --> 02:25.813
Brother Dharma...

02:27.313 --> 02:29.188
I have tied up all
the animals inside.

02:30.396 --> 02:31.771
Man, it's so cold today...

02:32.396 --> 02:33.854
don't you feel cold?

02:33.938 --> 02:36.021
Want me to warm you up?
- No, no.

02:36.646 --> 02:37.688
Brother Dharma,

02:37.813 --> 02:40.104
that tune you were
humming before I arrived...

02:40.146 --> 02:41.813
Sing that for me.

02:41.938 --> 02:47.354
"A diamond's worth
one and a quarter lakh."

02:47.521 --> 02:51.813
"A Jatt’s life is hard,
but God preserves his honor."

02:52.104 --> 02:56.271
"A Jatt’s life is hard,
but God preserves his honor."

02:56.313 --> 02:57.354
Come have some roti.

02:57.479 --> 02:58.896
I made wheat rotis today.

02:58.938 --> 03:02.021
"A handsome rooster
sits on the rooftop!"

03:02.646 --> 03:04.271
"A handsome rooster
sits on the rooftop!"

03:04.396 --> 03:05.396
Brother Dharma.

03:06.104 --> 03:07.104
What happened?

03:07.146 --> 03:08.896
What?
- Wasn't that rooster white?

03:09.104 --> 03:10.021
Oh, was it?

03:10.104 --> 03:12.438
Yes, it was white.
- All right, I'll make it white.

03:12.521 --> 03:15.438
"A white rooster sits on the rooftop"...

03:15.813 --> 03:20.063
"Girl with those pretty teeth,
I'm crazy about you."

03:20.313 --> 03:23.396
"Girl with those pretty teeth,
I'm crazy about you."

03:23.438 --> 03:24.479
Taaro! - [Background: Taaro said,"Yeah?]

03:25.313 --> 03:26.646
Amazing, brother.

03:26.729 --> 03:28.104
Gaama.
- Yes.

03:28.146 --> 03:30.604
I consider you my brother. - [Women talking in the background]

03:31.521 --> 03:33.188
Yes, you do.
- But you never

03:34.104 --> 03:35.563
listen to me on this one thing.

03:36.188 --> 03:37.521
No, bro, I just can't.

03:37.813 --> 03:38.813
Brother

03:39.813 --> 03:41.313
I promise you one thing...

03:42.021 --> 03:43.688
The day Kesar gets married...

03:44.104 --> 03:45.896
I will
drink more than you.

03:46.313 --> 03:47.146
Really?
- Yes.

03:47.604 --> 03:47.854
Alright.

03:47.938 --> 03:49.854
You are a really good singer.

03:50.021 --> 03:51.604
Really?
- I mean it.

03:52.146 --> 03:54.688
Dharma, your mother is here. Look, she’s over there.

03:54.729 --> 03:56.063
Hide that drink!

03:56.313 --> 03:57.688
I see everything.

03:58.229 --> 04:00.146
Gaama, you should be the
one talking sense into him.

04:00.229 --> 04:02.854
Aunty, what should I say? He wants me
to have a drink with him too.

04:02.896 --> 04:05.479
Idiots, eat something that is
actually meant to be eaten.

04:05.604 --> 04:07.063
The food is getting cold. - Ok.

04:07.229 --> 04:08.396
And get up from there...

04:08.729 --> 04:10.063
Something might bite you.

04:10.229 --> 04:11.271
We're coming.

04:11.438 --> 04:12.896
Can I have one more drink?

04:13.313 --> 04:15.646
That's enough for now.
Don’t get drunk. - Just one more.

04:15.729 --> 04:17.979
That’s enough. - Dharma, come here.
Can't you hear me?

04:18.021 --> 04:20.146
That's enough, put it down. You
keep on drinking. Let's go.

04:20.229 --> 04:21.438
Come on, drink your milk.

04:21.521 --> 04:23.396
But I’m the one who drinks milk.
You can’t even drink it!

04:23.438 --> 04:24.771
Kesar, be quiet and drink it.

04:24.896 --> 04:26.688
You didn’t drink your milk again today?

04:26.938 --> 04:27.979
Kesar, shh!

04:28.229 --> 04:30.063
Make it a habit to drink milk, dear.

04:30.396 --> 04:33.313
Your mother-in-law will have you working all day.

04:34.104 --> 04:35.188
So what, grandma?

04:35.896 --> 04:38.604
My brother Kesar will always be the
one bringing gifts for me anyway.

04:38.729 --> 04:39.688
Of course.

04:40.104 --> 04:41.771
Will you take gifts for her?
- Hmm!

04:43.021 --> 04:44.021
- Come on, finish your milk. - Now do one thing...

04:44.604 --> 04:46.354
Drink your milk and go to sleep.

04:46.521 --> 04:48.188
Hmm.
- Don't keep talking.

04:48.229 --> 04:49.646
Okay, grandma.
- Go to sleep.

04:52.021 --> 04:53.063
Dad!

04:53.313 --> 04:54.313
Dad!

04:54.813 --> 04:55.854
Dad!

04:56.396 --> 04:57.938
Dear, go to sleep.

04:58.313 --> 05:00.688
Did you have a dream
about your dad again today?

05:01.313 --> 05:02.271
It has been a year.

05:03.729 --> 05:05.688
He completely forgot
about us after going there.

05:06.729 --> 05:09.729
I will go to the Gurudwara
tomorrow morning to offer prayers.

05:10.146 --> 05:12.021
God will make everything right.

05:12.521 --> 05:14.313
Go to sleep, go to sleep, my dear.

05:14.396 --> 05:16.021
Go to sleep.

05:32.896 --> 05:33.896
Bless me, Aunt!

05:34.021 --> 05:35.063
God bless you.

05:35.104 --> 05:37.396
May you have a happy marriage, and may your brothers live long.

05:38.229 --> 05:39.313
Here, take the prasad.

05:39.604 --> 05:40.646
So, Auntie…

05:40.813 --> 05:42.479
did you find out anything
about Brother Dharma?

05:42.604 --> 05:43.604
No, dear.

05:44.313 --> 05:45.896
No news at all.

05:46.313 --> 05:47.896
It's been a year since he left.

05:48.521 --> 05:50.021
We received just one letter.

05:51.104 --> 05:52.771
We’re already broken inside.

05:55.021 --> 05:57.979
It has been 2 years since Kesar's
mother Mindo, passed away.

05:58.104 --> 06:00.729
I have just come back after
offering prayers at the Gurudwara.

06:00.813 --> 06:04.271
Since Mindo was from my maternal
village, she was like a sister to me.

06:04.604 --> 06:05.938
The two of us would...

06:06.229 --> 06:08.854
Share every joy and sorrow together.

06:09.938 --> 06:11.271
On that day, I was
also supposed to go with

06:11.313 --> 06:13.729
Mindo and Taaro to
harvest greens from the field.

06:14.521 --> 06:15.563
I think of...

06:16.104 --> 06:18.646
that day every day.

06:20.104 --> 06:21.563
We were standing right here.

06:21.938 --> 06:23.229
Sister, if you are free...

06:23.313 --> 06:24.854
come help me pick some greens from the field.

06:24.896 --> 06:26.438
Or someone else will take them.

06:26.521 --> 06:27.813
Sister, I wanted to go too...

06:27.896 --> 06:29.604
But it's time to milk the buffalo.

06:29.729 --> 06:31.396
She only lets me milk her.

06:31.521 --> 06:32.188
It’s fine.

06:32.229 --> 06:33.646
I’ll pick some for you too.

06:33.729 --> 06:34.688
Let's go.

06:34.896 --> 06:36.188
Okay, Auntie. I’ll bring some to your house.

06:36.313 --> 06:37.646
Alright.
- Come on, Taaro.

06:37.729 --> 06:39.188
Yeah, let'go, mom.

07:41.396 --> 07:42.479
Mom!

07:45.229 --> 07:46.438
Move!
- Mom!

07:47.604 --> 07:49.021
Come with me.!
- Mom!

07:49.104 --> 07:51.521
Let my daughter go!

07:51.604 --> 07:54.188
Let go of her!
- Move back!

07:55.438 --> 07:56.271
Leave me!

07:57.396 --> 07:58.313
Let go of my daughter!

07:58.521 --> 08:00.438
Let go of my daughter!
- Let me go!

08:00.521 --> 08:02.188
Let go of her!
- Mom!

08:04.104 --> 08:04.938
Mom!

08:07.313 --> 08:08.229
[Girl screaming]

08:09.896 --> 08:13.396
Let go! Leave my daughter alone!
Let go! - Leave me.

08:13.521 --> 08:15.688
Let go of my daughter!

08:15.813 --> 08:18.521
For God's sake, let her go.
- Tell your villagers...

08:18.604 --> 08:21.896
to return our women
and we’ll return your girl.

08:22.729 --> 08:24.146
Mom!

08:25.104 --> 08:26.146
Come on! Get up!

08:27.021 --> 08:29.646
Move!

08:31.229 --> 08:34.521
[Girl screaming]

08:34.604 --> 08:36.729
Taaro!
- [Girl screaming and crying]

08:36.813 --> 08:41.063
Come on! - Taaro!

08:41.146 --> 08:42.813
Mom!

08:49.229 --> 08:52.188
We did everything we could
to treat Mindo,

08:53.104 --> 08:54.729
but she didn't survive.

08:55.604 --> 08:58.229
No one ever discovered
what happened to Taaro either.

08:58.396 --> 09:01.313
After Mindo passed away,
I feel like half of me is gone, Aunty.

09:02.813 --> 09:03.854
And Taaro...

09:04.813 --> 09:07.354
I raised Taaro with my hands.

09:07.646 --> 09:08.688
Now,

09:09.396 --> 09:11.313
Kesar is all I have left.

09:12.146 --> 09:13.188
He’s all I have.

09:14.938 --> 09:15.979
Alright, dear.

09:16.896 --> 09:18.854
I’m going to check on Kesar.

11:06.021 --> 11:07.688
Grandma...
- Yes?

11:08.104 --> 11:10.646
Sometimes you throw a stick at me... - Yeah, yeah.

11:10.729 --> 11:12.854
and sometimes a shoe...

11:13.021 --> 11:15.146
Whatever you get your hands on,

11:15.229 --> 11:17.104
you throw it right at me!

11:17.646 --> 11:19.354
Yet, it never actually hits me.

11:19.521 --> 11:20.563
Yeah.

11:20.729 --> 11:22.729
Your aim can't be that bad, can it?

11:23.146 --> 11:24.938
Shut up, silly boy!

11:26.146 --> 11:27.479
You keep...

11:28.104 --> 11:30.438
throwing stones at those poor animals.

11:30.521 --> 11:31.896
Don't you have to go to school?

11:32.021 --> 11:33.688
Tie my hair in a bun first, Grandma.

11:33.938 --> 11:34.979
Come here!

11:39.646 --> 11:42.313
I have to keep fixing your hair bun.

11:42.813 --> 11:44.813
You're the one who
messed it up by slapping me.

11:44.896 --> 11:46.771
Yes, I'm the one who
messed it up with a slap.

11:46.813 --> 11:49.063
Who else would do it?
Did a ghost come here?

11:49.896 --> 11:50.938
Now go inside,

11:51.229 --> 11:52.896
grab your bag,

11:54.104 --> 11:56.104
fix your hair, and go to school.

11:56.521 --> 11:57.563
Where is my bag?

11:58.229 --> 11:59.896
Look over there, behind the trunk.

12:09.229 --> 12:10.688
Dear...
- Yes?

12:10.813 --> 12:12.313
Call Jeeti to come with you.

12:12.604 --> 12:14.313
How can she go to school all alone?

12:14.938 --> 12:15.979
Alright, Grandma.

12:18.979 --> 12:20.188
[Men on the bench, muttering]

12:22.896 --> 12:23.938
Jeeti!

12:24.938 --> 12:25.979
Jeeti!

12:26.646 --> 12:27.688
Jeeti!

12:28.938 --> 12:30.354
Come on, let's go to school.

12:30.896 --> 12:31.938
I'm coming, Kesar.

12:36.021 --> 12:37.604
What's the matter, Surjan Singh?

12:37.813 --> 12:39.521
Why are you scratching yourself?
Didn't you bathe this morning?

12:39.604 --> 12:43.146
I went to Zaildar's
house this morning. - Yeah. - [Man riding a bicycle, singing]

12:43.229 --> 12:46.063
He gave me some opium.
- Okay.

12:46.146 --> 12:47.813
I got a little high.

12:48.104 --> 12:50.354
Those thorns must be pricking you.

12:51.229 --> 12:53.021
How are you, Gaama?

12:53.813 --> 12:57.104
You seem rather
high for this early hour.

12:57.729 --> 12:59.188
I swear...

12:59.896 --> 13:00.896
not this morning.

13:01.021 --> 13:03.021
But I had a little to drink last night.

13:04.729 --> 13:06.104
Last night?
- Yeah.

13:06.146 --> 13:07.521
At what time last night?

13:07.604 --> 13:09.188
Around 2:00 or 3:00 AM.

13:09.313 --> 13:11.521
Oh, my God!

13:11.896 --> 13:13.021
Early morning?

13:13.229 --> 13:14.604
At 3:00 AM!

13:14.896 --> 13:16.688
Say something, Bachitar...

13:16.896 --> 13:18.313
he's your friend.

13:18.813 --> 13:20.021
So...

13:20.146 --> 13:21.188
so what?

13:21.729 --> 13:23.354
He drank at 3:00 AM.

13:23.438 --> 13:25.688
It was still nighttime, wasn’t it?

13:25.896 --> 13:26.896
Huh?

13:27.229 --> 13:28.271
Hey, Gaama!

13:28.729 --> 13:29.729
There's one thing.

13:30.313 --> 13:32.896
When they named you Gaama,

13:33.604 --> 13:37.229
your family must have thought,
“When he grows up, our son…”

13:37.604 --> 13:38.896
"...will become a wrestler."

13:39.438 --> 13:40.479
Brother,

13:40.813 --> 13:42.271
I did want to become a wrestler at first.

13:42.313 --> 13:45.479
If only my friend Dharma
hadn't left the village. - Right.

13:45.604 --> 13:50.063
Look, isn’t that Kesar with his schoolbag?

14:01.646 --> 14:03.354
See, Surjan Singh...
- Bless me, Uncle!

14:03.438 --> 14:05.271
Here comes the beloved
child of our village.

14:05.313 --> 14:05.938
Bless me, Uncle!

14:06.021 --> 14:08.021
Greetings! Bless me!

14:08.896 --> 14:10.229
Greetings, uncle! - [Man on the mat praises Kesar to another man]

14:10.313 --> 14:12.229
Greetings, uncle!
- Greetings, dear!

14:12.646 --> 14:14.354
Look at this lovely pair!

14:14.396 --> 14:16.521
Go on, dear, study hard.

14:16.646 --> 14:18.479
You’ll read our letters for us too, right?

14:18.521 --> 14:20.063
I can read letters even now.

14:20.104 --> 14:21.729
Even I can read them. - Well done!

14:21.813 --> 14:24.229
Go on, you little thing. - Well done!

14:24.646 --> 14:26.313
Education...

14:26.396 --> 14:28.729
...benefits everyone.
- You just eat peanuts.

14:28.896 --> 14:30.896
Quit talking about education.

14:30.938 --> 14:33.854
The Zaildar' niece is quite smart.

14:34.729 --> 14:36.229
Gama, what was her name again?

