1:18G preliminary
1:20request God is infinite it is very
1:24difficult for Mortals of this limited
1:26realm to comprehend the true extent of
1:29our infinite Lord trying to understand
1:32him is impossible as the shallow depths
1:35of our intellect cannot fathom the
1:37boundless
1:39Lord trapped in this realm of
1:41materialism man falls into a lazy
1:44Slumber becoming oblivious and
1:47indifferent to the existence of the
1:49infinite being so from time to time the
1:54omnipotent Almighty Lord appears on this
1:57world stage in the form of a saint
2:00to rekindle our innermost desire to
2:03unite with him and remind lost souls the
2:06message that this is your once in a
2:09lifetime chance to meet the lord of the
2:12universe goind
2:15mil to write the biography of such a
2:18blessed and saintly personality who came
2:21to this world with the Lord's Divine
2:23blessings is extremely difficult for
2:26what is said of holy Saints they give
2:29the gift of of spiritual life apply men
2:32to devotion of the Lord and make men
2:35meet with God
2:39Gand fulfilling the true mission of
2:43spreading the gospel of vuru this true
2:46Saint mingled with the almighty our
2:49fifth Guru says of true
2:51Saints what glories of saints can I
2:54describe unfathomable is their knowledge
2:57and I know not their worth
3:05for almost 7 to 8 years the sik suat had
3:09asked on several occasions for a
3:11biography to be written about the life
3:13of
3:14babaii many a Time the thought
3:16repeatedly arose within me that whatever
3:19I had seen personally of Baba G's life
3:22what he had told me directly or the
3:25spiritual guidance I had gained from
3:27Baba's time on Earth should somehow be
3:29put to
3:30paper again I would lose heart thinking
3:34that only a highly spiritual blessed
3:37Soul possessing the most Sublime
3:39imagination can write about the
3:41teachings of such a revered
3:44soul to write about the Feats of a
3:47spiritually complete and highly
3:50developed Soul cannot be done Justice by
3:53those who are not as spiritually evolved
3:56as Baba
3:57was much time passed in this state of
4:00confusion and I was thus unable to write
4:03the life teachings of This truly great
4:06Saint again with the inspiration and
4:09blessings of the sth taking shelter of
4:12the true Guru and abiding by The Urge of
4:14obtaining blessings from Baba GI I
4:17venture to write the biography of this
4:19perfect Saint a Divine Soul a saint
4:22Soldier a complete gik s Baba harnam
4:26Singh G the basis of this biography of
4:29the great Saint is the audio cassettes
4:32which he recorded in
4:341970 and contains the main spiritual
4:37experiences of his life secondly with
4:40the grace of the true Guru this humble
4:42servant had the Good Fortune of having
4:45continuous company of the great saint
4:48for up to 35 years until Babaji breathed
4:52his last thirdly I inquired and collated
4:56as much information as I could from many
4:59s who met Babaji and received numerous
5:02spiritual instructions from him during
5:05his lifetime throughout the book only
5:08those life-changing incidents are
5:10recounted that will give the reader
5:12inspiration and spiritual teachings on
5:15the life of a true
5:17gurk this book Endeavors to inspire the
5:20reader to follow the path of the kalsa
5:23saint thus I have avoided the need to
5:26include non-essential details of his
5:28life in this age of materialism time is
5:32an expensive
5:34commodity little spare time is available
5:36to read about spirituality so only the
5:39essential details of Baba gi's life that
5:42will give the reader guidance are
5:45included
5:46here this humble servant will consider
5:49this endeavor a success if even one soul
5:53is inspired by the pious guidance of
5:56this biography and attains unity with
5:58the great Guru
6:01the life of the great Saint was purely a
6:03gurk life and it contained not an iota
6:06of his personal intellect whatever the
6:09guru has written the principles of the
6:12true sik to be Babaji was the living
6:15embodiment of that
6:17Vision need for an English

10:47Canada and America have found it
10:50difficult to understand the full
10:52meanings of the contents of the previous
10:55additions this is due to the difference
10:57in the nature of their spoken and
10:59written English the meanings of gurbani
11:02were given in this book but some of the
11:04actual quotes from gurbani were not
11:07there hence this made it hard to grasp

20:17these saintly persons have earned the
20:18wealth of Nam with great effort so their
20:22every word and deed becomes a lighthouse
20:25to the Curious spiritual Seeker although
20:28the Creator is invisible and not seen
20:31readily with these eyes his presence is
20:34felt in those persons who are in tune
20:37with the invisible force their sight has
20:40a soothing effect upon the mind and soul
20:43repairing our faith in God for this
20:46reason our ancestors have prayed to God
20:49to bless us with a company of saints
20:51meeting with such Saints reminds us that
20:54we too must recite his name say
21:02of these attuned imbued with n and
21:04blessed personalities of the kalaan S
21:08Baba Haram singhji of rampur Kira
21:11occupied a unique place his glowing and
21:14spiritually radiant face would exude
21:18peace and Tranquility all around with
21:21his constant meditation this once baren
21:24place became a blooming Center for
21:27preaching Sikhism
21:29due to his Pious gurmat preachings many
21:31Mortals were baptized and became worthy
21:34of sitting as gik in the lap of our
21:37great Guru babaii loved all giks equally
21:42as one big common family of Guru sahib
21:46it is commonly observed that ordinary
21:48Saints and sadhus are indifferent to the
21:51sick way of life and code of conduct not
21:54so with Babaji he was very firm in his
21:57belief in kurbani and the code of living
22:00given to us by our Guru even in his old
22:03age babaii would wear a 1ot long sword
22:07in his belt the GATRA this firm belief
22:10in the sick way of life attracted many
22:13devotees of the area who eventually
22:15became baptized this humble servant
22:18jinda Singh met with this Holy Soul in
22:21talw town in around
22:241970 the gurmat samagam for recitation
22:27of meditation on on Nam was
22:29Indescribable in terms of spiritual
22:31gains that one earns by attending
22:35however the personal gurmat way of life
22:38that babaii led left a deep and Lasting
22:41Impression upon my mind normally I have
22:44seen that the congregation would serve
22:47ordinary Saints but here an aged sick
22:50Saint would be seen serving food to the
22:53congregation my joy knew no bounds and I
22:57was overwhelmed his politeness humility
23:00affection and sense of unity with all
23:03gik left me Spellbound the program of
23:07meditation at the Nam meditation camps
23:10was so well planned that nobody would
23:12feel tired and no one had the time to
23:15gossip either starting at 2:00 a.m.
23:18right up until the evening the current
23:20of Nam and gurbani flowed I became
23:23addicted to the meditation camps to such
23:26an extent that I would arrive well
23:28before the camp started in order to gain
23:31the maximum benefit of the guru Ward
23:34company this continued for 4 years with
23:37the grace of God on one hand babaii had
23:40immense faith and love for gurbani which
23:43he gained through constant spiritual
23:45effort and on the other he was always
23:48eager to render service to the pth he
23:51had a burning desire that all followers
23:54of sism be baptized one day whenever he
23:57would organize a program for Kian and
24:00Kata it would be followed by a baptism
24:02ceremony Amrit prar he would
24:06informatically say no one can have a
24:08link to the Creator unless he becomes a
24:11baptized sick and becomes Guru W the six
24:16from the surrounding areas would in
24:18their spare time go to see babaii and
24:21receive training in reading and
24:24understanding gurbani this is called sya
24:27he used to recite one bti choe prayer
24:30over and above his personal schedule of
24:33prayers for the benefit and betterment
24:36of the kalsa pth Babaji would encourage
24:40others to recite an extra prayer for the
24:42pth too he often told us that the
24:45immediate future is terrifying and
24:48destructive for the pun on many
24:51occasions he did hard Penance over 40
24:54days when he would recite gurbani
24:56constantly for the protection of the
24:59kalaan during this tenure he would talk
25:03very sparingly and involve himself
25:05completely in gurbani whilst living in
25:08his small Hut with this Zeal he and his
25:12followers joined the Crusade the dham
25:15yud morcha started by the kala bth in
25:191982 wherever we go and sit let us talk
25:23good skim and drink only this nectar
25:31CH on this Crusade he converted the jail
25:34and any situation into a place of
25:37worship and meditation of gurbani the
25:40chief minister of that time was one of
25:42his followers he forbid babaii to join
25:45the Crusade politely but babaii did not
25:48agree he left all soft options and
25:51obligations to stand on the side of the
25:54Warriors to save the religion he stood
25:57by the kalsa SP even at the cost to his
26:00own health by the order of the great
26:03Guru they come near the Lord but
26:06disclose not their secret to
26:08[Music]
26:11anyone the afor mentioned is exactly
26:14suited in describing this great Saint he
26:18always concealed himself and tried to
26:20enjoin everyone to realize the
26:22almighty there is no denying that those
26:25giks who earn the wealth of Nam are
26:27follow followed by miraculous phenomena
26:30the nine treasures and 18 miraculous
26:33Powers go after him who keeps enshrine
26:37the lord's name within his
26:45mind the greatness of such giks lies in
26:48the fact that they never bother about
26:51these miraculous Powers instead of being
26:54distracted they follow the path of Nam
26:56meditation without looking here or there
27:00the Allure of miraculous Powers cannot
27:03distract the true devotee from the path
27:05of n meditation due to the grace of n
27:08meditation words spoken by such Saints
27:11become true they never use the power for
27:15fame personal gain and greatness they do
27:19not Fain personal greatness on the
27:21contrary they want the greatness of the
27:24Lord to be
27:25recognized yes the Creator blesses such
27:29holy souls with
27:31greatness God loves his praise and
27:34slaves who Praise Him hence causes his
27:37slaves to be
27:42acclaimed n is the master key to gain
27:44all the heights of material and
27:46spiritual progress whatever we ask from
27:50Nam we get it it is the order of gbani
27:53that all glories are in the lord's name
27:57so remember thou your God's name if man
28:00fixes his mind on his God's name he
28:03obtains all the things he asks
28:08[Music]
28:14for the Simon of Nam is food for the
28:17soul with it the soul becomes strong and
28:21healthy remember remember the name over
28:25and over again nanak it is the only
28:28support of the Soul simmer
28:34simmer Baba conducted a unique
28:37experiment based on the lines of gurbani
28:39from Suk sahib his name is the food for
28:42the hungry he proved in this experiment
28:45that Nam Simon is the complete diet for
28:48human life he spent 40 days in high
28:52moral Spirits without having taken food
28:55or water an atheist in this
28:58materialistic world may think it untrue
29:01but those lucky few who have faith in
29:04gurbani its true
29:06followers understand this completely
29:09gurbani is eternally true throughout the
29:12ages God's name is my food of 36
29:16varieties partaking of which I am
29:25satiated when n is food for the body
29:28Body and Soul it is also a wonderful
29:30medicine which can bring about
29:32miraculous cures Baba used this
29:35miraculous medicine himself and
29:38encourage others to use it too by the
29:41use of Medicine of n by ofar Singh and
29:45PIR Singh were cured of chronic
29:48illnesses they too then immerse
29:50themselves in N if someone would give
29:53babai credit for curing anyone he would
29:56reply like a true humble Umble
29:58self-effacing gurk that the miraculous
30:01powers belong to gurbani he would say
30:05the great Guru has cured them I was only
30:08entrusted with the duty to recite gurani
30:11for them in this context another point
30:14is worth mentioning by Sher singj
30:18ailment was partly cured when he started
30:20sweeping the Gara Courtyard every day
30:23this was his Penance issued by the five
30:26beloved ones our after this the great
30:29Guru appeared in a vision in his dream
30:31to direct him to the physician who would
30:33cure him thus the true Guru used the
30:36Curative powers of gurbani to provide a
30:39remedy to his ailment from this incident
30:42we learn the lesson that one should not
30:45waste the valuable gift of gbani on the
30:48upkeep of this perishable body the
30:50medicines are effective when the Lord
30:53himself stands in their midst OK AAS
30:57which are Kya there is no doubt that a
31:00gurmat imbibed way of life in which one
31:03meditates on Nam constantly is not
31:06touched by physical illness if due to
31:09past keric depths one does fall victim
31:12to an illness then to use gurbani and
31:15taking the shelter of the vuru does no
31:18harm it must be remembered that Nam
31:20medicine only becomes effective when it
31:23pleases the Lord when it is his will
31:27here I recall an incident When Baba was
31:30ill and being treated in hospital in
31:33amiter one day he was very ill and Dr
31:36haran Singh asked Baba you are in tune
31:40with the Creator why don't you beseech
31:42him to cure you baba laughed and said Dr
31:46sahab what is the use of begging for a
31:49cure for this perishable body one day it
31:52must perish if not today then
31:56tomorrow now there is only only one
31:58demand and that is to recite his name
32:01with the last breath and mingle with him
32:04whatever spiritual achievements Baba GI
32:06gained were due to the grace of the guru
32:08and his complete faith in Guru Gran sahb
32:11G before starting any work he would bow
32:15pay homage and ask for the guru's
32:17permission in the form of a hookum Nama
32:20if anyone invited him to their house he
32:22would reply that if the guru Wills him
32:24to have a glimpse of the suat then he
32:27would come
32:28he would perform an ardas at the feet of
32:31s Guru Grant sahb G and ask permission
32:34from the almighty first if the guru gave
32:37permission he would go otherwise not
32:41even the dates for the gurmat meditation
32:43camps the Nam abas kamay samagam were
32:46affixed in this manner thus he had
32:49completely surrendered himself to the
32:52Lord even though Baba had a firm belief
32:55in gurmat way of life he he always had
32:58due regard and respect for the thoughts
33:01of others one example of this to follow
33:04would help gik families immensely my
33:08mother left for her Heavenly sah
33:11part was recited for her departed Soul
33:14all near and dear kith and kin were
33:16invited to attend the last prayers and
33:18ardas for her this humble servant by
33:22Jinder Singh Tara sent a message to Baba
33:25through our close friend Dr Singh asking
33:29babaii to attend the ceremony it was
33:32made clear to Dr pretam Singh to tell
33:34babaii that the bog ceremony of the S
33:37part will be completed at mudham only Dr
33:41pretam Singh gave babaii the Letter of
33:44Invitation and the verbal message too
33:47after receiving the message Baba fell
33:49silent and replied we should attend on
33:52the basis that we are all linked at gurk
33:55into one family of the guru
33:58thus Baba GI participated in the final
34:01prayer ceremony of my mother and obliged
34:04me this is a shining example of the
34:07regard Baba GI had for all giks he
34:10showed practically that we are all GSK
34:13of the guru belonging to one family of
34:15the guru despite ideological differences
34:19opinions on issues he never sacrificed
34:23mutual love respect and cooperation
34:25among
34:26giks the great Guru likes the fact that
34:30in spite of differences gurs sit
34:33together with mutual respect and honor
34:35for one another so the task of writing
34:38this book about the Supreme Saint and
34:41true follower of Guru is
34:43praiseworthy the motive behind writing
34:46this book is only to describe the bonss

42:07leading a dedicated life based on the
42:10principles laid down by Guru nanak DV G
42:13up to the teachings of Siri gurug Gran
42:16sahab G he was the true incarnate of the
42:19person who recited Nam himself and then
42:22persuaded others to follow this path too
42:26he was an exemp man of his word
42:29practicing what he
42:30preached whoever met him was drawn to
42:33him and instead of leaving him was drawn
42:36closer and closer his saintly

42:53he distributed this Divine love to
42:56others around him
42:58his way of teaching was simple and
43:00effective whatever he said in life he
43:03would practice it at
43:05himself there is one incident in this
43:07book that while doing prayers of sukman
43:10sahib he came across the line he gives
43:13food to the hungry he wanted to know if
43:16a person could indeed survive on N alone
43:20without food and water to verify the
43:22truth of gbani he experimented over 40
43:26Days by not eating or drinking anything
43:29and taking the nourishment of the lord's
43:32name locked in his Hut he only recited
43:35the name of God and emerged 40 Days
43:38Later without any physical
43:41detriment I remember asking babai when
43:44he stayed with me here in England to
43:46clarify and expand on this incident
43:49babai emphatically told me we ate or
43:53drank nothing for 40 days I was
43:56inquisitive and replied Baba GI water is
44:00most essential for human survival didn't
44:03you even drink water I felt silent and
44:06thought to myself about how someone
44:09could survive 40 days without water Baba
44:12GI read my mind and replied harbinder
44:15sing G I did not drink water or eat
44:18anything because I felt no thirst or
44:21hunger for water or food so to
44:24authenticate the words of gurbani he he
44:27undertook this experiment God's name is
44:30my food of 36 varieties partaking of
44:34which I
44:41am he was a firm believer in gurbani and
44:44often said every word of gurbani is true
44:48and whatever I have obtained is from the
44:50feet of s gurug Gran sahib G if I have
44:54seen anyone worshiping gurbani as the
44:57embodiment of God then it is s Baba
45:00Haram Singh G starting early in the
45:03morning after bathing he would do his
45:05nitname Nam meditation and then with his
45:08own hands wash the altar where s gurug
45:11Gran sahb G was to be installed he would
45:14clean the Palin decorate the robes and
45:17sheets before placing s gurug Gran sahb
45:20G over his head and bringing guruji to
45:22enthrone upon the pedestral called the
45:25mji sahab the robes and sheets would be
45:28immaculately straight and ironed in his
45:31old age he would stand next to guruji's
45:34throne to oversee the installation of
45:36Siri gurug Gran sahab G before starting
45:39any job he would seek the permission of
45:42guruji by taking a hukum Nama from Sri
45:45gurug Gran sahab G if permission was
45:48granted only then would he proceed no
45:51matter how big the emergency was if any
45:54devotee sought his advice he would not
45:57just give his opinion he would seek the
45:59blessings of Sri gurug Gran sahb G and
46:02not assert his own ego he would take the
46:05devote to the gurara and ask him to do
46:08Adas in front of s gurug Gran sahib G he
46:12would offer Aras before eating drinking
46:15and before undertaking any sort of
46:18activity may my lust wrath aise worldly
46:22love and ego depart nanak has sought
46:25your protection oh oh lord of my Divine
46:28Guru have mercy upon
46:34me
46:38nadv regarding the Ws of the Mind Baba
46:41would say make supplication before the
46:43guru every gik should communicate with
46:46the great Guru through ardas if any of
46:49the five instincts of lust wrath greed
46:53attachment pride and vanity try to
46:56overpower the Mortal then that person
46:59should immediately engross himself or
47:01herself in prayer the guru will provide
47:05that soul with shelter from these
47:07instincts a True Believer is helped and
47:10guided through gurani when he visited
47:13England I once asked Baba what is the
47:16need to read gurbani when we don't
47:18understand its
47:19meanings babaii replied gurbani is the
47:23guru it has the power to eliminate
47:26Darkness
47:27I repeated my question differently and
47:29said if we do not understand gurbani
47:32that we read how will it help us he
47:35replied if when reading gurbani you do
47:38not follow its meanings even then try to
47:41be attentive to the word spoken whatever
47:44you utter listen and read the words
47:47affectionately then gurbani
47:49automatically shows its greatness and
47:52reveals its meanings clearly in due time
47:55the need is for pure emotion and
47:58devotion when reading and listening Baba
48:01gave the utmost regard to sth he would
48:04say in the Saints congregation the Lord
48:08abides as such it was his routine to
48:11serve the suut with his own hands he
48:13would always sit in the rose that is the
48:16pangat with the rest of the suut when
48:18taking lunger nitname was recited in
48:21groups so that everyone benefited to do
48:24nitname in a group is more beneficial
48:26and as like the airaa tree abiding with
48:30sandalwood tree gains its scent oh Lord
48:33you are the sandalwood I have acquired
48:36your
48:41qualities the Consciousness Rises when
48:44sitting in the company of holy persons
48:47moreover any errors in your prayers are
48:49removed whilst reading gurbani if some
48:52devote would question show me the path o
48:55Saints how can I meet my
49:02Lord Baba would ask the devote to sit
49:05with him when he was meditating the
49:07devote would be told the method of
49:09controlling the mind and techniques of
49:12meditation sometimes to a devotee
49:15lacking in spiritual achievement or
49:17lapsed on the spiritual path Baba GI
49:20would say where there is a guide to tell
49:22the way there is no one willing to
49:24follow and where there is someone to ask
49:27there is no one to guide but when the
49:30two aspects are united there is nothing
49:34incomplete left any devotee could meet
49:37him without reservations except when he
49:40was engrossed in his personal
49:42meditation there were no barriers to him
49:45his doors were always open to help the
49:48poor and the needy in this world such
49:51persons are rare to find Babaji was so
49:54liberal and broad-minded that if someone
49:57committed an error and asked for
49:59forgiveness felt remorse and vowed to
50:01reform his or her ways he would forgive
50:04them there and then he would never make
50:07him conscious of his mistake in
50:10future you are without enemity and your
50:13Saints are pure Baba was very punctual
50:17and kept his promises I remember he
50:20promised a family that he would attend
50:22their Bogue ceremony at rasulpur near
50:25Tanda urur the day day before and on the
50:28appointed day there was torrential rain
50:31all communication came down and the
50:33roads became impassible in the morning
50:35he began to say that he had promised to
50:38be at the bog ceremony in rasulpur so
50:41after he had finished his morning nthn
50:43name he set off on foot to the poog in
50:46rasulpur the family in rasulpur had
50:49given up home thinking that babaii would
50:51not come in this weather they were all W
50:54struck when babaii arrived and and
50:56greeted them with the guru's furu jik
51:00kala vuru ji fat he stuck to one more
51:04principal in his life and that was to
51:06recite bti choe as bti Cho sahib at
51:10least five times whenever traveling en
51:13rout to somewhere and then do Aras he
51:16would recite 27 bti choe part for the
51:19upliftment and divine protection of the
51:22kala panth his whole life was dedicated
51:25to this cause he had the utmost respect
51:28for the sword and hair and considered
51:30them a Divine gift from God and Guru
51:32Goin singj he would keep the Loose Hair
51:35from combing his hair and burn them
51:37respectfully many others who followed
51:40gurmad and the spiritual path seeking
51:42true n came into very close contact with
51:45babaii and knew him far better than I
51:48did I did not come into the company of
51:51babaii to meet the almighty due to some
51:54predestined Good Deeds my parents saw it
51:57fit to put me in the company of such a
52:00holy person no doubt I had the company
52:03of babaii but remained
52:06indifferent however the pious fragrant
52:08Soul did not abandon its nature of
52:11spreading the fragrance of N and as such
52:14overlooked my demerits and faults it was
52:17a unique blessing over me that the great
52:19Saint whenever I felt sad gloomy or
52:23lonely due to the lack of suut in the
52:26material istic world came to this
52:28country twice to bless me with his
52:31company my mind blossomed with pleasure
52:34and was in Bliss recalling his words as
52:37he embraced me I thought Kaka G is very
52:41sad so I should go and see him when he
52:45last came to see me in England I shared
52:47with him some incidents of my life which
52:50I couldn't share previously we sat in a
52:53quiet place where the great saint
52:56blessed me with many bounds and
52:58blessings these bounds have stood with
53:01me through thick and thin in the

59:50teachings and conduct taught by Baba's
59:53parents helped to unravel his saintly
59:55disp position from Early Childhood

1:00:11in playing with children though he would
1:00:13enjoy physical exercise in order to keep
1:00:16fit he had a strong and solid build
1:00:19which would allow him to overcome his
1:00:21companions in sport with ease at the
1:00:23turn of the century few resources were
1:00:26available for education and schools were
1:00:28only found in big cities consequently
1:00:30Baba was unable to receive schooling or
1:00:33education due to lack of schools in his
1:00:36area however as was a common practice in
1:00:39those days The Village gurara priest
1:00:42would teach gur Muki and gurbani to the
1:00:45children Baba's intense desire was to
1:00:48learn guki script so that he could read
1:00:50and recite gbani as soon as possible to
1:00:54this end babai Lear learned to read and
1:00:56write gurbani from gurara sahib
1:01:00granti thus he was able to acquire a
1:01:02good command of Punjabi to read study
1:01:05and understand our scriptures and
1:01:07historical books chapter
1:01:102
1:01:13marriage as was the age-old tradition
1:01:16parents usually betrothed their children
1:01:19at a young age at the age of about 8
1:01:21Baba's parents arranged his marriage to
1:01:24BB ganor of a near by Village called
1:01:28nalpur Jatan District
1:01:30Hur Babaji used to say that he pleaded
1:01:33with his mother dear Mother I request
1:01:36not to be married as I do not wish to
1:01:38become a family man his request not
1:01:41withstanding the marriage took place at
1:01:43the insistent of Baba's parents as if to
1:01:47complete a pre-ordained
1:01:49destiny a little over a year has passed
1:01:52bib ganor had not even visited Baba's
1:01:54house at tugga Village a second time
1:01:57when she fell victim to plague and
1:01:59passed away to her Heavenly aboard
1:02:03Baba's parents-in-law approached Sardar
1:02:05AAR Singh with a view to betro the
1:02:08younger daughter to babaii when Babaji
1:02:11came to know of this new development he
1:02:13firmly and with great determination
1:02:15declined the offer to his mother I don't
1:02:18wish to be a family man at all if you
1:02:21try to marry me again this bride too
1:02:23will not live long so please drop the
1:02:25idea of of getting me married Baba G's
1:02:27firm and prophetic words melted his
1:02:31mother's sentiments and she duly

1:02:36in-laws Baba spent all his life as a
1:02:39chest celibate Saint Soldier ATT tuning
1:02:42his conscious mind to the guru's Lotus
1:02:44feet thus he fulfilled the guru's words
1:02:48he whose eyes gaze not upon the beauty
1:02:50of others wives who serves the holy and
1:02:53bears the love to his Saints who with
1:02:57his ears hears not slander of anyone who
1:03:01deems himself the worst of all who by
1:03:04the guru's grace renounces wickedness
1:03:07who banishes his mind's desires from his
1:03:10soul and who conquers his lust and is
1:03:13free from the five sinful instincts
1:03:16nanak one amongst million there is
1:03:19scarcely such a person above these
1:03:21worldly attractions
1:03:26sad
1:03:28s chapter
1:03:303 in service of an udasi
1:03:35Saint as described from an early age
1:03:38Baba was determined not to follow a
1:03:40conventional married life and wanted to
1:03:42devote his whole life effort to attain
1:03:45God by becoming a sadu during these days
1:03:48two men from babaji's Village left their
1:03:51homes to become sadus but within a year
1:03:53had returned disenchanted
1:03:56no sooner had one of them come home that
1:03:58he started working back in his Fields
1:04:01farming the land the second man came
1:04:03home and for about 6 months thereafter
1:04:06set about giving holy ashes from his
1:04:09campfire to troubled people supposedly
1:04:12to bring them good fortune and Ward of
1:04:14bad spirits and Omens after a while he
1:04:17too gave up his aesthetic robes got
1:04:19married and started working Baba used to
1:04:22say that looking at these so-called
1:04:24sadus used to aroused a sense of
1:04:26grievance against sadus and made him
1:04:29question that if after a couple of years
1:04:31one is to give into worldly pleasures
1:04:34and material attachments then what is
1:04:36the use of leaving and renouncing your
1:04:38home in the first place surely it is
1:04:41more worthwhile to remain at home go
1:04:44about your daily chores remembering God
1:04:46by enshrining his name in your heart
1:04:49inside Babaji there was a deep yearning
1:04:51to meet God to fulfill his longing his
1:04:54soul needed guidance
1:04:56whenever Babaji came to know of any holy
1:04:58Saint visiting his area he would go to
1:05:01meet him he would keenly observe their
1:05:03way of living demia and meditation in
1:05:06order to gain an insight to the path of
1:05:09Salvation during these days one such
1:05:12udasi sadhu named sok Das came to Baba's
1:05:15Village he set up a camp in a deserted
1:05:18old Tom beside a pond Outside The
1:05:21Village at first babaii did not go to
1:05:24see the sadu one day it started to rain
1:05:27but the sadu sat with great Poise
1:05:30through the rain and did not get up to
1:05:32go into the village to beg for food or
1:05:34shelter it rained continuously for 3
1:05:37days and babaii observed the sadu from
1:05:40the distance every morning and evening
1:05:43to check if the sadu had perhaps left
1:05:45the Tom the sadu true to his name Santo
1:05:48Das means contentment and patience had
1:05:52remained steady fast for 3 days and his
1:05:54fortitude impressed ressed babaii deeply
1:05:57babaii immediately gathered some drywood
1:05:59food and water from home and bought them
1:06:02to the sadu Babaji made a small fire and
1:06:05served food to the sadu bringing much
1:06:07joy and satisfaction to Baba's heart any
1:06:11grievance babaii had against such
1:06:13aesthetic sadus vanished from his mind
1:06:15after witnessing the patience and
1:06:17content actions of
1:06:19SAS each day in the morning and evening
1:06:22Baba would take food and dry firewood
1:06:25for the s
1:06:26since there was no fresh water at the
1:06:28Tom Baba would carry as many buckets of
1:06:31water the sadu requested from the
1:06:33village to the tomb Baba would sit a
1:06:36while with the sadu learn about
1:06:38meditation and the rest of the time he
1:06:40would help his father farm the land he
1:06:42would work harder than his brothers to
1:06:44help his father plow the fields in this
1:06:47way the gurbani of pagat Nam DG was
1:06:50fulfilled with your hands and feet
1:06:53perform all your daily work but let your
1:06:55mind be attuned with the immaculate
1:07:01Lord Baba would fulfill his family
1:07:04obligations and carry out his spiritual
1:07:06duties of meditation as Guru nanak d g
1:07:09had fed some hungry sadu as a child so
1:07:13this great Saint soldier of Guru nanak d
1:07:15g served the udasi sadu with food and
1:07:17water Baba served the sadu out of
1:07:20respect but did not serve him with the
1:07:22intention of becoming an udasi sadu all
1:07:25the while he remained steadyfast in his
1:07:28belief and a true follower of gurmat
1:07:31throughout the day he would resite the
1:07:32gurman and the M man after a few years
1:07:36of serving sadu SAS the sadu tried to
1:07:39tempt babaii to follow his ways of
1:07:41meditation SAS tried to convince Baba GI
1:07:45recite some mystical charms for 40
1:07:48consecutive days and you will be
1:07:50rewarded with miraculous Powers such as
1:07:52commanding the spirits of the Hindu gods
1:07:54like Hanuman and Bon who will fulfill
1:07:57your every wish and command Baba
1:08:00declined this offer saying I yearn to
1:08:02meet Vu Almighty Lord the Creator and
1:08:05not his Creations I do not want to
1:08:07follow the path of wealth and miracles
1:08:09because these mystical Powers entice you
1:08:12into greed and attachment thus taking a
1:08:15person away from God as satguru Amash G
1:08:18says riches and the supernatural
1:08:21spiritual powers of the sidas are all
1:08:23emotional attachments through to them
1:08:26the N the name of the Lord does not come
1:08:28to dwell in the
1:08:29[Music]
1:08:33mind he himself is the Supreme master of
1:08:37all wealth and miraculous spiritual
1:08:39powers and all other external tastes and
1:08:42Pleasures are all like beads on a
1:08:46string chapter
1:08:484 disenchantment with sadu sok
1:08:53Das for 11 long years without fail Baba
1:08:57served the udasi saint one day whilst
1:09:00working in the fields an intense thought
1:09:02overwhelmed him who am I leaving his
1:09:06work aside he sat down and thought I am
1:09:08not just a mere body some conscious
1:09:11Force Within Me is driving me with this
1:09:14thought in mind he decided to ask the
1:09:16Salu about this question and so set off
1:09:19to meet him
1:09:20immediately upon arriving at the Tom he
1:09:23bowed respectfully to the sadu and asked
1:09:25him who am I the holy sadu listened
1:09:29intently but remained silent after a
1:09:32short period he answered Haram Singh if
1:09:35you wish to know the answer to your
1:09:36question then become my disciple by
1:09:39putting Ash in Your Hair It Is
1:09:41noteworthy that as a mark of renouncing
1:09:44worldly possessions and attachment
1:09:46Disciples of udasi cult rub ashes into
1:09:49their hair and body Baba being a sick
1:09:52had immense respect for his unshown hair
1:09:56which is the Glorious Crown gifted to a
1:09:58sick by almighty God he was deeply heard
1:10:01by the sadu request and thought surely
1:10:04the sadu thinks of me as a sick which I
1:10:07am indeed I have mistakenly been serving
1:10:10the sadu thinking him to be without
1:10:12prejudice for anyone surely he
1:10:14discriminates between a sick and oasi
1:10:17babaii replied immediately I serve you
1:10:20thinking you to be without prejudice
1:10:22treating all Humanity as one if you can
1:10:25can answer my question without making me
1:10:27a disciple and rubbing ashes into my
1:10:30hair then please do so otherwise I'm not
1:10:33ready to be a disciple or rub Ash on my
1:10:36god-given gift of C it is better that I
1:10:39do not ask you for spiritual guidance in
1:10:41the future from that day onwards any
1:10:43hope that babaii had of getting
1:10:45spiritual guidance from sadu suokas was
1:10:48broken disillusioned his main stay and
1:10:51Only Hope for spiritual guidance now was
1:10:54wuru
1:10:55nanak my main stay of Hope is the
1:10:58creator alone and I have renounced all
1:11:01other hopes nanak
1:11:05[Music]
1:11:09take chapter
1:11:125 spiritual guidance from sick
1:11:16Saints disenchanted with the advice from
1:11:19the udasi sadu Baba began to search for
1:11:22contemporary sick Saints to quench his
1:11:25thirst for Spiritual knowledge and
1:11:27Enlightenment Baba GI was hoping to find
1:11:30a sick Saint who had attained
1:11:32Enlightenment and Union with vuru
1:11:35furthermore he hoped that such a saint
1:11:37could vouch for the spiritual Bliss
1:11:39obtained by meditation on gurbani after
1:11:42a great deal of searching Baba could
1:11:45find no sick Saint who would give him
1:11:47such a guarantee because all the saints
1:11:49would impart their spiritual knowledge
1:11:51about sik Dharma only on condition that
1:11:54one became a discip deciple of their way
1:11:56of life it was as if all these Saints
1:12:00used the spiritual knowledge of gurug
1:12:01Grans G to further their own name many a
1:12:05Time Baba GI would spend days discussing
1:12:07the importance of Guru Gran sahab G
1:12:09being the word of God the only true Guru
1:12:13however these Saints would not give up
1:12:15their insistence On Believing in a
1:12:17living person to be a guru Baba GI was
1:12:20steadyfast in his belief that Guru Goin
1:12:22Singh G had enthroned Guru gr sah as the
1:12:25guru of the siks he instructed us that
1:12:28the word of God Shabad is the spiritual
1:12:32teacher that is the guru and not to
1:12:34place our faith in a living Guru
1:12:37furthermore Baba thought to himself that
1:12:39once a living Guru dies one would need
1:12:42to go looking for another Guru to
1:12:44replace the first one Baba knew that all
1:12:47six sing the praise of Guru granai g at
1:12:50the end of the Adas with love and
1:12:53devotion that by the order of the
1:12:56Timeless wuru started this enlightened
1:12:59path all SS are ordered that your Guru
1:13:02is the Gran in Guru Grant sah G believe
1:13:05it is the manifestation of all 10 gurus

