Valmeel was a highwayman Valmiki who would rob and kill travellers passing by.
Then he began serving the true Guru, Now his mind became diffident about his work.
His mind still urged to kill people but his hands would not obey.
The true Guru made his mind tranquil and all the volition of mind came to an end.
He unfolded all the evils of mind before the Guru and said, ‘O Lord, this is a profession for me.’
The Guru asked him to enquire at home as to which family members would be co-partner him of his evil deeds at death.
But although his family were always ready to be sacrifice unto him, none of them were ready to accept responsibility.
On returning, the Guru placed the sermon of truth within his heart and made him a liberated one. With a single leap he was released from the net of worldliness.
Becoming gurmukh, one becomes capable of jumping across mountains of sins.