14:36.813 --> 14:37.688
Jeeti!

14:37.813 --> 14:39.688
Ah yes, Jeeti.
- Her father passed away,

14:40.146 --> 14:42.104
so the poor girl came to her mother’s home

14:42.146 --> 14:44.146
with her mother, to the Zaildar’s house.

14:44.229 --> 14:45.479
When writing the fate

14:45.646 --> 14:46.771
of her mother, Naseebo

14:47.021 --> 14:49.146
it seems God completely
held back His hand.

14:50.813 --> 14:52.771
It has been a year
since Dharam Singh left.

14:53.396 --> 14:54.604
Ever since Dharam

14:55.104 --> 14:56.104
left the village,

14:56.729 --> 14:58.813
all the life and joy has
gone from the village.

14:58.896 --> 15:00.104
Only God...

15:01.104 --> 15:02.146
knows His ways.

15:02.313 --> 15:04.271
Who are we to question God and say…

15:04.521 --> 15:05.604
"Don't do it this way,

15:05.646 --> 15:06.688
do it that way."

15:07.813 --> 15:09.688
And then you all complain
that Gama drinks alcohol.

15:09.729 --> 15:13.104
You all made me remember my friend
again first thing in the morning.

15:14.104 --> 15:15.521
Uncle, you already know this

15:15.604 --> 15:18.146
I had my first drink that day,

15:18.896 --> 15:20.688
the day my friend, Dharam

15:21.313 --> 15:23.354
left the village and went away.

15:23.396 --> 15:25.188
Gama, you will never
mend your ways.

15:25.729 --> 15:27.479
And you won’t listen to me anyway. Do as you please.

15:27.521 --> 15:30.354
Gama, what’s the plan today? I’m dying here.

15:31.313 --> 15:32.771
I’ve got it sorted. -
Really?

15:33.354 --> 15:35.188
Yeah!
- Great, let's go.

15:36.729 --> 15:38.729
Just tell me, do you have it or not?

15:41.104 --> 15:42.729
Hold on, hold on.

15:43.896 --> 15:45.104
Look at this.

15:45.729 --> 15:47.854
Wow, it’s homemade!

15:48.229 --> 15:49.229
Hold this.

15:49.521 --> 15:51.229
How are we supposed to drink this?

15:51.896 --> 15:53.771
Don’t worry. I’ve got my ways.

15:53.896 --> 15:55.104
Look at this, a bell.

15:55.396 --> 15:57.354
A bell?

15:58.729 --> 15:59.896
But how do we drink out of this?

16:00.021 --> 16:00.979
Since you stick your finger in everything,

16:01.021 --> 16:02.563
I’ll stick my finger in this bell

16:02.646 --> 16:04.146
and drink it.
Pour it quickly.

16:04.604 --> 16:06.063
Come on!

16:06.438 --> 16:07.396
Someone might come.

16:15.104 --> 16:17.563
Brother, give me some too.

16:22.146 --> 16:23.271
A. - A.

16:23.396 --> 16:24.521
B. - B.

16:24.896 --> 16:26.021
C. - C.

16:26.396 --> 16:27.521
D. - D.

16:27.604 --> 16:28.813
E. - E.

16:28.896 --> 16:29.896
F. -F.

16:30.146 --> 16:31.188
G. G.

16:31.521 --> 16:32.521
H. - H.

16:50.313 --> 16:53.021
Kesar, do you know my
father bought this for me?

17:10.021 --> 17:11.688
Move aside, fatty.

17:14.729 --> 17:15.938
Dear, Jeeti...

17:16.146 --> 17:17.979
you should never
make fun of anyone.

17:18.396 --> 17:20.021
Alright, sir.

17:21.229 --> 17:23.646
15 August 1947.

17:24.313 --> 17:28.104
On this day, India, our country, became independent.

17:28.729 --> 17:29.438
When?

17:29.521 --> 17:32.396
15th August 1947!

17:32.646 --> 17:33.854
Yes!

17:34.104 --> 17:37.188
But didn't the Partition
also happen in 1947?

17:37.313 --> 17:39.271
Who told you
about the Partition?

17:39.604 --> 17:40.938
My grandmother calls it...

17:41.229 --> 17:42.771
the Partition of 1947.

17:43.521 --> 17:45.854
Dear, they're one and the same.

17:45.938 --> 17:48.813
But sir, how could
Partition mean freedom?

17:49.438 --> 17:52.729
Dear, in the books
we call it freedom,

17:53.021 --> 17:55.688
but 1947 also brought great turmoil to Punjab.

17:56.396 --> 17:59.813
Our tears still haven’t dried.

17:59.896 --> 18:02.854
We had to find our freedom in the ruins.

18:12.938 --> 18:13.979
Come on, Kesar.

18:23.021 --> 18:25.688
Please give us some sacred threads, Uncle. - And the money?

18:28.521 --> 18:29.563
Here you go.

18:31.604 --> 18:32.563
Here.

18:33.313 --> 18:34.313
Let's go, Kesar.

19:23.313 --> 19:24.729
What did you wish for, Kesar?

19:25.021 --> 19:26.229
I asked...

19:26.729 --> 19:27.729
God...

19:27.813 --> 19:29.896
to make me grow up quickly.

19:30.021 --> 19:31.521
So that when I grow up,

19:31.604 --> 19:34.104
I can bring my dad back home.

19:34.229 --> 19:36.604
And see my mom smiling again.

19:36.813 --> 19:38.229
What did you wish for, Jeeti?

19:38.646 --> 19:39.771
I asked...

19:40.021 --> 19:42.771
that I could meet my dad just once,

19:42.896 --> 19:44.396
even if it’s only in a dream,

19:44.604 --> 19:45.896
so I could tell him…

19:46.104 --> 19:49.188
that a white scarf
doesn't look good on mom.

19:57.521 --> 19:59.146
There's my handsome boy.

19:59.646 --> 20:01.938
Go put your bag inside.

20:16.104 --> 20:17.438
Here, drink some milk.

20:20.313 --> 20:22.104
Why are you sad today?

20:22.521 --> 20:23.688
Grandma...
- Yes?

20:24.604 --> 20:25.813
This amulet...

20:26.396 --> 20:27.729
did Dad put it on me?

20:28.229 --> 20:29.354
Yes, dear.

20:31.313 --> 20:33.854
Your dad put it on you
during your first Lohri.

20:37.521 --> 20:38.563
Here...

20:42.313 --> 20:43.313
Oh...

20:43.896 --> 20:45.354
This thread needs changing.

20:46.021 --> 20:47.021
You drink your milk,

20:48.021 --> 20:49.604
then take it off and give it to me.

20:49.646 --> 20:51.729
I'll change it's thread.
Okay?

20:51.938 --> 20:53.271
Drink up, my dear.

21:14.021 --> 21:15.396
Buy a pan!

21:15.813 --> 21:17.146
Buy a spatula!

21:17.229 --> 21:18.354
Auntie, you buy something too.

21:18.396 --> 21:20.271
No, don't come near me.

21:20.521 --> 21:22.354
I don't know
where my grandson has gone.

21:22.396 --> 21:23.688
I am worried to death.

21:24.104 --> 21:25.979
I've been looking
for him for so long.

21:39.313 --> 21:40.396
Uncle...

21:40.521 --> 21:42.063
where do you come
from every year?

21:42.104 --> 21:43.229
We came from Rajasthan.

21:43.313 --> 21:45.604
We are descendants of Maharana Pratap.

21:45.896 --> 21:48.021
Ever since our ancestors were driven from their homeland,

21:48.104 --> 21:49.313
we’ve known nothing but hardship.

21:49.396 --> 21:51.229
We have never
returned to our village.

21:51.396 --> 21:53.688
Since then, we’ve been wandering from place to place.

21:56.396 --> 22:05.979
"Life lasts but two days,
no one sees the third."

22:06.104 --> 22:15.979
"I would be left destitute if
you no longer spoke to me."

22:16.396 --> 22:25.854
"Caravans of stars passed overhead,
yet not a single star reached my hand."

22:26.146 --> 22:35.979
"Once your feet enter the city of light,
the village of darkness is left behind."

22:36.146 --> 22:38.938
"Caravans of stars..."

22:47.146 --> 22:48.896
Kesar, run! Grandma is here!

22:49.021 --> 22:51.313
Stop right there! I'll teach you a lesson!

22:51.396 --> 22:53.313
I've searched the whole
village looking for you.

22:53.396 --> 22:54.438
Stop right there!

22:54.813 --> 22:56.229
I've been looking for
you since afternoon.

22:56.313 --> 22:57.979
Stop! Are you
going to stop or not?

22:58.229 --> 22:59.854
Where do you think you’re running?

23:19.521 --> 23:21.313
Don't cry, my dear grandma.

23:21.813 --> 23:22.854
Why shouldn't I cry?

23:23.313 --> 23:25.938
I’ve been searching for you like a madwoman since afternoon.

23:26.896 --> 23:28.104
And now it’s already evening.

23:29.604 --> 23:32.021
When you leave the
house without telling me,

23:32.521 --> 23:34.854
it scares me to death.

23:36.729 --> 23:39.813
I only have two
things left to live for.

23:41.313 --> 23:42.479
One is you...

23:43.438 --> 23:47.938
and the other is this letter from
your dad, sent from Bikaner.

23:57.438 --> 23:58.271
Jeeti!

23:58.729 --> 24:01.063
Are you going to stand in
front of the mirror all day,

24:01.146 --> 24:02.646
or are you going to
do some work?

24:02.729 --> 24:03.729
No, Mom.

24:03.938 --> 24:06.021
I am not doing any work today.

24:15.604 --> 24:16.896
I am heading over to the
neighbors' house.

24:17.021 --> 24:18.813
It's Nimmo's pre-wedding
sangeet today.

24:18.896 --> 24:19.729
Wait...

24:21.896 --> 24:23.563
The wedding is the
day after tomorrow.

24:23.646 --> 24:25.146
Do you really have to wear
your new clothes today?

24:25.229 --> 24:26.771
I am your only daughter, after all.

24:26.896 --> 24:28.979
You can just get me another set
stitched for the wedding. I'm leaving!

24:29.021 --> 24:30.563
Your uncle has
completely spoiled you.

24:30.646 --> 24:32.646
Don't worry, I'll deal
with Uncle myself.

25:32.313 --> 25:39.771
"My hands are adorned with fresh henna,
I can't even manage to cook the lentils"

25:39.938 --> 25:47.188
"You start bickering with me already,
yet people stay together for years"

25:47.313 --> 25:55.354
"My hands are adorned with fresh henna,
I can't even manage to cook the lentils"

26:05.896 --> 26:10.854
"Gold ornaments
and a chariot of wood"

26:10.896 --> 26:15.938
"Our parents have
united us in marriage"

26:17.313 --> 26:21.854
"A new place, a new
home, among new people,

26:21.938 --> 26:24.813
slowly, everything
will fall into place"

26:24.896 --> 26:32.229
"You start bickering with me already,
yet people stay together for years"

26:32.313 --> 26:40.104
"My hands are adorned with fresh henna,
I can't even manage to cook the lentils"

26:50.813 --> 26:55.688
"This is no mere dollhouse game"

26:56.021 --> 27:01.104
"Marriage is the union of two souls"

27:04.896 --> 27:10.521
"This is no mere dollhouse game"

27:11.021 --> 27:16.271
"Marriage is the union of two souls"

27:17.313 --> 27:21.604
"How will I look
beautiful alone?"

27:21.729 --> 27:24.771
"True style and grace come
only when I'm with you"

27:24.896 --> 27:32.229
"You start bickering with me already,
yet people stay together for years"

27:32.313 --> 27:40.396
"My hands are adorned with fresh henna,
I can't even manage to cook the lentils"

27:50.813 --> 27:55.729
"You pull away and distance yourself,
you never stand close to me"

27:55.938 --> 28:00.938
"Though I know your
fights are just pretend"

28:04.938 --> 28:10.771
"You pull away and distance yourself,
you never stand close to me"

28:11.021 --> 28:16.021
"Though I know your
fights are just pretend"

28:17.396 --> 28:24.938
"When you let go of your anger and smile,
I feel like the richest person alive"

28:25.021 --> 28:32.271
"You start bickering with me already,
yet people stay together for years"

28:32.396 --> 28:40.396
"My hands are adorned with fresh henna,
I can't even manage to cook the lentils"

28:53.813 --> 28:57.688
[Gama, Singing: "Don't hurt me,
I won't be able to bear it."]

28:57.813 --> 28:59.396
Wow.

28:59.604 --> 29:01.021
Enough.
- Sister...

29:01.396 --> 29:02.521
I was just starting
to enjoy that song.

29:02.604 --> 29:03.604
Oh, never mind.

29:03.896 --> 29:06.313
Brother, eat your food. It’ll get cold.

29:06.438 --> 29:08.063
Sister, how come

29:08.896 --> 29:09.896
I haven’t seen her today.

29:09.938 --> 29:10.771
She’s gone to the sangeet.

29:10.896 --> 29:12.146
The neighbors’ daughter is getting married.

29:12.229 --> 29:14.188
Oh, I see.
- It's Jeeti's friend, Nimmo...

29:14.396 --> 29:15.271
Yes.
- ...Her wedding.

29:15.729 --> 29:16.563
Sister...

29:17.896 --> 29:20.021
Ever since your
sister-in-law passed away,

29:20.396 --> 29:22.438
Jeeti has been the
absolute life of this house.

29:22.521 --> 29:23.688
Can you believe it, brother…

29:24.229 --> 29:26.813
Our daughters have grown up before we even realized it.

29:27.604 --> 29:29.313
You are right, Gaama.

29:30.313 --> 29:31.771
Uncle...

29:31.896 --> 29:32.813
Greetings, Uncle!

29:32.896 --> 29:34.313
Greetings, dear!

29:34.521 --> 29:36.354
Come, sit down, my child.
Have a seat.

29:37.729 --> 29:38.938
You silly girl...

29:39.438 --> 29:41.479
Who told you to grow up so fast?

29:42.938 --> 29:45.271
Just like Nimmo, you
will leave us too one day.

29:46.521 --> 29:48.438
And you'll take all the
joy of this house with you.

29:48.521 --> 29:50.813
I am not going anywhere
and leaving you behind.

29:51.104 --> 29:51.979
And Uncle,

29:52.813 --> 29:54.521
I really don't like
this habit of yours.

29:54.604 --> 29:56.063
Which habit?

29:56.396 --> 29:58.021
Oh, this one?
- Huh.

29:59.813 --> 30:01.729
You take exactly
after your grandmother.

30:02.104 --> 30:02.938
Of course...

30:03.229 --> 30:05.063
Whose granddaughter
is she, after all?

30:05.313 --> 30:07.354
Are you all trying to
make me cry now?

30:07.396 --> 30:10.063
It seems like out of the whole family,
I'm the only one who's starving.

30:10.104 --> 30:11.688
I am hungry!

30:12.021 --> 30:13.021
Go on, dear.

30:13.146 --> 30:14.438
Serve some food
and bring it over for us.

30:14.521 --> 30:15.646
Alright, Uncle.
- Go on, sister.

30:16.021 --> 30:17.271
Make sure to add a
good amount of Ghee.

30:17.313 --> 30:18.396
Alright, Uncle.
- Jeeti, hurry up.

30:18.438 --> 30:19.896
I’m starving here.

30:20.021 --> 30:21.021
Just wait a minute.