1:13:2110th spiritual Master Guru Goin Singh G
1:13:24invok spoke the ultimate truth that Guru
1:13:26Gran G is indeed the word of God to us
1:13:30to follow and believe if we six do not
1:13:33follow the orders of our father then who
1:13:35else would we
1:13:36follow furthermore our fourth Guru Guru
1:13:40ramash gives us the order of the
1:13:42almighty vuru that the word of God is
1:13:46the guru the guru is the word of God
1:13:50within gurbani is embodied the whole
1:13:52nectar of
1:13:53immortality if the follow acts upon the
1:13:56message enjoined in the gurbani the guru
1:13:59in person saves the follower of
1:14:11gurbani
1:14:12Guru and the word of God Shabad is his
1:14:17Guru and spiritual guide profound and
1:14:20unfathomable without the Shabad this
1:14:23world has gone insane
1:14:30[Music]

1:14:55in gurug Gran SJ which state gurbani the
1:14:58word of God is the true Guru or
1:15:00spiritual guide Baba GI saw all mankind
1:15:03as Brethren and disliked the idea of
1:15:06having spiritual Masters and disciples
1:15:09Baba experienced further disappointment
1:15:11through his meetings with various Saints
1:15:14having lost his hope in worldly
1:15:16spiritual guides his last and only hope
1:15:19of Enlightenment lay in wuru alone he
1:15:22felt oh my soul grasp the support of one
1:15:25Lord forsake hope of all others oh nanak
1:15:29meditating on N the name of the Lord
1:15:32your Affairs will be

1:15:56taking shelter of gurug gr sahb
1:16:00G when his searching for enlightenment
1:16:03proved fruitless Baba was moved to deep
1:16:06sadness 2 or 3 days passed with his with
1:16:09him stricken with grief unable to answer
1:16:12his question at last he went to the
1:16:14gurara in his village Siri gurug Gran
1:16:17sahb G was enthroned and with utmost
1:16:19humility he bowed and prayed in front of
1:16:21guruji as Guru ramash G has uttered
1:16:25now I have come to you my lord Master
1:16:28weary now that I have sought your
1:16:30Sanctuary oh my Lord Master it is up to
1:16:33you to save me or slay me pause clever

1:18:07he couldn't remember how long he spent
1:18:09in loving prayer in front of guruji in
1:18:12this deep state of Supplication Baba
1:18:15Heard a Voice saying heram Singh take

1:18:27it henceforth Baba's questions were
1:18:30answered and his yearning desire to meet
1:18:32the true Guru gain Direction a few days
1:18:36later babaii traveled to takat Sri
1:18:38keskar sahib anandpur taking umit from
1:18:41the five beloved ones thus he set off on
1:18:45his gik journey as guruji
1:18:48described dear gik friend do as your
1:18:51Guru bids and follow his righteous steps
1:18:54now babaii had received two true
1:18:56guidance from God he was excited and
1:18:59eager all the while to see a vision of
1:19:01the almighty vuru Baba would raise well
1:19:05Before Dawn and take after taking a bath
1:19:08would recite his sacred nthn name he
1:19:10then performed all duties and tasks
1:19:12given to him by his brothers Baba G's
1:19:15father passed away when he was age 10 so
1:19:17all the brothers worked and farmed the
1:19:20land together he would carry on reciting
1:19:23the mol Mantra While Were working if for
1:19:25some reason he couldn't recite M man he
1:19:28would start repeating the gur man wuru
1:19:32thus his every breath was captured in
1:19:34meditation of the Lord and every breath
1:19:36was tinged with loving remembrance of
1:19:38God all the time babaji's yearning to
1:19:41meet with vuru grew more intense like
1:19:44the pangs of Separation felt by a wife

1:19:49yearning welled up deep felt prayer from
1:19:53his soul that by my beloved Lord I

1:20:59chapter
1:21:007 The Willpower of
1:21:04babaii Baba used to mention that during
1:21:07the years he spent serving sadu SAS in
1:21:10his village one day he casually told
1:21:13babaii that when a youth steps into
1:21:15manhood he should lower his gaze as a
1:21:17mark of humility for those who do not
1:21:21are often deceived by what they see the
1:21:23sad word words became engraved on Baba's
1:21:26heart When Baba was turning home that
1:21:29day a young lady was turning the corner
1:21:31in the street upon seeing Baba this
1:21:34young lady pulled her veil over her face
1:21:37as was the custom in those days as a
1:21:40measure of modesty young women would
1:21:42cover themselves in front of men Baba
1:21:45thought this woman covered her face in
1:21:47my presence because she considers me
1:21:49grown up I must therefore behave like an
1:21:52elder and lower my gaze
1:21:54the next day when babaii was going
1:21:56towards of fields to work a respectable
1:21:59Elder from the village saw him passing
1:22:01by and called out to babaii on calling
1:22:04him over he said heram Singh I need to
1:22:07advise you on a matter do not take me
1:22:09wrongly Babaji replied very politely
1:22:12bapuji please say what you must without
1:22:15hesitation I trust it will be for my
1:22:17benefit the Old Gentleman said man's
1:22:20youth is like a flooded River of
1:22:22emotions if one lose loses their
1:22:25foothold in the water you are carried
1:22:27with the water and only good fortune of
1:22:29your destiny can save you you are a
1:22:32deeply religious youth be vigilant of
1:22:36your mind and careful of your emotions
1:22:39do not look upon anyone with vanity or
1:22:41lust that's all this alone is the way to
1:22:44save yourself from
1:22:46misdeeds this advice from the Elder
1:22:48reinforced Baba's earlier conviction
1:22:51miraculously the old man's words sang
1:22:54deep and firmly into his being this
1:22:57incident gave Baba such great fortitude
1:22:59and willpower that for 34 years he lived
1:23:03amongst his family and the village he
1:23:06never looked upon another woman with bad
1:23:08intention he would go about his daily
1:23:10work in and around his house with his
1:23:13gaze lowered in respect and humility as
1:23:16a result of this thinking lustful
1:23:18thoughts would never arise in his mind
1:23:20or Cloud his Consciousness except for
1:23:23his mother Baba GI would avoid trivial
1:23:26chitchat with other women thus in his
1:23:29behavior he fulfilled the words of pagat
1:23:31namdev G he who forsakes another's
1:23:34wealth he who forsakes another's woman
1:23:37near him alone does God
1:23:45abide he whose eyes gaze not upon the
1:23:48beauty of another's wife who serves the
1:23:51holy Saints
1:23:53lovingly r
1:23:58these lines of gbani became the pillar
1:24:00of Baba's Chastity he did not feel any
1:24:04Temptation from Desires in attaining
1:24:06spiritual Heights he believed that the
1:24:09eyes play a major role in making our
1:24:11mind Wonder outside whatever a man sees
1:24:14with his eyes is received by the mind
1:24:16and under the attraction of
1:24:17materialistic things the mind then
1:24:19wanders outwardly the more we try to
1:24:22control this extrovert nature of the
1:24:24Mind the quicker we'll be able to
1:24:26concentrate our minds on meditation all
1:24:29spiritual achievements are proportional
1:24:31to the concentration of our mind it is
1:24:34essential that the mind be controlled by
1:24:36restraining the eyes chapter

1:25:11the fields from dawn until the evening
1:25:14he would then come home with his
1:25:15brothers and prepare fod for the cattle
1:25:18by hand as in those days there were no
1:25:20machines to prepare and shed the hay

1:25:25and bathe before his evening meal
1:25:27thereafter Baba G would go to the nearby
1:25:30Canal a short distance from the village

1:25:34evening prayers of raras he would then
1:25:38meditate on the gurman and M manther
1:25:40late into the night if he fell drowsy
1:25:43due to tiredness from his daytime work
1:25:46he would splash water in his eyes to
1:25:48keep awake failing this if he still felt
1:25:51lethargic he would stand in the cold
1:25:53water of the canal and carry on with a
1:25:55Simon recitation and Remembrance when he

1:26:20that there wasn't a single day that he
1:26:21lagged behind his brothers in getting up
1:26:23for work guruji's Grace was such that in
1:26:26due course his need to sleep was so
1:26:29little that even a few moments of shut
1:26:32ey during the night was enough sleep for
1:26:34the whole day with God's grace Baba was
1:26:38would feel no physical or mental fatigue
1:26:41despite so little sleep at about 5:00 he
1:26:45would pick up the plow and head towards

1:33:15and personal meditation he would take
1:33:17out time to learn how to read and

1:33:22correctly by hardit singj who was a
1:33:25learned and scholarly sick lived in a
1:33:27nearby Village Baba would travel to this
1:33:29nearby Village in order to get
1:33:32Sania while traveling between the two
1:33:34Villages babaii committed to memory
1:33:36sukman sahab and assaj jar by reading
1:33:39from auta he Incorporated these two
1:33:42prayers into a schedule of daily prayers
1:33:45to recite in the evening it became the
1:33:47daily routine of babai to listen to
1:33:49stories and tales of our gurus and SS
1:33:52from various historical text say usually
1:33:55read to him by his younger brother P
1:33:57takur sing G in this way Not only was he
1:34:01gaining spiritual Insight from gbani and
1:34:03meeting with scholarly SS but also
1:34:05gained further spiritual wisdom from
1:34:08listening to Holy scriptures when one
1:34:10scripture was finished he would start
1:34:12another one he thus continued with
1:34:14fortitude in this routine standing or

1:34:36from other religions thus he deepened
1:34:39his knowledge and understanding of other
1:34:41faiths the fruit of the study of
1:34:43different religions and their scriptures
1:34:45was an awareness that all holy texts are

1:35:17chapter
1:35:189 visitation by Guru nanak d g and a
1:35:21poisonous snake
1:35:25one evening babaii sat in deep
1:35:27meditation next to a small Canal near
1:35:29his home suddenly Baba's attention was
1:35:32drawn to a rustle of dry leaves a little
1:35:35distance from where he was sitting it
1:35:37was a moonlit night babaii saw the brown
1:35:40and yellow outline of a snake about 2 to
1:35:433 ft long slithering towards him it was
1:35:46raised his hood and lung forward a few
1:35:48feet at a time the snake had only moved
1:35:51a few lengths towards him when babaii
1:35:54thought the next time the snate lunges
1:35:56forward it will surely land on me babaii
1:36:00recounted at that very instant instead
1:36:03of fear and panic a clear reasoning
1:36:05sprang to my mind that surely the light
1:36:07of God resides in this poisonous snake
1:36:09too maybe the great Guru has sent the
1:36:12snake to test my resolve and faith maybe
1:36:15guruji wishes to test how attached I am
1:36:18to this body my mind became calm and
1:36:20steady and with immovable faith instead
1:36:24on its next move the snake raised his
1:36:26head and landed on my shoes next to my
1:36:29feet the snake then fell still on the
1:36:31shoes as babaii told us this was a
1:36:34poisonous snake particular to that
1:36:36region of Pakistan he looked upon the
1:36:39snake which now lowered its Hood circled
1:36:41around babaii and wriggled Away towards
1:36:44the direction from which it came
1:36:46witnessing the miracle my mind melted in
1:36:49gratitude to the almighty God every pore
1:36:52of my body erupted enjoyous gratitude to
1:36:54Almighty vuru blessed and graced is God
1:36:58who protects his humblest servants from
1:37:00harm even from poisonous snakes praised
1:37:03be to the almighty his will Bears upon
1:37:06all his Creations Baba continued my mind
1:37:09was drenched in gratitude and
1:37:11Thanksgiving to almighty God whilst my
1:37:13inner being was absorbed in deep waves
1:37:16of meditation overcome by a tired of
1:37:18joyous ecstasy a little while later
1:37:21still in deep state a sensation of
1:37:24intense resplendant light dawned upon me
1:37:27and this light surrounded and bathed me
1:37:30inside my soul was relishing such peace
1:37:33and tranquility and pleasure that cannot
1:37:35be described in
1:37:37words Baba was deeply incrossed in the
1:37:40state of being and meditation the
1:37:42intensity of the light he felt grew
1:37:44further low and behold the great baba
1:37:48gurun nanak D G appeared in person
1:37:50before Baba gi's very eyes s Guru nanak
1:37:53d g appeared vividly and placed his
1:37:56sacred hand on Baba's head in order to
1:37:58bless him in the next moment Baba felt
1:38:01as if Guru nanak d g was inside his
1:38:04being and outside whilst his hand was
1:38:06still resting on his head that was it
1:38:09what else remained to be asked the great

1:39:55relished and enjoyed the spiritual Bliss
1:39:57with great pleasure until the sun came
1:39:59up it became very hot and I returned
1:40:02home at about 11:00 recalled Baba he had
1:40:06something to eat and returned to the
1:40:08same place to carry on meditating no
1:40:11doubt I felt deep waves of easy and
1:40:13spiritual Bliss when I meditated again
1:40:16but it was less intense than the night
1:40:18before when guruji had blessed me with
1:40:20an audience nonetheless the event of the
1:40:23night previous had left me feeling a
1:40:26great closeness inside and outside to
1:40:29the great Guru within and around me with
1:40:32this resplendant and radiant Aura which
1:40:34did not Reed even when the night
1:40:37fell even in the dark this light was so
1:40:40intense that it appeared brighter than
1:40:42the light from many suns put together
1:40:44Baba told us Baba became a little
1:40:47concerned with the glow of the outer
1:40:49light that people may see this light
1:40:51drawing attention to him and becoming
1:40:53the focus of idolator and worship this
1:40:56would give rise to a sense of vanity in
1:40:58the mind and become an obstacle to
1:41:00meeting the Lord Kabir has made many
1:41:04students and disciples but has not made
1:41:07God his friend he set out on a journey
1:41:09to meet the Lord but his mind deserted
1:41:12him
1:41:16halfway Baba prayed to the almighty with
1:41:19all humility to control this outer light
1:41:22but to keep his Consciousness connected
1:41:24inly with him the great Guru heard
1:41:27Baba's plea and controlled the outer
1:41:29appearance of light however he kept
1:41:32showering his Sublime Grace and light
1:41:34inwardly upon Him chapter

1:43:03is heavy so we need to seek a farm hand
1:43:06or a worker when you find an appropriate
1:43:08laborer I will stop working then in a
1:43:11matter of a day a hardworking faithful
1:43:14Farm worker was hired to take up the
1:43:16work done by babaii now with the time
1:43:19that was previously spent working on the

1:44:07meditate on the N of the one Lord all
1:44:09other jobs are useless in comparison in
1:44:12his efforts he was fulfilling and
1:44:14realizing the words the work of earning
1:44:17the true wealth of loving the true
1:44:20Lord chapter 11
1:44:23visitation by the 10th
1:44:27Guru Baba's family had a purpose built
1:44:31room in their fields where one would
1:44:33Lodge for the night and watch over the
1:44:35crops anytime babaii wanted to meditate
1:44:38in solitude or had any spare time he
1:44:40would often come and sit in the solitary
1:44:43room on the farm One Summer during the
1:44:46particularly hot month of May or June
1:44:48babaii sat indoors out of the sun
1:44:51reciting the M man Sun L the door opened
1:44:54there entered a gik with a very radiant
1:44:56and enlightened face and stood before
1:44:59babaii Baba told us we greeted each
1:45:02other by saying wuru J kalu ji fat the
1:45:07gik spoke you must get ready the 10th
1:45:10Master Guru Goin singhh G is about to
1:45:12Grace you with an audience the prospect
1:45:15of a visit by the 10th Guru left me
1:45:17thrilled and elated Baba told us we
1:45:21eagerly we both St Ste outside in
1:45:23Readiness for the visit of Guru Goan
1:45:25singhji Maharaj at a short distance from
1:45:28the West I saw guruji riding a horse
1:45:31accompanied by four other siks guruji's
1:45:34horse came near and stood still with
1:45:36utmost reverence I bowed and touched
1:45:38Guru G's feet in the Stirrup Guru Goin
1:45:41Singh G smiled and walked his Ste ahead
1:45:44after a short distance he disappeared I
1:45:47was completely enthralled and wond
1:45:49struck with this visit the guruk who had
1:45:52come to announce the impending arrival
1:45:54of guruji stayed and Stood Beside babai
1:45:56he asked babaii P heram singu you should
1:46:00be extremely happy and full of bliss yet
1:46:02you look astonished and gloomy somewhat
1:46:05what is the reason Baba replied I am
1:46:07gloomy because guruji blessed me with
1:46:09his vision but he did not say anything
1:46:12to me the gurus sik said guruji is very
1:46:15pleased with your meditation thus he has
1:46:17blessed you with a visit he did not
1:46:19Grant you a conversation as you do not
1:46:21recite jabab in your daily niame Baba
1:46:25replied jabab is very difficult to read
1:46:28and recite so instead of reading jabab I
1:46:31read Suk sahab or asaar daily the gik
1:46:35replied guruji has ordered us to recite
1:46:37jabsa as a part of our daily nitname so
1:46:40we must follow his orders and appease
1:46:42him thus obtaining His blessings if a
1:46:45sick reads other prayers of his own
1:46:47choosing so be it however he or she is
1:46:50deprived of the blessings of guruji by
1:46:53not fulfilling the addict of guruji a
1:46:55gusik who reads the daily prayers
1:46:57prescribed to us by the five beloved
1:46:59ones during am ceremony and then in
1:47:01addition meditates on and recites other
1:47:04prayers certainly appeases guruji he who
1:47:07does not obey the guruji's addict is
1:47:10deprived of His blessings after that day
1:47:13no matter how long it took babaii to
1:47:15recite jab sa he never completed his
1:47:18nitname without saying the prayer of jab
1:47:21sahb in time learned the prayers of
1:47:24jabsa of by heart so that he could
1:47:26complete his name anywhere without the
1:47:28need for the gka gurbani also enjoins us
1:47:32to obey God's command obeying his
1:47:35command man becomes acceptable and he
1:47:38obtains a place in the Lord's
1:47:41[Music]
1:47:45mansion and he who submits to the Lord's
1:47:48order is taken into his treasury hukum
1:47:52Ray
1:47:56in the matter of appeasing the guru and
1:47:58obtaining His blessings there is no
1:48:00relaxation or pretend in following the
1:48:03Commandments of our Guru he alone is the
1:48:06true disciple friend and Kinsman and
1:48:09brother who walks in the guru's Will He
1:48:11Who Walks according to his own will
1:48:14brother he is separated from the Lord
1:48:16and suffers injury so s
1:48:28in sism obeying the command of the guru
1:48:31is the ultimate aim the Lord Almighty
1:48:34accepts one who abides by the guru's
1:48:36order in reality sism is about Obedience
1:48:40of the guru's will whoever obeys the
1:48:43will of God that person becomes
1:48:45acceptable to the Lord
1:48:49h and a true disciple bows to the will
1:48:52of of Lord then the disciple finds peace
1:48:55in obeying the will in his will the
1:48:57disciple worships and remembers the Lord
1:49:00in his will does the true disciple merge
1:49:03in the
1:49:15Lord babaa obeyed the orders and every
1:49:18command of gurun nanak d g he carried
1:49:21out the orders with a glad heart without
1:49:24question due to his obedience Guru nanak
1:49:26d g blessed P lenan G by instilling his
1:49:29own Divine Light in him thus
1:49:31transforming p g into Guru angad G he
1:49:35who obeys the guru's addict was
1:49:37acceptable whoever submits to the Lord's
1:49:40will is blessed with peace the Lord has
1:49:42command over the heads of kings and
1:49:45Emperors
1:49:51hokam and if you obey the guru's order
1:49:54then you shall meet him then alone shall
1:49:57ego depart from within you
1:50:03H so for a G the teachings given to us
1:50:07by the five beloved ones during baptism
1:50:10are akin to the guru's order one must
1:50:12Endeavor to follow the guru's order else
1:50:15be deprived of His blessings and
1:50:18Grace chapter
1:50:2012 correct time for the prayer called
1:50:24chandi
1:50:26darar Baba used to recite the prayer of
1:50:29chandi darar daily as a part of his
1:50:31nickname this is a prayer composed by
1:50:34the 10th Guru describing a battle
1:50:36between demons and the goddess called
1:50:37chandi it is usually recited by six
1:50:40during war many a time a question would
1:50:43arise in his mind as to how many times
1:50:45and at what time one should recite the
1:50:47prayer of chandi darar Baba asked many
1:50:51Saints and sadus regarding this question
1:50:53but could not get a satisfactory answer
1:50:56one evening at his room in the fields
1:50:59after reciting the evening prayer of Ras
1:51:01Baba went on to recite the prayer of
1:51:04chundi darar after completing the prayer
1:51:06he prepared to retire by saying his last
1:51:09prayer of SOA it was a moonlit night and
1:51:12the doors of the room in which he was
1:51:14sleeping were open as he had just laid
1:51:18down he noticed two men approaching at a
1:51:20short distance Baba thought to himself
1:51:24that if these pedestrians were just
1:51:26Travelers he would offer them food and
1:51:27shelter for the night and if they were
1:51:29robbers then he would challenge them in
1:51:32combat no sooner had the thought entered
1:51:34his
1:51:35mind that miraculously one of the sings
1:51:38came beside him and grabbed his feet the
1:51:41other one seized Baba's head and pinned
1:51:43him down onto the bed Baba used to tell
1:51:46us I was unable to move from the bed a
1:51:49thought entered my mind that these two
1:51:51who have moved faster than the speed of
1:51:53light in order to grasp me are neither
1:51:56robbers nor Travelers these two must be
1:51:58Shahed sings The Immortal Souls of sick
1:52:02martys I began to recite the mul man I
1:52:05had only uttered the mol Man twice when
1:52:08the sing who held my head down let go
1:52:10followed by the second Singh who was
1:52:12holding my feet baba got up and the
1:52:15Shahed sings explained we did not come
1:52:18here to fight with you or seize you but
1:52:20to answer your question regarding the
1:52:22correct time to recite the prayer of
1:52:24chandi diwar as you thought about
1:52:26offering us a fight we came and
1:52:29immediately seiz you as we did the shiid
1:52:32Singh continued if you start reciting
1:52:34the prayer of chandi diwar after Sunset
1:52:37then one must keep reciting it
1:52:40continuously throughout the night until
1:52:42dawn two or more sings may take turns to
1:52:45recite this prayer through the night it
1:52:48is all right to do so one must sit upon
1:52:51a clean mat or bed bathing before
1:52:53reciting the prayer an oil lamp lit with
1:52:56clarified butter should be kept a light
1:52:59throughout the night during the day one
1:53:01can recite chanar as many times as one
1:53:04wants there is no specific practice to
1:53:06recite the prayer except that one reads
1:53:09the prayer with devotion and
1:53:11understanding after explaining these
1:53:13instructions the sings disappeared
1:53:15through the door towards the direction
1:53:17they had come
1:53:18from chapter

2:01:29behalf for him to be forgiven Baba GI
2:01:32asked the Shahed sings if you order it I

2:01:45mistake we will release him now but he
2:01:48does not deserve to be pardoned after

2:01:59Shahed sings had grabbed him the hand

2:02:13thank almighty God was performed now the
2:02:16same sadar atar Singh who could not even

2:02:22to walk about himself unaided in a few
2:02:26weeks he was Stout and healthy Baba GI
2:02:29questioned sadar AAR Singh about the
2:02:31incident narrated to him by Shahed sings
2:02:33he disclosed to sadar AAR Singh how he
2:02:36had come to know of sadar ofar Singh's
2:02:39indiscretion Baba later came to know
2:02:42that Sardar AAR Singh had become a
2:02:44communist as in those days there was a
2:02:46wave of marxist thinking among the youth
2:02:49he was even a congress worker and in his
2:02:51college day days was a Marxist
2:02:53supporter he advised sarar Singh to
2:02:56follow the footsteps of the great Guru
2:02:58in future with reverence or respect and
2:03:01affection as long as sadar AAR Singh
2:03:04remembered his agonizing ordal he
2:03:06continued to remember God by reciting
2:03:09gani after a while he slipped in his
2:03:11routine of recitation of gurbani and
2:03:13remembering God Almighty after his
2:03:16encounter with death and despair from
2:03:18the world he ought to have forsaken his
2:03:20worldly attachment and tied a firm knot
2:03:23of attachment to the guru's feet alas
2:03:26without good Destiny one cannot serve
2:03:29the Lord

2:12:32Reflections is
2:12:36burned as a wealthy Tycoon conceals his
2:12:39wealth and reveals only a small part of
2:12:42it when it is utmost need similarly
2:12:45babaii hesitated in revealing The
2:12:47Treasure of Nam graced upon him by the
2:12:49true Guru whatever Tes of spiritual
2:12:52insights he was blessed with through n
2:12:54meditation he bore and observed quietly
2:12:57within his heart with the guru's
2:12:59blessings he lived amongst the Ordinary
2:13:01World Without attracting undue attention
2:13:04to himself in the early days of his
2:13:07spiritual transformation when guruji
2:13:10blessed him with a visitation spiritual
2:13:12insights or knowledge Baba would pen
2:13:15down these experiences in a
2:13:17diary Baba began to write these self
2:13:21experiened exchange of words with the
2:13:23great Guru so that any true follower May
2:13:26attune himself with Almighty after his
2:13:28mortal body turned into ashes Baba
2:13:31neither allowed anybody to call him a
2:13:34saint nor any utmost respected
2:13:37addressing words were allowed to be used
2:13:39for him he used to say we are all the
2:13:41children of the true Guru so we are
2:13:44brothers therefore we should address
2:13:46each other as PAB moreover the position
2:13:49of PAB is the high highest in the guru's
2:13:52home so the old Companions of babaii
2:13:55used to address him as PAB and even now
2:13:58use it but due to old age he was
2:14:01addressed as Baba by the remaining suut
2:14:05Baba would pen down these experiences in
2:14:08a diary Baba began to write these
2:14:11personal spiritual experiences with the
2:14:13great Guru Baba wish these experiences
2:14:16to be published after his death so that
2:14:18any follower May read about them and un
2:14:20tune himself with the almighty the diary
2:14:23was kept under lock and key in a
2:14:25wardrobe once a companion of babaii was
2:14:28staying the night at his house in Chuck
2:14:30119 soda as was his routine babaii went
2:14:34to his favorite place to meditate beside
2:14:37the canal n's house well Before Dawn for
2:14:41some reason the Wardrobe was left
2:14:43unlocked not withstanding his curiosity
2:14:46this companion could not help himself
2:14:48and read the sacred diary after after 3
2:14:51or 4 hours when babaii returned the
2:14:53companion addressed babaii PAB G guruji
2:14:57has blessed you with his Visions talked
2:15:00and visited you on numerous occasions
2:15:02yet you have never revealed any of this
2:15:04to us Baba GI inquired how do you know
2:15:07that I have talked to and had visions of
2:15:10the true Guru this companion admitted
2:15:12then I have read your handwritten diary
2:15:15that was in your wardrobe in it you have
2:15:18pan down all these utterances and
2:15:20visitations by the true Guru Baba said
2:15:23Gravely you have not done a good deed it
2:15:25is not good to unrel someone's spiritual
2:15:28secrets so what is done is done I
2:15:31request politely that you do not
2:15:32disclose the secrets of diary to anyone
2:15:35from now
2:15:36onwards that companion did not keep his
2:15:38word over time he revealed to all his
2:15:41friends and companions the spiritual
2:15:43Heights Baba has achieved as written in
2:15:46his diary in time people who found out
2:15:49about the true spiritual accomp lments
2:15:51of Baba started to come and see him
2:15:54demanding to read the diary or to be
2:15:56told about conversations and visit by
2:15:58the great Guru Baba would try to
2:16:01distract them from such topics and put
2:16:03these people off one day a thought came
2:16:06to babaii that if anyone else reads this
2:16:09diary then they will try tell many
2:16:11others about the spiritual gift that had
2:16:14been given to me by guruji soon people
2:16:16will start coming with worldly demands
2:16:18and ask for selfish bones and
2:16:21materialistic things if I refuse to help
2:16:23them they will return disappointed if
2:16:26their desires are fulfilled then they
2:16:28will encourage even more people to come
2:16:30and soon they will venerate me instead
2:16:33of God this will give rise to vanity and
2:16:36attachment to this world the mind will
2:16:38be entangled in these Pursuits as pagat
2:16:41kabi says Kabir has made many students
2:16:44and disciples but has not made God his
2:16:47friend he set out on a journey to meet
2:16:49the Lord but his mind deserted him
2:17:01halfway one had started meditating on N
2:17:04for salvation and to meet the Lord
2:17:06Almighty not to entice people to R and
2:17:09worship me if the feeling of benevolence
2:17:11becomes great before the time of
2:17:13salvation of the Soul arrives then it
2:17:16may become a hurdle in my spiritual
2:17:18progress towards Redemption of the Soul
2:17:21Baba used to say that after much thought
2:17:23he decided not to write down his
2:17:25spiritual experiences in the future and
2:17:28the diary he kept was put in the fire
2:17:29and burned had the written diary and all
2:17:32the spiritual experiences of Baba
2:17:34survived then today they would have
2:17:36become an invaluable treasure for future
2:17:39generation of spiritual Seekers of n
2:17:42however God's will is done on 2 24th
2:17:45September 1970 at the age of 73 Baba GI
2:17:49narrated some of his experiences and
2:17:51life incidents which were recorded on an

