    NUMEROUS PLANETS AND NUMEROUS STARS.                                            




On his return from Egypt, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, sat down to spend the night in an open place outside the city of Bagdad. When the people came to know that Guru Nanak Dev Ji, who had revealed the spiritual power at Mecca, was sitting outside the city, they went to the qazi of the city in a big group. The qazi reckoned that stoning such an Infidel hindu to death, would be a very pious deed. He took some of his disciple and went to kill Guru Nanak.
Going head they found that Guru Nanak Dev Ji was singing hymn. Singing was in conflict with their prophet's teachings. However the melody of the hymns made them powerless to hit Guru Nanak with stones. They were stunned and began to look at each other's faces and stones fell from their hands. Guru Nanak made them understand,''Music for singing praises of the Lord is not bad but that music is bad which forces the mind to behave like a devil.'' They asked for forgiveness and took Guru Nanak with them to the city.
The next morning, after taking his bath, Guru Nanak recited Japji Sahib- which is one of the morning prayers. As he passed by Jalal Din, the pir of Bagdad heard the words-''There are numerous skies and nether regions.'' He was filled with wonder after hearing it.
At the end end of the recital, he said ''O, holy man you said that there are numerous skies and numerous nether regions, but our prophets have told us that there are seven skies and seven worlds below. You are telling  a lie.'' Guru Nanak said to the Pir.''Your prophet is not wrong. He saw seven skies and seven worlds below, but I see an unlimited number of these so I speak accordingly. '' Pir Jalal Din  said,''As long as you don't show me , how can I believe you?Guru Nanak Dev Ji told, ''Send anybody with me whom you can trust. I shall show him all these and then you will believe me.
As asked by Guru Nanak, PIr Jalal Din got his son Jul Jalal ready to accompany Guru Nanak. When the people of the city came to know that Guru Nanak was to take the Pir's son to show him numerous skies and numerous nether regions, they assembled in a large at his house. People wanted to see all this with their own eyes. Guru Nanak said Jul Jalal, 'Close your eyes.'' When he closed his eyes, Guru Nanak and Jul vanished out of crowd. After some time they returned.
Guru Nanak brought him back after showing him numerous and numerous nether regions. Jul Jalal had in his hand, a wooden bowl full of semolia pudding. He said,''I have been convinced of there being numerous stars and numerous skies and the worlds below, I have been putting in this bowl, small bits of semolia pudding from every place. When I got tired seeing the places, I requested Guru Nanak to return. I opened my eyes at the word of this Hindu Pir found that I was standing among this gathering with the bowl of pudding in my hand. The putting is still hot.