30:21.104 --> 30:22.604
Should I sing one
in the meantime?

30:22.646 --> 30:24.729
Alright fine, go ahead and sing.

30:24.896 --> 30:26.146
[Jeeti talking to her mom in the background]

30:35.646 --> 30:36.521
Kesar...

30:39.604 --> 30:41.354
Where are you getting
all dressed up to go?

30:41.438 --> 30:44.021
I'm going with Mom to
Aunt's house in Takhatpura.

30:44.438 --> 30:46.271
When are you coming back, Jeeti?

30:47.104 --> 30:48.146
I don't know.

30:48.229 --> 30:50.146
How am I going to pass
my time without you here?

30:50.229 --> 30:51.563
The same way I did, Kesar

30:51.646 --> 30:53.354
when you went to your
grandparents' house.

30:53.396 --> 30:56.188
Jeeti, leave me some token
of remembrance before you go.

30:56.438 --> 30:57.271
A keepsake?

30:58.229 --> 30:59.604
What can I give you right now?

30:59.646 --> 31:01.813
I don't have anything
to give as a keepsake.

31:33.896 --> 31:35.313
Curiosity in life

31:35.396 --> 31:37.688
brings a sense of
fulfillment and joy.

31:38.396 --> 31:39.229
But desire

31:39.396 --> 31:40.229
and greed

31:41.313 --> 31:43.396
can lead us astray.

31:46.521 --> 31:49.688
When Emperor Alexander, while
conquering the world,

31:49.813 --> 31:51.271
entered Punjab,

31:51.604 --> 31:53.396
then ahead of his victorious convoy,

31:53.604 --> 31:54.604
on the path, a

31:54.813 --> 31:56.438
ahead of his victorious army.

31:57.021 --> 31:58.813
His soldiers came running

31:59.729 --> 32:01.188
and woke the ascetic.

32:02.146 --> 32:04.813
‘Get up, ascetic!’

32:05.938 --> 32:07.313
Don't you know

32:08.104 --> 32:10.021
That the king who
conquered the world

32:10.438 --> 32:11.646
is passing through here?

32:12.021 --> 32:14.063
Get up and salute the king.

32:14.313 --> 32:16.396
He replied, Why should I get up
and salute?

32:16.729 --> 32:18.146
I am a king myself.

32:18.396 --> 32:20.313
The soldiers started laughing.

32:20.729 --> 32:24.771
They said, Our king became a king
by conquering the entire world.

32:24.896 --> 32:27.646
Where are you a king of?
What have you conquered?

32:28.813 --> 32:30.271
With a very calm demeanor,

32:31.604 --> 32:32.688
that ascetic

32:33.229 --> 32:34.521
replied,

32:36.813 --> 32:38.188
Your king

32:38.729 --> 32:40.854
became a king by
conquering the world.

32:41.104 --> 32:41.979
As for me,

32:42.396 --> 32:45.729
I became a king by conquering
the desire to conquer.

32:47.396 --> 32:48.771
So, dear ones,

32:49.104 --> 32:50.188
desire alone

32:50.521 --> 32:52.771
is the root of all suffering in life.

32:53.813 --> 32:55.521
The person who

32:55.729 --> 32:58.021
has mastered his desires,

32:58.146 --> 33:00.313
is a king, even sitting in his humble hut.

33:00.813 --> 33:03.854
A king of bliss, a king of joy.

33:04.313 --> 33:05.563
Carefree!

33:06.396 --> 33:07.354
Unbothered!

33:19.146 --> 33:20.021
Baba ji,

33:21.396 --> 33:23.896
have you ever met God?

33:24.146 --> 33:26.896
Or do you know where God lives?

33:27.021 --> 33:28.396
Greetings!

33:30.729 --> 33:32.813
You have come at the perfect time.

33:34.104 --> 33:35.896
This boy was asking me

33:37.104 --> 33:38.604
where God lives.

33:49.438 --> 33:51.354
That’s a very important question, my child…

33:51.438 --> 33:54.354
and the answer holds the answers to all our questions.

33:54.396 --> 33:56.146
According to the Greeks,

33:56.396 --> 33:58.729
God created this world
in six days.

33:59.146 --> 34:00.938
On the first day, He created light,

34:01.313 --> 34:03.146
which created day and night.

34:04.021 --> 34:05.354
On the second day, the sky.

34:06.146 --> 34:07.521
On the third day, the earth

34:07.604 --> 34:09.313
and the entire plant kingdom.

34:09.896 --> 34:11.313
On the fourth day, the sun.

34:12.313 --> 34:13.479
On the fifth day, water

34:13.646 --> 34:15.229
and living creatures were made.

34:16.021 --> 34:17.521
On the sixth day, God

34:17.813 --> 34:19.021
created humans.

34:20.104 --> 34:21.479
And on the seventh day?

34:21.729 --> 34:23.188
On the seventh day,

34:23.313 --> 34:25.021
God rested.

34:25.896 --> 34:26.896
Huh...

34:27.813 --> 34:28.729
We too,

34:29.021 --> 34:31.396
leaving aside all our worldly work,

34:31.521 --> 34:34.354
must rest one day a week.

34:34.604 --> 34:35.438
On that day,

34:35.729 --> 34:37.896
we should meditate on God.

34:39.021 --> 34:40.813
True words, baba ji.

34:41.313 --> 34:43.229
That is a very profound thought.

34:44.396 --> 34:46.896
It is said that in the
beginning, humans were alone

34:46.938 --> 34:48.313
and became sad.

34:48.813 --> 34:50.396
To keep them company, God

34:50.604 --> 34:53.271
started playing
hide-and-seek with them.

34:53.938 --> 34:56.396
It was God's turn to hide first,

34:56.729 --> 34:58.563
but because the
world was newly made,

34:58.813 --> 34:59.896
everything was empty.

35:00.396 --> 35:02.604
There was nowhere to hide.

35:02.813 --> 35:03.688
Therefore, God

35:03.896 --> 35:05.313
hid inside the human heart.

35:06.313 --> 35:07.688
To this day, humans

35:07.938 --> 35:09.813
keep searching for
Him on the outside.

35:10.021 --> 35:11.354
But they never see the God

35:11.938 --> 35:13.438
hidden inside them.

35:14.646 --> 35:16.104
God is within us,

35:16.604 --> 35:18.854
and we are searching outside.

35:19.229 --> 35:21.229
If we look for God within ourselves,

35:21.521 --> 35:23.438
He will surely be found.

35:25.104 --> 35:26.563
Sadanand...
- Yes?

35:26.646 --> 35:29.021
Arrange some food for Sai Ji.

35:29.104 --> 35:29.979
Okay, Baba ji.

35:30.146 --> 35:33.229
I seek your permission to leave for Bikaner in the morning.

35:35.021 --> 35:36.521
All right.

35:36.813 --> 35:39.229
I also have to go to
Gorakhpur in the morning.

35:39.313 --> 35:40.979
Baba ji,

35:41.229 --> 35:42.604
please ask Sai ji

35:42.646 --> 35:44.854
if he’ll take me with him to Bikaner.

35:45.896 --> 35:48.729
I want to go look for my dad.

35:58.104 --> 35:59.396
Sai ji,

35:59.813 --> 36:02.813
this poor boy has suffered a terrible tragedy.

36:03.896 --> 36:05.021
During the riots,

36:05.104 --> 36:06.688
his mother passed away

36:07.438 --> 36:08.271
and

36:08.521 --> 36:10.188
his sister was kidnapped.

36:11.396 --> 36:14.938
One day, his father left home and never came back.

36:15.729 --> 36:17.563
I still remember

36:18.146 --> 36:19.771
the last time,

36:20.229 --> 36:21.396
ten years ago,

36:23.021 --> 36:24.021
Kesar's father

36:24.896 --> 36:26.063
met me right here.

36:27.229 --> 36:29.771
Baba Ji, gather a little more straw. The hut is quite big.

36:30.396 --> 36:31.229
Asanand,

36:31.813 --> 36:35.396
send Keshav to get some more lime. I feel as though...

36:35.604 --> 36:37.104
Come in, Mr. Dharam...

36:37.146 --> 36:38.479
Greetings, baba ji!
- Welcome!

36:38.604 --> 36:39.396
Welcome!

36:39.521 --> 36:40.354
Kesar,

36:42.021 --> 36:43.271
come here to me.

36:46.104 --> 36:47.438
Mr. Dharam Singh,

36:48.229 --> 36:49.479
Be strong,

36:50.396 --> 36:51.979
and make a fresh start in life.

36:52.521 --> 36:53.604
The past

36:53.813 --> 36:55.646
can be remembered,

36:56.104 --> 36:58.396
but it cannot be lived in.

36:59.521 --> 37:01.021
Yes, Baba Ji.

37:01.813 --> 37:05.396
I'm thinking of going to
Bikaner and buy some land.

37:07.521 --> 37:09.313
My heart has been very heavy lately.

37:11.521 --> 37:14.271
Sadness is not a bad thing,
Mr. Dharam Singh.

37:15.021 --> 37:17.688
In fact, it connects us to our life

37:18.604 --> 37:21.396
and our true reality.

37:22.229 --> 37:23.063
Baba ji...

37:24.313 --> 37:25.521
Why do you

37:25.729 --> 37:28.063
meditate for forty days every year?

37:34.604 --> 37:35.979
Kesar, my child,

37:36.896 --> 37:39.354
between humans and God,

37:39.813 --> 37:42.604
perhaps there is a
distance of just forty days.

37:44.604 --> 37:46.896
Between our history and mythology,

37:47.104 --> 37:49.396
forty days hold great significance.

37:50.396 --> 37:52.313
If we talk about
the world of religion,

37:52.646 --> 37:55.021
there are forty stanzas
of Sri Anand Sahib.

37:55.813 --> 37:58.271
The forty hymns of Bhai Gurdas.

37:59.021 --> 38:01.604
We read the Hanuman
Chalisa as well.

38:02.604 --> 38:05.396
Jesus Christ
fasted for forty days.

38:06.896 --> 38:08.271
In the Nath tradition,

38:08.729 --> 38:10.813
there is a forty-day trial.

38:11.813 --> 38:13.104
A Sufi

38:13.646 --> 38:15.813
observes a forty-day retreat

38:16.104 --> 38:18.521
to realize the truth of Allah.

38:20.021 --> 38:21.354
Even our mothers...

38:21.813 --> 38:25.188
rest for forty days
after giving birth.

38:29.104 --> 38:30.271
And today,

38:31.646 --> 38:33.771
if we speak in scientific
terms, my child,

38:34.313 --> 38:35.563
science itself says

38:36.313 --> 38:39.063
that to break an old habit

38:39.313 --> 38:41.104
or cultivate a new one,

38:41.604 --> 38:43.979
it takes forty days.

38:45.021 --> 38:46.146
That is why, my child,

38:46.521 --> 38:48.438
I go away for forty days every year

38:48.813 --> 38:50.771
to perform meditation.

38:51.021 --> 38:52.313
So that I can

38:52.729 --> 38:54.604
revive my soul.

39:00.438 --> 39:01.854
Mr. Dharam Singh,

39:02.604 --> 39:05.021
your son's abilities indicate

39:06.021 --> 39:08.021
that he is destined to bring honor to your family,

39:08.146 --> 39:09.813
and become a man of righteous action.

39:12.521 --> 39:13.771
Kesar, my child,

39:15.021 --> 39:17.813
now you are the only
support for your father.

39:21.104 --> 39:22.521
May God grant you

39:23.146 --> 39:25.063
a long life.

39:27.729 --> 39:29.313
Baba ji, I can never

39:29.521 --> 39:31.146
forget that day.

39:39.438 --> 39:42.104
'When we were heading
back home after meeting you...'

39:52.521 --> 39:53.896
Brother, I am going to the field.

39:54.021 --> 39:55.521
I will be a little late today.

39:55.604 --> 39:56.396
Okay, Gama.

39:57.146 --> 39:58.396
What happened?

39:58.604 --> 39:59.729
You look sad.

40:03.146 --> 40:05.188
Brother, should I come along?

40:07.229 --> 40:08.646
No, Gamme.

40:08.896 --> 40:10.771
You go to the fields by yourself today.

40:21.896 --> 40:23.313
Are the father and son back?

40:23.521 --> 40:25.188
Come right over here.

40:26.396 --> 40:29.229
I have been waiting for so
long after cooking the food.

40:29.896 --> 40:31.229
Where are you coming from?

40:31.313 --> 40:33.479
The head monk of the hut

40:33.729 --> 40:35.479
has to go on a forty-day journey.

40:35.896 --> 40:37.813
We had gone to meet him.

40:39.938 --> 40:41.521
You did a good thing.

40:42.104 --> 40:42.938
Kesar,

40:43.313 --> 40:45.688
you're becoming far too
attached to the monks.

40:46.229 --> 40:47.396
I hope it doesn't happen

40:47.438 --> 40:49.104
you don't end up leaving with them.

40:49.896 --> 40:51.563
Mom.
- Hmm?

40:51.729 --> 40:54.354
Baba Ji has advised me
to make a fresh start in life.

40:54.438 --> 40:57.938
I'm thinking of going to Bikaner to check out some land,

40:58.229 --> 41:00.521
We could sell our six acres here

41:00.646 --> 41:02.021
and buy more land there.

41:02.313 --> 41:03.313
A new place,

41:03.521 --> 41:04.479
a new life…

41:04.521 --> 41:06.021
but if you ask me honestly, my child,

41:06.104 --> 41:08.896
just hearing the name Bikaner frightens me.

41:13.313 --> 41:14.146
Dharam Singh

41:14.438 --> 41:15.938
left the house in such a way

41:16.521 --> 41:18.396
that he never returned home again.

41:19.813 --> 41:21.979
Bikaner is very far away,

41:22.104 --> 41:23.938
It’s a forty-day journey.

41:24.146 --> 41:25.729
Full of sand and sharp roads,

41:26.229 --> 41:28.063
and the whole journey on foot.

41:28.146 --> 41:30.271
Even water will be
hard to find on the way.

41:42.313 --> 41:43.521
How many times have I told you

41:43.604 --> 41:45.021
to be home before dark?

41:46.104 --> 41:47.729
I went to the hermitage, grandma.

41:59.521 --> 42:00.813
Here, eat your food.

42:11.521 --> 42:12.854
Grandma...
- Huh?

42:14.396 --> 42:16.104
How far away is Bikaner?

42:16.521 --> 42:18.104
What do you have to do with it?

42:18.729 --> 42:21.688
Don't even mention the name
of that place in front of me.

42:44.521 --> 42:47.146
Grandma, there was something
I wanted to talk to you about.

42:47.229 --> 42:48.979
We will talk in the morning.

42:49.438 --> 42:51.646
Now go to sleep peacefully.

42:52.021 --> 42:54.271
It's been so many days
since you slept well.

42:56.813 --> 42:59.604
I even put the quilts out in the sun today.

42:59.729 --> 43:01.479
Finish your dinner and come inside.

43:01.813 --> 43:03.563
I’ll get your quilt ready for you.

43:06.521 --> 43:09.688
Did Dad put this amulet on me?

43:10.021 --> 43:10.854
Yes, dear.

43:11.021 --> 43:13.604
Your dad bought this
for you on your first Lohri.

43:18.813 --> 43:21.896
Baba Ji, won't his
family be worried?

43:23.729 --> 43:25.854
His grandma must
be a little concerned.

43:26.104 --> 43:27.438
I'll come, Sai Ji.