2:22:18asked in detail about P Shar s's illness
2:22:21and then prescribed some medicines after
2:22:24a few days of taking this medicine P
2:22:26Shar Singh was cured by Sher singi had
2:22:29tried numerous remedies before but with
2:22:32no improvement at all this cure was a
2:22:35blessing wrapped up in the guise of
2:22:37medicine I have grown wey of treating
2:22:40myself with many medicines how can this
2:22:43deed be eradicated without the guru
2:22:50G and the medicine of Nam becomes
2:22:54effectual when the Lord stands
2:22:57amidst AAS which up kalya P Shar Singh
2:23:01was already cured by the grace and
2:23:03benevolent vision of the guru the
2:23:06medicine was just an excuse to bring
2:23:08about a complete cure after this
2:23:10incident P Shar Singh developed
2:23:12tremendous faith in the true Guru with
2:23:15the grace of the guru he was completely
2:23:17cured he now worked vigorously in his
2:23:20fields and simultaneously followed the
2:23:22guru's edict whether standing sitting or
2:23:25sleeping meditate on your lord walking
2:23:28this path sing the praise of the Lord
2:23:36Master therefore he made a profitable
2:23:39job of working and reciting his name all
2:23:42the while he would pray oh Bountiful
2:23:45Lord Forget Me Not and bless me with
2:23:47your n this alone is the Fant request of

2:24:30s This truly Noble Deed uplifted by
2:24:33chasing to new spiritual Heights yet all
2:24:36the while he continued his humble duty
2:24:39of sweeping the floor of the
2:24:40[Music]
2:24:42gurara chapter
2:24:4418 wardrobe lock is opened by prayer
2:24:51as for his daily routine P Sher Singh
2:24:53was reciting mul man after sweeping the
2:24:55guru floor four or five other devotees
2:24:58who used to come daily to bow to Siri
2:25:00Guru gr s g sat in the Gara waiting to
2:25:04gain a glimpse of the true Guru the
2:25:07priest had mislaid the keys to the lock
2:25:09of the Wardrobe where all the covers and
2:25:11Robes of s gurug Gran sahb G were kept
2:25:14these are called ralas these ornate
2:25:17covers are decorated over SRI gurug gr
2:25:19sahab G
2:25:20after searching high and low the key
2:25:22could not be found all the ralas were
2:25:25locked in the wardrobe finally the other
2:25:27devotees decided to break open the lock
2:25:30of the Wardrobe P Sher Singh was deep in
2:25:33meditation and infused with Resolute
2:25:35faith in the true Guru instead of
2:25:38breaking the lock of the Wardrobe he
2:25:39counseled the rest of the suat to pray
2:25:41to the almighty God Adas has immense
2:25:44power in it and I believe guruji will
2:25:46open the lock when he hears our prayer
2:25:49all those listened to the words of P
2:25:51Shar Singh and one of the devotees
2:25:54requested PAB to conduct the ardas PAB
2:25:57agreed and prepared himself to submit a
2:25:59supplication to the wuru reciting
2:26:02whatever he could of ardas he beseeched
2:26:04the almighty invoking the name of 10
2:26:07gurus and Sir gurug Gran sahb G to open
2:26:09the lock on the
2:26:10Wardrobe after bowing to the true Guru
2:26:13he walk up to the Wardrobe and as soon
2:26:16as he touched the log it opened everyone
2:26:19was astonished
2:26:20the lock on the Wardrobe opened but
2:26:23simultaneously the inner spiritual locks
2:26:25of P sharing were open too the true Guru
2:26:29showered immense blessings on him giving
2:26:31him deep insight and spiritual knowledge
2:26:34how the great Guru empowered him to
2:26:36serve others how his words were blessed
2:26:39to come true and how he was given the
2:26:41gift of Prophecy is a subject of
2:26:43separate
2:26:45discussion thus those who suffered from
2:26:48leprosy were cured when p Shar Singh G
2:26:51would pray for them in the Lotus feet of
2:26:53the guru as such the wife of shamsher
2:26:56Singh the Inspector General of Punjab
2:26:58police at that time was cured of leprosy
2:27:01when PIR singj did ardas for her
2:27:03well-being those who have seen PIR Singh
2:27:06know how deep a spiritual Insight s Guru
2:27:10gr Saj has bestowed upon him any devotee
2:27:13who came to him for deliverance from
2:27:15impediments P sahab would be able to see
2:27:18into their past lives and point out what
2:27:21misdeeds had led them to their present
2:27:23suffering and Agony in this life this
2:27:26humble servant son saas Singh had the
2:27:29opportunity and honor of meeting PIR
2:27:32Singh on many occasions he would often
2:27:34come to rampur Kira to meet and pay
2:27:36respects to babaii which afforded this
2:27:39humble servant further opportunity to
2:27:42meet by Shar Singh as guruji says the
2:27:46nine treasures and 18 miraculous Powers
2:27:48follow him whoever enshrines the name of
2:27:51the Lord in his
2:27:52[Music]
2:27:59mind when one is blessed with the
2:28:01concentration of Mind through meditation
2:28:03on N then such spiritual gifts of
2:28:06insight and miraculous powers are
2:28:07obtained with ease babaj used to say
2:28:11that the pursuit of such miraculous
2:28:12Powers distracts the true Seeker from
2:28:15obtaining the supreme position of Union
2:28:17with the almighty Lord even if a gik
2:28:21achieves such Powers he or she must not
2:28:23use them without the expressed wishes of
2:28:26the true Guru these Powers must be
2:28:28endured within he who absorbs and bears
2:28:32the spiritual Powers within becomes one
2:28:34with the indestructible Lord the
2:28:36absolute formless eternally unchanging
2:28:40immeasurable Lord cannot be measured

2:31:13from a
2:31:16misdeed by this time Baba has achieved
2:31:19great spiritual accomplishments through
2:31:21constant meditation of n so much so that
2:31:24he could consciously separate his soul
2:31:27from his physical body and travel in
2:31:29astral
2:31:31form we the lovers of this perishable
2:31:33body made of the five basic elements
2:31:36think it impossible to separate the soul
2:31:39from the physical body or think it
2:31:41observed to be able to move as an astral
2:31:43body because we measure everything
2:31:46according to our real world and thoughts
2:31:49these abilities are minor for those who
2:31:52have adopted Nam Dr PIR singj has
2:31:55clarified this subject in his sacred
2:32:00book miracles of a higher
2:32:03Dimension lovers lover and Raja shiv NAB
2:32:08Singh in these books he has written how
2:32:11the soul of a deeply meditative person
2:32:14through recitation of Nam leaves a
2:32:16physical body feels itself free light
2:32:20and enjoys the openness of the spiritual
2:32:22and physical Realms of the universe the
2:32:25soul after leaving the body observes
2:32:28that the body made of the five elements
2:32:30by God is separate from and a different
2:32:33entity to the
2:32:35soul the great Saints who through
2:32:37meditation and concentration of the mind
2:32:40can differentiate their soul from their
2:32:42body just like taking clothes off they
2:32:45can travel to any part of the universe
2:32:48as a separate entity without without
2:32:50obstruction they can re-enter their
2:32:53concrete physical body when they wish to
2:32:57parans yogan nji writes an autobiography
2:33:00of a yogi about such incidents as well
2:33:03whereby his Guru and other yogis could
2:33:06easily leave their physical body and
2:33:08travel to various places their astral
2:33:11bodies would appear real to the devotees
2:33:13who saw them the need is for one to
2:33:16reach such a level of mental
2:33:18concentration otherwi wise such
2:33:20abilities are but minor fruits of the
2:33:23power of meditation on Nam the astral
2:33:26body of babaii could travel wherever he
2:33:28wished in the blink of an eye to talk
2:33:30and meet devotees a devotee who
2:33:33experienced Baba's astral body would
2:33:35feel he was talking with him as a real
2:33:38person in physical form one evening
2:33:41babaii was immersed in meditation
2:33:43following Reas suddenly his attention
2:33:46was drawn to a devote who was very close
2:33:48to Babaji in his deep state of
2:33:51meditation babaii saw that this person
2:33:53has set off to commit a deed that was
2:33:55immoral the thought of sexual
2:33:58gratification had overpowered his
2:34:01Consciousness babaii thought that if an
2:34:03effort to save this person was not made
2:34:05then quite possibly this man would
2:34:07repent his misdeed as guruji says only
2:34:10for a momentary sexual pleasure misery
2:34:13for many years is suffered this immoral
2:34:17thought which has compelled the body on
2:34:19the path to fulfill its desire may land
2:34:21its owner into the deep well of
2:34:24damnation it is one's duty to save him
2:34:27as this person is our well-wisher
2:34:30thought babai GI Baba prayed unto
2:34:32guruji's feet with his astral body left
2:34:35his physical body in soda Baba's astral
2:34:38body reached the devote who had set off
2:34:41on his way to Lor Baba asked him P where
2:34:45are you going we have come all this way
2:34:47to meet you the sight of babaii and his
2:34:50words stopped the devote in his tracks
2:34:53the overpowering thought that was
2:34:55leading him to commit an act of
2:34:57distribute vanished and this devote was
2:35:00overcome with shame and repentance the
2:35:02devote returned home with babaii and as
2:35:05they neared the house to his surprise
2:35:07babaii vanished he looked everywhere but
2:35:10babaii was not to be found the great
2:35:13Saint had already left and returned to
2:35:15soda to re-enter his physical body this
2:35:18devotee rested at home and the next day
2:35:21set off towards soda to meet babaii and
2:35:23ask for his forgiveness babaii inspired
2:35:27him to follow the guru's teachings with
2:35:28greater resolve and advise that if in
2:35:31future an immoral thought is
2:35:33overpowering the Consciousness then turn
2:35:36to the great Guru who is all pervasive
2:35:38omnip poent omnipresent and with all of
2:35:42us all the time beseech him with a
2:35:44supplication as he sees all our deeds
2:35:47and all our thoughts the deed done in
2:35:50secrecy assuredly comes to light even
2:35:52though one were to do it
2:35:54[Music]
2:36:01underground and he knows the innermost
2:36:03feelings of everybody and recognizes the
2:36:06pain of every good or
2:36:14bad a person commits an immoral deed
2:36:17when they know that no one is watching
2:36:19watchingg over them but if they remember
2:36:21the words below of the great guruji then
2:36:24they can be saved from Evil Deeds from
2:36:27whom do you hide your evil
2:36:29Deeds since the all pervasive Lord is
2:36:32holding you my everpresent Lord pervades
2:36:35in all
2:36:45places and behind many screens the
2:36:48Mortal commit sin but instant they are
2:36:51laid be to the
2:36:56world
2:36:58hoar bad Deeds one committed lead a
2:37:01person to the cycle of countless births
2:37:03and deaths the poor soul should continue
2:37:06to pray at the feet of God Almighty then
2:37:09he will show Mercy besee the Lord as
2:37:12Guru Arjun d g says regarding your
2:37:15mind's wo make supplication before the
2:37:17guru forsake your cleverness and
2:37:20dedicate unto him your mind and
2:37:26body Sagal
2:37:29Manar surrendering one's evil intellect
2:37:33and praying to vuru from the bottom of
2:37:35the heart one becomes worthy of the
2:37:37guru's grace and all bounds are granted
2:37:40taking heed of the inspirational advice
2:37:42given by Baba the devote repented his
2:37:45past misdeeds and promised to follow
2:37:47guruji's principles more closely
2:37:50and another incident like this this
2:37:53humble servant will not think it
2:37:54unworthy to mention a similar incident
2:37:57that occurred around
2:37:591953 as it happened a guruk one who life
2:38:03is centered towards the guru's
2:38:05teachings a gur muk's family that was
2:38:08devoted to Babaji lived in modeltown
2:38:10gelander they had two daughters and one
2:38:13son the family married their only son to
2:38:16a girl in
2:38:18England being from a rich family this

2:38:23labor but in a foreign country he had to
2:38:25struggle hard being alone in a new
2:38:28country away from the love of his family
2:38:31he became lonely and dejected to this
2:38:34end he wrote a letter to his mother
2:38:36explaining his lonely plight and his
2:38:38intention to give up work and come home
2:38:40as soon as possible having read the
2:38:43letter the mother became very distraught
2:38:45and went to see babaii the mother
2:38:47pleaded with babaii explaining that it
2:38:50was with great effort and expense that
2:38:52the family has sent our son to England
2:38:54but now he is planning to
2:38:57return if he comes back to India then
2:38:59his wife will have to come back too if
2:39:02his wife refuses to come back then it
2:39:04will create great turmoil in the family
2:39:07she pleaded with Babaji to suggest a
2:39:09solution to this problem babaii consoled
2:39:11the lady urging her not to be dejected
2:39:14pray with devotion from the bottom of
2:39:16your heart in front of gurug Gran Saab g
2:39:18Who is without doubt the living and
2:39:21spiritual embodiment of the 10 gurus he
2:39:24continued secondly apart from your own

2:39:31the name of your son pray to Almighty to
2:39:34bless your son and verily the great Guru
2:39:36will hear your prayers and bless your

2:39:41Guru granai G and returned to jalanda
2:39:44some 2 weeks later brimming with delight
2:39:47the lady returned to see babaii
2:39:50after exchanging gfat she inquired
2:39:52please tell is there any news from your
2:39:54son the lady replied you have blessed
2:39:58him immensely I have bought his letter
2:40:00to show you however I am puzzled by what
2:40:03he has written in his letter the lady
2:40:05handed over the letter to Baba and he
2:40:07asked me to read the letter the letter
2:40:10started with a good fat and the son
2:40:11wrote as already decided I had planned
2:40:14to return to India post haste last
2:40:17Sunday in a very gloomy mood I I sat in
2:40:19a quiet corner of the park saying my
2:40:22prayers as I had not gone to work that
2:40:24day suddenly son babaii of rampura came
2:40:28up to me and talked to me for almost
2:40:30half an hour I told him of my intention
2:40:33of going back home to India and how I
2:40:36was burdened with despair Baba consoled
2:40:39and persuaded me that there was no need
2:40:41to return to India he counseled that
2:40:44when the mind despairs and you are sad
2:40:46then meditate after having said your
2:40:48daily pray prayers with humble
2:40:50supplication request the great Guru from
2:40:53that day I now feel uplifted I go to
2:40:56work daily and my plan to return to
2:40:58India for which I had wrote to you in my
2:41:00last letter is shelled I have decided to
2:41:03stay here in England Please do not worry
2:41:06about me I was so impressed at the sight
2:41:09of Baba sitting next to me that I
2:41:11completely forgot to ask him whose house
2:41:14he was staying at whilst in England so
2:41:17can you go to rampur k and ask ask one
2:41:19of the attendant s there as to where and
2:41:23with whom Baba is staying in England
2:41:25please ask them how long he staying in
2:41:27England and send me a reply by return
2:41:30post I read out the above letter to Baba
2:41:33Baba heard the contents of the letter
2:41:35and taking the letter from me tore it
2:41:37into pieces he turned to the lady and
2:41:40instructed her not to publicize this
2:41:42incident to anyone please tell your son
2:41:45to steady fastly recite his prayers and
2:41:48carry on with reciting the prayers of
2:41:50japji sahab that you have promised to do
2:41:52for your son do not write to your son
2:41:55regarding this episode Babaji then got
2:41:57up and walked to an open fire to destroy
2:42:00the letter after the lady had departed
2:42:03babaii told me great Guru G has blessed
2:42:06me such that my soul can travel freely
2:42:09as an astral body to any place in the
2:42:11world whilst my physical body is still
2:42:14seated here those who perceive me cannot
2:42:16tell whether it is my real physical body
2:42:19or my astral body that they are seeing
2:42:22this is a special blessing bestowed upon
2:42:24me by the almighty so in this manner
2:42:27this exalted Great Soul would live
2:42:29amongst the physical world and when
2:42:31deeply immersed in meditation would free
2:42:34himself from the physical body to travel
2:42:36the world in his astral body to meet and
2:42:39help many devotees to advise devotees of
2:42:42their spiritual potential with his
2:42:44astral body in the physical and
2:42:46spiritual world and to enjoy the Bliss
2:42:48of the high spiritual Dimensions was but
2:42:51a minor achievement for babai chapter
2:42:5521 bravest is he who grapples with the
2:43:00Mind although many episodes in Baba's
2:43:03life may seem trivial yet with closer
2:43:06observation these apparently
2:43:08insignificant incidents reveal a hidden
2:43:11source of great motivation and
2:43:14inspiration those devotees who try to
2:43:16learn from these Fountains of
2:43:17inspiration will will find many
2:43:20obstacles removed from their spiritual
2:43:21journey and their life will become easy
2:43:24and pleasant Babaji once told us back in
2:43:28my Village in Chuck
2:43:30119 I would walk to the next Village
2:43:33every few days to visit a fellow
2:43:35companion who was Ill on the way I had
2:43:38to walk past a large field of ripe and
2:43:41sweet sugar cane as I was nearing the
2:43:44field I felt a desire to choose some
2:43:46sweet sugar cane I thought to to myself
2:43:49that as I walk by the field I would pick
2:43:52up a couple of sugar canes from it with
2:43:54this thought a tussle started within my
2:43:57mind my inner voice of
2:43:59Consciousness whispered that undoubtedly
2:44:02the field wouldn't lose much if I
2:44:04removed one or two sugar canes but
2:44:07taking sugar cane without consent is
2:44:10theft theft is theft whether it is of a
2:44:13penny or ,000 the great Guru has warned
2:44:16us against stealing in that he says no
2:44:19one can take responsibility for a thief
2:44:22how can what a thief does be good a
2:44:25second voice arose within and answer
2:44:27that we too are farmers whenever a needy
2:44:30person wants some vegetables or sugar
2:44:32cane they take it from our Fields
2:44:34regardless they don't bother to ask for
2:44:37permission do they with this thought
2:44:39came an answer from my conscious that
2:44:41even though such people take fruit and
2:44:43vegetables from our Fields without
2:44:45permission we still do not hold a good
2:44:47opinion of their behavior do we we still
2:44:50describe them as thieves and think that
2:44:52heaven knows which desperate person has
2:44:55stolen product from our field at odd
2:44:57hours and damage the crop while stealing
2:45:00we still try to catch such a person
2:45:02red-handed stealing from our Fields my
2:45:04inner voice goed me to think about what
2:45:06people will say if I was caught grabbing
2:45:09a couple of sugar canes surely they will
2:45:12say that her Nam sing wears a gab of a
2:45:14guruk claiming to follow a spiritual
2:45:17path but given half a chance he steals
2:45:19like any ordinary man whenever people
2:45:22will talk of your indiscretion you will
2:45:25be defamed and so too will be the name
2:45:27of the guru and Sikhism this cannot be
2:45:30allowed to happen at any cost I cannot
2:45:32take the sugar canes as these thoughts
2:45:34unraveled and weaved in my mind I drew
2:45:37closer to the sugarcane field by now my
2:45:40mind had concorded another plan I would
2:45:42go up to the field call out to the owner
2:45:45of the field Sardar utam Singh and tell
2:45:48him that I am taking a couple of sugar
2:45:50canes from his field if it was all right
2:45:53with him in this way I wouldn't be
2:45:55stealing from the owner of the field my
2:45:57inner Consciousness began to recite
2:45:59spontaneously the words placing Reliance
2:46:02on you oh mind who is that have not
2:46:06Fallen you are Bewitched my Mammon this
2:46:10is the way to hell oh vicious M no faith

2:47:10oh mind you make many a lame excuse and
2:47:13put forward many an argument oh my mind

2:47:31of taste I will not give into to thee Oh
2:47:34m in this conflict of mind the voice of
2:47:37the desire ridden lower mind was
2:47:40silenced and beaten by the true voice of
2:47:42conscious a voice from inside rose up oh
2:47:46my mind remain steady fast then you
2:47:49shall bear no
2:47:53injury oh my mind be brave don't abandon
2:47:56your principles for petty and sensuous
2:47:58Pleasures the tussle within the mind was
2:48:01still carrying on when I came to the
2:48:02sugarcane field I had only walked past
2:48:05about half of The Field's length when
2:48:07sadar utam Singh appeared from the midst
2:48:10of the sugarcane crop clutching an
2:48:12armful of broken and discarded shs of
2:48:14sugar can standing a few feet away from
2:48:18me he saw me and reverently exchanged
2:48:21Guru fat with me I was astonished yet
2:48:24ashamed of myself to see SAR utam Singh
2:48:28after exchanging gurat he continued some
2:48:31contempt person goes through my
2:48:34sugarcane field stealing the sugar cane
2:48:36and discarding the leafy shoots in the
2:48:38middle of the field sadar utam Singh
2:48:41showed me the leaves he was clutching
2:48:43and remarked these are freshly broken
2:48:45shoots from yesterday for a few days now
2:48:48I have sitting amongst the sugar cane
2:48:50lying in waight for the culprit if I
2:48:53catch him he'll be taught a good lesson
2:48:55and dragged publicly in front of the
2:48:57Village Council even now I was lying in
2:49:00wait to watch the thief hidden in amidst
2:49:04my crop then I saw you coming and
2:49:06thought thank God I have glimpsed the
2:49:08presence of a holy man like heram Singh
2:49:11even though I was lying in way to catch
2:49:13the thief I have been blessed with your
2:49:15company all morning I've been sitting in
2:49:17the heat in weight of the culprit and
2:49:20I'm tired now so wherever you are going
2:49:23please take a short break from your
2:49:25journey and sit with me a while as I
2:49:27wish to ask you some questions regarding
2:49:29Sikhism and gurmat you can answer my
2:49:32questions and remove my doubts he
2:49:34pointed over to a densely shaded tree
2:49:37and said please sit on the bed under the
2:49:39Shale I will bring some sugar canes for
2:49:42us to have whilst we discuss gurmat you
2:49:45will do me a great honor by letting me
2:49:47serve you some sugar and by discussing
2:49:50gurmat Baba used to tell us I tried to
2:49:53persuade SAR utam Singh to allow me to
2:49:56go on with my journey as I was in a
2:49:59hurry but his affectionate manner
2:50:01overpowered me he went to the field to
2:50:03collect some sugar canes and I sat under
2:50:05the Shady Tree I was thanking Almighty
2:50:08Lord on the one hand at the same time
2:50:10feeling guilty and ashamed on the other
2:50:13the super conscious rebuked the lower
2:50:16mind oh weak and feeble mind had I at
2:50:19your instigation broken those sugar
2:50:21canes I would have been declared a thief
2:50:23not only that I would have been blamed
2:50:25for the theft of the sugar cane by the
2:50:27real Thief God only knows how many other
2:50:30people SAR utam Singh would have told
2:50:33about how SAR Haram Singh was a culprit
2:50:36stealing sugar can from his field I
2:50:38would have been defamed that Haram Singh
2:50:41looks like a Guk fellow but steals so
2:50:44expertly that he will even call out to
2:50:47the owners before he steals
2:50:49the higher mind was scolding and
2:50:51rebuking the lower evil mind which was
2:50:53shamed into silence at the same time my
2:50:56faith in God and resolve in Destiny grew
2:50:59even stronger my conscious explained
2:51:02further that had I broken the sugar cane
2:51:04at the behest of my Wicked mind I would
2:51:07have been labeled a thief forever yet I
2:51:09would have got the sugar cane without
2:51:12stealing and as destined by God I did
2:51:15not have to give into my Wicked mind
2:51:17instead Singh offered me the sugar cane
2:51:20with great love and respect babaj used
2:51:22to say from that day onwards I was
2:51:25determined not to believe the mind as it
2:51:27always drags you to the bad side we
2:51:30should listen carefully to the soft
2:51:33faint tone of the inner conscious which
2:51:35advises one to resist temptation of
2:51:38misdeeds and act upon guidance thus Baba
2:51:42kabiri cautions us to guard against the
2:51:44mind as follows Kabir the Mind knows
2:51:48everything yet knowingly commits sins
2:51:51what use is the lamp in his hand if man
2:51:54still falls into the
2:52:04well in spite of knowing the merits or
2:52:06demerits of a sinful act the Mind still
2:52:09persuades one towards evil everyone
2:52:12knows that theft adultery cheating
2:52:14robbery lying Etc are bad Deeds but the
2:52:17Mind still drags one to commit such
2:52:19Deeds the punishment for these acts is
2:52:22borne by the body in this world and by
2:52:24the soul in the next World to be saved
2:52:27from the evil machinations of the mind
2:52:30we should use the Touchstone that is
2:52:32gurbani to evaluate whether a deed is
2:52:35sinful or not if the Mind still refuses
2:52:37to yield to righteous action then as
2:52:40pagat kiji says beating and thrashing
2:52:44this mind he applies it to the
2:52:46Touchstone of the Lord's love that
2:52:49person obtains perfect
2:52:56salvation the Mind must be allowed to
2:52:58direct our actions under the command of
2:53:00gurbani only then can we save ourselves
2:53:03from Bad Deeds if we follow the
2:53:05leadership of our mind it will tempt the
2:53:07body to commit all manner of absurd and
2:53:10ridiculous Deeds of
2:53:11demerit suffers ever in loss the
2:53:15perverse Wonder in doubt the blind
2:53:17Infidel remembers is not the Lord how
2:53:20can he obtain
2:53:29Insight the person overwhelmed with
2:53:31based desires such as lust and anger
2:53:34does not know what is righteous or not
2:53:37he or she cannot evaluate what is the
2:53:39right place or time for righteous
2:53:42action the egocentric knows not how to
2:53:45speak within them is lust pride and Ang
2:53:48anger they distinguish not between right
2:53:51and wrong they ever think evil in the
2:53:54Lord's Court they are held to account
2:53:56they are then judged as
2:54:02[Music]
2:54:12false in order to please the Almighty we
2:54:15should always abandon the teachings of
2:54:17the Mind though it is difficult to let
2:54:19go of the devious machinations of the
2:54:22Mind One should remember what the great
2:54:24Guru advised us to do oh mind renounce
2:54:28your cleverness however hard this task
2:54:30may be receive instructions from the
2:54:33great Guru reflect upon the lord's name
2:54:36night and day we should always listen to
2:54:38the guru's word instead of the mind's
2:54:41false arguments
2:54:50[Music]
2:54:52instead of listening to The Immortal
2:54:54teachings of the Mind One should listen
2:54:56to the guru's true
2:54:58gospel forsake your mind's cleverness
2:55:01and hearken it to the guru's
2:55:10gospel chapter
2:55:1222 meditation in
2:55:16Lor deeply impr ressed by Baba's way of
2:55:19life payu daas Singh once requested
2:55:21babaii to come and stay with him in lore
2:55:24so that others could Avail themselves of
2:55:26his Pious company too Baba accepted this
2:55:30affectionate invitation to come and
2:55:32meditate in Lor the family prepared a
2:55:34quiet and peaceful room for babaii to
2:55:37stay in and meditate without
2:55:39disturbance all day babaii would be
2:55:41immersed in meditation and imbued with
2:55:44the Lord's Remembrance in the evening
2:55:46Baba would sit with the family to recite
2:55:48the evening prayer of Reas after which
2:55:51he imparted knowledge and teachings of
2:55:53Sikhism to the family babaii would
2:55:56similarly recite the morning nitname
2:55:58amongst the family as the family had a
2:56:01separate room in which Guru Gran sahab G
2:56:03was enthroned Baba would pay homage to
2:56:05the true Guru at home instead of going
2:56:08to the local gurara as a matter of
2:56:11principle babaii would only eat after he
2:56:13had paid respect to S gurug Gran sahab G
2:56:16one day after completing his nitname
2:56:19babaii went to pray and pay his respect
2:56:21to guruji when a question arose in his
2:56:24mind how is it that Siri Guru Gran sahab
2:56:27G embodies the spirit of the 10 gurus
2:56:30with this thought in mind he bowed to
2:56:32guruji paid obeses got up and pronounced
2:56:35Guru fat as he did so he looked up to
2:56:38Siri gurug Gran sahb G and saw the
2:56:40intensely radiant forms of the 10 gurus
2:56:43arising out of the Palin the room was
2:56:46filled with radiant incandescent light
2:56:50his eyes were finding it difficult to
2:56:52Bear the intense brightness of the light
2:56:54a few second later the radiant forms of
2:56:57the guru appeared to transform into one
2:57:00bright radiant glowing light and one by
2:57:03one merged into the body of the S Guru
2:57:05Gran sahb G then the forms of the gurus
2:57:08would reappear one by one out of the
2:57:11body of the true Guru this
2:57:13transformation of the 10 gurus from and
2:57:16into the body of siru gurug GR sahab G
2:57:18happened three times now all that Baba
2:57:21GI could perceive was the glowing
2:57:23radiant light around s Guru gr sahab G
2:57:26that was spreading into the rest of the
2:57:28room Baba GI thanked the almighty and
2:57:30felt that this miracle was performed by
2:57:33God to answer his question in Baba's
2:57:37mind there was deep contentment and
2:57:39faith that God the embodiment of life
2:57:43has caused himself to be called Guru
2:57:45nanak from him angad D became the Guru
2:57:48whom he for with United with the Lord

2:58:50same Divine Light passed in and is now
2:58:53seated in s gurug Gran sahab G it is
2:58:56only our vision that is distorted and
2:58:58clouded unable to see this reality this
2:59:01is the reason we meditate on Nam so that
2:59:04the grime of sin is washed from our eyes
2:59:06and the illusion of Doubt is banished
2:59:08from within us May the Almighty remove
2:59:11this doubt that makes us perceive the
2:59:13gurus and S gurug Gran SJ as separate
2:59:16entities when in fact they are one one
2:59:18and the same Divine Light May we too

