Shri Nathji often told the story of the Emperor Jehangir who went to a Fakir, only to find his way obstructed by a vicious dog.
Bar dare darvesh darbaan naa baayad! the Emperor shouted from without, there must be no dogs at the doors of saints!
And the Fakir shouted back:
Baayad! Taake sage duniyaan naa aayad!
“There must! So that the dogs of the world can gain no entry!
By the dogs of the world, the Fakir meant those who coveted the world, those whose egos had built themselves up in the midst of material possessions, those who had no place for God within their hearts and were given over to vice and wickedness.