43:27.729 --> 43:30.438
Alright son, come early
in the morning.

43:30.521 --> 43:32.229
We'll leave first
thing in the morning.

43:33.604 --> 43:34.104
Okay.

43:34.146 --> 43:41.063
"Sometimes lost in a dream,
sometimes appearing before the eyes."

43:41.146 --> 43:48.104
"Sometimes vanishing like vapor,
sometimes settling like sand."

43:48.229 --> 43:55.396
"The one whose name beats in your every
breath, and defines your identity"

43:55.521 --> 44:02.229
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

44:02.396 --> 44:09.563
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

44:10.021 --> 44:17.063
"You, O mortal, are just a guest.
You, O mortal, are just a guest."

44:17.229 --> 44:24.021
"You, O mortal, are just a guest.
You, O mortal, are just a guest."

44:24.396 --> 44:30.854
"The heart is His, the life is His,
He is everywhere."

44:30.938 --> 44:38.063
"Just call out to Him once,
and He arrives like an echo."

44:38.146 --> 44:41.896
"He arrives like an echo."

44:55.896 --> 45:02.979
"This unique, whimsical love
has an eternal bond with the light."

45:03.021 --> 45:10.063
"The memory of a separated beloved
becomes the path to finding oneself."

45:10.146 --> 45:16.979
"Why does the dark kohl in
one's eyes masquerade as tears?"

45:17.104 --> 45:24.271
"Why is a land infested with serpents
hailed as the realm of lovers?"

45:24.396 --> 45:31.313
"Man remains heedless and unaware,
unable to unravel the riddle within."

45:31.396 --> 45:38.438
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

45:38.604 --> 45:46.063
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

46:14.229 --> 46:21.188
"Even the burning warmth of restlessness
has its own rhythm and purpose."

46:21.313 --> 46:28.271
"To guide and give it direction
is a person's foremost duty."

46:28.313 --> 46:35.396
"Bowing before the Almighty Power,
and enduring the test of patience..."

46:35.521 --> 46:42.563
"Look straight into the eyes of
pain, and face it with courage."

46:42.729 --> 46:49.604
"Sages and mystics have said,
this separation is supreme."

46:49.729 --> 46:56.771
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

46:56.896 --> 46:59.313
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal,

46:59.521 --> 47:01.604
You are here.
- Yes, Sai Ji.

47:01.646 --> 47:03.938
"are just a guest."

47:04.396 --> 47:07.396
"You, O mortal, are just a guest."

47:07.521 --> 47:10.896
"You, O mortal, are just a guest."

47:12.021 --> 47:14.688
Baba Ji, greetings.
- Live long, my child!

47:16.313 --> 47:18.104
My child, during the journey

47:18.604 --> 47:20.354
you must stay with Sai ji,

47:20.813 --> 47:23.438
and obey his every command. - Ok!

47:23.604 --> 47:25.771
Whenever there is
a moment of trouble

47:26.396 --> 47:28.229
offer a prayer to God.

47:28.813 --> 47:29.521
Yes, Baba Ji.

47:29.604 --> 47:31.479
Whenever you need me

47:33.104 --> 47:34.771
I’ll always be with you.

47:46.813 --> 47:53.688
"No doubt there is pain,
no doubt the wound is fresh."

47:53.896 --> 47:57.354
"What was meant to
happen has happened"

47:57.521 --> 48:00.854
"now step into
the trial of fire."

48:01.021 --> 48:04.396
"Rise above the
quicksand, dear one."

48:04.521 --> 48:08.104
"Stars shine bright
in the night sky."

48:08.146 --> 48:15.146
"Splash water on your eyes to wake
up, and guard the door to your heart."

48:15.229 --> 48:22.188
"By embracing mortality with
love, living has become simple."

48:22.313 --> 48:29.271
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

48:29.396 --> 48:36.563
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

48:37.104 --> 48:40.063
"You, O mortal, are just a guest."

48:40.146 --> 48:43.688
"You, O mortal, are just a guest."

48:43.813 --> 48:47.104
"You, O mortal, are just a guest."

48:47.229 --> 48:51.146
"You, O mortal, are just a guest."

49:04.938 --> 49:12.021
"With eyes full of innocence and
purity, someone dances upon thorns."

49:12.104 --> 49:19.271
"Feet have written upon the earth,
a true travelogue of existence."

49:19.313 --> 49:22.854
"Those who drank
the poison of this world,"

49:22.896 --> 49:26.313
"now happily feast on
their beloved's love."

49:26.396 --> 49:29.938
"Those who sow shade
with their own hands,"

49:30.021 --> 49:33.521
"never fear the fiercest sun."

49:33.604 --> 49:40.479
"Neither take pride in silk,
nor lament the coarseness of rags."

49:40.521 --> 49:47.563
"In this dwelling called life,
you, O mortal, are but a guest."

49:47.896 --> 49:51.604
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

49:51.813 --> 49:53.438
Greetings, grandma!

49:53.813 --> 49:56.354
Greetings, dear!
What brings you up so early?

49:57.021 --> 49:59.729
Grandma, didn't Kesar come to tend to the animals today?

50:00.104 --> 50:03.396
He left before I even woke up this morning.

50:04.396 --> 50:06.313
And these buffaloes are also causing a fuss.

50:06.896 --> 50:09.479
You never know what he will do next.

50:11.146 --> 50:12.896
Anyway, is everything well?

50:13.521 --> 50:14.854
Yes, grandma.

50:15.021 --> 50:17.396
Grandma, I'll come over once I'm done with the housework.

50:17.438 --> 50:20.938
Don't worry. He's gone out at dawn plenty of times before.

50:23.438 --> 50:26.979
"My heart, one day I will heal"

50:27.021 --> 50:30.438
"though the rhythm and
melody are scattered right now."

50:30.604 --> 50:34.063
"The relationships
formed in this lifetime,"

50:34.146 --> 50:37.521
"who knows from which past
birth they connect us."

50:37.604 --> 50:44.646
"By divine alignment, they meet, those
who live far apart and separate."

50:44.729 --> 50:51.854
"No one knows who, when, or in
what form you might cross paths."

50:52.104 --> 50:58.813
"Whatever is happening,
it is all accepted."

50:58.938 --> 51:06.021
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

51:06.146 --> 51:13.521
"In this house of life,
you, O mortal, are just a guest."

51:13.813 --> 51:20.563
"You, O mortal, are just a guest."

51:20.896 --> 51:27.813
"You, O mortal, are just a guest.
You, O mortal, are just a guest."

51:41.438 --> 51:44.563
Any news about Kesar,
Grandma? - No, dear.

51:45.604 --> 51:47.604
I don't know where he's gone.

51:48.729 --> 51:50.729
I'm getting very worried.

51:52.604 --> 51:55.688
Don't worry.
Kesar will come back.

51:55.896 --> 51:57.729
Let's go to the hermitage.

51:57.938 --> 52:01.354
Oh my! I didn't think of that.

52:01.813 --> 52:04.438
Baba Ji must know something.

52:06.729 --> 52:09.021
He cares for Kesar very much.

52:09.604 --> 52:11.396
Stay strong, grandma.

52:11.938 --> 52:13.563
Stay strong?

52:14.646 --> 52:17.438
I've been holding myself
together all this time.

52:18.813 --> 52:21.104
He's the only
keepsake I have left.

52:23.813 --> 52:27.229
Now tell me, whose shoulder am I supposed to lean on for strength?

52:28.813 --> 52:32.021
Tell me. Tell me...

52:32.104 --> 52:38.396
"In the house of life,
O human, you are just a guest"

52:38.646 --> 52:46.021
"In the house of life,
O human, you are just a guest"

52:46.229 --> 52:52.854
"The heart is His, the life is His,
He is everywhere"

52:53.021 --> 52:56.313
"Just call out to Him once"

52:56.396 --> 52:59.938
"He manifests as an echo"

53:00.438 --> 53:03.479
"The heart is His,
the life is His"

53:03.521 --> 53:06.563
Without a boatman, we cannot cross.

53:06.938 --> 53:09.896
It seems we'll have to stay here
for the night.

53:12.604 --> 53:13.813
Yes, Sai Ji.

53:14.229 --> 53:18.646
"He manifests as an echo"

53:21.396 --> 53:23.688
A person learns through experience.

53:24.229 --> 53:26.188
And a journey is just the same.

53:26.938 --> 53:28.604
Wait, Sai Ji.

53:30.313 --> 53:31.271
Let me massage your feet.

53:31.396 --> 53:32.729
No, no, my boy.

53:32.813 --> 53:34.646
You must be tired too, let it be.

53:34.896 --> 53:36.063
No, no Sai Ji, I...

53:36.104 --> 53:38.479
I used to massage my grandma's
feet back in the village too.

53:38.604 --> 53:41.021
Well done!
Bless you...

53:41.146 --> 53:43.729
Who gave you the name Kesar?

53:45.229 --> 53:47.021
Dad did.

53:47.521 --> 53:50.604
Your father gave you a beautiful name, just like you.

53:51.229 --> 53:52.063
My child,

53:52.104 --> 53:54.604
your elders have
taught you great values.

53:54.938 --> 53:57.271
One day, just like your name Kesar,

53:57.521 --> 53:59.604
you will spread your fragrance wherever you go.

54:03.438 --> 54:04.604
Here, son.

54:04.938 --> 54:07.021
Keep this stone in your pocket...

54:07.521 --> 54:08.813
and take care of it.

54:10.729 --> 54:12.229
And the second stone

54:12.438 --> 54:14.896
I will give you when
the journey ends.

54:15.438 --> 54:18.271
If you ever get confused in life

54:18.396 --> 54:19.938
and can't find a way forward

54:20.229 --> 54:22.313
hold both stones
in your hands

54:22.604 --> 54:23.688
and meditate.

54:23.729 --> 54:26.313
God will guide you Himself.

54:29.896 --> 54:31.021
Yes, Sai Ji.

55:16.604 --> 55:17.938
No, Kesar, dear.

55:18.604 --> 55:20.438
You shouldn't disrespect your hair.

55:22.021 --> 55:23.021
Take this pouch.

55:23.104 --> 55:24.771
Keep your fallen hair in it.

55:24.938 --> 55:28.229
At the end of our journey,
we will offer these to the sacred fire.

55:30.021 --> 55:31.229
Alright, Sai Ji.

55:48.813 --> 55:50.729
Dear, pack up all the belongings.
- Yes.

55:51.313 --> 55:53.021
The boatman is waiting for us.

55:54.146 --> 55:56.063
Let's go.
- I'm coming.

56:28.521 --> 56:29.646
Greetings, baba ji!

56:30.313 --> 56:31.188
Greetings!

56:31.979 --> 56:33.938
Baba ji, where are you going?

56:34.104 --> 56:35.729
We need to go to Bikaner.

56:36.896 --> 56:38.021
Sai Ji,

56:38.313 --> 56:39.438
about me

56:40.396 --> 56:42.021
and about my family

56:42.396 --> 56:44.021
you already know everything now.

56:44.229 --> 56:47.229
Will you tell me something
about yourself too?

56:47.521 --> 56:49.313
How did you become an ascetic?

56:49.604 --> 56:50.813
When did you choose this path?

57:08.896 --> 57:10.563
Gurdit, my son!
- Yes, dad?

57:10.813 --> 57:13.646
Son, today is our turn. We
have to water the fields tonight.

57:13.729 --> 57:14.313
Alright, dad.

57:14.396 --> 57:16.146
Hey, are you listening?

57:16.313 --> 57:17.896
The sun is right overhead.

57:18.021 --> 57:20.396
Come on, both of you — come and eat.

57:20.604 --> 57:22.438
Once you head to the fields, you won't be back anytime soon.

57:22.521 --> 57:23.688
We're coming, dear.

57:23.896 --> 57:25.271
Serve the food.

57:28.104 --> 57:29.188
Maano!

57:29.896 --> 57:31.104
Come here, dear.

57:32.313 --> 57:34.313
Grandma, I'm coming!

57:36.813 --> 57:38.188
Greetings, Chief!

57:38.604 --> 57:41.146
What's the matter, gentleman?
Is everything alright?

57:41.729 --> 57:42.521
Chief,

57:42.813 --> 57:45.313
the conditions in the country
are not good at all right now.

57:45.396 --> 57:47.354
The partition of the country
has been announced.

57:47.396 --> 57:48.979
Hatred and killings

57:49.313 --> 57:50.896
are continuously increasing.

57:51.396 --> 57:54.438
Sikh families are no longer safe
in this area at all.

57:54.604 --> 57:55.729
Is our village also unsafe, sir?

57:56.104 --> 57:57.354
Yes, Chief.

57:57.604 --> 57:59.979
That's why I thought I should come and warn you myself.

58:00.021 --> 58:01.313
Chief, you and your family

58:01.521 --> 58:05.146
must be ready to leave by tonight, or tomorrow morning at the latest.

58:05.604 --> 58:07.604
Prepare to leave for Amritsar.

58:08.146 --> 58:09.271
Now, please excuse me.

58:09.813 --> 58:11.938
I must warn the neighboring village as well.

58:12.021 --> 58:12.896
Thank you, sir.

58:28.729 --> 58:29.813
Village head, Uncle!

58:30.729 --> 58:31.938
Chief!

58:32.229 --> 58:34.729
Chief!
Chief!

58:34.938 --> 58:37.021
There's been an attack in Bhagwanpur.

58:37.104 --> 58:39.396
They are dragging Sikhs out
of their homes and killing them.

58:39.521 --> 58:40.646
Oh God!

58:43.229 --> 58:46.521
We have to catch the train to Amritsar tonight.

58:46.604 --> 58:49.146
Bishna, hurry and tell the villagers

58:49.729 --> 58:51.063
to leave the livestock behind

58:51.104 --> 58:52.688
take only essential belongings,
and reach the station.

58:52.729 --> 58:54.813
Okay, uncle.
- Yes, go.

58:56.104 --> 58:57.813
Pack the essential things.

58:58.021 --> 58:59.479
We will have to leave right now.

58:59.604 --> 59:00.188
Okay.

59:00.313 --> 59:01.521
I will go tell Rashid

59:01.938 --> 59:03.021
until we return,

59:03.313 --> 59:04.688
he can look after the livestock.

59:04.813 --> 59:06.396
Okay, Dad.
- I'll be right back.

01:00:39.813 --> 01:00:41.438
Malkit Kaur!

01:00:41.646 --> 01:00:43.063
Gurdit, son!

01:00:45.229 --> 01:00:47.313
Maano!
Maano!

01:01:33.271 --> 01:01:35.063
Since that day,

01:01:35.771 --> 01:01:39.313
I have never stayed in one place
for more than a day or two.

01:01:40.479 --> 01:01:43.354
Now, I find peace only in wandering.

01:01:51.479 --> 01:01:52.646
Alright, Sai Ji.

01:02:08.313 --> 01:02:09.521
Sai ji,

01:02:10.688 --> 01:02:12.271
how did you endure

01:02:13.104 --> 01:02:14.229
so much sorrow?

01:02:14.604 --> 01:02:15.604
Kesar,

01:02:16.021 --> 01:02:18.229
neither does the ocean
run dry of its water,

01:02:18.313 --> 01:02:20.688
sorrow never leaves our lives.

01:02:20.896 --> 01:02:23.229
Pain is the medicine, and comfort is the disease.