3:01:03area of soda immersed in contemplation
3:01:06and
3:01:07meditation one day during a state of
3:01:09deep meditation Babaji perceived that
3:01:11the land on which they are settled and
3:01:13farmed would need to be abandoned a
3:01:16horrific scene of people migrating as
3:01:18refugees great looting and murderous
3:01:21riots flashed before his spiritual
3:01:23vision the words of Sri Guru nanak D GI
3:01:26in Babar bani this is the bani uttered
3:01:29by Guru nanak d g when he witnessed the
3:01:31massacre of people in Amad at the hands
3:01:34of the mugul Invader Babar who came from
3:01:37samand usbekistan
3:01:39materialized before his eyes he saw how
3:01:43neighbors who live like Brethren with
3:01:45mutual love and respect helping each
3:01:47other in in times of need now turned on
3:01:50one another with hatred nature fueled
3:01:52their instincts of hatred and alienated
3:01:55friends and Neighbors from one another
3:01:57genocide turned the ground red with
3:01:59blood witnessing such horrific scenes
3:02:02Baba became pensive at the impending
3:02:05Havoc to befall God's creation the next
3:02:08day seeing him such a pensive mood
3:02:11Baba's elder brother asked him the
3:02:13reason for his dejected mood if we have
3:02:16inconvenienced you in any way then
3:02:18please let us know without hesitation
3:02:21and we will try to sort out any
3:02:23obstacles or problems to the best of our
3:02:26ability reassured his elder brother
3:02:28baara Singh on asking once or twice
3:02:31babaii tried to detract from telling his
3:02:33older brother what the matter was but
3:02:36then he agreed to talk and called all
3:02:38his brothers together he narrated to
3:02:41them the prophetic vision and told them
3:02:43we will have to abandon this land that
3:02:46we are settled on and return to our
3:02:48country countless people will become
3:02:50homeless refugees and have to migrate on
3:02:53both sides the signs of great
3:02:56destruction are visible after listening
3:02:58to Babaji his youngest brother broke the
3:03:01silence and said a farmer does not leave
3:03:03his land even after death you are
3:03:05telling us to leave it now when we are
3:03:07alive and well how can this be possible
3:03:10we bought this uncultivated land and
3:03:12with hard work day and night today it's
3:03:15productive land for farming B answered
3:03:18politely you asked the reason for my
3:03:20dejected mood whatever Insight the true
3:03:23Guru granted me I have shared with you
3:03:26regarding the land it is your collective
3:03:28decision whether to leave or not almost
3:03:314 months passed babaii thought to
3:03:33himself I take food and shelter in this
3:03:35household and they are attached to me
3:03:38through deep worldly relations as
3:03:40brothers I should try to persuade them
3:03:43one more time so that they may be spared
3:03:45from forthcoming disaster so so Baba
3:03:48assembled his brothers repeated his
3:03:50warning and told them about his
3:03:52premonition Baba asked them if you don't
3:03:54want to leave so be it but at least send
3:03:57mother and the ladies of the house with
3:03:59the necessary things to our native
3:04:01Village in tuga the appending hour of
3:04:04disaster is nearing upon us he added
3:04:07further someone has reliably informed me
3:04:10that cheap Farmland is for sale near the
3:04:12city of Bari Rajasthan many punjabis
3:04:16have bought land there and turn them
3:04:18into productive Farms please sell some
3:04:20land here and buy a piece of land with
3:04:22the proceeds in
3:04:25Rajasthan as nature would have it the
3:04:27brothers agreed to Baba's request pyara
3:04:30Singh along with the ladies of the house
3:04:32set off towards their ancestral village
3:04:35with only the most essential items after
3:04:38staying in toga for a week parara Singh
3:04:40returned to soda with the consent of all
3:04:43the brothers pitara Singh then went to
3:04:45see the land for sale in a village
3:04:47called karua near the city of bahi
3:04:52Rajasthan after inspecting the land he
3:04:54was pleased with it and returned with
3:04:56the good news to soda the family sold a
3:04:59piece of land in soda added some more
3:05:01money and bought about 50 aces of land
3:05:04in the village of
3:05:07Kera chapter
3:05:1024 moving from soda to Kera
3:05:16Village after buying land in the state
3:05:18of dhur Rajasthan The Next Step was to
3:05:21reclaim the land making it productive
3:05:23and establish some accommodation in
3:05:26order to ease their workload all three
3:05:28brothers jointly requested babaii to
3:05:30help a little in farming and resettling
3:05:33the land Baba GI replied what is your
3:05:35command the brothers replied politely it
3:05:38is not proper for us to involve you in
3:05:40farming again but if you take up
3:05:42residence in the new Farm then both ends
3:05:45of our family needs can be met one you
3:05:48can supervise the tenants who cultivate
3:05:50the land secondly you can carry on
3:05:52regardless with your meditation and
3:05:54Simon to enable you to stay there we
3:05:56will build you a small farm Lodge as
3:05:59pagat Kabir says the whole world belongs
3:06:02to the saint of the Lord babaii had no
3:06:05particular attachment to any one place
3:06:08moreover he felt intuitively that he
3:06:10would be leaving this place soon so he
3:06:12happily agreed to their request and bid
3:06:14farewell to the land of soda where he
3:06:17had spent almost 30 years of his life in
3:06:20Blissful Divine communion with the Lord
3:06:23he arrived at Kera Village a few days
3:06:26later with his brother pitara Singh a
3:06:29small River passed through the farm and
3:06:31the brothers had constructed a small
3:06:33Lodge with a couple of rooms on the farm
3:06:36after taking care of the arrangements
3:06:38pyara Singh returned to soda tenants who
3:06:41would farm the land were soon found as
3:06:44per his routine babaii would arise a few
3:06:47few hours before dawn after bathing he
3:06:49would immerse himself in contemplative
3:06:52meditation at dawn he would complete his
3:06:54n name after which he would go to the
3:06:56Village Gurdwara to pay homage to Sri
3:06:58gurug Gran sahb G he would listen to the
3:07:01Hokum Nama and return home to eat and
3:07:03rest a little after a short rest he
3:07:06would resume his program of reciting
3:07:08hymns from gurbani he would then go to
3:07:11the farm and supervise any work until
3:07:13the afternoon in the evening he would
3:07:16recite rra so before he retired for the
3:07:19night whil his body rested his soul
3:07:22would remain immersed in meditation at
3:07:24the Lotus feet of the
3:07:26Lord this land was very sparsely
3:07:28populated Barren with thick shrubs and
3:07:31jungles all around there were wild
3:07:33animals like lions leopards Etc so much
3:07:36so that at a short distance from where
3:07:39Babaji used to stay was a small River
3:07:42and on the embankment of a river a lion
3:07:44had made a small Den for itself any deer
3:07:48or prey that would come for a drink of
3:07:50water was bounced upon by the lion and
3:07:52made a meal of being close by Baba often
3:07:55witnessed the lion hunting its prey the
3:07:59lion never threatened or looked upon
3:08:01babaii in Anger fra if you submit
3:08:04yourself to me then the whole world will
3:08:06be
3:08:11yours the native villagers and disciples
3:08:14discovered that Baba had left soda the
3:08:17villagers of Guera found out that Baba
3:08:19GI would come to the gurara every day to
3:08:21perform prayers and worship SRI Guru gr
3:08:24Saab G as a result of this the villagers
3:08:27would come in large numbers to the
3:08:28gurara every day to listen to babaii
3:08:31explain the hukum
3:08:32Nama so much so that farmers would stop
3:08:35their plowing and come to the gurara in
3:08:37order to listen to Baba G's daily
3:08:39discourse of the gurbani he would
3:08:42explain the meanings of gurbani and the
3:08:44hukum Nama in particular he would extol
3:08:47the the virtues of meditation and
3:08:49renunciation of alcohol and meat being a
3:08:52wild area the locals were fond of
3:08:54hunting and home brewed alcohol Baba
3:08:57often thought that if our Punjabi
3:08:59Brethren did not stop abusing alcohol
3:09:02then our society would be swept away in
3:09:04the tide of alcohol abuse and
3:09:07immorality the local King of the hpur
3:09:10state and the host Community which has
3:09:12respect for hardworking and industrious
3:09:14punjabis now will lose respect for them
3:09:17in future where alcohol and meat are
3:09:20used frequently one's character becomes
3:09:22immoral and base instincts like anger
3:09:25and lust overpower higher
3:09:27principles in a character riddled with
3:09:30based desires and instincts the Mind
3:09:32does not immerse easily in meditation
3:09:34there is not the slightest link between
3:09:36an emotion-driven mind and
3:09:39meditation the persuasive message of
3:09:42gurbani explained with conviction by
3:09:44babaii convinced many to give up meat
3:09:46and alcohol many now got ready to take
3:09:49AMR and be baptized by the five beloved
3:09:51ones babai GI invited five highly
3:09:54spiritual six and arranged for a baptism

3:10:31months in the village of Kera there was
3:10:33a Congregation of devoted SS who
3:10:35assembled in the morning and evening at
3:10:37the gurua they would Avail themselves of
3:10:40the company of s gurug gr sahab G
3:10:42getting the added benefit of being given

3:11:02Kera Village s sadu singj took up
3:11:05Residence at the gurwara as the size of

3:11:09gurara building increased accordingly
3:11:12the Gara is now a beautiful Grand
3:11:15building to behold s sad sing G is
3:11:18serving the gurara with great Zeal and
3:11:21enthusiasm chapter
3:11:2325 meeting Dr Kar
3:11:28Singh a short distance from KERA Village
3:11:31was a small city called Bari people from
3:11:34the surrounding areas would visit the
3:11:36markets at the city for their
3:11:38Necessities like clothes tea Etc if
3:11:41anyone became in they would have to
3:11:43travel to the city for their medicine a
3:11:46Punjabi doctor called called Dr Kar
3:11:48Singh used to run his practice in this
3:11:50small City Punjabi people from the
3:11:53locality would generally visit Dr Kar
3:11:55Singh for their medicinal treatment Dr
3:11:58Singh was an atheist and any leisure
3:12:01time he had he spent persuading people
3:12:03with gusto about the futility of
3:12:05believing in God impressed by his
3:12:08arguments many became
3:12:10atheist Baba too came to hear of this
3:12:13makeshift Center for preaching atheism
3:12:16taking some time out from his meditation
3:12:18babaii went to meet Dr Kar Singh at his
3:12:21practice the doctor treated babaii as
3:12:24any other patient of his and asked him
3:12:26what his ailment was Baba replied I have
3:12:30nothing wrong with me physically and
3:12:32have come only to meet you and listen to
3:12:34your views the doctor was very pleased
3:12:36to receive a willing listener who had
3:12:38obviously traveled some distance
3:12:41normally he would have to persuade
3:12:43people to listen to his views on
3:12:45atheism after offering some refreshment
3:12:47to babaii the doctor launched straight
3:12:49into his lecture which was as
3:12:52follows look how simple-minded and
3:12:55innocent the people of our country are
3:12:57no one has ever seen the Supreme Being
3:13:00no one nor can he be seen with these
3:13:02eyes neither does he have any physical
3:13:05body nor can anyone show another person
3:13:08if God exists such a being that has no
3:13:11entity is worshiped as God what's more
3:13:14people who are praying to him day and
3:13:16night have given given him numerous
3:13:17names how can one pin their hopes on a
3:13:20being which cannot be seen how can that
3:13:23non-existent entity listen to our
3:13:25prayers what purpose of ours will it
3:13:28fulfill or serve yes this much is true
3:13:31that due to people's Whimsical and
3:13:33delusional hopes some others profit from
3:13:36their vulnerability the doctor continued
3:13:38his lecture and babaii listened
3:13:41patiently the doctor put forward many
3:13:43eloquent and impassioned arguments to
3:13:46prove that God doesn't not exist Baba
3:13:49asked the doctor politely Dr Sab
3:13:51according to your own words you only
3:13:54acknowledge the existence of those
3:13:56things that can be seen by your eyes
3:13:58those objects which cannot be seen you
3:14:00believe do not exist dear Doctor S to
3:14:03see God is a distant concept to
3:14:06visualize even some of his Creations
3:14:08cannot be seen but only perceived
3:14:10through our senses for example has
3:14:13anyone seen the bitterness of a chili
3:14:16you can see sugar but cannot see its
3:14:18sweetness similarly you give canine
3:14:21pills for malaria to many patients every
3:14:24day but cannot see the bitterness of the
3:14:26tablets many things in nature can be
3:14:28seen outwardly but their hidden merits
3:14:31or nature cannot be seen readily the
3:14:34doctor interrupted brother no doubt
3:14:36sweetness of sugar or bitterness of
3:14:38canine cannnot be seen but it can still
3:14:41be tasted and we therefore know that it
3:14:44exists Baba replied
3:14:47they can only feel but not see here is a
3:14:50glass of milk before us can you see the
3:14:52butter that is hidden within the milk
3:14:55even if you put your hand into the milk
3:14:57you cannot bring out the butter from the
3:14:58milk even upon drinking the milk you
3:15:01cannot taste or see the butter in the
3:15:02milk if however a Milkman heats the milk
3:15:06and curdles it then churns it and whisks
3:15:09the milk at the right temperature he
3:15:11will be able to remove the butter from
3:15:12the milk if he now melts the butter he
3:15:15can cream off the ghee that is clarified
3:15:18butter now if this Milkman tells you how
3:15:21to remove butter from the milk but you
3:15:23steady fastly assert your view that
3:15:25there is no butter in the milk because
3:15:27you cannot see it taste it smell it or
3:15:30touch it in that milk then is it not
3:15:32your own ignorance to admit that the
3:15:34butter does not come from milk however
3:15:37it is not your fault that you are not
3:15:39convinced by someone else's explanation
3:15:42of butter crumming from milk if however
3:15:45you yourself prepare milk whisk and
3:15:48churn it at the right temperature you
3:15:50too will demonstrate firsthand that
3:15:52butter indeed can be removed from milk
3:15:55providing you follow the correct method
3:15:57of preparing the
3:15:59milk another example given to us by
3:16:02guruji tells us that fire lies dorant in
3:16:05firewood but cannot be seen it does not
3:16:08follow that because we cannot see fire
3:16:10in Firwood that fire does not exist if
3:16:13we wish to experience a fire we only
3:16:15need to rub some bamboo together to
3:16:18create a fire and release the heat
3:16:20energy within the firewood our fifth
3:16:23Guru has described the above two
3:16:25examples as follows as fire is contained
3:16:28in all Timber and butter in all milk so
3:16:31in high and low he resides the Lord of
3:16:34wealth is all pervading the hearts and
3:16:36minds of all human beings oh Saints he
3:16:39pervades All Hearts the perfect Lord is
3:16:42fully contained in all in the water and
3:16:44dry land the Lord pervades pause nanak
3:16:48sings the praise of the treasures of
3:16:50Virtues the true Guru has dispelled his
3:16:53doubts the only present Lord is
3:16:55contained amongst all though ever
3:16:58distant from themas
3:17:18[Music]
3:17:28[Music]
3:17:29just as fire cannot be seen in a piece
3:17:31of wood and butter is hidden within the
3:17:33milk but is not seen similarly God
3:17:36resides in all his Creations regardless
3:17:38of whether they are rich or poor great
3:17:41or small alas he cannot be seen with
3:17:43these eyes and that we possess if you
3:17:47yearn to see God and wish to manifest
3:17:49God in reality then it is clear from
3:17:51gbani that you will need to make a
3:17:53special effort to see the almighty what
3:17:56effort will you adopt namely to sing the
3:17:58Lord's praise who is The Treasure of all
3:18:01virtues you will have to adopt the
3:18:03method of singing the Praises of the all
3:18:05pervasive Lord dear doctor your eyes
3:18:08will need the spectacles of Devotion to
3:18:10see God as bhagat Kabir G says ever
3:18:13perform thou the Lord's service where
3:18:16the spectacle and see him present
3:18:24everywhere if we concentrate and quieten
3:18:26our minds of thoughts then the
3:18:28omnipresent Lord's presence will become
3:18:30apparent in a short while if you fix
3:18:33your mind even for a moment then the
3:18:35Lord shall be seen present before
3:18:42you dear doctor what greater guarantee
3:18:45can be given by those who have seen the
3:18:47Lord as pagat Fiji says meet thy Lord
3:18:51right now o fared if you restrain the
3:18:53desires that distract your
3:19:01mind and bind the pugnacious passions of
3:19:04the Mind attain your beest Lord tund
3:19:09sundo dear doctor the need is for one to
3:19:12walk the path of Enlightenment to God
3:19:14Guru nanak d g tells us about the this
3:19:16path sitting down wash and perfume The
3:19:19Vessel then go and fetch the milk in it
3:19:23good actions are the milk ferment the
3:19:25milk with meditation then leave it
3:19:27without desire curdle the milk with
3:19:30contemplation of the name of the Lord

3:19:52Lord make offerings of Devotion to

3:19:57Lord by offering his very life remains

3:20:08no equal to your lord devotion Le slave
3:20:11nanak praise May ever sing the Praises
3:20:14of the true Lord
3:20:29[Music]
3:20:42for in
3:20:44[Music]
3:21:10listen Dr sahab if it is a matter of
3:21:13sight then people all around the world
3:21:15feel sleepy hungry and are subject to
3:21:18pain pleasure happiness sadness lust
3:21:22anger greed affection and vanity these
3:21:26are all emotions that are experienced if
3:21:29we ask someone no matter how wise to
3:21:32show us where sleep or hunger is what
3:21:35will they think of our wisdom we all
3:21:38feel sleep and hunger but cannot show
3:21:41where they come from we can quantify to
3:21:44an extent what they are but only
3:21:47subjectively nonetheless only the person
3:21:49who experiences these emotions can
3:21:52describe or feel them look Dr sahab look
3:21:56at how science has progressed scientists
3:21:59can measure blood pressure temperature
3:22:01Etc but have not invented instruments
3:22:04fine enough to measure the imperceptible
3:22:07existence of God neither hunger or greed
3:22:11nor lust or anger Etc can be measured
3:22:15accurately no one has measured his or
3:22:17her form or quantity in person only the
3:22:21person overpowered by these instincts
3:22:24can feel their
3:22:25influence Dr Kar Singh was listening
3:22:28intently to Babaji Babaji continued Dr
3:22:32sahab scientists have discovered
3:22:35electricity and produced light bulbs
3:22:38giving us great convenience and luxury
3:22:40electricity was already present in
3:22:43nature but due to our ignorance we were
3:22:45unable to utilize it until recently some
3:22:49scientists have devised ways to
3:22:51demonstrate the existence of electricity
3:22:54which otherwise cannot be
3:22:56seen according to the instructions given
3:22:59by scientists to the government it has
3:23:01built power stations and built cables to
3:23:04carry
3:23:05electricity however until this was done
3:23:08we were all unaware of the existence of
3:23:11and the usefulness of
3:23:13electricity similarly if we want to
3:23:15manifest or reveal Almighty Lord who is
3:23:18all persuasive in the form of energy and
3:23:20derive pleasure from the Eternal source
3:23:23of energy then we will have to follow
3:23:25the advice of those blessed ones who
3:23:27have seen the almighty after undertaking
3:23:30many struggles and toiled hard as you
3:23:33say God is invisible but the great Guru
3:23:35says that oh man you do not have the
3:23:38eyes to see God the eyes with which God
3:23:41can be seen are different from the eyes
3:23:43that see the world nanak they are some
3:23:46other eyes with which the Beloved spouse
3:23:49can be seen so how can one obtain these
3:23:52eyes with which one can see the all
3:23:55pervasive Lord guruji has called These
3:23:58Eyes of divine Vision The Eyes Of
3:24:01Consciousness he tells us to walk upon
3:24:03the following path make fear of God thy
3:24:06feet his love your hands his
3:24:09understanding the eyes says nanak in
3:24:12this oh wise woman Union with the
3:24:14bridegroom is accomplished
3:24:25oh mortal if you walk in awe of God Walk
3:24:29work with Loving Hands and make Divine
3:24:32wisdom your eyes then by following all
3:24:35these actions you come to meet the
3:24:38lord always remain in awe of your
3:24:40Creator and know that he is watching
3:24:42your every action good or bad this
3:24:45awareness will remove the root of evil
3:24:47thoughts and deeds from your heart and
3:24:49mind a treasure of good and Noble deeds
3:24:52will fill your being the heart that is
3:24:54full of Virtues will give birth to a
3:24:57spring of love for God in whose heart
3:24:59there is love for God their
3:25:01Consciousness will see the Lord himself
3:25:04they who love him attain him there The
3:25:08Eyes Of Consciousness see
3:25:11[Music]
3:25:13him dear doctor it is only recently that
3:25:16the radio was invented the voice that is
3:25:18broadcast is present in the air only
3:25:21with a radio can one receive that signal
3:25:23or hear the voice from the radio station
3:25:26if we have a radio but do not tune in or
3:25:29it is broken then the fact that we
3:25:31cannot hear the voice is our fault and
3:25:33not the fault of the radio station or
3:25:36the sound the Lord is seen heard and
3:25:39known but his relish is not obtained how
3:25:42can a lame armless and blind person run
3:25:45to embrace the
3:25:55Lord it means that God is present in all
3:25:58his creations and is visible his life
3:26:01force rates audibly in all creation he
3:26:05works through his creation but the human
3:26:07condition is such that we are unable to
3:26:09relish the taste of Union with God why
3:26:13is this it is because humans have not
3:26:16the hands feet or eyes with which to
3:26:19perceive God how can this hapless being
3:26:22Embrace God in order to meet him and be
3:26:25embraced by God we will have to follow
3:26:27the path as mentioned before the path is
3:26:30to walk in awe of God love of God should
3:26:33be the labor of our hands Define
3:26:36intellect the eyes with which to see God
3:26:39with these eloquent examples from
3:26:41gurbani given by Baba Dr Kar Singh was
3:26:44nearly convinced about the existence of
3:26:46God whereupon he hinted of an
3:26:48acquaintance of babaii he asked about
3:26:51SAR AAR Singh the who had recovered
3:26:54through recitation of prayers by baba
3:26:57baba replied I was only given the humble
3:27:00service of reciting gurbani to him
3:27:03gurbani can cure physical ailments of
3:27:05the body as well as the disease stricken
3:27:07soul of maladies that have accumulated
3:27:10over many lifetimes curing ailments of
3:27:13the body is a minor benefit of gbani
3:27:15compared to what gurbani can do for us
3:27:18in allowing us to meet God through bad
3:27:20Deeds the soul becomes stricken with
3:27:22disease and eventually the body becomes
3:27:24ill too when Dr Kar Singh came to know
3:27:28that this person was the same saint that
3:27:30had cured Sardar ofar Singh and whom he
3:27:33had heard of as being a starward saint
3:27:36his conviction and Faith strengthened
3:27:38further Dr Kar Singh was the
3:27:40brother-in-law of Sardar AAR Singh Dr
3:27:43Kar Singh politely persuaded babaii to
3:27:45stay the night after reciting Ras his
3:27:49remaining doubts were dispelled Baba
3:27:51answered all his questions and remov all
3:27:53his doubts based upon the teachings of
3:27:56gurbani at last babaii said if you wish
3:27:59to have eternal Bliss then research and
3:28:03study gurbani further as you study
3:28:05gurbani deeply your doubts will be
3:28:07swayed like grass swayed by the current
3:28:09of water moreover you will begin to see
3:28:13what reality is you will see that much
3:28:16time has been wasted in idle ignorance
3:28:19Dr s the hard worker gets everything
3:28:22from the Lord's door and the one who
3:28:24argues baselessly leaves his door
3:28:27empty-handed when you tread upon this
3:28:29path others will seek your guidance the
3:28:32Practical life of babai so impressed Dr
3:28:35Kar Singh that within a few days he had
3:28:38totally changed he bought sir gurug Gran
3:28:40sahab G to his house and started to
3:28:42recite it Baba GI came to visit
3:28:44regularly and their me meetings became
3:28:46more frequent in a short period the
3:28:49doctor had developed a deep
3:28:51understanding of gbani and he started to
3:28:53mold his life accordingly after studying
3:28:56and understanding gurbani Dr Kar Singh
3:28:59wrote several books and tracks these
3:29:01were distributed far and wide for
3:29:03missionary purpose of spreading the
3:29:05teachings of
3:29:06gurbani the very person who was
3:29:08unwilling to accept that God existed was
3:29:11now Guided by gurani to preach its
3:29:13message the true company of babaii had
3:29:16transformed Dr Kar Singh into a firm
3:29:18believer of God who now became a great
3:29:21preacher of divinity guiding numerous
3:29:24people towards the messages of gurbani
3:29:26he wrote several books on Sikhism they
3:29:29were aim of Life what is nam and its
3:29:33form ego the gurmu method of practicing
3:29:36Nam how to focus attention in meditation

3:29:45of of N and its death fundamental
3:29:48principles of gurmat and our present
3:29:50mode of living how is gurbani the guru
3:29:54chapter
3:29:5526 exposing a false
3:29:59Guru it is worth mentioning another
3:30:02incident concerning Dr Kar Singh that
3:30:04made his faith in gurbani firmer and
3:30:06gave him deeper insight into the faith
3:30:10in the inspirational company and
3:30:11guidance of babaii he was now of the
3:30:14firm conviction that gurbani is is a
3:30:16guru and Guru is bani but his father and
3:30:19other members of his family had no such
3:30:21faith in fact they were followers of a
3:30:23living Guru they were followers of a
3:30:25narinari sect based in raval pendi
3:30:27Pakistan whose Guru at that present time
3:30:30was Baba ratas Singh the sect is still
3:30:33in existence and its present Guru is
3:30:35Baba haras Singh the guru of the sect
3:30:39taught that a living Guru is required
3:30:40for salvation I would himself sit on a
3:30:43soft Throne while sir gurug gr s g was
3:30:46placed on a bookstand beside his stage
3:30:49the common masses would bow to him and
3:30:51in his discourses he would quote gurbani
3:30:53yet maintain that understanding of
3:30:56gurman could only come through the
3:30:58living Guru he would emphatically state
3:31:00that no spiritual purpose could be made
3:31:03without the living Guru his view was
3:31:05that the person who teaches you gbani is
3:31:07the true living
3:31:09Guru gurbani is the only Guru on the
3:31:13contrary Dr Kar Singh was a firm
3:31:16believer of gurbani and that it was the
3:31:18true Guru his elder sister BB premor who
3:31:22lived in Lor had an account part A

3:32:08early in the evening Dr Kar Singh's
3:32:11father arrived with Baba rata singi whom
3:32:14they all revered as a living Guru
3:32:16the family greeted him with Garland of
3:32:18flowers and led him to a specially built
3:32:20and decorated room to stay in for the
3:32:22duration of the Kart after light
3:32:24refreshment the congregation went for an
3:32:27audience with Baba rata singhi Dr Kar
3:32:30Singh and his friend struck up a
3:32:31conversation on the issue of gurbani
3:32:34being the true Guru the issue was
3:32:36discussed and debated late into the
3:32:38evening several hours of contentious
3:32:40debate yielded no firm answer to the
3:32:43question and finally an exasperated Dr
3:32:46Kar Singh resolved we must decide once
3:32:49and for all tonight whether gurbani is
3:32:51the true Guru or a living Guru is
3:32:54required a strange suggestion Baba's
3:32:57firm
3:32:58Faith Dr Kar Singh said excitedly this
3:33:02discussion won't end we clearly need an
3:33:05evident yes or no answer I have a novel
3:33:08suggestion we will side with and believe
3:33:11whoever can materialize 5 kg of Kashmir
3:33:15apples through their spiritual press in
3:33:17the presence of the congregation the
3:33:20entire congregation fell silent for a
3:33:22few minutes at last Dr Kar Singh's
3:33:25father broke the silence and said
3:33:27contentiously first of all you should
3:33:30ask your pisab that is babaii was called
3:33:33PAB then if he agrees to the conditions
3:33:35of your strange challenge we too will
3:33:38consult with our Guru over this matter
3:33:41Dr Kar Singh and his friends left the
3:33:43congregation and went to Baba's room he
3:33:46told Babaji about the discussion and the
3:33:48condition he set to resolve the issue of
3:33:50whether gurbani is the guru Babaji
3:33:52listened patiently about the whole
3:33:55incident paused for a few minutes and
3:33:57then replied if it is a question of
3:34:00upholding the honor Prestige and Sanity
3:34:03of Guru bani the embodiment of Sir gurug
3:34:06Grans then not just five but 10 kilg of
3:34:09Apple will immediately materialize
3:34:12amidst the congregation it is not a big
3:34:15task for the true Guru we simply have to
3:34:18pray to Sri gurug gr sah G the true Guru
3:34:20will fulfill our
3:34:22prayers on hearing these robust Resolute
3:34:25and Faith imbued words from babai the
3:34:28devotees spontaneously hailed b sonal
3:34:33satakal means true is the Timeless Lord
3:34:36exalted are the ones who declare
3:34:39this they all went to the room of the
3:34:41living Guru and said the followers of
3:34:43gurbani the true Guru are willing to
3:34:45materialize till 10 kg of apples instead
3:34:49of five so please tell us where you
3:34:53stand on hearing these Fant words the
3:34:55living Guru simply backed out of the
3:34:58demand and said that he did not believe
3:35:00in such Miracles being performed he
3:35:02further added that he had been invited
3:35:04to the house and insulted protesting
3:35:07thus he left hastily during the Night
3:35:09Before Dawn of the next day in the
3:35:12morning after the POG ceremony gurbani
3:35:14is the true Guru was a topic of
3:35:16discussion in the congregation after
3:35:19Kian was performed Baba explained the
3:35:22meanings of the hukum Nama taken from s
3:35:24gurug Gran sahab G to the whole
3:35:26congregation he specifically instructed
3:35:28the Su that whosoever wants to attain
3:35:31spiritual enlightenment through Gman
3:35:33must first take into their hearts the
3:35:35guru's

3:35:55G where a good sik takes the shelter of
3:35:58s gurug gr s g by being baptized then
3:36:01there is no need to seek refuge in
3:36:03living Guru in essence it is vital to be
3:36:06baptized in order to obtain any
3:36:08blessings from s gurug Gran sahb G Dr
3:36:11Kar Singh and other devotees made a
3:36:13program and a day was fixed on which the

3:36:32deluded by the concept that a living
3:36:34Guru is needed only gurbani is a guru of
3:36:37a gik one only has to study the words of
3:36:40Guru ramash G the word the man is Guru
3:36:44and Guru is the bani within the bani the
3:36:46ambrosial nectar is contained if his
3:36:49humble servant believes and acts

3:37:48returned to its home
3:38:01s the dictate of our Guru leaves no room
3:38:04for doubt and no concessions for the
3:38:06concept of a living Guru the need is to
3:38:09recognize gurani as a true Guru it is a
3:38:12word and message of God to us Whoever

3:38:2727 partition in
3:38:30[Music]
3:38:321947 here in Kera Village Baba was
3:38:36performing his duties of meditation and
3:38:38service of the congregation
3:38:40simultaneously in what is now soda
3:38:43Pakistan the visions of that Babaji had
3:38:46experienced about a violent partition
3:38:48started to materialize in actuality
3:38:51hatred grew in the hearts of people who
3:38:53once lived as affectionate neighbors now
3:38:56they became mortal bloodthirsty enemies
3:38:59Arsenal looting communal riots and rape
3:39:02erupted all over the subcontinent but
3:39:05were particularly fierce in Punjab now
3:39:08Baba's Brothers began to repent their
3:39:10decision to stay on at CH 119 soda and
3:39:15acting upon his prophetic
3:39:18words had they agreed to take Baba's
3:39:20advice then they would not have had to
3:39:22face the misfortune of partition of
3:39:24India that had befallen them what could
3:39:27be done at this late hour a deep sense
3:39:29of repentance now tormented them every
3:39:32moment in desperation they loaded as
3:39:35many of their belongings as they could
3:39:37on a cart pulled by oxen and joined the
3:39:39convoys of refugees towards their native
3:39:42country and Village they left behind the
3:39:45land that they
3:39:47decided not to abandon in the first
3:39:49place with great sorrow at last they
3:39:52arrived in their native Village of duga
3:39:54after witnessing M murders riots
3:39:57experiencing many hardships thirst
3:40:00hunger and the constant shadow of death
3:40:02snooze hanging over their heads after a
3:40:05few days rest in their Village a new
3:40:07plan was made to send the younger
3:40:09brother by lman Singh to kurera village
3:40:12where babaii was looking after the farm
3:40:14while the other two brothers would
3:40:16remain and look after the land and
3:40:18family in
3:40:19TGA chapter
3:40:2228 babaii and the tantric
3:40:26Yogi a person who in deed and word is
3:40:29true and Valiant whatever they say then
3:40:33carries influence and weight upon others
3:40:36those who merely preach to others and do
3:40:38not act upon their words find that their
3:40:41words have no effect on others so guruji
3:40:44says at first first he instructs his own
3:40:46mind then after he pleases
3:40:55others one should first earn the
3:40:57spiritual wealth of Enlightenment before
3:40:59preaching to others just witness how
3:41:02Guru ramash G's honor such a person who
3:41:05through meditation fills his own heart
3:41:07with loving remembrance of divine Lord
3:41:10and then help others to do the
3:41:13same servant nanak seeks the dust of the
3:41:16feet of that gik of the guru who himself
3:41:20recites God's name and encourages others
3:41:23to do so as
3:41:32well and P gurash says deeply I rever
3:41:36the Endeavors of those who practice the
3:41:38guru's
3:41:39[Music]
3:41:43teachings the person who preaches to
3:41:46others without acting on their own words
3:41:48pagat kabi says of them sand falls into
3:41:52their mouths who do not practice what
3:41:54they preach they keep an eye on
3:41:56another's property whilst their own
3:41:58field is being robbed Kabir
3:42:08a guru Arjun d g gave us the same
3:42:11message in sukman sah he who practices
3:42:15not what he preaches to others shall
3:42:17come and go subject to many births and
3:42:22deaths
3:42:25ja throughout his life babai first
3:42:27practiced and verified gbani for himself
3:42:30and then he enjoined the message of
3:42:31gbani to others and told them what he
3:42:34had personally experienced it was only
3:42:36natural that a personality of such
3:42:39unflinching conduct had an influence on
3:42:42his surroundings fellow devotees of Baba
3:42:44he did his words and enshrined them in
3:42:47their hearts thus they abandoned their
3:42:49ego driven mind manmat following Instead
3:42:53The Way of the true Guru gurmat Amit
3:42:57replaced their use of alcohol a
3:42:59nonvegetarian diet which in sites base
3:43:02instincts like anger and lust were
3:43:04substituted with a vegetarian
3:43:07diet tantric na near the village of Kera
3:43:12where babaii lived resided an aesthetic
3:43:15practicing tantric yoga the practice of
3:43:18this form of yog had given him
3:43:20miraculous powers like granting bounds
3:43:22of wishes and being able to cast spell
3:43:25on people as such he had built up quite
3:43:27a following of people locally by using
3:43:30these powers and often people would hold
3:43:32Banquets of meat and alcohol at which to
3:43:35honor the yogi for some time now the
3:43:37people of the area has started to
3:43:39abandon such ways and started to follow
3:43:42gurbani consequently the followers of
3:43:44the yog Yi dwindled day by day and he
3:43:46came to know the reason for his
3:43:48dwindling
3:43:49congregation the yogi thought that
3:43:52whoever had distrupted had flourishing
3:43:54business should be dealt with somehow
3:43:56and this person should be disgraced and
3:43:58evicted from the village he now thought
3:44:00of trying to chase babaii out of the
3:44:02village with his magical powers but as
3:44:05gurbani says if one were to be a charmer
3:44:08of scorpions and be able to handle
3:44:11cobras by hand he is beaten badly and
3:44:14struck down by their own
3:44:26doing first assault by the yogi it was a
3:44:29sunny winter day Baba GI were sat in
3:44:33deep meditation in front of his house in
3:44:36the sun Baba GI sat in deep meditation
3:44:40in front of his house in the sun about
3:44:43200 yard from the house there was a
3:44:44narrow nrow Dusty foot path the yogi
3:44:47stood on this path intending to use his
3:44:49magical powers that he was an Adept at
3:44:52in order to influence babaii babaii was
3:44:55in deep meditation and was unaware that
3:44:58the Yogi was trying to use his magical
3:45:00powers on him babaii used to tell us
3:45:02that whilst in deep meditation his heart
3:45:05began to beat a little faster babai
3:45:08opened his eyes and looked around only
3:45:10to see the yogi standing in the footpath
3:45:12staring back unperturbed babaii resumed
3:45:16his meditation second assault the next
3:45:19day the yogi returned and tried again to
3:45:21spell bound babaii with his transc
3:45:23powers Baba's concentration was
3:45:26disrupted again and he looked up to see
3:45:28the yogi standing in the distance trying
3:45:31to do something babaii resumed his siman
3:45:36unconcerned third assault the third day
3:45:39the yogi returned and tried to cast his
3:45:41tantric magic spell on babaii Baba
3:45:44looked looked up and noted that this
3:45:46person hadn't stopped his ill-willed
3:45:48practice and had continued to use all
3:45:51his energies to cast tantric spells so
3:45:54in order to check the Yogi's tantric
3:45:56Powers babaii looked at the yogi with
3:45:58deep concentration and uttered
3:46:02wuru the moment he said this the yogi
3:46:05suddenly fell to the ground babai again
3:46:08uttered wuru this time he saw the Yogi
3:46:12was dragged four to 5 ft towards Bab
3:46:14babaii as if pulled by some invisible
3:46:18Road when babaii uttered wuru a third
3:46:21time the Yogi was dragged a few feet
3:46:24further towards babaii and the yogi
3:46:26started to beg for forgiveness please
3:46:29forgive me and let me go I have made a
3:46:32mistake I won't try to cast a spell on a
3:46:34sick Saint again please excuse me this
3:46:37time Baba told us that the feelings with
3:46:41which he uttered the gurm left him and
3:46:44he resumed his meditation and Bliss just
3:46:46as before after a short while the yogi
3:46:49got up bowed to babaii and left that
3:46:52place in a hurry after his simmeron was
3:46:55complete baba got up and went over to
3:46:57where the yogi had fallen he saw that
3:47:00the ground bore imprints and marks as if
3:47:02some one had been dragged on it this
3:47:06incident further strengthened Baba's
3:47:08resolve and faith in the true Guru he
3:47:10felt elated that indeed the gur man
3:47:12blessed To Us by Guru nanak d g is
3:47:15supremely powerful and without equal
3:47:18great indeed is sadguru who has blessed

