“Even if you cut my body into pieces and I give up my life, I will never stop chanting Lord Hari’s Holy Name!” Were The Words of Haridas Thakur.
‘’Lash him in twenty two market places untill he dies. Beat him, Drag him, without any mercy, till he bleeds to death.’’ Kazi Shouted in Great Anger !
Whoever hears this narration will receive the full shelter of Lord Krishna. (Taken from Chaitanya Bhagavat, Chapter Sixteen, Adi Lila )
Srila Haridasa Thakura passed his time wandering on the banks of the Ganga chanting the name of the Supreme Lord Krishna.
The saint was held in full respect by the people of the village, and having won their trust, he lived there quite peacefully.
The local Qazi became envious of Haridasa Thakura's popularity and reported to the Nawab, "This man is acting like a Hindu; arrest him and punish him appropriately." The envious words of the sinful Qazi sparked an immediate response from the equally sinful Nawab, and Haridasa Thakura was arrested and brought forth. Haridasa had no fear of the Moslem authorities nor even of death itself. With the name of the Lord on his lips, Haridas appeared before the Nawab.
Because of his purity, Srila Haridasa Thakura radiated a certain effulgence which the Nawab could not fail to notice. He rose respectfully when Haridasa entered and offered the saint a seat. The Nawab asked Haridasa, "What sort of mentality has overcome you? Knowing you have the good fortune to become a Moslim, why do you behave like a Hindu? We do not even accept rice touched by a Hindu. Yet you want to ignore your high birth and become a low- caste Hindu? To discard your own race, land and religion for another is perverted. How do you expect to attain the liberated platform if you behave like this? I have decided to punish you according to the mandates of the Koran so that you will be freed from your sins."
Haridasa simply smiled at the Nawab and spoke in a sweet, soothing voice, "My dear Sir, there is only one God for all living entities. The difference between the Moslem god and the Hindu God is in name only. According to knowledgeable Hindus and Muslims, and every scriptures, be it Koran or Puran, God is one. He resides in everyone's heart.
"The Lord accepts everyone's individual mood of surrender towards Him. However, if one living entity feels hatred or envy toward another, he ultimately reflects those emotions in his relationship with the Lord. Whatever you see of me and my activities are direct manifestations of the Lord Who guides me from within.
A person may be born in a family of brahmanas but despite his high birth he demonstrates the perverted behavior of a fourth-class, uncultured person. What can the Hindus do with such a person.? He is forced to act in degrading ways because of his innate propensities, and he accordingly suffers or enjoys the reactions of his activities. What could be achieved by punishing him for activities which are an intrinsic part of his nature? My dear respected Sir, please consider these points seriously, and if you still find me guilty then punish me."
The Moslem courtiers were sincerely moved by the honesty of Haridasa Thakura's words and presence. But his wisdom could not penetrate the envious and sinful heart of the qazi who turned to the Nawab and instructed, "You must punish this man! He is evil and mischievous. Others will fall under his influence and become equally sinful. He will disgrace our Muslim religion and community. Therefore he must be appropriately punished. If he wants to be excused, then let him preach from his own scripture."
The Nawab tried again, "My friend, just speak from your own scripture and accept the path. Then you will have nothing to fear. Otherwise, the Qazis present will force me to punish you; they will revile and insult you. Why should you let that happen?"
"Whatever the Supreme Lord desires is destined to happen; there is no one who can check it," replied Haridasa. Each one of us suffers according to the degree of his previous offenses. You should know without a doubt that you are merely an instrument of the Lord's desire. Even if my body is cut into pieces and I loose my life, I will never give up chanting the Lord's holy name."
The Nawab heard the fearless reply of Srila Haridasa Thakura and turned to the Qazi, "Now what is your decision about him?"