01:02:23.479 --> 01:02:24.729
And child,

01:02:24.896 --> 01:02:26.521
sorrow is our companion

01:02:26.896 --> 01:02:29.354
that keeps us rooted in our soil

01:02:29.813 --> 01:02:32.479
and reminds us of our place in life.

01:02:35.188 --> 01:02:36.396
Alright, Sai Ji.

01:02:37.188 --> 01:02:40.563
Kesar, there is a tale
of Gautama Buddha

01:02:41.104 --> 01:02:41.938
in which

01:02:42.396 --> 01:02:45.521
a mother lost her
two-year-old child

01:02:46.104 --> 01:02:47.979
and she went to Gautama Buddha

01:02:48.396 --> 01:02:49.271
to plead with him

01:02:49.771 --> 01:02:52.229
to bring her child back to life.

01:02:52.479 --> 01:02:54.271
Gautama Buddha said,

01:02:54.604 --> 01:02:55.479
“Go, mother,

01:02:55.813 --> 01:02:57.813
and bring a pinch of salt

01:02:58.188 --> 01:03:00.854
from a house where no one has ever died.

01:03:01.479 --> 01:03:04.563
Sai Ji, did she ever find a house
where no one had ever died?

01:03:05.021 --> 01:03:06.021
Kesar,

01:03:06.313 --> 01:03:08.229
there is no home in this world

01:03:08.479 --> 01:03:11.313
that is spared from
sorrow and death.

01:03:11.771 --> 01:03:14.104
So, the mother returned, disappointed.

01:03:14.479 --> 01:03:15.354
And then…

01:03:16.604 --> 01:03:18.396
what did Gautama Buddha say?

01:03:18.896 --> 01:03:20.896
The Buddha said, "Mother,

01:03:21.396 --> 01:03:23.813
as long as there is life, there will be sorrow too.

01:03:24.688 --> 01:03:25.479
Only

01:03:25.979 --> 01:03:27.604
the desire for constant happiness

01:03:27.896 --> 01:03:30.313
is the root cause of our suffering.

01:03:33.104 --> 01:03:34.479
Yes, Sai Ji.

01:03:44.604 --> 01:03:45.688
Son,

01:03:46.104 --> 01:03:47.521
is Baba Ji here?

01:03:48.104 --> 01:03:49.563
Swami Ji Maharaj?
- Yes.

01:03:49.604 --> 01:03:51.229
The one who is the head here.

01:03:51.313 --> 01:03:52.646
Yes, the head saint here.

01:03:52.896 --> 01:03:54.896
He left for Gorakhpur
yesterday morning.

01:03:55.396 --> 01:03:57.854
He won’t be back
for another 40 days.

01:04:31.188 --> 01:04:32.021
Kesar,

01:04:33.979 --> 01:04:36.479
this place is truly heartwarming.

01:04:36.813 --> 01:04:40.188
We shall rest here for the night.
- Yes, Sai Ji.

01:04:40.604 --> 01:04:43.438
Baba Ji, the villagers don't sow crops
around this tree.

01:04:43.521 --> 01:04:45.854
They say it's haunted by spirits.

01:04:48.688 --> 01:04:51.854
Then the night here will
be even more serene.

01:05:01.604 --> 01:05:02.646
Come on, young man,

01:05:03.188 --> 01:05:04.771
let’s gather some firewood.

01:05:05.479 --> 01:05:06.604
Yes, Sai Ji.

01:05:07.979 --> 01:05:09.479
It’s getting dark.

01:05:10.688 --> 01:05:11.813
Yes, Sai Ji.

01:05:26.521 --> 01:05:27.771
Gaame.

01:05:28.313 --> 01:05:29.688
Yes, Aunty?

01:05:33.896 --> 01:05:34.729
Dear,

01:05:35.688 --> 01:05:37.896
Kesar left home yesterday and hasn't come back.

01:05:38.688 --> 01:05:40.229
Yes, Jitti told me.

01:05:41.021 --> 01:05:43.188
I went and checked all
the fields yesterday as well.

01:05:43.271 --> 01:05:44.938
I also went to the other side.

01:05:45.396 --> 01:05:47.313
Go to Garna
Sahib Gurudwara,

01:05:47.813 --> 01:05:49.354
Kesar often goes there as well.

01:05:49.479 --> 01:05:50.438
Ok, Aunty.

01:05:50.813 --> 01:05:52.688
I've given the buffaloes some water

01:05:53.021 --> 01:05:54.813
and I've given them fodder too.

01:05:55.771 --> 01:05:58.729
If you need anything else,
just let me know.

01:05:59.521 --> 01:06:01.063
Who else would I go to, son?

01:06:02.104 --> 01:06:03.479
Just as Dharma is to me,

01:06:04.479 --> 01:06:06.438
you are the same to me.

01:06:08.771 --> 01:06:09.604
Dear,

01:06:10.604 --> 01:06:12.188
you should give up alcohol now.

01:06:12.771 --> 01:06:13.979
Aunty,

01:06:15.021 --> 01:06:17.271
I will quit drinking on the day...

01:06:18.104 --> 01:06:19.229
the day

01:06:19.771 --> 01:06:22.271
my brother Dharma returns to this house.

01:06:24.771 --> 01:06:27.438
Okay, Aunty, I'll go to the Gurudwara.

01:07:14.688 --> 01:07:15.688
Kesar,

01:07:16.396 --> 01:07:17.979
aren’t you scared?

01:07:19.604 --> 01:07:22.938
Yes, Sai Ji, I am a little scared.

01:07:23.604 --> 01:07:25.313
This place is just like that.

01:07:26.521 --> 01:07:29.938
And Sai Ji, what if some wild
animal comes here at night?

01:07:30.688 --> 01:07:33.438
Kesar, all animals
stay away from fire.

01:07:34.021 --> 01:07:36.354
That is why we have lit this fire.

01:07:37.188 --> 01:07:38.396
Your

01:07:38.604 --> 01:07:41.396
your fear will eventually
fade away, just like darkness.

01:07:41.688 --> 01:07:43.813
And whatever it
is you’re afraid of,

01:07:44.021 --> 01:07:45.979
you should confront it at least once.

01:07:46.979 --> 01:07:50.271
Otherwise, that fear will
stay with you for a lifetime.

01:08:58.104 --> 01:08:59.563
Greetings, Swami Ji.

01:09:00.104 --> 01:09:00.896
God bless you.

01:09:01.021 --> 01:09:04.521
Swami Ji, may I stay
here with you all tonight?

01:09:04.688 --> 01:09:06.938
We are all travellers on this earth.

01:09:07.479 --> 01:09:10.271
How can one traveller command another?

01:09:10.688 --> 01:09:11.938
Tie up your camel

01:09:11.979 --> 01:09:13.354
and come sit by the fire.

01:09:13.396 --> 01:09:14.688
Thank you, Swami Ji.

01:09:28.813 --> 01:09:31.479
Here, have some chickpeas.
You must be hungry.

01:09:31.604 --> 01:09:33.146
No, Swami Ji.

01:09:33.396 --> 01:09:36.188
I have plenty of flatbread
and chutney with me.

01:09:40.188 --> 01:09:42.146
Please, have some.

01:09:46.896 --> 01:09:47.813
Waheguru!

01:09:47.896 --> 01:09:49.104
Thank God.

01:09:49.188 --> 01:09:50.896
Here, son. Have some too.

01:10:04.188 --> 01:10:05.021
Sai Ji,

01:10:06.396 --> 01:10:08.396
I have been noticing all the way.

01:10:09.104 --> 01:10:11.521
You barely have enough for yourself

01:10:12.021 --> 01:10:14.604
yet you still offer
food to everyone.

01:10:15.271 --> 01:10:17.813
What if we run short
of food ourselves?

01:10:17.896 --> 01:10:19.938
There is an ancient tale.

01:10:20.604 --> 01:10:22.271
A king once proclaimed

01:10:23.271 --> 01:10:26.729
that, the following morning, he would
distribute gold coins among his subjects.

01:10:28.021 --> 01:10:29.396
And as dawn broke,

01:10:29.688 --> 01:10:32.021
a long queue formed
outside the palace gates.

01:10:32.313 --> 01:10:34.604
The king continued
distributing the coins one by one,

01:10:34.688 --> 01:10:36.563
and the queue
kept growing longer.

01:10:36.979 --> 01:10:41.188
But a poor man standing at the very end of
the line kept yielding his place to others

01:10:41.271 --> 01:10:43.479
and repeatedly moved
behind them again.

01:10:45.021 --> 01:10:48.104
The king, disguised, stood beside him and asked,

01:10:49.479 --> 01:10:50.646
"Good man,

01:10:50.979 --> 01:10:53.313
why are you giving your
turn to someone else?

01:10:53.771 --> 01:10:56.479
Once the coins run out,
you’ll get nothing.

01:10:56.771 --> 01:10:58.479
Blessed is our generous king.

01:10:58.771 --> 01:11:00.271
The king has coins to give away,

01:11:00.688 --> 01:11:02.854
and I have my turn to give away.

01:11:03.313 --> 01:11:05.729
The king earns merit in his own way,

01:11:06.104 --> 01:11:08.354
and I earn mine my way. - Wah.

01:11:09.979 --> 01:11:10.771
So, Kesar,

01:11:11.188 --> 01:11:14.979
nature never lets us go without what we need to live.

01:11:15.479 --> 01:11:17.896
The givers grow weary in their giving,

01:11:18.479 --> 01:11:20.688
while the receivers feast forevermore,
through ages upon ages.

01:11:21.896 --> 01:11:24.438
Wah! Very well said!

01:11:27.188 --> 01:11:32.813
"A lofty status is not
what truly matters"

01:11:33.188 --> 01:11:38.604
"What matters is
having a noble heart"

01:11:39.271 --> 01:11:44.604
"The one who stays grounded
remains on the right path"

01:11:45.188 --> 01:11:51.729
"For in the end, we
all return to dust"

01:11:52.479 --> 01:11:57.938
"Bathe at every
sacred pilgrimage site"

01:11:58.104 --> 01:12:03.646
"Observe vigils,
meditate, and keep fasts"

01:12:04.021 --> 01:12:08.979
"Perform service, spiritual practice,
and countless acts of charity"

01:12:10.896 --> 01:12:15.021
Swami Ji, thanks to you,
the night passed pleasantly.

01:12:16.021 --> 01:12:19.354
Otherwise, this place
was rather frightening.

01:12:19.813 --> 01:12:22.271
Because you were here,

01:12:22.604 --> 01:12:24.354
I even slept peacefully last night.

01:12:24.479 --> 01:12:27.938
Good man, shared troubles
and shared sorrows

01:12:28.188 --> 01:12:30.354
always feel lighter.

01:12:30.688 --> 01:12:33.771
Now, with your permission,
I'll continue my journey.

01:12:34.979 --> 01:12:37.271
May Almighty ensure your
journey is successful.

01:12:38.396 --> 01:12:39.563
Goodbye.

01:13:22.271 --> 01:13:27.604
"In a bundle of sorrow,
I carry a lifetime of tears"

01:13:28.104 --> 01:13:34.438
"My beloved has wandered away,
lost in this world"

01:13:39.896 --> 01:13:45.188
"In a bundle of sorrow,
I carry a lifetime of tears"

01:13:45.521 --> 01:13:51.104
"My beloved has wandered
away, lost in this world"

01:13:51.396 --> 01:13:56.896
"Without you by my side,
I feel I am slowly losing my mind"

01:13:56.979 --> 01:14:02.771
"Come here, you little lost bird,
let me take care of you"

01:14:02.896 --> 01:14:08.563
"Come here, you little lost bird,
let me take care of you"

01:14:37.979 --> 01:14:43.563
"Though I breathe, I no longer feel alive"

01:14:44.104 --> 01:14:48.979
"The bird never returned before nightfall"

01:14:49.104 --> 01:14:55.396
"Though I breathe, I no longer feel alive"

01:14:55.771 --> 01:15:01.188
"The bird never returned before nightfall"

01:15:01.604 --> 01:15:07.438
"My eyes bear witness to our love"

01:15:07.604 --> 01:15:13.313
"My eyes have not known
a single moment of rest"

01:15:13.479 --> 01:15:18.813
"Tell me now, which pearl
am I meant to seek?"

01:15:18.979 --> 01:15:24.604
"Come here, you little lost bird,
let me take care of you"

01:15:24.771 --> 01:15:30.604
"Come here, you little lost bird,
let me take care of you"

01:15:30.688 --> 01:15:36.771
"Come here, you little lost bird,
let me take care of you"

01:15:42.021 --> 01:15:46.521
Son, this tree is centuries old.

01:15:47.104 --> 01:15:49.604
Centuries old?

01:15:50.813 --> 01:15:53.563
This tree must have
witnessed so much.

01:15:53.896 --> 01:15:56.396
It must have seen
the world change.

01:15:56.979 --> 01:15:59.354
The world may have
changed its appearance,

01:15:59.604 --> 01:16:01.188
but human desires,
relationships,

01:16:01.313 --> 01:16:03.938
joys, sorrows,
hopes and longings

01:16:04.396 --> 01:16:05.563
remain the same even today.

01:16:06.104 --> 01:16:11.938
"Almighty, why did we become
so undeserving in Your eyes?"

01:16:12.021 --> 01:16:17.146
"My vessel was strong,
yet we still drowned"

01:16:17.271 --> 01:16:23.229
"Almighty, why did we become
so undeserving in Your eyes?"

01:16:23.688 --> 01:16:28.813
"My vessel was strong, yet
we still ended up drowning"

01:16:29.479 --> 01:16:35.271
"Who has taken away
the anklets from love’s feet?"

01:16:35.396 --> 01:16:41.188
"The branch where I once
tied my swing has now snapped"

01:16:41.271 --> 01:16:46.646
"It feels less like the branch broke, and
more like my own arms have given way"

01:16:46.771 --> 01:16:52.438
"Come here, you little lost bird,
let me take care of you"

01:16:52.604 --> 01:16:58.271
"Come here, you little lost bird,
let me take care of you"

01:16:58.521 --> 01:17:04.896
"Come here, you little lost bird,
let me take care of you"

01:17:34.979 --> 01:17:36.146
Please come, baba ji.

01:17:36.271 --> 01:17:37.896
May God bless you.

01:17:38.313 --> 01:17:39.729
Did you plant these trees?

01:17:39.771 --> 01:17:42.604
Yes, Babaji, for those
who pass this way,

01:17:42.771 --> 01:17:45.646
so they may rest here for a while.

01:18:04.479 --> 01:18:07.021
Thank you.
May God bless you.

01:18:16.896 --> 01:18:18.813
Thank you.

01:18:22.104 --> 01:18:24.188
This is the noblest
form of service.

01:18:24.396 --> 01:18:27.229
Travellers must surely be deeply
grateful to you for providing water

01:18:27.479 --> 01:18:30.771
and may Almighty bless you
abundantly for planting these trees.

01:18:30.979 --> 01:18:34.438
Sai Ji, there is something I’ve been wondering...

01:18:35.313 --> 01:18:36.771
Which faith do you follow?

01:18:37.771 --> 01:18:41.479
Young man, the question is not which faith we follow,

01:18:42.271 --> 01:18:45.396
but what our faith truly means.

01:18:45.896 --> 01:18:47.521
Our religion teaches us

01:18:48.271 --> 01:18:49.979
to help others

01:18:50.771 --> 01:18:52.271
and to give in charity.

01:18:53.896 --> 01:18:55.271
True indeed.

01:18:56.396 --> 01:18:57.521
Sai Ji,

01:18:57.979 --> 01:19:00.688
my grandmother also
contributes Dasvandh.