3:50:06appeared before him and ordered by heram
3:50:09Singh you must now leave the Solitude of
3:50:12this place and return to your ancestral
3:50:14Village
3:50:15this land is bereft of sism and has sunk
3:50:17into the quick sand of
3:50:19atheism guide those people onto the path
3:50:22of Sikhism and preached them the
3:50:24principles laid down by the
3:50:26wuru the dictates of the true Guru sunk
3:50:29deep into Baba's soul and rebounded with
3:50:31a question oh great Guru where should I
3:50:34go should I go to my Village or some
3:50:36other place the 10th Guru replied now
3:50:39you must not stay at home there is a
3:50:42deserted Barren Mound about 5 5 mil due
3:50:46east from your village make that place a
3:50:48center for teaching gurmat the place in
3:50:51question then appeared in Baba's inner
3:50:54Consciousness it appeared to have a huge
3:50:56cluster of 12 or so banion trees
3:51:00overgrown and thickly covered raised
3:51:03area of land there was thick undergrowth
3:51:06of smaller trees and bushes making the
3:51:09whole area seem like a dense
3:51:11inhospitable and inaccessible jungle
3:51:15there seems to be no room for a dwelling
3:51:17nothing but Thorns bushes tall trees
3:51:20thick undergrowth and dense forest then
3:51:23a thought came to Baba most of my life I
3:51:26have lived away from my ancestral
3:51:28Village nobody knows me and I know very
3:51:31few people in that area what am I going
3:51:34to do in that area how will I carry out
3:51:36your order the true Guru replied Haram
3:51:39Singh go and sit in this place all other
3:51:42arrangements will be made for you by the
3:51:44Lord Almighty all Arrangements the Lord
3:51:47himself makes by remembering the Lord
3:51:49all desires are
3:51:53[Music]
3:51:57realized inwardly Baba wanted to enjoy
3:52:01the Blissful pleasures of meditation but
3:52:03it was the order of the guru to leave
3:52:05the sublime Solitude and wander the land
3:52:07preaching gurmat even though his being
3:52:10was drenched in the nectar of Nam and he
3:52:12had no desire to leave the Deep deep
3:52:14state of meditation babai could not
3:52:17ignore the order of the 10th Guru to
3:52:19obey his order and walk on this path is
3:52:22difficult in front of the order of the
3:52:25almighty Lord one's own entity has no
3:52:28stature the will of God is supreme
3:52:30against which there is no choice no
3:52:33pretense and without discretion one must
3:52:36submit without question abandoning any
3:52:39ego the ego dies when one submits his
3:52:42will and yet the Mortal stays alive
3:52:45p gurash g a great sick scholar says
3:52:48that the ego of a true sick Must Die
3:52:50whilst he or she is alive he must
3:52:53abandon the ego and not just through
3:52:55mere words he must have unwavering faith
3:52:58and not be deluded by worldly
3:53:00materialism he should be ready to be a
3:53:02martyr and enslaved to the Divine will
3:53:05obey the orders of the guru in carrying
3:53:08out the order of the guru the devote
3:53:10must ignore personal Comforts hunger and
3:53:13sleep in obeying the Divine will one
3:53:16must abandon the mind's intellect Give
3:53:20Up the Love of materialism thus you
3:53:22shall appease your lord even the hot
3:53:24winds shall not touch
3:53:35you in the house of Our Lord only the
3:53:38order of the guru that is his hookum is
3:53:40supreme and is accepted beyond a shadow
3:53:43of doubt he who bows in submission to
3:53:45the will of the almighty and abides by
3:53:48it appeases the Lord the Lord then
3:53:50accepts such a person as his
3:53:52own whosoever obeys the Lord will
3:53:56becomes acceptable to the
3:54:00Lordan and approved are those persons
3:54:03who accept the Lord's
3:54:08will the Lord approves of the one who
3:54:11accepts his will all others accept one
3:54:13who accept accepts his will the Lord
3:54:16himself causes all to accept his will so
3:54:20he who plays the Ardent game of obeying
3:54:22the will of the Lord is included in the
3:54:24Divine
3:54:26will he who submits to the Lord's order
3:54:29is consigned to his
3:54:34treasury Baba bowed to the order of the
3:54:37Lord and accepting it in his heart
3:54:39became determined to abide by the order
3:54:42Baba thought to attain the pleasure of
3:54:44the Lord by accepting his will and
3:54:46command he made up his mind to leave the
3:54:48village of Guera immediately Baba's
3:54:51younger brother had already arrived with
3:54:53his family to help on the farm in Kera
3:54:56he recounted the divine order of the
3:54:5810th Master to go and set up a
3:55:01missionary center near their ancestral
3:55:03Village to his younger brother he told
3:55:05his brother of the mission given to him
3:55:08to preach and spread the message of
3:55:10Sikhism and asked his younger brother to
3:55:12take over the management of the farm
3:55:14from Rajasthan to Punjab Babaji returned
3:55:17to his mother Ina Village from Rajasthan
3:55:21after meeting his mother he sought out
3:55:23the place that the 10th Master had shown
3:55:25him in his inner Vision he soon found
3:55:28the place that was hinted at by the 10th
3:55:30Master the mound of land has been
3:55:33deserted for centuries and was now
3:55:35covered by imperishable
3:55:37Forest the Mount of land had been
3:55:39deserted for centuries and was now
3:55:41covered by impenetrable Forest
3:55:45he walked around the inhospitable mound
3:55:47of land surveying it carefully for any
3:55:49clearing or shelter that may be
3:55:51available he then walked to the nearby
3:55:54Village of Bal to the house of Sardar
3:55:56gbak whom he had known since his days in
3:56:00soda Babaji stayed the night with him
3:56:02telling him about the plan to Lodge at
3:56:04this inhospitable deserted Mound and set
3:56:07up a center to preach sism and
3:56:10meditation sadar gbak Singh expressed
3:56:12his happiness that babaii would be
3:56:14nearby and thank God that he would be
3:56:17able to enjoy the saintly company of
3:56:19Babaji without having to go so far
3:56:23preparations of an earn cave the next
3:56:26day at dawn babaii took pbak Singh with
3:56:28him to in inspect the deserted mound of
3:56:31land he surveyed the land for a
3:56:34protected spot where he could build a
3:56:35shelter easily without too much expense
3:56:39the land was a little low at that end
3:56:41where the present day Gurdwara now has a
3:56:43tube well and
3:56:45bathrooms this bit of deserted Mound had
3:56:48fewer trees and undergrowth babaii along
3:56:51with the help of by gurbach Singh
3:56:53decided to dig a hole in the shape of a
3:56:55small cave into the side of the high
3:56:58ground with the help of a couple of
3:57:00others babaii soon dug out a small cave
3:57:04into the earn Mound it was just big
3:57:06enough to accommodate a small Bel for
3:57:09cover to the cave entrance an improvised
3:57:13door was made made from weaving some
3:57:15reads and grass into a flat thatched
3:57:18panel the next day paur Bak singj

3:57:58they were digging for they told me that
3:58:00their Saint was going to stay and
3:58:02meditate in the cave that they were
3:58:04digging I advised them that the saint
3:58:06should first stay here at least one
3:58:08night if he lost the night then put all
3:58:11this effort into digging the cave else
3:58:13why waste the effort digging lest your
3:58:16cave remains uninhabited in those days
3:58:19Babaji used to wear simple ordinary
3:58:21clothes and turban no one could tell he
3:58:24was a saint just by looking at him the
3:58:26old man did not realize that the saint
3:58:29refer to was Babi himself nonetheless

3:59:22the need for money bricks motar or wood

4:03:52after a couple of minutes an aged man
4:03:54got up from the direction of Baba's feet

4:07:37forever chapter
4:07:3931 tales of the second night
4:07:44the next day Baba arose early in the
4:07:46morning Drew water from a small well
4:07:48nearby and bathed after reciting his
4:07:51nthn name he continued with his
4:07:53meditation by evening he finished his
4:07:55prayers of Ras and had settled back into
4:07:57meditation of the M Mantra when suddenly
4:08:00a voice from some nowhere said heram
4:08:03Singh Maya is approaching you be careful
4:08:06Baba thought to himself it's okay if
4:08:09Maya is coming what has it to do with me
4:08:12let her please herself what business do
4:08:14I have with
4:08:16Maya after a short while Baba noticed
4:08:18that an old woman with torn clothes
4:08:21approached him and sat at the edge of
4:08:22his bed Baba closed his eyes in
4:08:25meditation and the voice spoke again
4:08:28this is Maya the old woman sat for a
4:08:31while and then left after departing a
4:08:34little while later a very beautiful
4:08:36young woman well and adorned with
4:08:38jewelry came from the Eastern side
4:08:41towards babaii she had a very radiant
4:08:44phas as if light was emitting from it
4:08:46she moved in a very charming and
4:08:48animated manner a thought crossed
4:08:51babaji's mind that Maya had returned in
4:08:54her true form now who knows what she
4:08:56will do when she comes any closer Babaji
4:08:59tried to stop her with his power but she
4:09:02still kept coming closer undeterred he
4:09:05tried again but in vain finally unable
4:09:08to stop her Baba GI pray to God Almighty
4:09:11Lord shelter of the poor please help me
4:09:14and save me from the onslaught of Maya
4:09:16please save the honor of your slave
4:09:19grant me shelter the true Guru heard
4:09:21Baba G's prayers the third Master Guru
4:09:24Amash G appeared in front of him guruji
4:09:27who gave strength to the weak shelter to
4:09:30the homeless and gave Worth to the
4:09:32worthless placed his hand on Baba's
4:09:35forehead as soon as the guru's hand
4:09:37touched Baba's forehead the form of Maya
4:09:40disappeared it seemed as if the form of
4:09:43Maya has just vanished into the
4:09:46Earth chapter
4:09:4932 what is
4:09:52Maya Maya Mamon is that ignorance due to
4:09:57which all material objects and physical
4:09:59things appear real to us attachment to
4:10:02all material things and physical life
4:10:05arises within us and as such we feel
4:10:07separated from God all of creation that
4:10:10was created by God Appears true and real
4:10:13and and we are unable to identify our
4:10:15creator the true Lord one becomes
4:10:18attached to worldly objects our daily
4:10:20life revolves around these objects and
4:10:23we become enslaved by our desire to
4:10:25acquire these objects as we slowly
4:10:27become engrossed in our attachment to
4:10:29material things we come to accept this
4:10:32world as real and we identify this world
4:10:34as our home engrossed in desire we
4:10:37become attached to creations and forget
4:10:40the Creator our ego identifies itself as
4:10:43being a part of this world and we feel
4:10:46separate from our Lord and Creator Guru
4:10:49Amash G has explained to us simply the
4:10:51meaning of Maya he tells us that it is
4:10:54not just gold silver or objects of
4:10:57Desire that are Maya but anything of
4:10:59this world that deviates the Mind from
4:11:02devotion of the almighty involving Us in
4:11:04greed or lust for the worldly things is
4:11:07Maya all that is Maya causes us to
4:11:09forget the Creator in snaring us through
4:11:12attachment to to all manner of
4:11:15objects the Lord's love departs greed
4:11:18attaches to the child mammon's writ
4:11:21begins to unfold such as the Mammon
4:11:23through which the Lord is forgotten to

4:27:55dwell not in the same place in ego

4:28:15service cannot be performed nor can his
4:28:18will be realized the name comes not to

4:28:23true Guru man's ego is destroyed the
4:28:26true Lord comes to dwell within his mind
4:28:29then he practice truth and abides in
4:28:32Truth by serving the true one he is
4:28:35absorbed in the Lord
4:28:54[Music]
4:28:55so through these five accomplices the
4:28:58Mortal mind comes under the influence of
4:29:00Maya to such an extent that he is
4:29:03deprived of the Bliss of n spiritual
4:29:05insight and true pleasure of Union with
4:29:07God Almighty now the question arises
4:29:10that if highly evolved sages and
4:29:12demigods have succumbed to the
4:29:15influences of Maya and all creation is
4:29:17afflicted by it then the question
4:29:20remains is there a method of escaping
4:29:22its clutches the great Guru has told us
4:29:26that oh mortal this Mayo cannot be
4:29:28killed nor be sold off at any shop only
4:29:31by taking the shelter of the true Guru
4:29:34and practicing gurbani can we get rid of
4:29:36Maya the practice of n meditation allows
4:29:40us to burn the aump es and thus be rid
4:29:43of the influence of Maya in this manner
4:29:46the soul is purified by Nam given by
4:29:49Guru and the nectar of the Lord Almighty
4:29:51runs within our being thus Lord Almighty
4:29:55grants us
4:29:56salvation through fascinating mammal
4:29:58Wells up ego thus man is yoke to Duality
4:30:02by slaying it it is not slain nor can it
4:30:05be sold off at a shop when man burns it
4:30:08through gurbani then only does it depart
4:30:10from within his Body and Soul become
4:30:13Immaculate the name comes to abide in
4:30:15his mind nanak the lord's name is the
4:30:18destroyer of Mamon and it is obtained
4:30:21through the
4:30:40guru May
4:30:47and oh man destroy the poison of
4:30:50self-conceit this allows you not to meet
4:30:52your lord ah this gold colored body
4:30:55pride has ruined and disfigured it alas
4:30:58love of material valuables is all black
4:31:02this foolish apostate is attached to it
4:31:05oh nanak the Mortal is emancipated
4:31:07through the guru and through his

4:31:37allowed anyone to meet God this body
4:31:40which was a priceless
4:31:42as gold has been spoiled by ego
4:31:45attachment to Maya is like attachment to
4:31:47Black ashes and only the foolish one
4:31:49attaches himself to something that is
4:31:52worthless those who have earned the
4:31:54wealth of Nam have become Pious and
4:31:56become rid of
4:31:58Maya Guru amadasi tells us the way to
4:32:01rid ourselves of the influence of Maya
4:32:04with sheer love and devotion meditation
4:32:06on N the illusion of Maya burns up and
4:32:09reality Dawns upon the mortal
4:32:12without love the Lord's meditation
4:32:14cannot be performed and without n one
4:32:16remains unacceptable with n the ego is
4:32:20stilled mammon's illusion departs
4:32:23through the guru man easily obtains the
4:32:25wealth of God's
4:32:39name the fifth Guru ALS also tells us
4:32:42that he praises the true Guru who
4:32:44enables the understanding of the
4:32:46mysterious drama of Maya in whose unseen
4:32:49fire the whole world Burns those who
4:32:51meditate are spared from the heat of
4:32:54Maya I am a sacrifice unto my Guru who
4:32:58has shown me this wondrous play with the

4:33:19rushed to the Lord's Refuge save me and
4:33:22bless me with the glory of thy name O
4:33:35Lord our ninth Guru also tells us that
4:33:38if one follows the path of worship
4:33:40meditates on n and sing the Praises of
4:33:42the light-giving transcendental Lord
4:33:45then this ever wandering Mercurial mind
4:33:48is stilled the attachment to Maya is
4:33:51removed and the mind is filled with
4:33:52Supreme spiritual intellect greed and
4:33:55attachment the Agents of Maya which
4:33:57involve the Mind cannot come near such a
4:33:59person the feeling of doubt that was the

4:48:24the great Guru cautioned babaii to be
4:48:27careful from every form of Maya and
4:48:29escape from it how did he escape by
4:48:32losing his ego and unconditionally
4:48:35surrendering his being at the Lord's
4:48:37feet when babaii abandoned all other
4:48:39hopes and compl completely dedicated
4:48:41himself to the almighty the great Guru
4:48:44saved him from the effects of Maya with
4:48:46his own hand when s Guru nanak d g set
4:48:49off from talwandi to sultanpur Ray B
4:48:52respectfully asked guruji what was the
4:48:54order for him the great Guru smilingly
4:48:57replied oai if you agree then my order
4:49:00is that when your own will fails then
4:49:03take the shelter of the allmighty with
4:49:05folded hands and pray God will help you
4:49:09it does not take much much time to pray
4:49:11and neither are particular words
4:49:13required to please the Supreme Lord one
4:49:16needs to surrender from within be humble
4:49:19and offer servitude to the Lord how can
4:49:23he be defaulted who has thy support or

4:49:53tenants of the Divine gbani living under
4:49:56the shelter of the great Guru Maya could
4:49:58not affect him in any form or disguise
4:50:01Baba spent all his life beyond the grip
4:50:04of Maya as stated in
4:50:06gurbani as a Lotus flow remains
4:50:09unaffected in water
4:50:11as also a duck swims against the streams
4:50:14current and becomes not wet so with
4:50:17fixed intent on the guru's word and
4:50:20uttering thy name oh nanak the Dreadful
4:50:22World ocean is crossed he who lives in
4:50:25seclusion enshrines the one Lord in his

4:51:34as was his routine before in this new
4:51:37place babaii was deeply engrossed in
4:51:39meditation of the Lord and tuned in

4:52:52Nishan sahab saffron kalsa flag stands
4:52:56in the gurara some devotees prepared
4:52:59heart for babaii by fixing wooden
4:53:01supports into the ground and touching a
4:53:04grass Reed roof over the wooden supports
4:53:07the Hut was prepared because the earn
4:53:10cave would get very hot and humid during

4:54:16another 40 Days of constant meditation
4:54:18and recital of hymns from gurbani when

4:54:28the food that he would eat in 24 hours
4:54:32with every breath he ever remembers the
4:54:34Lord not a single breath passes in vain
4:54:37thus he obtains honor in eternal life
4:54:50Baba would meditate with such intensity
4:54:52that not a single moment went by without
4:54:54remembering the Lord all the possessions

4:55:23daily use after bathing at the well he
4:55:26would bring a bucket load of water that
4:55:28would last him the whole day Babaji used
4:55:31to say that at 2:00 a.m. when he would
4:55:34go to the well whether it was stormy or
4:55:36rainy by the grace of God the weather

4:58:36the heart hearing these words Baba fell
4:58:39into thoughtful silence
4:58:40he began to ponder that if this kurk was
4:58:43alone he would have declined the
4:58:45invitation however these people have
4:58:47come as a congregation sth the sth is
4:58:51the aboard of God and to serve suut is
4:58:53the highest honor if one refuses to go
4:58:56with the group of giks it is an insult
4:58:58of the suut secondly the gik has asked
4:59:01to bring lunger here to the Hut if they
4:59:04start to bring lunger hair to the Hut
4:59:06then they will have to take time out
4:59:08from their work and their daily work

4:59:24want to go to people's home to have
4:59:26lunger however as you have come in the
4:59:29form of suut one cannot refuse so I will
4:59:32come daily in the morning to have lunger
4:59:34at your home while lab singhji went back
4:59:37to the Village after this invitation was
4:59:39accepted by Baba
4:59:41next morning Baba went to the village
4:59:43gurara in Bal bow to S gurug gr sah G
4:59:46read the daily hukum Nama that is the
4:59:48daily sermon or Edict of the guru and
4:59:51then proceeded to the house of SAR lab
4:59:53Singh to have lunger this routine
4:59:56continued daily for some time if the
4:59:58lunger was not ready yet then babai
5:00:00would recite gbani until the lunger was
5:00:03prepared slowly neighboring households
5:00:06came to know of the great Saint who
5:00:08stays at the deserted mount coming to
5:00:10have lunger daily at the house of sadar
5:00:13lab Singh the fortunate one started to
5:00:16arrive to meet babaii slowly four or
5:00:18five people gathered daily at the time
5:00:20of lunger now Baba started to give a
5:00:23discourse on gbani to the assembl
5:00:26congregation and inspired them with
5:00:28Tales From illustrious sick history any
5:00:31children or ladies that came were taught
5:00:33how to read gurbani in due course with
5:00:35greater inspiration a number of people
5:00:38started to recite gbani from from s
5:00:40gurug Gran G as a result a number of
5:00:43people took Amit baptism after lunger
5:00:47babai GI would return to the Hut and
5:00:48resume his meditation in this manner
5:00:51whilst visiting B Village fanger he
5:00:54would sing praises of the almighty Lord
5:00:56continuing ever forward on his spiritual
5:00:59journey chapter
5:01:0134 my meeting with
5:01:06Baba my mother Mrs Charan cor told me
5:01:09that that one afternoon Baba suddenly
5:01:11came to our house he sat on one of the
5:01:14beds in the veranda and sat you on his
5:01:16lap you were 7 years old at that time my
5:01:20mother was apprehensive in so much that
5:01:22she had heard that these sadus could
5:01:24Mesmerize children or harm them in some
5:01:26way she thought to herself that the
5:01:29sooner the sadu leaves the better
5:01:31thoughts of this type were still running
5:01:32in her mind When Baba spoke I'm going to
5:01:35Professor gbak shing's house and I'm
5:01:38taking this boy with me I shall soon
5:01:40bring him back after waiting a while my
5:01:43mother seeing I had not returned set off
5:01:45for gbak Singh's house on the way she
5:01:48saw Baba coming back to drop me off Baba
5:01:51handed my arm back to my mother and said
5:01:55B we have been coming together to this
5:01:58world for numerous past lifetimes in
5:02:00this life I was looking and searching
5:02:02for him and he was searching for me with
5:02:05the grace of God we have been United
5:02:07again from today onwards neither shall I
5:02:10leave him nor will he be able to leave
5:02:12me so from that day onwards Baba became
5:02:16so near and dear to me that he was
5:02:18closer to me more so than my parents if
5:02:21any valuable or good thing would come
5:02:23into my possession I would be determined
5:02:25to give it to babai first in the summer
5:02:28I would pick the ripest mangoes and save
5:02:30them for babaii at the time I was
5:02:32studying in the Government Primary
5:02:34School in the nearby Village of tandi
5:02:36juta When Baba would come to have lunger
5:02:39at the home home of SAR lab singhji
5:02:41before going to school I would go over
5:02:43to present mangoes and such items of
5:02:45food that I had saved for Baba GI I
5:02:48would pay my respects and then leave for
5:02:50school on occasions I would get late for
5:02:54school and we rebuked by the teacher
5:02:56however Baba GI would always try to
5:02:58arrive early at Sardar lab sing's house
5:03:00so that I would not be late for school
5:03:03after school I would go to the Hut where
5:03:05Baba stayed rather than going home this
5:03:08is the place where G rur Kira now stands
5:03:11instead of the baren deserted Mound upon
5:03:14my arrival Baba GI would give me
5:03:16something to eat and then he would teach
5:03:19me
5:03:20gurbani towards the evening either
5:03:23babaii would drop me off at my nearby
5:03:25Village or my mother would come to fetch
5:03:26me after a few days my mother requested
5:03:29babaii to Grace our house by having
5:03:31lunger for at least half the days of the
5:03:33week Baba agreed to do so and would now
5:03:36have lunger for 3 days at our house 3
5:03:39days at lab sing's house and one day at
5:03:42bantas sing's house he was the father of

5:03:52after studying at the primary school in
5:03:54tan juta I joined kalsa High School in
5:03:57gardial even at high school I would

5:07:56this day with the Lord's
5:07:57patronage chapter
5:08:0035 the deserted Mount is named CA rampur
5:08:06Kira Babaji cleared the area around the
5:08:08heart of bush and Thicket for daily use
5:08:12however the overgrown trees were still
5:08:14too dense in covering the ground he now
5:08:17named this place
5:08:20karura leaves from the large Manion and
5:08:23peil trees would cover the ground in an
5:08:25Ever moist carpet that were a Haven for
5:08:28poisonous insects a couple of Reed
5:08:30stools and dry straw would be used to
5:08:33cover the ground this was all that the
5:08:35visitors had to sit on Baba kept some
5:08:38tongs and earn po s whenever babaii
5:08:41would lift these stools or straw mats he
5:08:44would find deadly insects and scorpions
5:08:46he would use the tongs to remove these
5:08:48insects and store them in the pots in
5:08:51the evening he would walk down to the
5:08:53stream and let the insects loose two or
5:08:55three snakes would appear daily Baba
5:08:58would catch them in a juk bag and
5:09:00release them away from the Hut if a
5:09:02large snake appeared he would use a
5:09:04large bamboo stick and by striking it on
5:09:06the ground scare the snake away from Hut
5:09:10Baba had espcially told everyone who
5:09:12came to visit not to hurt these
5:09:14creatures sometimes people would ask why
5:09:17don't you kill such poisonous creatures
5:09:20babaii would reply when they don't
5:09:22bother us why should we kill them
5:09:24without reason suppose we start killing
5:09:26them will we be able to finish them Baba
5:09:30is annoyed over killing a cobra Babaji
5:09:33continued to rescue little creatures as
5:09:35he did for some time once an incident
5:09:38occurred that I witness with my own eyes
5:09:41the congregation had come together for
5:09:43the meditation session called the Nam

5:09:50raining heavily SAR CH Singh Dr pritam

5:09:57afternoon walk the gurara used to have a
5:10:01hedge of cactus plants all around its
5:10:03perimeter on the evening at the Eastern
5:10:05edge of the cactus fence a large King Co
5:10:08cobra appeared on seeing the poisonous
5:10:11snakes two six immediately killed the
5:10:14snake with sticks so that Ching the and
5:10:17the others went immediately to tell
5:10:19babaii of this large hooded snake that
5:10:21had appeared amidst the cactus fence
5:10:24Baba ined them immediately you haven't
5:10:27killed the snake have you CH sing G
5:10:29replied Baba GI when we saw it it was a
5:10:32large POS a snake so we killed it Baba
5:10:35was angry and said why did you need to
5:10:37kill the snake by killing every
5:10:40poisonous Lake will you eradicate all
5:10:42snakes was the snake chasing you with
5:10:45these words he made his annoyance clear
5:10:47to all of us repentance and forgiveness
5:10:50CH singj and others respectively asked
5:10:53for forgiveness from babaii and went out
5:10:55for a walk again as they were walking
5:10:57they stumbled on another snake in the
5:11:00past just like the one they had killed
5:11:02earlier on on returning they told babaii
5:11:05about seeing the snake on the path when
5:11:08out walking Baba said you could try to
5:11:11kill it again but before killing the
5:11:13snake you should have asked me meanwhile
5:11:16a few more sings returned and said that
5:11:18they too saw a large snake on the way to
5:11:21the gurara finally the devotees got
5:11:24together and pleaded with Baba for
5:11:25forgiveness for their ignorant act they
5:11:28promised not to kill snakes
5:11:30indiscriminately in future Baba replied
5:11:33ask someone to prepare dig

5:12:06suat and for the rest of the week no one
5:12:08saw any more
5:12:10snakes babaii had a very kind heart and
5:12:13a tender nature he was not in the favor
5:12:15of Cruelty or harassing any creature he
5:12:18would say that if we wish to see God at

5:15:20G this change in our Outlook is not
5:15:23possible by mere reading or empty
5:15:25discussions of divine knowledge to
5:15:27change our Outlook requires meditation
5:15:30introspection of gurbani and for us to
5:15:33act upon the message contained within
5:15:35gurbani even when walking babai would
5:15:38step with great care and attention lest
5:15:40he inadvertently trampled insects on the
5:15:43ground moreover he would warn others
5:15:46walking beside him to mind and not
5:15:48trample insects on the
5:15:50ground chapter
5:15:5336 P Mahindra Singh sees a snake
5:15:59daily P Mahindra Singh was Baba's Jeep
5:16:02driver and he told us of an incident he
5:16:05was involved in during these early days
5:16:08Baba was away from the gurara on some
5:16:10important business in his absence some
5:16:13of the devotees discovered a very large
5:16:15Cobra which had entered the cave where
5:16:17Babaji used to meditate the attendance
5:16:20and devotees at the gwara were trying to
5:16:22kill the snake no one would dare enter
5:16:24the pitch dark cave as the snake was
5:16:26large and
5:16:27poisonous all and one decided to light
5:16:30up a kerosene lamp in order to
5:16:32illuminate the cave meanwhile some of
5:16:34the attendants bought a couple of live
5:16:36electrical wires and r a b copper wire
5:16:41onto the end of a long bamboo pole they
5:16:44carefully hung the kerosene lamp in the
5:16:46cave plugged in the live electric wire
5:16:49and tried to electrocute the snake when
5:16:51the snake was thus touched with the
5:16:53fires it hissed and spat so violently
5:16:56that it blew the lamp out all the
5:16:58attendants were extremely scared by now
5:17:01and P mahender Singh stepped in ushering
5:17:04all the others to leave the cave he took
5:17:06a Jude back dipped in kerosene and tied
5:17:09it to a long bamboo stick igniting the
5:17:12juk bag he threw it onto the snake this
5:17:15tactic eventually killed the snake in
5:17:18the evening when babaii returned the
5:17:20attendants told him what had transpired
5:17:22with the snake in the cave babaii was
5:17:24very angry about the whole incident and
5:17:27summoned by mahinda Singh you have
5:17:30committed a great wrong if the snake had
5:17:32entered the cave then you should have
5:17:34left it there I hadn't gone to another
5:17:36country I was due to come back and would
5:17:39have dealt with the snake in future ask
5:17:41me before you carry out such tasks Baba
5:17:44was silent for a while and then said
5:17:47well what is done is done take care in
5:17:49future P Mahindra Singh told us that
5:17:52from that day onwards whenever he went
5:17:55from Gara to his home he would daily
5:17:57come across a snake in his path when
5:18:00this happened for about 4 5 days he came
5:18:02to Babaji Baba told Mahendra Singh that
5:18:05you must complete two rosaries of the M
5:18:07man for 21 consecutive days in the
5:18:10morning and evening begging forgiveness
5:18:12from the great Guru then the snakes will
5:18:15leave you alone when you complete your
5:18:17rosaries prepare some prad
5:18:20donate 1 rup 25 PESA at the gurara and
5:18:24pray for forgiveness with all your
5:18:26devotion from the day P mahinda Singh
5:18:28started to recite the mol man he did not
5:18:31come across any snakes he completed the
5:18:34prayers entrusted to him he then had
5:18:36they prashad prepared prayed in repent
5:18:38sentance for his wrongdoing and begged
5:18:40for forgiveness in front of the great

