Bhai Gopal was a simple man. He was a very loving devoted Sikh of Guru Arjun Dev Ji, the 5th Guru. He worked honestly at his job. He kept a storage area. Everyone trusted him with their stuff, and he would store it for them. One time a man named Jamaal Khan came to his storage place to leave 500 gold coins for storage. But being busy that day, he forgot to write it down and to store the coins. Later, Jamaal Khan came back and asked for his stuff to be returned. Bhai Gopal looked around for Jamaal Khan’s coins but didn’t find them. He asked Jamaal Khan if he was sure that he asked Bhai Gopal to store his coins. Jamaal Khan got angry and said “You stood right there and told me that you would take care of my stuff. What kind of a fool do you think I am?!” So Bhai Gopal went and checked again but he still didn’t find the coins, Jamaal Khan brought Bhai Gopal to the Emperor. The Emperor knew that Bhai Gopal was a Sikh of the Guru and that he would not lie. He also knew that Jamaal Khan wouldn’t lie either. So he had an idea. He asked for a big bowl to be filled with hot oil and a coin. He then said that both of you will have to try to pick out the coin from inside the bowl of boiling oil. Both men were shocked. So Bhai Gopal folded his hands in prayer and said “Guru Ji, you are my protector, you always take care of me when I am in need. I know you will save me now.” Saying this he reached his hand out and began to put it in the burning hot oil and he got the coin out. His hand was not hurt or burned at all! Jamaal Khan folded his hands in prayer to all saints for help, protection, and safety. After his prayers to several saints, he reached his hand in the pot to try and get the coin at the bottom. He barely touched the oil and yelled, “Ouch My fingers It hurts” He immediately got burned. Sometime later Bhai Gopal found Jamaal Khan’s coins in a corner of his storage building. He rushed over to tell him, but Jamaal Khan refused to take the coins saying that Bhai Gopal got him embarrassed in front of the Emperor and asked Bhai Gopal to keep the coins. Bhai Gopal said, “I’m a Sikh of the Guru, I can’t take what’s not mine.” Jamaal Khan agreed to take the coins on one condition that Bhai Gopal will take him to meet his Guru. So Bhai Gopal took Jamaal Khan to meet the Guru. Jamaal asked Guruji that both of us were being honest. I got burned and he didn’t. Why is that?” Guruji told him, “When Bhai Gopal did his ardas, he did it with total faith. When you prayed, you called several saints but you didn’t have total faith in just one.” Jamaal Khan was amazed the Guru knew his thoughts. Both men felt very high being in the presence of the Guru. Moral - The universe answers our prayers to the same amount we know that it will. A person who prays with a pure heart, with their whole being, and with a deep focus of their mind, truly that person's prayers will come to be. https://chimesradio.com