01:19:01.271 --> 01:19:02.104
Kesar,

01:19:02.688 --> 01:19:05.229
all religions advocate charity and virtue.

01:19:05.813 --> 01:19:07.646
In Sikhism, it is known as Dasvandh,

01:19:07.771 --> 01:19:09.896
in Hinduism, it is referred to as charity,

01:19:10.313 --> 01:19:12.646
in Islam, it is known as Zakat.

01:19:13.021 --> 01:19:15.396
And in Judaism, it is known as Tzedakah.

01:19:15.479 --> 01:19:17.271
Greetings.
- How are you, sir?

01:19:17.313 --> 01:19:18.604
God's grace. - Are you alright?

01:19:18.688 --> 01:19:20.021
Come, have some water. - Yeah, I'm coming!

01:19:20.188 --> 01:19:22.146
Allow us the privilege
of serving you.

01:19:28.188 --> 01:19:30.813
You're feeding your
food to these goats.

01:19:30.896 --> 01:19:33.896
My family survives because of these goats, sir.

01:19:33.979 --> 01:19:35.354
How much do you earn?

01:19:35.479 --> 01:19:37.771
It's enough to
support my family.

01:19:38.104 --> 01:19:39.521
Thanks be to God.

01:19:39.688 --> 01:19:41.979
Should I find you work with the horse traders?

01:19:42.104 --> 01:19:43.729
You look after these goats,

01:19:43.771 --> 01:19:45.271
you can do the same for their horses.

01:19:46.479 --> 01:19:48.271
That's very kind of you.

01:19:48.771 --> 01:19:50.604
But that would mean working under someone.

01:19:51.104 --> 01:19:53.938
And rather than tending
to someone else's horses,

01:19:54.771 --> 01:19:56.271
I'd rather herd my goats.

01:19:57.771 --> 01:19:59.438
Isn't that right, Sai Ji?

01:19:59.521 --> 01:20:02.271
You have spoken the absolute truth.

01:20:02.604 --> 01:20:04.688
It is far better to find peace in one’s own home than

01:20:04.771 --> 01:20:06.938
to serve in someone else’s grand mansion.

01:20:15.271 --> 01:20:17.313
Is it always this
lively around here?

01:20:17.396 --> 01:20:18.354
Yes, Babaji.

01:20:18.479 --> 01:20:20.854
People are always
passing through here,

01:20:21.104 --> 01:20:22.813
but two villages
beyond this place,

01:20:23.271 --> 01:20:26.979
a fair will be held tomorrow
at Peer Baba's shrine,

01:20:27.104 --> 01:20:30.396
which is why the crowd
is slightly larger today.

01:20:30.604 --> 01:20:31.979
I see.

01:20:34.104 --> 01:20:44.396
"Between the brows, the Divine
Guru has inscribed a sacred tilak"

01:20:45.021 --> 01:20:49.438
"In flawless rhythm and melody,"

01:20:49.771 --> 01:20:54.646
"He has planted the peg,
such is His divine illusion"

01:21:09.104 --> 01:21:14.729
"In the ascetic’s gaze resides the
vision that discerns truth from falsehood"

01:21:14.771 --> 01:21:19.688
"In the ascetic’s gaze resides the
vision that discerns truth from falsehood"

01:21:19.979 --> 01:21:25.396
"The Almighty sways like
a swing within the earrings"

01:21:25.479 --> 01:21:30.771
"The Almighty sways like
a swing within the earrings"

01:21:30.896 --> 01:21:35.938
"The Almighty sways like
a swing within the earrings"

01:21:36.104 --> 01:21:41.396
"The Almighty sways like
a swing within the earrings"

01:21:41.479 --> 01:21:46.688
"In the ascetic’s gaze resides the
vision that discerns truth from falsehood"

01:21:46.771 --> 01:21:51.896
"The Almighty sways like
a swing within the earrings"

01:21:52.188 --> 01:21:57.229
"The Almighty sways like
a swing within the earrings"

01:22:10.771 --> 01:22:15.979
"The seeds that have been sown must
be reaped in the fullness of freedom"

01:22:16.104 --> 01:22:21.188
"Go to the fair,
but do not lose yourself in it"

01:22:21.271 --> 01:22:26.521
"Go to the fair,
but do not lose yourself in it"

01:22:26.688 --> 01:22:31.729
"The eyes sways through
all eight watches of the night"

01:22:32.104 --> 01:22:37.313
"In the ascetic’s gaze resides the
vision that discerns truth from falsehood"

01:22:37.479 --> 01:22:42.563
"The Almighty sways like
a swing within the earrings"

01:22:42.771 --> 01:22:48.313
"The Almighty sways like
a swing within the earrings"

01:23:09.313 --> 01:23:14.896
"The entire universe
bows down to kiss His feet"

01:23:15.021 --> 01:23:20.188
"Clinking bangles cannot bring
the ascetic under your control"

01:23:20.313 --> 01:23:25.354
"Clinking bangles cannot bring
the ascetic under your control"

01:23:25.479 --> 01:23:30.646
"He lays bare the heart,
the mystery of the realm"

01:23:30.771 --> 01:23:35.771
"In the ascetic’s gaze resides the
vision that discerns truth from falsehood"

01:23:35.979 --> 01:23:41.354
"In the ascetic’s gaze resides the
vision that discerns truth from falsehood"

01:23:41.479 --> 01:23:46.521
"The Almighty sways like
a swing within the earrings"

01:23:55.604 --> 01:24:01.063
"When the hue of love rises,
it shatters even swords"

01:24:01.188 --> 01:24:06.021
"The dervishes must burn their homes
to witness such a spectacle"

01:24:06.104 --> 01:24:11.646
"The dervishes must burn their homes
to witness such a spectacle"

01:24:11.771 --> 01:24:17.063
"Only then does the melody align
with the flute’s yearning"

01:24:17.188 --> 01:24:19.813
"Only then does the melody
align with the flute’s yearning"

01:24:19.896 --> 01:24:22.854
Those who meet are destined to part,

01:24:23.479 --> 01:24:25.063
and those who part...

01:24:25.271 --> 01:24:27.063
are destined to meet again.

01:24:27.479 --> 01:24:29.396
this is God's eternal design.

01:24:29.479 --> 01:24:33.313
"In the ascetic’s gaze resides the
vision that discerns truth from falsehood"

01:24:49.688 --> 01:24:50.646
Sai Ji,

01:24:51.688 --> 01:24:54.229
everyone we met on our journey

01:24:55.479 --> 01:24:57.646
had some sorrow.

01:24:59.313 --> 01:25:01.438
Some share their pain,

01:25:02.813 --> 01:25:05.021
while others keep it
buried deep in their hearts.

01:25:05.104 --> 01:25:07.313
As long as a person
is alive and breathing,

01:25:07.979 --> 01:25:09.896
sorrow remains their
constant companion.

01:25:12.104 --> 01:25:13.896
But whether to be sad or not

01:25:14.771 --> 01:25:16.271
is in our own hands.

01:25:17.771 --> 01:25:19.813
How is it in our own hands?

01:25:20.979 --> 01:25:23.854
Once, a disciple asked his guru

01:25:24.104 --> 01:25:25.688
and asked him the same question

01:25:25.813 --> 01:25:26.771
Saying, 'Baba Ji,

01:25:27.396 --> 01:25:30.271
how can we lessen the suffering in our lives?

01:25:39.771 --> 01:25:42.771
The guru asked him to
bring two bowls.

01:25:44.771 --> 01:25:48.604
one for salt, and the other to drink water from.

01:25:56.021 --> 01:25:58.438
Then he put a handful of salt into the first bowl,

01:25:58.479 --> 01:26:00.104
and told him to drink the water.

01:26:01.104 --> 01:26:03.646
'How does it taste?' he asked."

01:26:05.271 --> 01:26:06.396
This is extremely bitter.

01:26:07.271 --> 01:26:08.563
Now discard it.

01:26:18.688 --> 01:26:20.021
Now fill it with water again.

01:26:25.313 --> 01:26:27.063
Now drink it and tell me.

01:26:30.271 --> 01:26:31.229
It's sweet.

01:26:31.396 --> 01:26:34.021
This is the only way
to overcome sorrow.

01:26:34.271 --> 01:26:35.938
If you keep your heart small,

01:26:36.021 --> 01:26:37.396
sorrows will feel immense.

01:26:37.771 --> 01:26:41.146
But if you expand your
heart like a vast river,

01:26:41.396 --> 01:26:42.729
then sorrows appear small.

01:26:43.104 --> 01:26:44.604
I understood, Sai ji.

01:26:45.396 --> 01:26:48.646
If we shrink our hearts
to the size of a bowl

01:26:48.771 --> 01:26:51.271
then every sorrow
will feel overwhelming.

01:26:52.313 --> 01:26:55.063
But if we expand
our hearts like a river

01:26:56.104 --> 01:26:58.854
then all the sorrows of
the world will seem small.

01:26:59.188 --> 01:27:00.563
Yes, Kesar.

01:27:01.271 --> 01:27:04.104
Son, you are growing
wiser with each passing day.

01:27:04.688 --> 01:27:07.021
You are moving
towards your destination.

01:27:36.188 --> 01:27:37.854
Hey! Hey! Go!

01:27:41.313 --> 01:27:43.396
No, young man.
- But, Sai Ji...

01:27:43.479 --> 01:27:45.771
Just as we walk our own path,

01:27:46.188 --> 01:27:49.854
in the same way, this creature too has
every right to follow its own path.

01:27:50.688 --> 01:27:52.146
Come, let's go.

01:28:00.771 --> 01:28:03.271
Say it with me: 'K.'
- 'K.'

01:28:03.313 --> 01:28:05.229
'Kh'.
- 'Kh'.

01:28:05.313 --> 01:28:07.146
'G'.
- 'G'.

01:28:07.188 --> 01:28:08.854
'D'.
- 'D'.

01:28:08.896 --> 01:28:10.646
'DH'.
- 'DH'.

01:28:10.688 --> 01:28:12.646
'Ch'.
- 'Ch'.

01:28:12.688 --> 01:28:14.271
'Chh'.
- 'Chh'.

01:28:14.688 --> 01:28:15.479
'J'.

01:28:17.688 --> 01:28:20.104
Kesar, how far did you study?

01:28:20.813 --> 01:28:23.896
Sai Ji, in our village, schooling
only goes up to the eighth grade.

01:28:23.979 --> 01:28:27.729
So I could only study up to that level.
- Okay.

01:28:28.021 --> 01:28:32.063
Sai Ji, you must be
very well-educated.

01:28:32.271 --> 01:28:36.313
Son, there was no school
in the villages around us.

01:28:36.896 --> 01:28:39.604
I learnt Gurmukhi from the
baba at the village Gurudwara,

01:28:39.688 --> 01:28:41.271
and Urdu from Maulvi Sahib.

01:28:41.396 --> 01:28:42.063
Really?

01:28:42.188 --> 01:28:44.146
I slowly learned the alphabet and

01:28:44.396 --> 01:28:46.479
began reading by
piecing letters together.

01:28:46.896 --> 01:28:49.438
Whenever I come across a good book,

01:28:49.521 --> 01:28:51.271
I make sure to read it.

01:28:51.479 --> 01:28:54.104
Sai Ji, but you already possess
such profound knowledge.

01:28:54.604 --> 01:28:56.313
Then why do you read books?

01:28:57.604 --> 01:29:00.521
It's not as if you need to
study to pass exams, is it?

01:29:02.188 --> 01:29:05.521
Books are not intended
solely for passing examinations.

01:29:05.896 --> 01:29:09.646
The knowledge gained from books
illuminates one's path in life,

01:29:09.896 --> 01:29:13.896
and our Gurus have even elevated the very
word itself to the status of a teacher.

01:29:14.396 --> 01:29:15.313
Yes.

01:29:26.604 --> 01:29:29.396
Many have come here,
and many have departed.

01:29:29.771 --> 01:29:32.104
Only a rare few possess
gratitude and patience.

01:29:32.271 --> 01:29:34.563
Keep your feet
firmly on the ground,

01:29:34.896 --> 01:29:37.396
for who knows, there may
be a grave beneath your feet.

01:29:37.479 --> 01:29:41.229
Sai Ji, our village teacher
used to say the same thing.

01:29:41.604 --> 01:29:44.146
My dear, truly noble men
tend to hold the same view.

01:29:44.271 --> 01:29:47.104
It is only the foolish who differ
merely in their manner of expression.

01:29:47.188 --> 01:29:48.229
Yes.

01:29:51.396 --> 01:29:52.896
Sai Ji.

01:29:55.813 --> 01:29:57.104
Sai Ji, greetings.

01:29:57.479 --> 01:29:58.729
Greetings.

01:29:59.104 --> 01:30:01.021
I am often travelling,
just like you.

01:30:02.896 --> 01:30:06.021
People say I have
wheels on my feet.

01:30:06.896 --> 01:30:09.354
Do our feet truly
have wheels, Sai Ji?

01:30:10.688 --> 01:30:14.646
My dear, life itself
moves in cycles.

01:30:15.771 --> 01:30:17.521
From the very point it begins

01:30:18.188 --> 01:30:20.688
one day, it all comes to
an end at that very point.

01:30:21.688 --> 01:30:25.063
In the universe,
everything moves in cycles.

01:30:26.271 --> 01:30:28.229
When the body moves
in circular motion,

01:30:28.688 --> 01:30:30.271
the mind attains steadiness,

01:30:30.771 --> 01:30:34.896
hence we perform circumambulation
around the sacred site.

01:30:37.896 --> 01:30:41.438
My only concern is earning
a livelihood, Sai Ji.

01:30:43.271 --> 01:30:44.563
I have taken on many jobs,

01:30:45.313 --> 01:30:47.354
yet none has ever lasted.

01:30:47.688 --> 01:30:50.979
Every four to six months, I end up
having to move on to something new.

01:30:52.604 --> 01:30:57.063
If you dig five pits, each ten yards
deep, you will still find no water.

01:30:57.396 --> 01:31:00.396
You must dig a single
pit fifty yards deep. - Alright.

01:31:02.479 --> 01:31:03.813
May God bless you.

01:31:03.896 --> 01:31:04.729
Stay happy.

01:31:20.688 --> 01:31:23.354
It seems your fate and
sustenance are with us as well.

01:31:24.271 --> 01:31:26.438
There must be some old
connection between us.

01:31:27.271 --> 01:31:29.438
Sai Ji, when I was a child,

01:31:29.479 --> 01:31:32.104
I once picked up a puppy from
the street and brought it home.

01:31:32.188 --> 01:31:34.271
I named him Baaz.

01:31:34.313 --> 01:31:38.229
Before the Partition,
we had a puppy named Bisha.

01:31:38.813 --> 01:31:40.313
At home, in the fields,

01:31:40.896 --> 01:31:42.229
he was always with me.

01:31:42.479 --> 01:31:45.979
During the Partition, when
we hurried towards the station,

01:31:46.188 --> 01:31:49.313
Bisha kept running
after me for a long time,

01:31:50.396 --> 01:31:54.188
then perhaps he grew tired
and was left behind somewhere.

01:31:55.896 --> 01:31:57.771
Should we call him Baaz?

01:32:00.104 --> 01:32:03.188
No, Sai ji, Bisha is fine.