5:19:43path in time numerous people were molded
5:19:47to gurmat in Baba's company and were
5:19:50subsequently baptized thus following the
5:19:52path laid down by the great Guru chapter
5:19:5737 God is displeased by cruelty to
5:20:01animals due north from Baba's Hut were
5:20:04fields that were farmed by local
5:20:06Villages one day a farmer whose name is
5:20:09not mentioned so as Not to cause offense
5:20:12had been plying the field since early
5:20:14morning it was hot humid August day
5:20:17being close to midday the heat was
5:20:19relentless and at its peak the farmer
5:20:22was clearly hot and sweating profusely
5:20:24as he was plowing he was working the
5:20:27oxen without rest beating them whilst
5:20:29plowing trying to get them to move
5:20:31faster and plow harder the tired thirsty
5:20:34animals were helplessly walking with
5:20:37their tongues hanging out with thirst
5:20:39Babaji came out of his heart and looked
5:20:41upon the pitiful condition of these
5:20:43helpless
5:20:45animals taking pity on the plight of the
5:20:48animals his heart filled with kindness
5:20:50and he made up his mind to ask the
5:20:52farmer to give the animals a rest he
5:20:54decided to ask the farmer to allow the
5:20:56animals to have some water and the
5:20:58farmer to finish plowing in the late
5:21:00afternoon when it would be cooler with
5:21:03these kind intentions for the welfare of
5:21:05the animals he walked up to the farmer
5:21:07and humbly asked him to take a short
5:21:10break to allow the animals to be watered
5:21:12and rested farmer listened to babaii and
5:21:15replied I have been working since
5:21:17morning with these animals don't
5:21:20interfere in a farmer's work you better
5:21:22go about your own job after another half
5:21:25an hour or so Baba's conscience again
5:21:28compelled him animals cannot speak this
5:21:31stubborn person is working the animals
5:21:33far more than they can bear to work in
5:21:35such intense heat if animals are
5:21:37speechless and cannot complain we must
5:21:40look after their well-being and Welfare
5:21:42with these thoughts babaii again went to
5:21:45the farmer to ask him to rest and water
5:21:47his animals for a while Baba advised him
5:21:50that by working the animals mercilessly
5:21:53will not improve the yield of the crop
5:21:55the yield of the crop and what will be
5:21:57harvested from the fields was in God's
5:21:59hands Baba tried to reason with the
5:22:02farmer that if God were to give a bumper
5:22:04crop then it would not be more likely to
5:22:07happen if the field was was deeply
5:22:08plowed furthermore by treating animals
5:22:11mercilessly without care for their
5:22:13welfare speechless animals curse as
5:22:16heavily however the farmer paid no
5:22:19attention to Baba's reasoning and
5:22:21replied on the contrary a farmer will
5:22:23not ever cremate his mother until he has
5:22:26finished sewing his crop Baba said I
5:22:30have done my duty by asking you the rest
5:22:32is your
5:22:34discretion the farmer went on plowing
5:22:36his field leveling it and finally going
5:22:38home with his animals the animals being
5:22:41thirsty drank lots of water as soon as
5:22:43they got back and one of the oxen fell
5:22:45ill needing prolonged treatment from the
5:22:48vet this humble servant witnessed with
5:22:50my own eyes that a field that used to
5:22:52yield a good crop every year this time
5:22:55yielded a handful of sacks of grain the
5:22:59young Farmer's father was a God-fearing
5:23:02person and happened to ask his son about
5:23:04the low yield how is it that a field you
5:23:06plowed so diligently has had such a
5:23:10meager Harvest of grain compared to all
5:23:12the other fields a few days later the
5:23:15young farmer confessed to his father
5:23:17that when he was plowing the field the
5:23:19saint at the mount approached him asking
5:23:21for him to give the Thirsty animals a
5:23:23rest he told his father that the animals
5:23:26were hot and thirsty and the saint came
5:23:28over twice to ask the animals to be
5:23:31rested and given
5:23:32water the young farmer told his father
5:23:35how babai told him that speechless
5:23:37animals could curse us if we do not
5:23:40treat them
5:23:41properly the old father was wise and
5:23:44intuitively realized that the poor
5:23:45harvest was due to overworking the
5:23:48speechless auction in the hot afternoon
5:23:51the old man explained to his son you
5:23:54worked extra hard yourself overexerted
5:23:57your oxen in order to reap a better
5:23:59Harvest however you got the opposite
5:24:02result you ended up tormenting a
5:24:04speechless animal that went on to get
5:24:07ill and you Harvest a meager crop from
5:24:09that field in future be careful if our
5:24:12animals cannot tell us of their pain
5:24:15then we should look off for their
5:24:17welfare ourselves furthermore one should
5:24:20heed and act upon the words of a Divine
5:24:22Saint even if at that time you will lose
5:24:25out
5:24:26materially after rebuking his son the
5:24:29old man came to babaii and pleaded my
5:24:31son did not listen to your words of
5:24:33warning or advice and as a result the
5:24:36Harvest from the field was very poor
5:24:38please forgive him Baba replied very
5:24:41politely a good or bad Harvest is in the
5:24:44hands of God on that hot day the animals
5:24:47were thirsty tired and were being
5:24:49overworked their tongues were hanging
5:24:51out from their mouths with exhaustion
5:24:53they were being beaten and their pitiful
5:24:56plight was disturbing me their anguish
5:24:58was disrupting my meditation repeatedly
5:25:01in future do not beat animals with a
5:25:03stick without reason they too have a
5:25:07soul like ours which feels pain and
5:25:09pleasure it is due to their past Karma
5:25:11and deeds they committed that they have
5:25:13to endure this animal life by harassing
5:25:16animals we commit cruel Deeds earning
5:25:19Bad Karma ourselves we will end up
5:25:21having to pay for our bad actions if we
5:25:24torment animals then they can curse us
5:25:26and we earn Bad Karma we must work but
5:25:30within our strength the rewards for our
5:25:32labor are within the hands of God alone
5:25:36if one could have good fortune by
5:25:38one own effort alone then everyone would
5:25:41be fortunate and Rich even though all
5:25:44desire to be
5:25:46fortunate our destiny is decided
5:25:49according to our past
5:25:58deeds and without Good Deeds nothing can
5:26:02be obtained though one may Chase rewards
5:26:05with all effort
5:26:11one should engage with others with the
5:26:13percept that God's light abides in all
5:26:16his creatures to take pity on the
5:26:18sentinent being is more beneficial than
5:26:21bathing and giving alms at the 68 places
5:26:25of pilgrimage considered Holy by Hindus
5:26:28our Guru tells us that cause not
5:26:30annoyance to any being and go to thine
5:26:33home with
5:26:36honoral gan
5:26:39and do not cause any being to suffer and
5:26:42you shall go to your home with honor
5:26:48do s Guru nanak G considered kindness to
5:26:52be an attribute of God and forgiveness a
5:26:55Divine
5:26:56Rosary those people are Sublime who make
5:26:59compassion their diety and forgiveness
5:27:02their rosary
5:27:08by making the teachings of our Guru the
5:27:11basis of Our Lives we will be able to
5:27:13attract his
5:27:17benevolence chapter
5:27:1938 effect of a
5:27:23curse it was the summer season babai sat
5:27:27under the shade of a mango tree outside
5:27:30his Hut meditating in Bliss it so
5:27:33happened that a couple of devotes who
5:27:35were passing by came over to Babaji
5:27:37exchanged Guru fat and sat down beside
5:27:40him Baba offered them cool water and
5:27:43inquired about the purpose of their
5:27:44visit they replied we were on our way to
5:27:47a nearby town of gardial and decided to
5:27:50drop by to see you rest and chat a while
5:27:53as soon as they exchanged pleasantries
5:27:55they delved into idle chitchat about all
5:27:58manner of things from politics to
5:28:00worldly matters Baba sat patiently
5:28:03listening for a while but quickly
5:28:05gathered that the two visitors were
5:28:08yoking water that is making idle
5:28:10conversation to while away the time Baba
5:28:13sensed that these two were not in any
5:28:15hurry to leave either so he started to
5:28:18quietly recite Suk sahab a prayer
5:28:20composed by Guru Arjun d g the two men
5:28:23spoke up baba we had come to sit and
5:28:26talk with you we do not know how long
5:28:28your prayers will take so please give us
5:28:31leave we bid you farewell Baba nodded
5:28:34his head while still reciting his prayer
5:28:36to acknowledge the visitors wish to
5:28:38depart Baba would often have people like
5:28:41the ones above come to waste his time in
5:28:43idle worldly discussions in politics if
5:28:46babaii would sense that the conversation
5:28:48is turning to idle gossip then he would
5:28:51ask those assembled to join in
5:28:53meditation or reciting prayers this was
5:28:55to prevent wasting time in Gossip
5:28:58instead of remembering God on such
5:29:00occasions he would either recite prayers
5:29:02himself or get one of the devotees to
5:29:05read
5:29:06prayers often it would come come to pass
5:29:08that at the start of the prayer
5:29:10recitation people who were there to make
5:29:12Idol gossip would get up and ask
5:29:14permission to leave he would just nod to
5:29:16acknowledge those who were leaving only
5:29:19a few blessed ones would remain to
5:29:21listen to gbani some would sit and
5:29:23listen to a few more verses as Guru
5:29:25sahab says there is no food for them in
5:29:28saintly C company the false go and find
5:29:31filth like sheep
5:29:38the food of gossip and Idol slander no
5:29:40longer available those who thrived on
5:29:43this diet would depart we can put this
5:29:45experience of babaii to test one can
5:29:48gossip for hours on end about worldly
5:29:50matters but if we start reciting Nam
5:29:53amidst such company we will find that
5:29:55one by one such people will leave only a
5:29:58few exceptional ones who are kers of the
5:30:02true merchandise of gurbani will remain
5:30:04with you to listen as Guru Arjun d g
5:30:07says only a few engage in this fruitful
5:30:13trade and the merchant who follows the
5:30:15guru's instructions oh brother he
5:30:18definitely secures true merchandise of
5:30:20God's
5:30:22name vapari
5:30:26so truth and falsehood do not go hand in
5:30:29hand as Guru Amash tells us falsehood
5:30:33does not mix with truth oh my soul
5:30:36Witnesses and verifies this
5:30:39gurani inspires us to be truthful
5:30:41whereas the basis of The World Is A Lie
5:30:44which
5:30:48such gbani strengthens are resolved in
5:30:52the truth thus rare is the one among
5:30:55Millions who enshrines the lord's name
5:30:57in his mind o
5:31:02nanak and the Saints are few in Number
5:31:06the rest is a show of wrangling in the
5:31:13world the aforementioned visitor had
5:31:15just left when a man named sadar haruk
5:31:18Singh from nearby Village of machia
5:31:20arrived he paid his respects to babaii
5:31:23by greeting with good F and sat down to
5:31:25listen to gurbani being recited when
5:31:28babaii has completed Suk sah prayer he
5:31:31asked harbach Singh the reason for his
5:31:33visit haruk Singh pleaded with babaii as
5:31:36you know rain is unpredictable because
5:31:39of which crops can sometimes perish my
5:31:41neighboring Farmers have had tube Wells
5:31:43dug into their fields so that they can
5:31:45draw water from the ground to irrigate
5:31:47their crops they can now water their
5:31:50fields anytime they choose seeing them I
5:31:53too decided to dig a bore hole into the
5:31:55ground in order to install a tube well I
5:31:58have dug up 10 to 12 holes into the
5:32:01ground to Great depths but no water
5:32:03comes up the water engineer agrees that
5:32:06the bore holes are dug directly to the
5:32:08right depth the bore holes in the
5:32:10neighboring Farmers fields are of the
5:32:12same depth they produce sufficient water
5:32:15but no water comes up in my field I
5:32:17beseech you can you advise me of a
5:32:20remedy so
5:32:21that I too may get water for my Fields I
5:32:25have lost all hope and have therefore
5:32:27come to see
5:32:28you after listening to hering's plea
5:32:31Baba fell silent for a while and then
5:32:33said you have come in the heat of the
5:32:36day first have something to eat and and
5:32:37drink harb singi had something to eat
5:32:40and drink and returned from the lunger
5:32:43taking a seat nearby Babaji as soon as
5:32:46he sat down Baba continued Sardar G you
5:32:49owe some money to a poor man which you
5:32:51did not return you could have returned
5:32:53the money but deliberately sat on his
5:32:55money the poor man's curse has now
5:32:58become an obstacle in your attempts to
5:33:00draw water from the bore hole hearing
5:33:03the startling Revelation herbu Singh
5:33:06cunningly denied that he had assured any
5:33:09money or owed any money to anyone Baba
5:33:13GI asked again harbach sing G think
5:33:15again carefully this is the only reason
5:33:18as long as you don't return the poor
5:33:20man's money you will not Escape his
5:33:23curse not just 12 bore holes you can dig
5:33:26as many bore holes from the ground as
5:33:28you like but you will not get water from
5:33:30that land the curse of the poor man is
5:33:33longlasting and deep a poor man may not
5:33:35have the force or means to recover his
5:33:37money from you in a court but the
5:33:40constant curse that arises from his
5:33:41heart is nonetheless becoming an
5:33:44obstacle in your effort to raise water
5:33:46in your tube well take a few moments to
5:33:48search your heart and Jog your memory
5:33:51you will find this is the only reason
5:33:53herbach singj already knew what the
5:33:55truth was but hearing the Resolute
5:33:57truthful words of babaii his inner
5:34:00conscious broke out from behind the ve
5:34:02of falsehood he was forced to admit that
5:34:05what babaii has said was indeed true he
5:34:07conversed I indeed have not repaid
5:34:10rupees 280 to a poor man it has been 2
5:34:14years since I have not repaid his money
5:34:16in fact he has asked for his money on
5:34:18several occasions but I deliberately did
5:34:21not repay his money Baba replied Sardar
5:34:24G if you want water in your field then
5:34:26return the poor man's money you will
5:34:28gain his pleasure and his Goodwill too
5:34:31once you retain return his money ask for
5:34:34forgiveness from s gurug gr sahab G by
5:34:37offering p and admitting your mistake in
5:34:39front of the guru you will see that
5:34:41water will rise in your tube well on
5:34:43your land from the bore hols already dug
5:34:47Baba's Resolute prophetic and truthful
5:34:49words sunk deep into herbu sing's heart
5:34:53they had the effect of filling him with
5:34:54remorse harbach singi promised babai GI
5:34:58to return the poor man's money and asked
5:35:00permission to leave when he arrived home
5:35:03he gathered the money he owed and added
5:35:06another rupes 50 on top and invited the
5:35:08poor man to his house the poor man was
5:35:11delighted to receive rupees
5:35:13330 the money rekindled many dreams
5:35:16within him even though the poor man
5:35:18received the money with interest that
5:35:20was due to him from harbach singi he was
5:35:23elated and full of hopeful dreams again
5:35:26the unexpected return of his money made
5:35:28the poor man overjoyed and he left Shing
5:35:32his good wishes and blessings the next
5:35:34day haruk singi gathered all the
5:35:36ingredients for prashad and arrived at
5:35:38the gurara Baba GI offered ardas in
5:35:42front of s gurug Gran sahab G forgive
5:35:44your devote Lord who has ear in his ways
5:35:48forgive his trespass against another
5:35:51which was committed in ignorance Grant
5:35:53herbach Singh G in a wish as for your
5:35:56Divine sweet will at the end of the
5:35:58prayers harbar Singh partook of the de
5:36:01prashad and hastened to his field the
5:36:03water engineer cleared the bore hole of
5:36:06any residual sand and started the water
5:36:08pump low and behold to everyone's
5:36:11amazement water came gushing through the
5:36:14tube well it had been about 30 years
5:36:16since this incident occurred the tuell
5:36:19still produces a strong flow of water to
5:36:21this day the moral of the story is that
5:36:25God dwells in all his creation and in
5:36:28all beings whether high or low when we
5:36:30hurt someone's feelings without just
5:36:32cause and unnecessarily it is not only
5:36:35because becomes a hindrance in our SP
5:36:37spiritual progress but becomes an
5:36:39obstacle in our worldly Affairs too as
5:36:42Baba frii says pressures like Jewels are
5:36:45the minds of all to hurt them is not
5:36:48good at
5:36:49all
5:36:51sa tah
5:36:59machang who was a very dear and beloved
5:37:02sik of Guru Goin Singh G also writes
5:37:05hurt not the nature knowing it to be the
5:37:07creation of the Creator if you hurt his
5:37:09creation you earn the Creator's
5:37:21displeasure Baba also says freed the
5:37:25Creator abides in his creation and the
5:37:28creation abides in him whom can we call
5:37:30bad when there is none without him
5:37:43and you are contained amongst all O Lord
5:37:47everyone thinks of you day and
5:37:53night he the one Lord is contained
5:37:56amidst all
5:37:59sub and all belong to you and you belong
5:38:02to all oh Lord you have created all sub
5:38:14if we cannot help or fulfill another's
5:38:16personal need or we cannot bring
5:38:18happiness or Comfort to another then we
5:38:21should not earn ill will by committing
5:38:23misdeeds upon fellow human beings guruji
5:38:26has cautioned us not to violate another
5:38:28person's earnings and avoid the sin of
5:38:32assuring another's personal wealth thus
5:38:34nanak another's wealth is like eating SW
5:38:37wine for a Muslim and a cow for a Hindu
5:38:40the spiritual guide or Prophet will only
5:38:42vouch for you in God's court if man
5:38:44surely does not eat
5:38:55such chapter
5:38:5739 old companions seek out
5:39:02baba babaji has come discreetly to
5:39:04rampura without telling anyone except
5:39:07his immediate family old acquaintances
5:39:10and companions were searching for babaii
5:39:13slowly these old companions began to
5:39:15discover that he was engrossed in
5:39:17solitary meditation of God at a deserted
5:39:20Baron Mount called rampur Kira love is
5:39:23such a condition that it attracts people
5:39:26through an invisible Bond even across
5:39:28the Seven Seas so the pull of devotion
5:39:31and Love Led these spiritual Seekers to
5:39:33this place as there were no Provisions
5:39:36for staying in the cave gave at the
5:39:38Mount of rampura these devotees would
5:39:40spend the day in the company of babaii
5:39:43gaining spiritual knowledge and guidance
5:39:46at night babaii would accompany the
5:39:47guests and visitors to Bal Village he
5:39:50would delegate someone from the village
5:39:52to accommodate the visitors for the
5:39:54night after a while at the request of
5:39:57the congregation a small Veranda a
5:40:00cavern was built extending westwards in
5:40:03front of Baba's Hut the foundation for
5:40:05this Veranda was laid down on 29th April
5:40:091951 and within 20 days the whole
5:40:11veranda and cabin was
5:40:14completed Siri Guru gr sahb G
5:40:17enthroned the cavern and Brenda were
5:40:20completed by now and Baba GI mused that
5:40:22the cavern is wellb built so why not
5:40:25install s gurug Gran SBJ in the cavern
5:40:28he himself could move out into the
5:40:30veranda by doing so the visiting
5:40:32spiritual Seekers would get guidance
5:40:34from s gurug Gran sahab G and pabaji
5:40:37would get to carry out daily service of
5:40:39the true Guru all necessary preparations
5:40:42were made and equipment was gathered in
5:40:44order to install s gurug Gran sahib Baba
5:40:47GI fulfilled his honorable Dream by
5:40:49bringing Siri gurug Grant sahib G from
5:40:51the gurua in Bala Village he enthroned
5:40:54sir gurug Gran sahab G in the newly
5:40:56built
5:40:57Cavern Baba would now arise bathe and
5:41:00then with great affection and devotion
5:41:02installed s gurug Gran sahab G da he
5:41:05would then read the daily sermon that is
5:41:07the hukum Nama after which he recited
5:41:10his daily nitname in the presence of S
5:41:12gurug Grant sahb G after having eaten
5:41:15something at Bal Village he would come
5:41:17back and immerse himself in meditation
5:41:20again Baba once told us that when he
5:41:23first installed s gurug Gran sahab G one
5:41:26evening he wondered what to use in order
5:41:29to eliminate the cavern when guruji was
5:41:31installed he would not use kerosene oil
5:41:34in the lantern as the 10th Master
5:41:36prohibits its use it is said that once
5:41:39some s asked him whether they could use
5:41:41kerosene oil for lanterns and Guru Goin
5:41:44Singh G forbade the use of oil because
5:41:47it produces suit and black pungent
5:41:55Flames Baba thought I have no clarified
5:41:58butter ghee to burn lamps he was still
5:42:01in thought when a lady appeared and
5:42:03placed about half a kilog of ghee she
5:42:06said above has just had a newborn Cal I
5:42:09would have bought the ghee earlier but
5:42:11hadn't collected enough butter to melt
5:42:13into sufficient amount of ghee then I
5:42:15thought let's just take whatever ghee
5:42:18has accumulated regardless and offer it
5:42:20to the guru Baba accepted the offering
5:42:23of ghee and returned the container to
5:42:24the lady he then put some ghee into a
5:42:27small lamp lit it and placed it in front
5:42:29of Siri gurug Gran sahab G Baba GI
5:42:32offered thanks to almighty God thinking
5:42:35God knows the wishes in every one's
5:42:37heart God knows the suffering of the
5:42:39good and the
5:42:45badan Baba thanked God lord you alone
5:42:49give rise to Noble sentiment and Inspire
5:42:51your devotees with Noble thoughts from
5:42:54that day onwards only a lamp with ghee
5:42:57was used to eliminate the room of Sri
5:42:59gurug gr s g when the ghee would run low
5:43:03God would Inspire someone somehow to
5:43:06bring in an offering of more ghee never
5:43:09did the ghee run out eventually
5:43:12Provisions for electricity arrived a few
5:43:14years later every evening after the
5:43:17prayer of Reas Baba would have some
5:43:19light refreshment and then sit outside
5:43:21in The Veranda bed would be laid out on
5:43:24the clearing in front of The Veranda
5:43:26just north of The Veranda was a high
5:43:28ground where gurara now stands at first
5:43:31this area was inaccessible due to heavy
5:43:34vegetation and trees the long wines from
5:43:37from the banion and People Trees draped
5:43:39and restricted access the tall trees had
5:43:42nests of eagles and vultures these birds
5:43:45would often bring Carion and such into
5:43:47their nest causing a lot of mess anyhow
5:43:50Baba would sit on the bed along with any
5:43:53other visitors listening to historical
5:43:55tales of the guru and of illustrious
5:43:57siks he would regularly listen to
5:43:59stories from texts like the kalgidhar
5:44:01chamatkar gurun nanak chamatkar by by V
5:44:05Singh G when one book book was finished
5:44:07he would start listening to the next one
5:44:10the duty of reading this historical test
5:44:12was performed by this humble servant s
5:44:15saas singi occasionally one or two
5:44:18people would stay to listen and I would
5:44:20be very pleased that there were some
5:44:21other people listening to the great
5:44:23Deeds of our Guru after the evening
5:44:25session of listening to the life of our
5:44:27gurus babaii would resite soila the last
5:44:31prayer a sick reads before sleeping and
5:44:34recite some extra Shabad before going to
5:44:36sleep de at the behest of the
5:44:38congregation and to accommodate the need
5:44:41for water babaii had a hand operated
5:44:44pump installed near to where the present
5:44:47day shoe depository
5:44:50stands chapter
5:44:5240 he provides for the
5:44:56hungry along with reciting his five
5:44:58prayers of daily nitname Baba GI will
5:45:01read a prayer called sukman sahab every
5:45:03day this prayer is composed by Guru
5:45:06Arjun d g
5:45:07while one day whilst he was deeply
5:45:09attuned in the prayer of sukm sah he
5:45:12came across the following passage God
5:45:15can revive the dead he gives sustenance
5:45:19to the
5:45:20hungry
5:45:25jalar he stopped to introspect upon
5:45:27these words and repeated them over and
5:45:31over several times the meaning of the
5:45:33phrases overpowered him and he thought
5:45:36look how power ful the Lord is he can
5:45:38bring alive those who have died and
5:45:40sustain the Hungry with the power of n
5:45:43babaii then thought of a Noel experiment
5:45:46he thought that if Nam can sustain one
5:45:48without the need for water or food then
5:45:51why not try this out practically why not
5:45:54try to exist and live on the power of
5:45:56Nam for 40 days without having any food
5:45:59or water in this way the strength of
5:46:01gurman can be experienced and in future
5:46:04one will be able to guide spiritual SE
5:46:06Seekers on the basis of practical
5:46:08experience one can assure the Seeker
5:46:11that Nam indeed is the only sustenance
5:46:13of the body and not food or water it can
5:46:16be shown that meditation on N is all
5:46:19powerful and can fulfill the needs of
5:46:21the physical body Nam can be shown not
5:46:24to be some abstract concept but a
5:46:27tangible practical force that is the
5:46:30basis of this physical Universe it was a
5:46:33summer season Baba completed his prayer
5:46:35of Suk sah
5:46:37he then set off towards the residence of
5:46:39Sardar Babas Singh to the north of his
5:46:42Hut Baba Singh wasn't at home so he left
5:46:45a message for him to send his son Sardar
5:46:48surjit Singh over to rampur Kira as soon
5:46:51as he came home as babaii had an
5:46:54important task for him babaii had
5:46:56already decided to practically verify
5:46:59the reality of the phrases that he had
5:47:01read he wanted to find out if Nam can
5:47:04indeed support and nourish the body
5:47:07after completing his work sadar sujit
5:47:09Singh came over to see babaii in the
5:47:11evening babaii told sujit Singh that for
5:47:1440 days I am going to meditate in this
5:47:16cave and will not be having anything to
5:47:18eat or drink for that duration for the
5:47:21first 4 to 5 days can you come and just
5:47:24look through the ceiling vent to check
5:47:26if I am still alive and that my body
5:47:29hasn't decomposed if I have passed away
5:47:32then cremate my body before it
5:47:34decomposes if I am okay after the first
5:47:36few days then you don't need to come to
5:47:38check on me any further hearing these
5:47:41grave instructions sujit Singh was
5:47:44deeply moved fearing the worst for
5:47:46babaii however babaii reassured sujit
5:47:49Singh that one must be firm in their
5:47:52resolve to live in the will of Almighty
5:47:54Baba says I have firm belief in the Lord
5:47:58that nothing will happen to me I only
5:48:00told you so that if I do expire then my
5:48:03body does not decompose in the summer
5:48:05heat J without food or water the very
5:48:09next day Baba completed his daily
5:48:11prayers and then made a supplication to
5:48:13the Lord oh patron of the poor this
5:48:16humble body of mine is presented in your
5:48:18feet so that it may earn the rewards of
5:48:21Truth enshrined and Nam show your
5:48:24blessing so that Nam becomes the only
5:48:26sustenance of this body Baba started his
5:48:29Simon he would Arise at 2: a.m. bathe
5:48:32and recite his niit name he would then
5:48:35recite Suk sah with great devotion and
5:48:38spend the rest of the day meditating on
5:48:40the mul Mantra and gur manra in the
5:48:43evening he would recite Reas and SOA he
5:48:46would take a short walk for half an hour
5:48:49and then retire for a short rest this
5:48:52was his routine for 40 days Baba used to
5:48:55tell us that those 40 days and nights
5:48:58passed in unimaginable Bliss this
5:49:01incident is also recorded on the audio
5:49:03cassettes in his own words hunger and
5:49:06thirst aside even the mere thought of
5:49:08food or water did not enter his mind
5:49:11Baba told us that his body didn't feel
5:49:13weak in any way whatsoever the words of
5:49:16the true Guru were verified God's name
5:49:20is my 36 varieties of food partaking of
5:49:23which I am
5:49:26[Music]
5:49:31satiated at the end of 40 days Baba
5:49:34thanked Almighty Lord with an ardas
5:49:36during those 40 days the almighty
5:49:39showered upon Baba many bounds spiritual
5:49:42gifts and the nectar of Nam the Bliss of
5:49:44which is Indescribable until experience
5:49:48for oneself his belief in gurubani
5:49:50became immovable and firm that gurbani
5:49:53is true without a doubt like an
5:49:56indelible mark on a stone a mark on a
5:49:59stone may disappear in time but gurbani
5:50:01is eternally true and Timeless the
5:50:04mountains the Earth all the water and
5:50:07the air shall all pass away but the
5:50:09Saints word is infallible G Bas J
5:50:14pad
5:50:17ban the shortfall is in our faith if One
5:50:20Believes firmly and with resolve in
5:50:23gurbani then its power definitely
5:50:26transforms the person who believes in it
5:50:29the need is to believe firmly in the
5:50:31truth of gbani as Guru ramash G says oh
5:50:35the Disciples of the guru know that the
5:50:37guru's hymns are true God the Creator
5:50:40causes the guru to utter the hymn with
5:50:42his mouth
5:50:47[Music]
5:50:50satgur if one has any doubt about the
5:50:53validity of gbani then that person
5:50:56should verify the principles of gbani by
5:50:58acting upon them denouncing gurbani
5:51:01without personally testing the truth
5:51:03enshrined in gurbani is a great sin and
5:51:06ultimately deceiving oneself they who
5:51:09firmly believe and have faith in gurbani
5:51:12become attuned in the Lord eventually
5:51:14becoming his form accept the word of the
5:51:17guru as true in this way you shall merge
5:51:20in the all pervasive
5:51:28Lord and the word of the guru is the
5:51:30embodiment of Truth through the word the
5:51:33Mortal becomes perfect Satur k bani
5:51:39gbani gbani is therefore the embodiment
5:51:42and essence of the ultimate truth
5:51:44through faith in gurmat one can be
5:51:46transformed into the form of the true
5:51:49Lord chapter

5:54:14all read a page in turn Baba would
5:54:17quietly listen and would Rectify any
5:54:19mispronounced words and if there was any

5:54:33incident or related story from the lives
5:54:36of our great Guru he would oblige Us by
5:54:39narrating these
5:54:40two a daily routine was in progress
5:54:43whereas all three of us would take
5:54:45tution from Baba G Master G would come
5:54:47after teaching at school and the two of
5:54:49us would return with our school bags

5:54:54for an hour or so and this routine
5:54:56continued until half of Sri gurug Gran
5:54:59sahab G was completed without any
5:55:01problems one day Master purun singi fell
5:55:04ill with high fever of 2° he managed to
5:55:08reach his school after pausing to rest a
5:55:10couple of times on the way he taught his
5:55:13pupils all day long in the evening he
5:55:15arrived at the gurara and lay down
5:55:17straight away Baba served lunger and
5:55:20refreshment and inquired about master
5:55:22G's Health Master G told Baba G he was
5:55:25ill and with fever and if they could
5:55:28continue santha tomorrow Babaji replied
5:55:31do as your body permits but if your
5:55:33health allows it try to take a little to
5:55:36tion so that we do not miss a day Master
5:55:39puran Singh declined to stay again Baba
5:55:42GI asked when did his fever start Master
5:55:45G replied since yesterday night how did
5:55:48you go to school asked Baba G by resting
5:55:51twice on the way to school replied
5:55:53Master G did you teach the children
5:55:56asked Baba GI yes I took lessons I took
5:55:59some medicine before I left and felt a
5:56:01little better answered Master puran
5:56:03Singh Baba GI spoke Master G you have
5:56:07managed to take all your lessons despite
5:56:09your Fe fever you have done it with the
5:56:12fear that if you take a day off you will
5:56:14lose your newly appointed job now when
5:56:17the time to learn the real treasure of
5:56:19life has arrived the mind is wavering
5:56:22and losing hope all day you continued
5:56:25regardless of your favor now despite you
5:56:28admitting yourself that you feel a
5:56:30little better you are ready to abandon
5:56:32the true gift of knowledge that will
5:56:35only take half an
5:56:36Master G please search within you look
5:56:39deep into your mind is this the correct
5:56:41thing to do in your own words you have
5:56:44admitted that you feel better now than
5:56:46you did earlier today Master G remained
5:56:49silent for a while and replied Baba you
5:56:52are right indeed despite my feverish
5:56:55condition this morning I went to work
5:56:57all day now when I feel less feverish
5:57:00maybe a little tired my mind is becoming
5:57:02lazy at the time of reciting just half
5:57:05an hour's tution in kurbani saying this
5:57:07master G arose at once denounced the
5:57:10mind as Idol the human is indolent to do
5:57:14good but becomes a tiger to do
5:57:20evil Master washed his hands face and
5:57:23feet and completed an hour or so of
5:57:25tution as he normally would have done
5:57:28though Baba asked Master twice during
5:57:30stha if he wanted to stop Master G
5:57:33carried on regardless saying this mind
5:57:36can run about in worldly Affairs even in
5:57:38adversity but a little effort to gain
5:57:41real spiritual benefit and it will make
5:57:43excuses even if the body is slightly ill
5:57:46at the end of tution Baba explained
5:57:49using gurbani that one should work
5:57:51within the capacity of the body one
5:57:53should not overwork obstinately but if
5:57:56the mind gets worldly work carried out
5:57:59easily but make excuses for Spiritual
5:58:02effort which is much less taxing than
5:58:05remember what what pagat kui has said oh
5:58:08Ste left me drive you to the Lord's
5:58:12Mansion if you hesitate I will strike
5:58:15you with the whip of the Lord's
5:58:21love Mar the great Guru has tried to
5:58:25mold the mind in numerous ways to
5:58:27encourage the Mind from dithering and
5:58:29wandering oh vicious mind no faith can
5:58:32be placed in you you are exceedingly in
5:58:36deated with sin the chain of the donkey
5:58:39is removed only when a load is first put
5:58:42on his back
5:58:51man
5:58:53Rah so Master G had your mind convinced
5:58:56you otherwise we would have been
5:58:58deprived of an hour of the company of
5:59:00the great Guru sometimes the Mind shks
5:59:03away from real work if we remain
5:59:05vigilant
5:59:06against its Wy ways it will not dither
5:59:09or wonder if we do not re it in and let
5:59:12it run a mock it will end up taking us
5:59:15into a spiritual loss as Guru Arjun d g
5:59:18has warned us against the mind oh fool
5:59:21you are very slow realize your real
5:59:24profit but in regard to your loss you

6:22:47deed and oh friendly Saints do this work

6:23:08time to contemplate God's name only a
6:23:11rare person indulges in this Majestic

6:23:19Lord nanak rare is the person who
6:23:22realizes this effort which Saves the
6:23:25World
6:23:35in this world all Pious actions like
6:23:38donating money austerities ritual
6:23:41chanting and self-restraint are nowhere
6:23:43near as fruitful and supreme as uttering
6:23:46the lord's name as many as there are
6:23:49alms giving Charities penances and
6:23:52chanting above them all is God's name
6:23:55whoever with his tongue utters God's

6:25:22swow the seed of n meditation on the

6:25:36such false
6:25:38practice oh the Dark Age has come

6:26:48the name is the only
6:26:57prop Guru bahad tells us as well that in
6:27:01this age of Darkness meditate on the
6:27:03name of the monovalent Lord doing which
6:27:06this Mortal can obtain salvation even
6:27:09the vdas that is the Hindu scriptures
6:27:12say that no amount of rituals can
6:27:15measure up to the meditation of the
6:27:17lord's
6:27:18name in this Dark Age of Kali Yuga the
6:27:22name of the one Lord is The Treasure of
6:27:24Mercy chanting it one obtains salvation
6:27:28no other religion is comparable to this
6:27:31so speak the vdas
6:27:44the third Guru Guru Amash G tells us
6:27:46that uttering the lord's name and
6:27:48singing his pray and singing his Praises
6:27:51are Paramount it was in the past that
6:27:54pilgrimages austerities and sacrifices
6:27:57were the way to salvation but in this
6:28:00age the ultimate method to obtain
6:28:02salvation is to meditate at on the
6:28:04lord's
6:28:05name celibacy self-discipline and
6:28:08pilgrimages are the faith of the past
6:28:11ages in the Dark Age glorification of
6:28:14the lord's name is the only righteous
6:28:16deed
6:28:23J our fifth satguru Guru Arjun G informs
6:28:26us that salvation in the Dark Ages can
6:28:29only be through the practice of Nam
6:28:32meditation in the Dark Ages one is
6:28:34emancipated only through the name nanak

6:28:47practice of meditation on the lord's
6:28:49name is Sublime and whosoever practices
6:28:52this will obtain salvation in this age
6:28:55regardless of their cast color or status
6:28:57in life in this Dark Age The Lord's name
6:29:00is the Supreme wealth through it saintly
6:29:03person are saved all the blemishes of
6:29:06namde jev Kabir tan and ravidas the
6:29:10Tanner were
6:29:13[Music]
6:29:22dispelled in our daily prayers of Ras
6:29:24the great Guru tells us that the most
6:29:26sacred act in this dark age is
6:29:29contemplation of the lord's name this is
6:29:32the only virtuous deed in the the Dark
6:29:34Age the one who sings the praise of the
6:29:36word
6:29:41Lord Guru ramash G clearly gives his
6:29:44verdict that one who does not sow the
6:29:47seeds of nam in kalyug and simply dabls
6:29:50in rituals loses everything including
6:29:53the Priceless breath that the Lord has
6:29:55given us to recite the name of God in
6:29:59the Dark Age if a man SWS any other seed
6:30:02apart from the name he he loses all his
6:30:05profit and
6:30:10capital the above mentioned edicts of
6:30:13guruji shows that in the age of Darkness
6:30:16Nam is given the utmost importance and
6:30:19is the Supreme method of obtaining
6:30:21salvation gurbani guides and directs
6:30:25only to contemplate meditate and recite
6:30:28the name of the Lord it would not be an
6:30:31exaggeration to say that God has given
6:30:34this human life to meditate on his name
6:30:37and escape the cycle of rebirth
6:30:39ultimately merging into the almighty
6:30:42Lord the Mortal who confines his life to
6:30:44working worldly Affairs and blind
6:30:47rituals is shunned by Guru Amash G A
6:30:50cursed is the Mortal along with his
6:30:52family and friends when one attains not
6:30:55his master now the opportunity lost
6:30:58comes not to hand again and such a man
6:31:01loses his life in vain Tri
6:31:12gu Guru ramash she says that it would
6:31:15have been better if mothers of those who
6:31:17do not utter the lord's name were baren
6:31:20such people are stuck in this world and
6:31:22lament like someone caught in a bush of
6:31:24thorns oh Master the mother of those
6:31:28within whom mind the name abides not
6:31:31ought to have been Barren their forlon
6:31:33bodies wander about without the name and
6:31:36they waste their lives and die
6:31:50crying now the question arises how and
6:31:53where can n be obtained Nam which allows
6:31:57one to enter the Lord's Kingdom brings
6:32:00Bliss and peace all gurbani resoundingly
6:32:04declares
6:32:05repeatedly that this is the only way to
6:32:08Salvation Guru ramash tells us that the
6:32:11great Guru himself bestowed the gift of
6:32:14Nam on the Mortal those who are blessed
6:32:16meet the guru who then bestows the gift
6:32:19of Nam upon them the guru has already
6:32:22known the Lord Almighty God has
6:32:25empowered the guru to bestow Nam upon
6:32:27Mortals The True Guru is a giver of
6:32:30God's name himself he causes me to meet
6:32:33the Lord the true Guru has understood
6:32:35the Lord God now none else is as great
6:32:39as the guru I go and fall under the
6:32:42guru's protection by his grace he unites
6:32:45me with the
6:32:55lordu Amash tells us that only the true
6:32:59Guru can bless us with n who gets to
6:33:01meet the true Guru the one who is
6:33:04showered With the blessings of the
6:33:05Supreme Lord from the true Guru the name
6:33:08is obtained by the guru's grace the Lord
6:33:11is
6:33:17obtained once the true Guru establishes
6:33:20resolutely the N of the Lord within our
6:33:22hearts then our destiny awakens when
6:33:25does the guru awaken and change our
6:33:28destiny answer when we submit ourselves
6:33:31unconditionally to him so that for the
6:33:34sake of the Lord master I have sold off
6:33:36my body to the perfect Guru the
6:33:39beneficient true Guru has implanted
6:33:41God's name within me on my face and
6:33:44forehead very auspicious Destiny is
6:33:47inscribed
6:33:58har gurbani tells us that without
6:34:00receiving Nam from the true Guru there
6:34:03is no salvation ation without the true
6:34:05Guru the name is not obtained O Brother
6:34:08and without the name doubts depart
6:34:17not and it is through the perfect Guru
6:34:20that the lord's name is obtained to
6:34:22remain merged in the true Lord is the
6:34:24only true form of yoga
6:34:28[Music]
6:34:34and oh my intimate friend devote
6:34:36yourself to meditation of the lord your
6:34:39spouse ever serve thou your Guru and
6:34:42obtain the wealth of
6:34:43[Music]
6:34:53n so dear friends meditate on the lord's
6:34:57name as this is what appeases the Lord
6:34:59this blessing of remembrance is obtained
6:35:01from the true Guru oh knowledgeable
6:35:04Seeker without the guru Lord's
6:35:06devotional service cannot be
6:35:09performed as the bleach cloth cannot
6:35:12assume color of Dy however much we may
6:35:15desire it
6:35:25pause as starched cloth will not pick up
6:35:28color of a Dye until it is washed of it
6:35:30starched and bleached similarly to
6:35:32cleanse the mind so that it may have
6:35:35imbued with the color of the lord's name
6:35:38it is important to be in O that is
6:35:40reverential fear of the guru without the
6:35:43Lord's awe his devotional service cannot
6:35:46be performed ever loving worship enters
6:35:49on the wings of reverential
6:35:57Alli Guru amashi tells us that they who
6:36:01worship without the guidance of a guru
6:36:03waste their effort and become wey they
6:36:06who follow their mind and meditate
6:36:08without the guru find that their effort
6:36:10is not accepted in the Lord's Court as
6:36:13they are unable to wash the dirt of the
6:36:16ego themselves the perverse Worship the
6:36:19Lord without the
6:36:26guru but how can devotional service be
6:36:29performed without the guru so my mind
6:36:32the Mortal is only cleansed when he
6:36:33enters the Refuge of the guru and pleads
6:36:36oh my mind if you seek the shelter of
6:36:38the guru then you shall become filth the
6:36:41perverse have grown wary of repeating
6:36:44God's name but their dirt of ego could
6:36:46not be
6:36:57cleansed everyone is uttering the name
6:36:59of the Lord with his or her tongue just
6:37:02a mere recitation of his name will not
6:37:04lead to our Salvation through guru's
6:37:07Grace when God's name awakens and imbus
6:37:09our complete being then our efforts bear
6:37:12fruit all men utter God's name but such
6:37:16utterance does not unite one with the
6:37:18Lord if by the guru's grace the Lord
6:37:21abides in the mind then alone does one
6:37:24gather the fruit Ram
6:37:34P so it is clear that without the guru's
6:37:37grace Nam cannot abide in the heart now
6:37:40the question arises how do we obtain the
6:37:43guru's grace it would be appropriate to
6:37:46give a worldly example in order to
6:37:48obtain a favor from our parents friends
6:37:51or relatives one would have to appease
6:37:53them by doing what they ask us to do we
6:37:56would follow that every command or wish
6:37:58in order to appease them first in the
6:38:01same way if we wish to gain the guru's
6:38:03Grace then we need to appease
6:38:06him oh sister you who walk on this path
6:38:10do the work that the guru bids you to do
6:38:13abandon thou your mind's intellect and
6:38:15give up the love of another thus you
6:38:18shall have the Lord's Vision even the
6:38:20hot winds shall not touch you by myself
6:38:23I know not how to speak I utter all that
6:38:26is the command of the Lord
6:38:49sir Guru nanak d g orders he who abides
6:38:53by the guru's order gets pleasure of the
6:38:56guru
6:39:01hook so by obeying his command man
6:39:04becomes acceptable and obtains a place
6:39:06in the Lord's mansion He who accepts his
6:39:09master's bidding obtains all his heart's
6:39:13desires what is the order of the guru
6:39:16during the lifetime of our Guru whenever
6:39:19a devote came looking for Spiritual
6:39:21Enlightenment then considering him as
6:39:24deserving he would be given CH Amrit at
6:39:27that time Amrit was prepared by chanting
6:39:29mul manra and gur manra it was then
6:39:34blessed by the guru dipping his toe in
6:39:36the water P gurashi tells us in his V
6:39:40that the feet of the guru were washed
6:39:42after prayer and the water that is
6:39:44chamrat was offered to the sicks to
6:39:46drink after Guru nanak d g started
6:39:49preaching the gospel the Lord's aim of n
6:39:52meditation came to fru when guruji
6:39:56established a separate pth that is a
6:39:59religion or spiritual path by gurashi

6:40:29Almighty Guru Goin Singh G writes in the
6:40:32bit
6:40:34God has graced him as his own son and
6:40:37sent him here to this world to preach
6:40:39religion and establish the sick month so
6:40:42that the masses could be stopped from
6:40:45indulging in evildoing the 10th Guru
6:40:48eliminated the institution of a physical
6:40:50Guru by creating a Perfection as he
6:40:53handed the devote over to shabbat Guru
6:40:56after performing The Miraculous deed of
6:40:58baki in 1699 when he established the
6:41:02kalsa pth in the image of the five
6:41:04beloved ones he arrived at huzur sahab
6:41:07nand India here at nand the congregation
6:41:11was amassed and while sir gurug Gran
6:41:13sahb was enthroned the 10th Guru Guru
6:41:16gobin Singh G bowed to S gurug Gran sahb
6:41:19and placed five pennies and a coconut as
6:41:22an offering in doing so he transferred
6:41:24his Divine Light into the Shabbat Guru
6:41:27and ordered the kalsa to accept s Guru
6:41:29Gran sahb G as their Guru in all ages to
6:41:32come this he told them was the order of
6:41:35the almighty Lord the sixs bowed to the
6:41:38order of Guru Goin singj and then asked
6:41:40oh Redeemer of the poor we will accept
6:41:43and regard SRI Guru Gran sahab G as our
6:41:46Guru but how will we transfer the Divine
6:41:48Light of the word into the Mortal body
6:41:51without the technique of pre preparing
6:41:53Cham who shall be able to give Cham and
6:41:56bless it now the great Guru smiled as he
6:42:00heard their request and replied we have
6:42:02already restored this power to the kalsa
6:42:04on basaki of
6:42:071699 the authority of baptizing resides
6:42:10with the five beloved ones they are
6:42:13entrusted with the authority and
6:42:15personify me when they administer
6:42:17baptism they can impose Penance or
6:42:20absolve a devote if they see fit they
6:42:23are the supreme authority and their
6:42:25order is the final word they will now
6:42:28administer the Amrit prepared by a
6:42:30double-edged sword called kipah
6:42:34for us it becomes an immovable fact that
6:42:37whosoever wants to appease the guru and
6:42:40attract his grace must take baptism at
6:42:42the hands of the five beloved ones he or
6:42:45she must take Kandi pahul and not any
6:42:48other type of initiation whatsoever from
6:42:51any other physical Guru all spiritual
6:42:54guidance is to be taken from Sri gurug
6:42:56Grans G and the five beloved ones one
6:42:59must follow the code of conduct given to
6:43:02us by the five beloved ones in the umit
6:43:04ceremony and if we deviate in any of our
6:43:07vows seek pardon from the five beloved
6:43:10ones at the first available opportunity
6:43:13in a nutshell we must completely
6:43:15surrender our whole being mind body and
6:43:18soul to Sir Guru Gran Saj in the
6:43:20presence of the five beloved ones one
6:43:23must follow the guru's order with faith
6:43:25the code of conduct and living imparted
6:43:27To Us by the five beloved ones in the
6:43:30presence of Sri gurug Gran sah G must be
6:43:33followed without fail our inner and
6:43:35outer code of conduct is to read gurbani
6:43:38recite gur man and M man ni name and
6:43:42live according to the principles laid
6:43:44down by the guru only then can one be a
6:43:47claimant to the guru's grace surrender
6:43:50all your body soul and wealth unto the
6:43:53guru and submit to his will thou shall
6:43:56you obtain the Lord
6:44:03the guru too donates it all to the
6:44:06devote who surrenders completely to him
6:44:09all the five beloved ones gather the
6:44:11heads when asked the guru gave himself
6:44:14to the baptism at the hands of the kalsa
6:44:17so much so the guru gave his son to
6:44:19maintain The Prestige of the P to such a
6:44:22devotee the guru gives everything and
6:44:25hides nothing from him kalsa the true
6:44:28devote is given Supreme Honor by Guru
6:44:31Goin Singh G the Kal ala is my true
6:44:34embodiment I reside within the kalsa
6:44:37kalsa is my mouth and organs I am
6:44:40forever with
6:44:53Thea the guru's adict received through
6:44:56the five beloved ones once put into
6:44:58practice slowly starts to wash away the
6:45:01dirt of the ego and vanity
6:45:03the soul defiled with sins is cleansed
6:45:06with the love of God's
6:45:12name gbani serves the purpose of
6:45:15spiritual soap and medicine for the
6:45:17diseased mind recitation of gantar and
6:45:20gurani is a must whether we concentrate
6:45:23or not to clean our mind rapidly SAA
6:45:26that is humble service without material
6:45:28reward of the congregation is essential
6:45:32slowly after repeatedly trying the Mind
6:45:35becomes pure affection and liking for
6:45:37gurbani arises in the mind a taste then
6:45:40develops for uttering vuru these are
6:45:43symbols of a mind beginning to become
6:45:45purified a mind such as this is
6:45:48attracted to gurbani and itself appeases
6:45:51the guru the purified mind will
6:45:53concentrate on gurbani and will enshrine
6:45:56the words of the Lord of n this becomes
6:45:59the stage of
6:46:01unity with the almight Mighty the code
6:46:04of conduct given by the five beloved
6:46:06ones helps to stabilize n in our heart
6:46:09the length of time it takes n to
6:46:13enshrine in our hearts depends on how
6:46:15promptly one abides by the guru's order
6:46:18and practice the guru's instructions
6:46:20with faith and devotion he who heartily
6:46:23realizes this kurbani within his mind
6:46:26abides the lord's name
6:46:29[Music]
6:46:33Raha by the guru's grace God's fear is
6:46:36obtained and by great Good Fortune God
6:46:39comes and abides in the
6:46:42mind when fear of the Lord arises the
6:46:45mind is restrained and through Nam ego
6:46:48is burnt up ego is burned through
6:46:51gurumant and
6:46:52gurbani if she effaces her ego then she
6:46:55merges in her
6:47:01spouse then gur d g tells us that when
6:47:04the ego is burned one obtains salvation
6:47:07when self-conceit departs the highest
6:47:09rank is
6:47:14obtained when through n the ego is
6:47:17stilled then he finds the Lord's Mansion
6:47:24pause if man steals his ego by the
6:47:27guru's grace he imbibes the Lord's love
6:47:30then he becomes pure and attains supreme
6:47:32status
6:47:40when ego is stilled then know he the one
6:47:43Lord such a guru word merges into the
6:47:53Lord when ego dies the ultimate
6:47:56spiritual position that is parad is
6:47:59obtained then the human life of the
6:48:01Mortal becomes success UC F and he
6:48:03merges with the almighty he o nanic
6:48:07blends with the Lord as water mingles
6:48:09with water
6:48:15n and the pervading God and Kabir have
6:48:18become one and no one can distinguish
6:48:20between the
6:48:25two so in order to attain this Blissful
6:48:29State of Union it is in our benefit that
6:48:32we do not waste any more time by taking
6:48:35the guru's shelter we must seek His
6:48:37blessings Guru Arjun d g orders that we
6:48:40should delay actions that are sinful and
6:48:43promptly take those action that are
6:48:45Pious and good so delay not in
6:48:48practicing righteousness delay only in
6:48:51committing
6:48:53[Music]
6:48:55sin dear friends to perfect this human
6:48:58life take the Amrit of the Kanda and

6:49:23Lord and the cycle of Life Death and
6:49:26rebirth will continue Baba GI would give
6:49:29the sermon at every gurmat camp and
6:49:31numerous Dev deves would be inspired to
6:49:34take Amrit
6:49:39thereafter chapter
6:49:4144 sharing communal food
6:49:46lunger at the end of the a part held
6:49:49during September 1951 the entire
6:49:53congregation sat in straight rows called
6:49:55pungut literally means Rose alongside
6:49:59one another so that they could all share
6:50:01in the lunger the communal kitchen where
6:50:03all six share
6:50:05food our Guru started the tradition of
6:50:08lunger and free food is served to all
6:50:10who come regardless of cast color creed
6:50:13or status a few people from gpur Village
6:50:17got together and approached babaii and
6:50:20asked to have a private audience with
6:50:21him Baba consented politely to go ahead
6:50:25and ask whatever they wanted without
6:50:28hesitation the spokesman of the group
6:50:30asked Baba please could you announce it
6:50:33over the speaker that those people who
6:50:35belong to a lower and Untouchable cast
6:50:38to sit in a separate row hearing these
6:50:41words Baba rebuked the group of people
6:50:44and said at no cost can this request of
6:50:47yours be accepted this cannot happen in
6:50:51the eyes of the Lord and Guru we are all
6:50:53equal with no one of high or low cast
6:50:57all have been blessed with equal status
6:51:00do not ever dream of our exceeding your
6:51:02request
6:51:03if you people feel you are above the
6:51:05rest of the congregation then you can
6:51:06sit somewhere separate from the rose but
6:51:09the rose will remain for all of us to
6:51:11eat lunger together hearing these robust
6:51:14and impressive words the group of people
6:51:17stood in silence none dared to speak
6:51:20another word on the contrary they two
6:51:22were influenced by Baba's words and sat
6:51:25back amongst the rest of the
6:51:27congregation in the common Row the above
6:51:30mentioned incident was not just m words
6:51:32on Baba's behalf Baba practices the
6:51:36principle of lunger and pungut all his
6:51:38life he would always sit in the S daily
6:51:41to have lunger in rows on the floor just
6:51:44as it was in the times of our beloved
6:51:46Guru he would never have food made for
6:51:48him or eat separately from the
6:51:51congregation he would eat whatever was
6:51:53available in the guru's kitchen for one
6:51:56and all in fact this principle showed
6:51:58the humility of babaii and his belief in
6:52:01the equality of all human beings it
6:52:04showed his practical application of the
6:52:06highest principles of our Guru that he
6:52:09too was a part of the guru's
6:52:10congregation and not above
6:52:13it generally who would take very little
6:52:15salt in his food if there was too much
6:52:18salt in the Dal that is the lentil soap
6:52:20he would just dilute it with some water
6:52:23he almost never ate green or red chilies
6:52:26if he was due to eat at anyone's house
6:52:29he would ask them beforehand to refrain
6:52:31from using chilies in the food if
6:52:34someone in the family had put chilies in
6:52:36the food
6:52:38inadvertently he would discreetly
6:52:40without fuss just dip his chapati in
6:52:43water and eat it similarly if there was
6:52:45too much sugar in the tea he wouldn't
6:52:47scold anyone he would just add some
6:52:50water to dilute it it was as if he
6:52:53followed what aat kiji had said the
6:52:56Lord's elixir of nam I have tasted
6:52:59tasting which nectar all other relishes
6:53:03I have
6:53:09forgotten Baba was a utillian in that he
6:53:12ate for the simple purpose of satisfying
6:53:15his nutritional needs and not to indulge
6:53:18in tasting culinary Delicacies he was
6:53:21not in favor of frying food or eating
6:53:23spicy food he would prefer simple food
6:53:26without too much spice garlic and other
6:53:28garnishes the Dal made for the S would
6:53:31be made simply simply by boiling lentils
6:53:34with chopped onions and some butter he
6:53:36would often have masur Dal a yellow
6:53:38lentil made into a soup or yogurt with
6:53:41some chapatis in the early days if a
6:53:44devotee bought milk to Gara Baba GI
6:53:47would make tea or herbal tea called a
6:53:49SAA and use the milk for the service of
6:53:52the suut if no milk was available he
6:53:55would make tea as normal but instead of
6:53:57adding milk he would add a little butter
6:54:00and offer it to the suut with the he
6:54:02would offer his apologies we have no
6:54:04milk in the Gara and I don't go to beg
6:54:07for milk please accept this tea as it is
6:54:10whatever the true Guru sends here we
6:54:13distribute it as it comes to us back to
6:54:16the
6:54:17suat chapter
6:54:1945 a thought about false gurus
6:54:24gudam only a short while had elapsed
6:54:27since Baba had come to rampur Kira one
6:54:30day a man called bwan sing arrived from
6:54:33Baba G's Village to see him after
6:54:36exchanging pleasantries he petitioned
6:54:38babai G dear PAB G you have been
6:54:41extoling the virtues of becoming a sik
6:54:43of Siri Guru Gran sah G and asserting
6:54:46that gurbani is the true Guru with much
6:54:48enthusiasm you also tell the SLE that it
6:54:51is the divine order of the almighty to
6:54:53believe SRI Guru Gran sahb G as the true
6:54:56Guru you also said that gurbani is the
6:54:59guru and Guru is the gurbani yet despite
6:55:02your favorite message many people of
6:55:05your own village are becoming followers
6:55:07of a living Guru at first only a few low
6:55:11cast people joined this cult but now
6:55:14even people from well of families have
6:55:16started to follow such a living Guru the
6:55:18Farm Workers who joined the cult of the
6:55:21living Guru persuaded their landowner
6:55:23employers to convert to a new religion
6:55:25two such families have gone as far as to
6:55:28have special mantras whispered into
6:55:30their ear as a mark of initiation into
6:55:33the fold of this living Guru sadar buan
6:55:37Singh continued I asked these people why
6:55:39had they joined the growing flock of
6:55:41this living Guru and abandoned the
6:55:43shelter of Sir gurug Gran sahib G they
6:55:46told me that the living Guru preaches
6:55:48about gurbani too they told me they sing
6:55:50and recite gurbani just like us moreover
6:55:53they tell me that they only found out
6:55:56after visiting the living Guru that
6:55:58gurbani teaches us that a living Guru is
6:56:00indeed needed for
6:56:03salvation balwan Singh narrated the in
6:56:05whole incident and went on to plea to
6:56:08babaii to do something to stop the tide
6:56:10of conversions or else the whole will
6:56:13Village would end up following the
6:56:15so-called living Guru babaii replied you
6:56:17should pray at the feet of our Guru that
6:56:20He blesses these people with greater
6:56:22intellect and insight so that they are
6:56:24not LED astray Babaji told me later I
6:56:27felt great pity and sorrow for these
6:56:29people balwan Singh had told me about a
6:56:32thought arose within me that if the
6:56:35spread of false living gurus were not
6:56:37dealt with then in times to come it
6:56:40would erode the values of the sick Faith
6:56:43moreover we worldly people do not want
6:56:45to toil in order to earn the fruit of
6:56:48spiritual bless obtained by meditating
6:56:50on N people want a readymade blessing
6:56:53and want someone else to guarantee that
6:56:55they will get salvation they want
6:56:58someone else to assure them that their
6:57:00spiritual debt is repaid so these false
6:57:02gurus give them ready-made blessings and
6:57:05guarantees to save their followers in
6:57:08the afterlife by giving such readymade
6:57:10blessings they propagate their false
6:57:13business causing the devote to lose any
6:57:15chance of redemption in the
6:57:18afterlife Baba told me a powerful
6:57:20thought came over me that to stop the
6:57:23spread of such false prophets from
6:57:25spreading their
6:57:27guram guram is a slang often used for a
6:57:31daa in which the priest considers
6:57:33himself as a guru that is a physical God
6:57:35and he runs his institution on so-called
6:57:39religion lives in which the general
6:57:41public are is asked to worship him this
6:57:44is against
6:57:46sism Baba told me a powerful thought
6:57:49came over me that to stop the spread of
6:57:51such false prophets from spreading their
6:57:54gudam Divine strength is required with
6:57:58this power these false gurus will be
6:58:01filled with tation
6:58:02and stop profiling their false religion
6:58:05with this in mind I prayed to almighty
6:58:08God to bless me with Divine strength
6:58:10after 3 days of constant prayer the guru
6:58:13blessed me with a vision in the vision
6:58:16the true Guru said to me I give you all
6:58:18my powers and bestow all my strength
6:58:21upon you use it as you please after
6:58:25hearing these words of the true Guru
6:58:27babaii felt as if the whole power of the
6:58:29universe the Lord's miraculous
6:58:32mysterious and unimaginable strength
6:58:35poured into my being he felt so powerful
6:58:38that he could kill a person by his
6:58:40thought alone Baba felt he could stop
6:58:43the great flowing river by uttering a
6:58:45single word in short he felt he could
6:58:48make anything happen with just a word or
6:58:51a thought Babaji used to say that after
6:58:54attaining this tremendous power another
6:58:57thought came to him he thought how
6:59:00exactly can I use this power what if by
6:59:02using this power somebody is killed or
6:59:05injured or harmed in any way who will be
6:59:08responsible for their suffering
6:59:10ultimately I will be responsible for
6:59:12what I do to them though this power
6:59:14belongs to God Almighty the
6:59:17responsibility of its use or misuse is
6:59:19mine it is me who will reap the fruits
6:59:22of good or bad actions two days passed
6:59:25in the state of introspection and
6:59:27turbulent thoughts in the end babaii
6:59:29pleaded with the true Guru oh savior of
6:59:31the poor please take this divine power
6:59:34you bestowed upon me as I am incapable
6:59:36of using it correctly your will is sweet
6:59:40do as it pleases you you alone know the