01:32:16.188 --> 01:32:20.229
"In this world, there are
beasts and darkness all around"

01:32:20.771 --> 01:32:24.563
"Yet my mind remains
immersed in bliss"

01:32:25.104 --> 01:32:29.313
"I found it only through
surrender and loss"

01:32:30.104 --> 01:32:33.813
"At dawn, I am filled with
supreme, boundless joy"

01:32:39.313 --> 01:32:40.896
But, Sai Ji,

01:32:41.813 --> 01:32:43.896
everyone is afraid
of death, aren't they?

01:32:45.771 --> 01:32:46.646
Dear,

01:32:48.396 --> 01:32:50.604
where the fear of
death comes to an end,

01:32:51.104 --> 01:32:53.354
that is where life truly begins.

01:33:00.479 --> 01:33:03.688
This universe, beautifully
adorned by the divine,

01:33:03.771 --> 01:33:04.854
is truly magnificent.

01:33:04.979 --> 01:33:07.563
It is truly a heaven on earth.

01:33:09.771 --> 01:33:11.354
Sai Ji,

01:33:11.813 --> 01:33:13.729
do heaven and hell

01:33:14.521 --> 01:33:15.813
really exist?

01:33:16.604 --> 01:33:19.229
Or are they merely thoughts?

01:33:22.188 --> 01:33:23.313
Kesar...

01:33:23.396 --> 01:33:28.063
Once, a king went to a sage
to ask exactly this question.

01:33:35.021 --> 01:33:36.479
Hail the revered Saint.

01:33:36.604 --> 01:33:39.313
Our king has himself
come to see you

01:33:39.979 --> 01:33:42.854
and wishes to ask,
what are heaven and hell?

01:33:51.188 --> 01:33:52.438
Which king?

01:33:54.188 --> 01:33:57.479
He looks like a beggar.
- Saint!

01:34:00.604 --> 01:34:05.354
Being unable to control
one's mind is hell.

01:34:13.271 --> 01:34:16.271
To have mastery over one's mind

01:34:17.479 --> 01:34:20.396
is heaven.

01:34:27.313 --> 01:34:31.313
It is our own thinking that shapes our joy and our pain.

01:34:31.771 --> 01:34:34.271
One who conquers the
mind conquers the world.

01:34:34.479 --> 01:34:37.313
After the Tenth Guru's
family was torn apart,

01:34:37.813 --> 01:34:41.271
he rested in the forests of Machhiwara
on a stone, using it as a pillow,

01:34:41.313 --> 01:34:43.438
yet he remained in a
state of serene sleep,

01:34:43.771 --> 01:34:45.854
even in absolute solitude,

01:34:46.271 --> 01:34:49.604
writing a letter like the
Zafarnama to the emperor,

01:34:49.979 --> 01:34:51.313
stands as a profound testament

01:34:51.396 --> 01:34:53.854
to the lofty spirit of a liberated mind.

01:35:15.813 --> 01:35:20.563
"A procession of stars
has passed overhead"

01:35:20.771 --> 01:35:25.396
"Not a single star could be caught"

01:35:25.771 --> 01:35:30.396
"When one steps
into the city of light"

01:35:30.688 --> 01:35:35.313
"The darkness of
the world falls away"

01:35:35.771 --> 01:35:38.063
"The caravan of stars"

01:35:38.479 --> 01:35:42.396
"The world lasts only two days"

01:35:42.479 --> 01:35:47.896
"There is no third day, my love"

01:35:48.313 --> 01:35:57.688
"My love, I will be utterly ruined
today if you do not speak to me"

01:35:58.271 --> 01:36:03.146
"A procession of stars
has passed overhead"

01:36:03.396 --> 01:36:08.063
"Not a single star could be caught"

01:36:08.271 --> 01:36:12.938
"The darkness of
the world falls away"

01:36:13.021 --> 01:36:17.854
"The darkness of
the world falls away"

01:36:18.271 --> 01:36:20.979
"The caravan of stars"

01:36:30.688 --> 01:36:33.146
"The nights slipped
away into yesterday,"

01:36:33.271 --> 01:36:39.979
"Your saffron-hued words
were buried in the night,"

01:36:40.771 --> 01:36:50.146
"Those slightly blue eyes, drenched
in tears, became the heart's shroud,"

01:36:50.771 --> 01:36:55.604
"A restless, unhinged
soul ran after his mother,"

01:36:55.771 --> 01:37:00.479
"Love is the darling
child of pain,"

01:37:00.771 --> 01:37:05.563
"A procession of stars
has passed overhead"

01:37:05.688 --> 01:37:10.396
"Not a single star could be caught"

01:37:10.604 --> 01:37:15.229
"When one steps
into the city of light"

01:37:15.521 --> 01:37:20.354
"The darkness of
the world falls away"

01:37:20.604 --> 01:37:22.896
"The caravan of stars"

01:37:23.271 --> 01:37:27.188
"The world lasts only two days"

01:37:27.271 --> 01:37:32.729
"There is no third day, my love"

01:37:33.188 --> 01:37:41.813
"My love, I will be utterly ruined
today if you do not speak to me"

01:37:41.896 --> 01:37:47.813
"A procession of stars
has passed overhead"

01:37:48.188 --> 01:37:52.354
"Not a single star could be caught"

01:37:53.188 --> 01:37:58.146
"When one steps
into the city of light"

01:37:58.271 --> 01:38:02.854
"The darkness of
the world falls away"

01:38:03.188 --> 01:38:05.813
"The caravan of stars"

01:38:11.479 --> 01:38:12.688
Hail Lord Shiva.

01:38:12.979 --> 01:38:14.604
Hail Lord Shiva.

01:38:15.104 --> 01:38:16.313
Baba, where are you headed?

01:38:16.396 --> 01:38:18.271
We're going to Bikaner.

01:38:18.604 --> 01:38:20.563
Baba, we're also
heading to the next village.

01:38:21.021 --> 01:38:22.438
Please, come, we'll drop you there.

01:38:24.104 --> 01:38:25.854
Please, Baba.
- Alright.

01:38:31.479 --> 01:38:34.063
Bishe, come here.

01:38:34.188 --> 01:38:36.063
Come on, Bishe.
- Come here.

01:38:36.688 --> 01:38:39.396
Come here. Get on.

01:38:51.188 --> 01:38:54.313
O servants of God,
where are you headed today?

01:38:54.479 --> 01:38:57.021
Sai ji, last year my
house was robbed.

01:38:57.604 --> 01:39:00.521
The thief was caught, and
it turned out he was my own enemy.

01:39:00.688 --> 01:39:03.396
He's in prison, but the jewellery
hasn't been recovered yet.

01:39:03.479 --> 01:39:07.771
By good fortune,
he wrote a letter revealing

01:39:07.813 --> 01:39:09.521
where he had hidden the jewellery.

01:39:09.771 --> 01:39:11.438
So we're going to get those jewels.

01:39:11.479 --> 01:39:15.271
Brothers, your enemy hasn't
told the police anything so far

01:39:15.313 --> 01:39:17.979
so how can you be so sure that
the letter will tell you the truth

01:39:18.021 --> 01:39:19.896
about where he has
hidden the jewels?

01:39:19.979 --> 01:39:21.188
I don't understand, Baba.

01:39:21.271 --> 01:39:24.438
A man who has
once lost his credibility

01:39:24.479 --> 01:39:27.021
before placing our
trust in such a man again

01:39:27.104 --> 01:39:29.146
we must think a hundred times over.

01:39:29.313 --> 01:39:31.563
You must have heard the
story of Vigde, haven't you?

01:39:31.604 --> 01:39:32.563
No.

01:39:32.688 --> 01:39:35.563
In a village, there lived
a man of wicked thoughts

01:39:35.688 --> 01:39:37.438
everyone used to call him Vigda.

01:39:37.521 --> 01:39:39.979
He had been a constant
nuisance to the entire village.

01:39:40.104 --> 01:39:42.646
And, fed up, the villagers
drove him out of the village.

01:39:42.688 --> 01:39:44.313
He went on to live
outside the village.

01:39:44.396 --> 01:39:46.229
Did the villagers banish him?

01:39:46.479 --> 01:39:48.313
Yes, they did banish him.

01:39:48.479 --> 01:39:51.229
After a few years,
Vigda fell gravely ill.

01:39:51.313 --> 01:39:53.396
No medication or treatment
could restore his health.

01:39:53.479 --> 01:39:56.354
On his deathbed,
Vigde addressed the village elders

01:39:56.521 --> 01:39:59.021
and asked them to
fulfil his final two wishes.

01:39:59.188 --> 01:40:00.229
And when he passed away

01:40:00.271 --> 01:40:03.688
the villagers felt they
should honour his final wish.

01:40:03.979 --> 01:40:07.896
Following his instructions, they drove
an iron nail into the corpse's forehead

01:40:07.979 --> 01:40:09.688
and summoned the local Kotwal.

01:40:09.979 --> 01:40:11.396
The Kotwal arrived
and inspected the body

01:40:11.479 --> 01:40:13.146
and realised it was
a case of murder.

01:40:13.188 --> 01:40:16.729
He called the police and
had the entire village arrested.

01:40:16.813 --> 01:40:18.729
Now, in prison, the villagers think

01:40:18.979 --> 01:40:21.813
that Vigda, even in death,
has caused yet another problem.

01:40:23.771 --> 01:40:25.688
He is not your friend, brother.

01:40:26.396 --> 01:40:29.604
And a man who has
once lost his credibility,

01:40:29.896 --> 01:40:32.146
before placing trust in him again,

01:40:32.313 --> 01:40:33.896
should think a hundred times over.

01:40:33.979 --> 01:40:37.021
As for the rest, you sort it
out amongst yourselves.

01:40:37.479 --> 01:40:39.271
This is our stop, brothers.

01:40:39.396 --> 01:40:40.896
Drop us off here.
- Hey, stop.

01:40:40.938 --> 01:40:42.229
We'll go our own way.

01:40:47.604 --> 01:40:48.813
Bishe, get off.

01:40:48.896 --> 01:40:52.313
May God bless you.
- Waheguru ji.

01:40:59.396 --> 01:41:00.729
The Baba was right.

01:41:30.396 --> 01:41:32.354
Stop the cart! Quick, stop it!

01:41:33.396 --> 01:41:35.813
Hail Maharaj ji. Hail Maharaj ji.

01:41:35.896 --> 01:41:37.146
I bow at your feet, Maharaj.

01:41:37.271 --> 01:41:39.271
Where have you come from,
and where are you headed?

01:41:39.313 --> 01:41:41.813
We've come from Punjab
and are heading to Bikaner.

01:41:41.896 --> 01:41:44.854
Maharaj, you are truly earning great merit.

01:41:45.271 --> 01:41:48.896
Please grace my carriage with your presence and sanctify it.

01:41:49.188 --> 01:41:52.313
Just four kilometres from here lies my beautiful village,

01:41:52.396 --> 01:41:54.063
where I have a magnificent home.

01:41:54.104 --> 01:41:55.521
All comforts and
amenities are available.

01:41:55.604 --> 01:41:57.104
And my cook prepares

01:41:57.188 --> 01:41:59.604
the finest cuisine
in the entire region.

01:41:59.688 --> 01:42:01.646
Please come and bless my home, Maharaj.

01:42:02.313 --> 01:42:04.396
You are greatly
blessed by the Almighty.

01:42:04.688 --> 01:42:06.396
You are very kind-hearted.

01:42:06.604 --> 01:42:08.354
Thank you for the feast.

01:42:08.771 --> 01:42:10.979
But we shall depart
in Almighty's grace.

01:42:12.021 --> 01:42:13.396
As you wish, Maharaj.

01:42:13.604 --> 01:42:15.688
May God bestow further grace upon you.
- Ram Ram, Maharaj.

01:42:15.771 --> 01:42:19.354
Sai Ji, we came all the way here with those cart drivers,

01:42:19.479 --> 01:42:21.146
but you said no to this man.

01:42:21.188 --> 01:42:22.646
Why is that?

01:42:23.021 --> 01:42:27.563
Young man, those cart
drivers' intention was to help.

01:42:27.771 --> 01:42:30.646
And this merchant's intent
was merely to put on a display.

01:42:31.313 --> 01:42:34.979
Showmanship arises from
a lack of self-confidence.

01:42:35.771 --> 01:42:39.563
Sweetness belongs to
the well, not to the ocean.

01:42:39.771 --> 01:42:41.604
One should not judge
a person's greatness

01:42:41.688 --> 01:42:44.438
by their wealth or
outward splendour.

01:42:45.896 --> 01:42:46.813
Yes.

01:43:27.021 --> 01:43:29.229
Sai ji, is this...

01:43:31.688 --> 01:43:34.063
Yes, this is Bikaner.

01:43:38.521 --> 01:43:42.396
Baba ji, we've come
very close to Bikaner now.

01:43:42.771 --> 01:43:44.854
My unease has only grown stronger.

01:43:46.271 --> 01:43:47.354
Will I find my father?

01:43:47.771 --> 01:43:50.063
Will my journey prove successful?

01:43:50.479 --> 01:43:53.354
Dear, this journey was

01:43:53.604 --> 01:43:55.854
never just about
finding your father.

01:43:57.188 --> 01:43:59.396
It was also about
discovering yourself.

01:44:00.188 --> 01:44:01.688
Kesar,

01:44:02.188 --> 01:44:03.271
you look rather disheartened.

01:44:03.396 --> 01:44:05.979
There is a strange sense
of unease within me.

01:44:07.271 --> 01:44:09.146
I don't understand
anything, Sai Ji.

01:44:12.313 --> 01:44:13.979
Young man, this is only natural.

01:44:14.104 --> 01:44:16.604
Union and separation
go hand in hand.

01:44:16.688 --> 01:44:18.646
That is what life is all about.

01:44:19.688 --> 01:44:23.188
Come now, your destination
is calling out to you.

01:44:45.021 --> 01:44:46.479
Your command, Sai.

01:44:46.604 --> 01:44:48.521
Where is Kale Khan’s inn located?

01:44:48.604 --> 01:44:50.063
The Kale Khan’s inn?
- Yes. Yes.

01:44:50.104 --> 01:44:52.146
That old fort in Junagarh,

01:44:52.271 --> 01:44:55.063
just beyond it, on the right-hand side,
is the Kale Khan's inn.

01:44:55.104 --> 01:44:56.479
Okay, thank you.

01:44:56.604 --> 01:44:57.729
All right, Baba Ji.
- May God bless you.

01:44:57.813 --> 01:44:58.688
Thank you.

01:44:59.104 --> 01:45:00.271
Come.
- Yes.

01:45:21.896 --> 01:45:24.271
If Almighty wills it,
we shall meet again.

01:45:24.688 --> 01:45:27.563
Perhaps this bond will endure
through our shared affection,

01:45:27.688 --> 01:45:31.563
otherwise, relationships
fall apart along the way.

01:45:32.021 --> 01:45:35.188
May the Almighty always
watch over you.

01:45:57.271 --> 01:45:59.396
Greetings, Sir.
- Greetings.

01:45:59.813 --> 01:46:02.688
Sir, have you ever
seen this person here?

01:46:06.479 --> 01:46:07.438
No.

01:46:08.688 --> 01:46:10.729
I've never seen him here.

01:46:11.813 --> 01:46:14.479
He looks after this inn.

01:46:14.604 --> 01:46:16.021
Ask him, dear.
- Okay.

01:46:16.104 --> 01:46:18.021
Thank you. - Okay.

01:46:21.604 --> 01:46:23.646
Greetings.

01:46:25.104 --> 01:46:28.104
Have you seen him here?

01:46:31.771 --> 01:46:33.188
Who are you, dear?

01:46:33.396 --> 01:46:34.938
He's my father.

01:46:40.979 --> 01:46:44.271
He was a very good man.

01:46:45.688 --> 01:46:47.021
Was?

01:46:50.521 --> 01:46:52.896
Dear! Dear...

01:47:01.604 --> 01:47:03.646
Stay strong, son.

01:47:06.479 --> 01:47:08.563
It's in Almighty's hands.

01:47:08.688 --> 01:47:11.521
Stay strong, son. Don't cry.

01:47:12.104 --> 01:47:15.563
Son, stop crying. Stop crying

01:47:16.188 --> 01:47:17.771
Don't cry.

01:47:21.771 --> 01:47:22.896
Oh, god!

01:47:42.771 --> 01:47:45.021
People stay here for a few days,

01:47:45.688 --> 01:47:47.146
then they return home.

01:47:48.479 --> 01:47:51.896
But he stayed here much longer,

01:47:54.021 --> 01:47:57.271
for nearly a year.

01:47:58.271 --> 01:48:01.646
He was a truly kind-hearted man.

01:48:02.396 --> 01:48:04.354
We grew quite
fond of each other.

01:48:04.521 --> 01:48:06.438
When he first arrived, he said,

01:48:07.188 --> 01:48:09.479
"I'm here to inspect some land"
- Yes.

01:48:09.604 --> 01:48:12.313
Then, one day, he came to me and said

01:48:12.688 --> 01:48:15.438
that his daughter had gone missing

01:48:16.104 --> 01:48:18.438
and he had come to find her.

01:48:23.021 --> 01:48:26.479
One day, he came down
with a very high fever.

01:48:29.271 --> 01:48:32.646
I cared for him as best I could,

01:48:34.396 --> 01:48:35.979
with whatever medicine

01:48:36.104 --> 01:48:38.521
and help I could provide.

01:48:39.604 --> 01:48:40.729
But I...

01:48:42.104 --> 01:48:43.938
couldn't save him.

01:48:45.271 --> 01:48:48.354
The very next day,
he departed this world.

01:48:49.688 --> 01:48:52.729
I didn't have any address,

01:48:53.104 --> 01:48:55.854
so there was no one I could inform.

01:48:57.271 --> 01:48:59.813
The day after his funeral,

01:49:00.396 --> 01:49:01.604
his daughter arrived.

01:49:03.188 --> 01:49:04.938
Sister Taaro?

01:49:06.521 --> 01:49:09.271
Where I performed his last rites,

01:49:09.604 --> 01:49:11.771
I planted a sapling there.

01:49:12.188 --> 01:49:16.021
I thought that if
anyone ever came

01:49:16.896 --> 01:49:20.854
looking for him, this sapling
would offer them some solace.

01:49:21.896 --> 01:49:23.729
Listen, Pandit ji.

01:49:24.979 --> 01:49:25.979
Yes, sir.

01:49:26.396 --> 01:49:31.021
Take this boy to the cremation ground — near that tree...

01:49:31.271 --> 01:49:33.813
where Sardar ji was cremated.

01:49:34.396 --> 01:49:35.813
Go on, son.

01:49:35.979 --> 01:49:36.979
Come with me.

01:49:39.521 --> 01:49:40.771
Come, dear.

01:50:17.313 --> 01:50:18.146
Sister, Taaro?

01:50:28.021 --> 01:50:29.354
Kesar?

01:50:32.771 --> 01:50:34.521
My brother?

01:50:55.979 --> 01:50:57.063
Kesar.

01:50:57.979 --> 01:50:59.396
Kesar.

01:51:19.313 --> 01:51:20.646
Kesar,

01:51:21.396 --> 01:51:23.479
you're exactly like Dad.

01:51:23.896 --> 01:51:25.729
Dad managed to find me,

01:51:26.604 --> 01:51:29.104
and you found both of us.

01:51:30.479 --> 01:51:31.979
Did you see Dad?

01:51:32.271 --> 01:51:34.354
Sister, did you meet Dad?

01:51:34.896 --> 01:51:36.688
I ran into dad unexpectedly

01:51:37.188 --> 01:51:38.438
near the fort.

01:51:39.479 --> 01:51:42.604
We hugged each other
and wept for a long time.

01:51:42.896 --> 01:51:44.479
We talked a lot.

01:51:47.188 --> 01:51:49.604
Dad had a fever, Kesar.

01:51:51.979 --> 01:51:54.938
Then he told me about that inn.

01:51:55.479 --> 01:51:58.813
He said he'd come again tomorrow.

01:52:01.896 --> 01:52:03.354
But he never did.

01:52:10.021 --> 01:52:13.646
The next day, I went to the inn,

01:52:15.521 --> 01:52:18.479
but dad had
already left this world.

01:52:19.521 --> 01:52:23.563
It seems he held on
to life just to see me.

01:52:23.979 --> 01:52:25.104
Just...

01:52:25.771 --> 01:52:28.021
Every month, I come here to

01:52:28.188 --> 01:52:29.604
relive the moments

01:52:30.313 --> 01:52:33.021
we shared.

01:52:35.396 --> 01:52:38.479
Sister, have you never wanted
to come back to the village?

01:52:38.604 --> 01:52:40.229
Didn't you ever feel
like coming to see us?

01:52:40.313 --> 01:52:42.896
To see me, to see grandma?

01:52:44.271 --> 01:52:46.479
There are certain
realities of life, Kesar.

01:52:46.604 --> 01:52:48.438
You're still very young.

01:52:49.979 --> 01:52:52.479
When you grow up, you'll understand

01:52:53.104 --> 01:52:55.938
that girls are often left
with very little choice.

01:52:56.604 --> 01:52:58.479
There were many times

01:52:58.896 --> 01:53:01.354
when I wanted to run away
and come back home.

01:53:02.771 --> 01:53:05.063
But then I wondered
who would accept me.

01:53:06.396 --> 01:53:08.354
My parents would still love me,

01:53:09.104 --> 01:53:11.688
but the world would
taunt me every single day.

01:53:13.188 --> 01:53:15.063
But for some reason, Kesar,

01:53:15.479 --> 01:53:17.521
I can never seem
to let go of the hope

01:53:17.979 --> 01:53:19.354
that someone from my family

01:53:19.979 --> 01:53:21.479
will come for me.

01:53:22.771 --> 01:53:24.563
I truly believe

01:53:24.771 --> 01:53:27.021
my bond with my family
cannot end like this.

01:53:57.521 --> 01:54:00.646
This locket was given to me
by my dad, wasn't it?

01:54:00.771 --> 01:54:04.021
Yes, son. Your dad put this locket
around your neck on your first Lohri.

01:54:30.104 --> 01:54:31.396
Kesar,

01:54:32.771 --> 01:54:34.979
Father told me about mother.

01:54:43.188 --> 01:54:44.313
How is Grandma?

01:54:44.479 --> 01:54:47.146
She's just getting by, Sister.

01:54:48.021 --> 01:54:50.313
All that crying has
weakened her eyesight.

01:54:50.396 --> 01:54:53.979
Kesar, how did you manage
to come all this way alone?

01:54:55.104 --> 01:54:56.896
I didn't come alone, Taaro.

01:54:57.021 --> 01:54:59.021
An ascetic, Sai Ji, came with me.

01:54:59.396 --> 01:55:02.521
He was supposed to come here,
so I accompanied him.

01:55:03.188 --> 01:55:06.271
Really? Then introduce
me to that ascetic as well.

01:55:06.604 --> 01:55:08.854
I want to thank the man

01:55:08.979 --> 01:55:11.146
who reunited me with my brother.

01:55:20.396 --> 01:55:22.646
Did you see the Sai Ji
who came with me?

01:55:22.771 --> 01:55:24.229
Yes, Sai Ji.
- Yes.

01:55:24.313 --> 01:55:25.646
I saw him just
a little while ago.

01:55:25.688 --> 01:55:27.646
He was heading along
the road to Jaisalmer. - He went that way?

01:55:27.771 --> 01:55:28.854
Yes, he went that way.

01:55:29.104 --> 01:55:30.479
Thank you.

01:56:30.479 --> 01:56:31.854
'Sai Ji,

01:56:32.104 --> 01:56:34.313
did you know I would come looking for you?

01:56:34.604 --> 01:56:35.521
Yes.

01:56:42.188 --> 01:56:43.729
And this second stone,

01:56:43.896 --> 01:56:46.688
I shall give it to you
once the journey is over.

01:57:45.021 --> 01:57:47.563
'Everything in life has two sides.'

01:57:48.188 --> 01:57:49.313
'Joy and sorrow.'

01:57:49.479 --> 01:57:50.729
'Happiness and grief,'

01:57:50.896 --> 01:57:52.271
'honour and humiliation,'

01:57:52.396 --> 01:57:54.979
'attachment and detachment,
anger and love.

01:57:55.313 --> 01:57:56.813
'The white and black stones'

01:57:56.979 --> 01:57:59.313
'are merely the two
extremes of life's spectrum.'

01:57:59.979 --> 01:58:04.229
'Life is the art of walking
the path between them.'

01:58:05.271 --> 01:58:08.771
'Whenever you find yourself
lost for direction in life,'

01:58:08.979 --> 01:58:11.604
'faced with uncertainty and
unable to make sense of things,'

01:58:11.688 --> 01:58:15.021
'focus your mind, as though
learning to see'

01:58:15.479 --> 01:58:17.188
'between two stones.'

01:58:17.604 --> 01:58:20.646
'Almighty Himself will
grant you wisdom.'

01:58:30.188 --> 01:58:31.146
Grandma,

01:58:32.188 --> 01:58:34.771
leave it.
You must be sleepy too.

01:58:35.896 --> 01:58:37.521
It's alright, my dear.

01:58:37.771 --> 01:58:40.813
I had you running
around all day today,

01:58:41.396 --> 01:58:43.063
so you must be tired.

01:58:43.188 --> 01:58:44.563
It's alright, Grandma.

01:58:44.688 --> 01:58:46.563
I'll take care of you now.

01:58:46.813 --> 01:58:48.229
I'm grown up now.

01:58:48.396 --> 01:58:51.021
Yes, you've grown into
a fine young man.

01:58:51.604 --> 01:58:53.646
Now we'll get you married,

01:58:53.813 --> 01:58:56.896
and bring your bride home
to take care of me.

01:59:01.021 --> 01:59:03.104
Kesar, let me see your hand.

01:59:03.979 --> 01:59:04.979
Here.

01:59:06.813 --> 01:59:10.188
I don't think there's even a line
bearing my name on your palm.

01:59:15.979 --> 01:59:17.604
You silly girl.

01:59:18.104 --> 01:59:21.229
First of all, there is a line.

01:59:21.771 --> 01:59:24.188
Secondly, even if there isn't,

01:59:24.479 --> 01:59:26.896
I'd still be yours, Jeeti.

01:59:35.771 --> 01:59:41.563
Son, if in your dream
a lion were chasing you,

01:59:42.604 --> 01:59:45.354
and suddenly a well
appeared before you,

01:59:47.604 --> 01:59:49.646
what would you do
in that situation?

01:59:53.313 --> 01:59:55.146
I'd wake up, Baba Ji.

01:59:56.188 --> 01:59:57.271
Hmm.

01:59:59.979 --> 02:00:01.229
Wonderful!

02:00:02.188 --> 02:00:04.771
Your journey has been fruitful.

02:00:06.104 --> 02:00:07.271
Sai Ji,

02:00:07.896 --> 02:00:09.688
I can finally see my path,

02:00:10.396 --> 02:00:12.438
the one that leads
to Grandma and Jeeti.

02:00:13.771 --> 02:00:14.854
God bless you.

02:00:18.604 --> 02:00:20.021
I'll return again very soon.

02:00:20.604 --> 02:00:22.438
I'll come to your
home bearing gifts.

02:00:30.188 --> 02:00:30.979
Bishe.

02:00:43.979 --> 02:00:45.354
Sai Ji.

02:00:54.688 --> 02:00:58.521
The pain of separation
opens the doors to wisdom

02:00:59.271 --> 02:01:03.104
and the thought of
reunion gives wings to hope.

02:01:04.604 --> 02:01:07.354
Dreams with wings are beautiful,

02:01:07.896 --> 02:01:09.813
but the most
beautiful thing of all

02:01:10.479 --> 02:01:13.771
is becoming the wings
to someone else's dream.

02:01:14.604 --> 02:01:20.354
The One who gave the beak
will also provide the grain.

02:01:20.813 --> 02:01:26.063
He will orchestrate things in a
way you never even imagined.

02:01:26.479 --> 02:01:31.438
Giver's blood is red too

02:01:31.604 --> 02:01:35.104
He does not discriminate based on caste or creed.

02:01:35.188 --> 02:01:40.063
You merely speak the words ordained by the Divine

02:01:40.396 --> 02:01:43.854
You hold no status of your own.

02:01:44.188 --> 02:01:48.938
You merely speak the words ordained by the real Divine

02:01:49.104 --> 02:01:53.604
Dear, you hold no status of your own.

02:02:04.771 --> 02:02:10.021
The flower, having broken
off the branch, will fall.

02:02:10.479 --> 02:02:15.521
Your body will crumble like sand

02:02:16.313 --> 02:02:21.646
Then spring will not come back

02:02:22.104 --> 02:02:27.438
The smile revealing white teeth will not return

02:02:28.021 --> 02:02:32.688
Everyone will be left just waving their hands in vain

02:02:33.021 --> 02:02:36.479
My friend, the last post will leave

02:02:36.521 --> 02:02:41.729
You merely speak the words ordained by the Divine

02:02:41.813 --> 02:02:45.313
Dear, you hold no status of your own

02:02:45.604 --> 02:02:50.271
You merely speak the words ordained by the real Divine

02:02:50.604 --> 02:02:55.146
Dear, you hold no status of your own

02:02:57.896 --> 02:03:04.479
Why do you cherish a life

02:03:05.604 --> 02:03:13.563
that leaves behind nothing but bones

02:03:14.604 --> 02:03:20.146
My dear, it feeds on patience and gratitude

02:03:20.896 --> 02:03:28.813
Its effect is felt in an instant.

02:03:29.271 --> 02:03:36.563
Forgetting the differences
between mine and others

02:03:37.979 --> 02:03:42.771
listen to what your heart has to say.

02:03:45.104 --> 02:03:50.479
There are many heaps of soil

02:03:50.979 --> 02:03:57.521
All of them are found in different forms.

02:03:57.896 --> 02:04:02.479
There are many heaps of soil

02:04:02.896 --> 02:04:09.188
All of them are found in different forms.

02:04:10.604 --> 02:04:16.104
Radiant faces are like a light in the world

02:04:16.271 --> 02:04:21.521
They earn their livelihood honestly.

02:04:22.188 --> 02:04:27.479
One should wear the mantle of honesty.

02:04:27.979 --> 02:04:33.021
We should speak respectfully to saints and sages

02:04:33.771 --> 02:04:42.229
Only a fortunate person attains
a pure and holy soul

02:04:42.521 --> 02:04:47.396
You merely speak the words ordained by the Divine

02:04:47.688 --> 02:04:51.229
Dear, you hold no status of your own

02:04:51.479 --> 02:04:56.063
You merely speak the words ordained by the real Divine

02:04:56.396 --> 02:05:00.563
Dear, you hold no status of your own