7:02:25twice a day if he became a little sober
7:02:29he would then start resorting to
7:02:31drinking alcohol the house in which
7:02:34addiction to drugs takes hold heads
7:02:37straight to bankruptcy money became
7:02:40tight and soon he found himself
7:02:42penniless to sustain his addiction to
7:02:45Opium and to buy it he started to brew
7:02:47and distill alcohol at
7:02:50home he would sell this illicit liquor
7:02:53to fund his addiction to Opium under
7:02:56compulsion his wife would have to keep a
7:02:58fire going under his homemade Distillery
7:03:01he would collect the evaporated
7:03:03distilled alcohol all day long so that
7:03:06he could sell it
7:03:07illegally Sardar Amar sing used this
7:03:10money to support his addiction home
7:03:13brewed alcohol also allowed him to
7:03:16remain drunk all the time the local
7:03:18police would raid his house every few
7:03:20days to disrupt his home
7:03:23Enterprise SAR Amar Singh constantly
7:03:25played a cat and mouse Catch Me If You
7:03:28Can game with the local police he was
7:03:31prosecuted many times and would appear
7:03:33in court repeatedly paying
7:03:36fines litigation became a constant
7:03:39companion hardship was now a way of life
7:03:42but still his mind would not allow him
7:03:44to give up his awful addiction by ersing
7:03:48would say that he was destitute and
7:03:50would sleep outside his house in case
7:03:52the police raided his house during the
7:03:54night his heart was deeply troubled but
7:03:59as P gurashi says an opian taker knows
7:04:02taking opium is very bad he is unable to
7:04:06leave this
7:04:07habit
7:04:16J so it was with sadar Amar singhi if
7:04:20one part of him agreed to kick the
7:04:22addiction another part of him would tell
7:04:24him that this was the only way to earn a
7:04:27livelihood his mind would tell him that
7:04:29survival without distilling alcohol was
7:04:32impossible there seemed to be no
7:04:34alternative but to continue as he had
7:04:37done financing his addiction by S
7:04:40selling homemade alcohol if I do not
7:04:43drink with visitors now how will I
7:04:46encourage more customers to buy my
7:04:48alcohol he thought ommer sing used to be
7:04:51a soldier in the military and was
7:04:53physically wellb built and fit to start
7:04:56with but addiction to drugs and alcohol
7:04:59had weakened his body into a feeble
7:05:01emancipated State one day sadar am Singh
7:05:05stood around with his friends and
7:05:07customers talking business by the
7:05:09roadside suddenly babaii who was walking
7:05:12to gardial caught his eye he quickly
7:05:15deserted his friends for a while ran up
7:05:17to babaii and bowed his head greeting
7:05:20babaii babaii halted in his tracks ammer
7:05:24Singh at once pleaded with Babaji Baba I
7:05:27am fed up with taking these intoxicants
7:05:30there is no substance that I do not use
7:05:33my family is in deep throws of poty the
7:05:36police are constantly on my back I sleep
7:05:39rough in the fields to avoid arrest I
7:05:42unable and Powerless to give up the use
7:05:45of the
7:05:46substances I have heard that you have
7:05:49helped numerous people to kick their
7:05:51addictions to drug and alcohol and put
7:05:53them on the righteous path please take
7:05:56pity on this poor fellow remedy and
7:05:59bless me somehow Baba's spontaneously
7:06:02replied first we must have compassion
7:06:05for ourselves and then the law too
7:06:08becomes benevolent Upon Us secondly if
7:06:11you wish to abandon your addiction to
7:06:13substances then get baptized when the
7:06:16elixir of immortality enters your heart
7:06:19then intoxicating poisons will leave
7:06:22your body as long as you remain steady
7:06:24fast in your vows earn the favor of the
7:06:27great Guru by acting and living by the
7:06:30words of our Guru
7:06:32without questioning any further he
7:06:34agreed with babaii and asked when the
7:06:36next baptism that is Amit pchar ceremony
7:06:40would take place Baba replied that the
7:06:43week following the day before the
7:06:45birthday celebrations of gurun nanak d g
7:06:48and Amrit prar was due to take place on
7:06:52that day Amar Singh take Amrit and Ferry
7:06:55yourself across the oceans in the guru's
7:06:57ship Amarin agreed to be baptized and
7:07:00returned to his companions but said
7:07:02nothing even though they kept asking him
7:07:05why he was talking to the Saint with
7:07:07such
7:07:08solemnity when amers Singh came home he
7:07:11ordered his wife to have some ceras
7:07:14these are special types of shorts apart
7:07:17of the five k his wife was flabbergasted
7:07:20at this request from her husband
7:07:23regarding his intention to be baptized
7:07:26amers sing's wife could not help herself
7:07:28and retorted before getting baptized
7:07:31eyes why don't you try and give up
7:07:33substance abuse or will you distill your
7:07:35wine with a Kon another of the five k
7:07:39around your neck or when selling liquor
7:07:42sadar Amar Singh replied good lady I
7:07:45have given my word to Baba so if we go
7:07:48hungry live or die destitute I'm going
7:07:51to give up drugs and alcohol ammer
7:07:54Singh's wife knew his promises were
7:07:56often empty she could not judge if he
7:07:59was telling the truth or pulling wool
7:08:01over her eyes with another of his Half
7:08:04Baked
7:08:05schemes she kept staring at his face to
7:08:08judge if he had not taken too much opium
7:08:11to see if it was the drug making him
7:08:13talk
7:08:15irrationally a little convinced that am
7:08:17Singh was not under the influence she
7:08:19thought maybe God had turned the tide
7:08:22and turned his mind as well she thought
7:08:25thankfully I too might get relief from
7:08:28The Heat Of The Furnace used to distill
7:08:30alcohol she then said to her husband if
7:08:34you are just going to return to your old
7:08:37ways of drink and drugs then it is
7:08:39better that you do not get baptized in
7:08:42the first place but if you are going to
7:08:44stick to your vows after taking Amrit
7:08:47then you can have as many caseras as you
7:08:49want Sardar Amar Singh reassured his
7:08:53wife that he was returning after tasting
7:08:55the bitter experience of addiction the
7:08:58truth be known in my mind I wanted to
7:09:01give up alcohol and drugs but my mind
7:09:03was faltering and wavering I met the
7:09:06saint from rampura on his way to gal I
7:09:10told him about my wretched addiction and
7:09:12he suggested that to help myself I must
7:09:15take UMR to rid me of intoxicants umit
7:09:19will help in obtaining the grace of God
7:09:21these words of the resolve from babaii
7:09:24strengthened my will and my mind has
7:09:26been made to get baptized ever since so
7:09:29you too should get prepared to take umit
7:09:31on gurur of Guru nanak D G let us both
7:09:35drink the elixir of immortality instead
7:09:38of the evil poison that was alcohol and
7:09:41see what ensues said amers Singh to his
7:09:45wife amers Singh's wife was taken back
7:09:47and thank God for his Mercy that a
7:09:50husband was today talking of divine
7:09:52knowledge and mortality his wife replied
7:09:55I do not object to being baptized but
7:09:58let's not become the Laughing stalk
7:10:00amongst the Community I have heard from
7:10:03people that a person cursed by the guru
7:10:06gets no compassion here in this world or
7:10:09the Hereafter I am afraid that we do not
7:10:12commit a sin by breaking our vows
7:10:14instead of earning the guru's blessings
7:10:17sadar Amar Singh replied dear wife do
7:10:20not let your mind waver get ready the
7:10:23true Guru whose umit we drink will
7:10:26protect us himself we are mere mortals
7:10:29and cannot claim the ability to follow
7:10:31his views as Baba GI said Amit will
7:10:35guard you get ready and dispel your
7:10:37doubts if you do not believe then give
7:10:40me all the distilling equipment and I
7:10:42will break it up here right in front of

7:10:47health wealth and everything in the
7:10:49house I am not going to keep this

7:10:54reassuringly consoled his wife in this
7:10:57angry mood sadar Amar Singh gathered all
7:11:00the equipment broke it up and threw it
7:11:03in the Stream near this house he touched

7:11:30his wife was convinced Ed that ammer
7:11:32Singh had reformed and God had blessed
7:11:34him with the good intention of being
7:11:37baptized she encouragingly said you have
7:11:40done a good thing by throwing your
7:11:42distilling equipment out of the house I
7:11:45was constantly worried lest the police
7:11:47raid our house and find it here when the
7:11:50police came you would jump over the wall
7:11:53and hide in the fields but I was the one
7:11:55left behind to listen to their abusive
7:11:58filthy language I would sit next to the

7:12:03threat of being arrested I was
7:12:05constantly anxious always watching over

7:15:00Singh he will speak frankly of his past
7:15:03life and how it Compares with his new
7:15:05life my life as an addict was pure
7:15:08slavery dependence full of worries and
7:15:11doubts equivalent to living in hell

7:15:16neglected I was taunted and cursed by
7:15:19from all directions even my neighbors
7:15:22were traumatized by my life of addiction
7:15:26my family would suffer harassment from
7:15:28the police on my account even my
7:15:30relative would make me feel unwelcome
7:15:33wishing I would leave their presence as
7:15:35soon as possible I had no standing or
7:15:38respect in the community no one trusted
7:15:41me no one believed a word I said and in
7:15:44fact they would tell me to my face no
7:15:46one can trust an addict's word in this
7:15:50intoxicated State you could get me to
7:15:53promise anything but when sober I would
7:15:56not remember my words or deeds compared
7:15:59to my life now it would would not be
7:16:01overstating the fact that life as an
7:16:04addict was far worse than hell now

7:16:28through the blessings of the suat when I
7:16:30became B
7:16:31baptized as the sips of Amit that is
7:16:34alexir or nectar pass my lips it
7:16:38happened just as pagat kiji
7:16:41describes Lord's elexir I have quaffed
7:16:44by which nectar I have forgotten all
7:16:47other
7:16:53relishes and by quaffing that nectar
7:16:56this worldly relish Remains Not pleasing
7:17:00or rasia
7:17:03there is enormous strength in the guru's
7:17:06AM lest one imagines it is just water
7:17:09sweetened with sugar that is patasha
7:17:13round sugar crystals used to prepare
7:17:15Amrit this nectar has tremendous power
7:17:18to transform a life drastically as it
7:17:21did with me if anyone had any doubts

7:17:29transformation B about by am life
7:17:32without guruji without tasting the
7:17:34alexir of immortality is worthless
7:17:37accursed and foul one cannot fathom its
7:17:40depths or evaluate its worth the guru's
7:17:43umit completely transforms one's
7:17:46life without tasting no one enjoys the
7:17:50name's relish by the guru's instructions
7:17:53one drinks the Lord's nectar in drinking
7:17:56nectar the Mortal acquires Immortal

7:26:06sunk in front of the present day gurara
7:26:09a holding tank for water was constructed
7:26:12with

7:26:16to deliver water readily the
7:26:18installation of the tube well me water
7:26:21was freely available for many purposes
7:26:24including bathing cooking and cleaning
7:26:27as old Companions of babaii found out
7:26:29about where he was residing they
7:26:32increasingly started to visit and take
7:26:35part in the various Gatherings and
7:26:36functions throughout the year to take
7:26:39advantage of his Divine company and
7:26:41receive blessings of the congregation

7:26:50started visiting bringing with them many
7:26:53others to these religious gatherings
7:26:56rans Kean continued every month for 2
7:27:00years and then babaii stopped these and
7:27:03continued with more daytime Gatherings
7:27:06inspiration to construct a
7:27:08gurara baba was hesitant about rapid
7:27:11expansion lest it disrupt his meditation
7:27:15and led to undue attachments the cause
7:27:18of all misery so much so that if any
7:27:21money was left over from a religious
7:27:23function he would get sweets made he
7:27:27would have the sweets distributed to
7:27:29children in the nebor schools and any
7:27:31that was left over were distributed to
7:27:34passerbys even though babaii was
7:27:37hesitant some siks who attended the
7:27:39September gathering in
7:27:411957 requested Babaji to build a large
7:27:44gurara to accommodate the needs of the
7:27:47larger suut Babaji obeyed the suut but
7:27:51replied that if it pleases the guru then
7:27:54their wishes would take shape however
7:27:57the suut collected about rupees 3,000
7:27:59for for this cause and gave it to babaii
7:28:02he handed this money to sadar lab Singh
7:28:05for
7:28:05safekeeping another year went by suut

7:28:11again requested babaii to reconsider the
7:28:14need for a gurara Babaji again reassured

7:33:09to the needs of the suut personally with

7:33:14babaii would carry brecks and motar on
7:33:16his head or break up rocks for the
7:33:19concrete with a hammer many a Time the
7:33:22congregation would affectionately asked
7:33:25babaii to stop and leave this service to
7:33:27them babaii would reply this is not my
7:33:30personal job this is the guru's work
7:33:33that I am doing he who toils in the
7:33:35guru's house with devotion will reap
7:33:38Untold benefits if you work selflessly
7:33:42you will earn the benefits and if I do
7:33:44some work I will reap some benefit too
7:33:48moreover this opportunity to do the
7:33:50guru's work SAA does not arise every day
7:33:54after the suut left Baba and I would
7:33:57gather up all the tools equipment and
7:34:00would wash the Spades Etc Baba never
7:34:03appealed for money at religious
7:34:05gatherings neither did he print
7:34:08promotional literature to raise money
7:34:10for the building of the gurara whatever
7:34:13money was required would arrive
7:34:15mystically at the hands of the suut
7:34:17inspired by the great Guru himself if
7:34:20money became scarce babaii would
7:34:23withdraw money from the hidden treasure
7:34:26your humble servant will relate an
7:34:28incident that I witnessed during these
7:34:31early days it was the summer season and
7:34:34I had gone out on an errand I arrived
7:34:37back to see Baba at 400 p.m. Baba sat me
7:34:41beside him served me a sweetened cold
7:34:44drink and said saas Singh you know sadu
7:34:47Singh who has the cement shop he came to
7:34:50me this morning and said he had two
7:34:53truck loads of cement arriving soon he
7:34:56said that instead of buying a little
7:34:58cement at a time it would be cheaper to
7:35:01buy it in bulk he can send one truckload
7:35:04over to us as soon as it arrives I told
7:35:07him that we would let him know by the
7:35:09evening after a short while Baba
7:35:12continued it would be convenient if we
7:35:15could get the cement in bulk as every
7:35:18few days we have to ask for a cart to
7:35:20bring smaller loads of cement this also
7:35:23disrupts the cart owner's work Baba then
7:35:27said young man how much how much money
7:35:30will 200 bags of cement cost at that
7:35:33time bags of cement cost about 625 PES I
7:35:38advised Baba that I had calculated the
7:35:40total amount as rupees
7:35:441250 Baba pulled out a cloth bag from
7:35:47under his mattress and handed me the bag
7:35:50have a look and see how much is in the
7:35:52bag I counted the money and told him
7:35:55there is just over rupees 200 Baba Bab
7:35:59fell silent for a while he then replied
7:36:03go to the large Hut where SRI gurug Gran
7:36:06sahab G is enthroned there is a cloth
7:36:09bag upon the floor with which to wipe
7:36:12our feet before one sits behind the S
7:36:16gurug gr sahab G look in that bag and
7:36:19see if there is any money in it just
7:36:22before I got up to fetch the money Baba
7:36:24GI asked me only bring the exact amount
7:36:28that we need and no more
7:36:30I replied yes sir and went into the Hut
7:36:34I bowed before s gurug Gran sahab G and
7:36:37looked in the bag as
7:36:39directed much to my amazement there was
7:36:42several hundred rupee notes in it so I
7:36:45took rupees 1100 returned to Babaji and
7:36:49told him that there was still a lot of
7:36:51money in the bag Babaji said this is the
7:36:54hidden treasure do not touch it as it is
7:36:58there for when we really need it he then
7:37:01instructed me to go and hand over the
7:37:03money to sadar sadu Singh and ask him to
7:37:07send the truck straight to the
7:37:09Gara as instructed I went to gardial and
7:37:12paid SAR sadu Singh as requested by
7:37:15babaii I came back to babaii and both of
7:37:18us sat together to recite
7:37:21Reas after sukhasan of s guruji he sat
7:37:24upon the bed laid in front of the Hut
7:37:27and meanwhile asked me to bring p sing's
7:37:30book Kar chamatkar that he used to
7:37:33listen to daily I went indoors with a
7:37:35lantern and mused about looking at the
7:37:38bag again with the hidden treasure to
7:37:40see how much more money was in it I
7:37:44knelt by the bag putting the lantern
7:37:46beside me to look but found the bag was
7:37:50empty seeing it empty my mind was filled
7:37:53with remorse thinking that Baba GI
7:37:56specifically asked me not to touch the
7:37:58hidden treasure
7:37:59it was meant for times of need and I had
7:38:02made a mistake anyhow I took the book
7:38:05outside and filled with repentance told
7:38:08Baba that out of curiosity I looked into
7:38:12the bag to see how much money was in it
7:38:15and found that it was empty repenting my
7:38:17mistake I clutched Baba's feet and cried
7:38:21begging for forgiveness babaii
7:38:23affectionately reassured me and said
7:38:26saas Singh do not make this mistake
7:38:29again this is the true guru's hidden
7:38:32treasure when there is Need for money
7:38:35for the suut guruji has instructed me to
7:38:38use this treasure when required I made
7:38:41no distinction between you and me which
7:38:43is why I asked you to fetch the money
7:38:46this time what has happened has passed
7:38:48so no need to repent over it now why
7:38:51don't you read us a story from the life
7:38:54of Guru Goin Singh G telling us how he
7:38:57guided The Mortals of the Dark Age I
7:38:59began to read the book and read three
7:39:02chapters with such deep pleasure as I
7:39:05had never experienced before I continued
7:39:08to read with devotion whilst Baba
7:39:10listened intently until unknown to us it
7:39:15was nearly 11:00 so in this way Whenever
7:39:19there was a shortfall in cash required
7:39:21for the service of the suut Babaji would
7:39:23use the money from the hidden treasure
7:39:26from the day the construction of the
7:39:28gurara started no hindrance in its
7:39:30building work occurred it continued
7:39:34uninterrupted unless Baba specifically
7:39:37asked work to stop a hall about 60x 40
7:39:41was ready with a separate 12x 12 room
7:39:44upstairs in which Siri gurug Gran sahab
7:39:47G was laid to rest at night this was
7:39:50completed within 2 years the main hall
7:39:54that guruji pointed to was the place
7:39:56where ancient Saints used to meditate
7:40:00a 10 ft wide Veranda surrounding the
7:40:03hall was erected soon after to shelter
7:40:06the congregation from rain or sun and to
7:40:09accommodate extra suut on specific
7:40:12occasions soon after the completion of
7:40:15the Gara eight rooms of about 15 by 20
7:40:19to accommodate the suut overnight were
7:40:21built to at the completion of the Gara
7:40:24Baba sent out invitations to the
7:40:27congregation requesting them to attend
7:40:30an aun part held to thank Almighty vuru
7:40:33for his Divine guidance Baba prayed and
7:40:36thanked the Lord that he whose task was
7:40:40has himself accomplished it what can a
7:40:43mere man
7:40:49do sincere and heartfelt thanks were
7:40:52given to Guru by the suut for having
7:40:55overseen the completion of the whole
7:40:57building without any obstacles in the

7:41:25Hereafter this task too can only be
7:41:28accomplished with your guidance O
7:41:31Lord chapter
7:41:3448 only the destined are ordered to
7:41:39serve the construction of the Gara was
7:41:42progressing and with no means of
7:41:44Transport being available the stock of
7:41:46bricks once ran low the building work
7:41:50would have ground to a halt the next day
7:41:52if new supplies were not bought from the
7:41:54brick Factory
7:41:56immediately the Masons and the brick
7:41:58layers would be left standing at the end
7:42:01of the day the Brick Layers warned
7:42:03babaii that the shortage of bricks would
7:42:05bring work to a halt the stock of bricks
7:42:09required replenishing as soon as
7:42:11possible Baba replied to the Mason we
7:42:14will try to get more bricks it is the
7:42:17guru's work that is being carried out so
7:42:19he will inspire someone to do this
7:42:23service as usual Babaji went for his
7:42:26evening walk after the laborers had gone
7:42:28home on this day instead of walking
7:42:31towards thei Village Baba said today we
7:42:35will walk to SAR Baba sing's house if we
7:42:38meet him or his sons on the way to his
7:42:40house we'll ask them to participate in
7:42:43the effort to build the gurudwara by
7:42:45fetching the bricks from the bricklin
7:42:48this way we will accomplish two
7:42:50tasks Baba and a couple of others
7:42:53including myself arrived at Sardar Baba
7:42:56Singh's house while reciting prayers on
7:42:59on the way there sadar Baba Singh g
7:43:01wasn't home however his son DEA Singh
7:43:05was Planting onions in the neighboring
7:43:07field after completing choe sahab babaii
7:43:11walked over and greeted him with
7:43:14gurat he was the second eldest Son of
7:43:17Sardar Babas Singh and ignorant about
7:43:20gurmat he gave priority to worldly
7:43:23duties and would do service of the suut
7:43:26only if he could fit it into his daily
7:43:28schedule
7:43:29he had a rugged Farmer's temperament and
7:43:32responded half-heartedly to Baba's
7:43:35greeting asking him the reason for his
7:43:38visit Baba replied the Singh you know
7:43:42that the construction of the gurara is
7:43:44in progress and the bricks have all but
7:43:46run out if new bricks are not bought by
7:43:50tomorrow then work will come to a
7:43:51standstill and the laborers will sit
7:43:54idle if you can oblige Me by making one
7:43:57trip to fetch the bricks then work can
7:43:59continue uninterrupted and you will be
7:44:02able to carry out a service of the great
7:44:06Guru after listening to babaii De Singh
7:44:09spoke as you can see I am busy Planting
7:44:12onions how can I abandon this job to go
7:44:15and fetch the bricks you know that a
7:44:17farmer never leaves his task unfinished
7:44:21I am able to go tomorrow evening after I
7:44:24have planted these onions and not before
7:44:27Baba said I am also a farmer which is
7:44:30why I am asking you to go today as the
7:44:33onions can be planted tomorrow without
7:44:35any harm to them I would not have asked
7:44:38you to go if it was not for your benefit
7:44:42there Singh heard babaii out but
7:44:44repeated his view that he could only go
7:44:47once his job was completed Baba replied
7:44:50they saying it is your choice you could
7:44:53easily have carried out both tasks of
7:44:56fetching the bricks and planting your
7:44:58onions with without losses saying this
7:45:01Baba Bid Farewell and we returned to the
7:45:04Gara on the way back Babaji told us see
7:45:08how without the correct Destiny a human
7:45:11cannot even carry out SAA if Thea Singh
7:45:14had agreed to this he would have earned
7:45:16great blessings from the almighty and
7:45:19managed to plant his onions he does not
7:45:21know if the onions will Thrive or not
7:45:24but he certainly has lost an opportune
7:45:27moment to do SAA
7:45:29alas it is his Destiny whomever Almighty
7:45:33Lord wishes to Grant service will be
7:45:36inspired to carry it out one can serve
7:45:39only if destined to do so because he who
7:45:43has good Destiny marked on the forehead
7:45:46he alone carries out service of the Lord
7:45:52Jak service of the guru's house is a
7:45:55most valuable commodity obtained by Wu's
7:45:58blessing
7:46:00that person alone is attached to the
7:46:02Lord's service whom the Lord himself
7:46:09blesses babai continu telling us about
7:46:12the virtues of selfless surface of the
7:46:15guru and that we should participate
7:46:17according to one's ability in service of
7:46:20the guru after completing one's daily
7:46:23work we should spend as much time as
7:46:26possible in the service of the guru so
7:46:28that this this body is put to spiritual
7:46:30use as well in this manner we attract
7:46:33the blessings of our Guru and of people
7:46:37we help that are less fortunate than
7:46:39us sometimes the almighty causes
7:46:42situations to arise where one has to
7:46:45leave aside family duties in service of
7:46:48others the fortunate one who takes on
7:46:51such an opportunity of selfless service
7:46:54not only gains the Lord's favor but his
7:46:57worldly affairs suffer no hindrance the
7:47:01great Guru compensates any losses many
7:47:04times over in obtaining the guru's favor
7:47:07many obstacles in one's life are
7:47:11obliterated such service guruji
7:47:14appreciates as gurbani
7:47:18States profitable is that service to
7:47:21carry out which appeases the guru's Mind
7:47:24by appeasing the guru's mind all evil
7:47:26sins and deeds are redeemed
7:47:39listening to these words of Baba we
7:47:41arrived back at the gurua as per our
7:47:45routine we all washed our faces hands
7:47:47and feet sitting together we took turns
7:47:50to recite Ras Siri gurug gr sahab G was
7:47:54laid to rest following which we had
7:47:57lunger and sat down to to listen to the
7:47:59stories from sick history we retired to
7:48:02bed and awoke the next day before Dawn
7:48:05to install sir gurug Gran sahb G When
7:48:08Baba GI explained the edct of the day
7:48:11that is the hookum Nama whilst he was
7:48:14explaining a devotee from gonur arrived
7:48:17with his brand new truck he bowed in
7:48:19front of guruji sat down and listened to
7:48:22the ongoing discourse at the end of the
7:48:25session the person in question asked
7:48:27Baba B B the almighty has blessed me
7:48:31with a new truck and before starting any
7:48:33job I wish to use the truck to partake
7:48:36in some service of the gurara so that my
7:48:39business will be blessed by the guru as

7:48:44on with your permission can I bring a
7:48:47couple of loads of Sands if there is any
7:48:49other service required pray tell me now
7:48:53Baba heard the gentleman's request and
7:48:56bowed in thanks to guruji they came
7:48:59outside where everyone had lunger
7:49:01together Baba addressed the devote we
7:49:04have plenty of sand but if you could
7:49:07bring a couple of loads of bricks we
7:49:09would be most
7:49:10grateful the person in question promptly
7:49:13brought two loads of Bricks by midday
7:49:16before work came to a halt before
7:49:19leaving the devotee petitioned Baba
7:49:22humbly to send for him again if any more
7:49:26loads were to be carried for the
7:49:27construction
7:49:29work Baba thanked God Almighty and said
7:49:32the great Guru has only made the
7:49:35pretense through me all worries for the
7:49:37construction of the gurara he carries on
7:49:40his own shoulders he himself arranges
7:49:43all the Deeds Sardar de Singh had by now
7:49:47planted his onions with the help of his
7:49:49family as is God's will the next day
7:49:52there was a heavy rainfall all water
7:49:55from the nearby Road washed off drained
7:49:58in into the field and pulled around the
7:50:00newly planted onions while some of the
7:50:03onions planted had already been washed
7:50:06away on the first day of the Heavy Rain
7:50:08the remaining onions started to rot in
7:50:10the standing water a few days after this
7:50:14Sardar the Singh repented his folly and
7:50:17came to see Babaji admitting his mistake
7:50:19he confessed Baba I did not listen to
7:50:22your humble request the very onions I
7:50:25was busy planting were either washed
7:50:27away or are rotting if there is any
7:50:30service tell me now Baba replied
7:50:34Whenever there is any service to be
7:50:35carried out the S and you are the ones
7:50:38that will do it we will definitely tell
7:50:40you if such an opportunity arises after
7:50:44sitting a while with Babaji SAR de Singh
7:50:48left one should also learn from this
7:50:51incident it is beneficial to heed the
7:50:53advice of those blessed ones who have
7:50:56sacrificed everything at the feet of the
7:50:58the guru we should listen to their words
7:51:01even if we feel we will lose financially
7:51:04or otherwise by listening to a blessed
7:51:07being and acting upon their words we

7:51:38before the guru and ever be ready to
7:51:41serve him in this way the guru Ward

7:51:48of the whole world
7:52:03furthermore service carried out at the
7:52:05Lord's behest at a time of need far
7:52:09outweighs service done at our whim such
7:52:12service in a time of need is much more
7:52:15valuable and bestowed upon those with
7:52:17Good
7:52:18Fortune nanak when the Lord casts his

7:53:06light chapter
7:53:0949 abandoning Wicked Deeds is the real
7:53:15service a few days later Sardar de Singh
7:53:18visited babai again to ask if there was
7:53:21any SAA to be
7:53:23performed Baba took pity on the Singh
7:53:26and replied the Singh if you heed my
7:53:29advice then all benefits come from
7:53:32carrying out the service there sing
7:53:35thought to himself the bricks have
7:53:37already been delivered at the most I
7:53:39will be asked to carry a load or two of
7:53:42sand or cement whatever service he asked
7:53:45for I will do it with these thoughts in
7:53:49his mind he agreed to Baba's advice and
7:53:51said yes Baba smiled and continued this
7:53:55service has nothing to do with your wet
7:53:58or dry fields but concerns cultivating
7:54:01the inner field of your heart in which
7:54:03you must seow the seed of God's word the
7:54:07inner field is dry and Barren to
7:54:09cultivate it you must stop drinking
7:54:11alcohol and after preparation get ready
7:54:15to be baptized if you accept this Sava
7:54:18then all charitable services will come
7:54:21under this Paramount service their sing
7:54:24was dumbfounded hearing this new and
7:54:27strange request
7:54:29seeing him silent Baba questions you
7:54:31asked for a service be strong now and
7:54:34carry it out the Singh emerged from his
7:54:38silence your eminence this type of
7:54:41service is best suited to you I am a
7:54:44farmer's son drink and juts go hand in
7:54:48hand one is not the son of a jut if he
7:54:51does not drink secondly we people cannot
7:54:54be tied by the Wows of baptism we are
7:54:57used to life of freedom and ease day and
7:55:00night we work in the mud who will be
7:55:03able to look after these kakar the that
7:55:06is the five k symbols worn by Baptist 6
7:55:11Baba replied look here they singing your
7:55:14other four brothers are baptized being
7:55:17your
7:55:18brothers their status as Farmers has not
7:55:21changed they work all day in their
7:55:24fields and still maintain their vows
7:55:26they have never complained that their
7:55:28symbols are a hindrance to their work do
7:55:31not make excuses your benefit is in
7:55:33being baptized moreover if you do not
7:55:36leave alcohol and baptize what benefit
7:55:39do I get none I am only telling you what
7:55:42is best for you secondly you asked for a
7:55:46service and now you are Renning on your
7:55:49word the Singh said I asked for service
7:55:53like bringing a load of bricks or sand
7:55:55not to be baptized Baba replied it is
7:55:58your wish I told you of a service that
7:56:01is far more valuable and worthwhile than
7:56:04the one asked of you before for you to
7:56:07follow my advice or not is your choice
7:56:11there Singh thought I had a few days
7:56:13free in which I could carry a few loads
7:56:16of building material and thus gain the
7:56:18favor of the saint on the contrary Baba
7:56:21has asked me to give up liquor and wear
7:56:24a sword around my neck better make a
7:56:26move before Baba said any more
7:56:29conditions with these thoughts the Singh
7:56:31sought leave of babaii as he was leaving
7:56:34babaii said there singing I have great
7:56:37affection for your family and your
7:56:40father especially which is why I ask the
7:56:43service of you if you had accepted this
7:56:46advice it would have been better for you
7:56:49you could have honored my words and done
7:56:51yourself a great service but take heed
7:56:54if someone does not change for the
7:56:56better at another behest then Nature has
7:57:00its own way of subduing you onto the
7:57:02Noble Path hearing these last words left
7:57:06the Singh feeling somewhat ashamed and
7:57:09so he quickly took his
7:57:12leave chapter
7:57:1450 Life Changes in this way
7:57:19too time went by and there Singh carried
7:57:22on with his Wayward lifestyle Sardar
7:57:25Baba Singh his father was Fed Up and
7:57:28tried many times to talk some sense into
7:57:31his son but to no
7:57:34avail 6 to 7 months later at the
7:57:36festival of the shahra a festival
7:57:39commemorating Lord Rama defeating ravan
7:57:43there sing dawned his best clothes tied
7:57:46his best turban and tanked up with
7:57:49alcohol made his way to nearby
7:57:52Gala as is the nature of alcohol it
7:57:55removes all inhibtion from the drunk and
7:57:58is unable to distinguish between good or
7:58:01bad friend or
7:58:02foe in a drunken stuper one feels all
7:58:06powerful and aggressive so the Singh
7:58:09started to pick up a fight by abusing
7:58:12passerbys he was of strong and stout
7:58:15build and started to swear at others as
7:58:18well in the meantime a few policemen
7:58:22arrived on the scene and tried to stop
7:58:24their Singh from misbehaving but to no
7:58:27avail in his stuper the Singh felt even
7:58:31an elephant was no bigger than an ant he
7:58:34turned on the policeman swearing at them
7:58:37and a fight
7:58:38ensued the four or five policeman
7:58:41removed his loin cloth tied his legs and
7:58:44removed his turban they went on to beat
7:58:47him badly before tying his hands
7:58:50arresting him and taking him to the
7:58:52local police station there they thrashed
7:58:54him before locking him up there regained
7:58:58Consciousness and thought I had come to
7:59:01visit the Thea Festival but looks like I
7:59:05am in another Ram Leela no turban on my
7:59:09head or no loin cloth no money in my
7:59:12pocket and a body which is bruised and
7:59:14aching all over in this strange State He
7:59:18was inwardly cursing himself no one
7:59:21offered him water and evening was
7:59:23closing in the constables were all
7:59:26leaving for their home and their sing
7:59:27with waited in hope that someone from
7:59:30the village would soon come to have him
7:59:32released theas Singh thought that his
7:59:35friends would go home tell his family
7:59:37what had happened and in no time someone
7:59:40would arrive to set him free in fact
7:59:43when his friends told Sardar Babas Singh
7:59:46what had happened he absolutely refused
7:59:49to set foot in a police station to have
7:59:51his son released what will I say when
7:59:54they ask me if this is your son replied
7:59:57sadar B Singh a few of the villagers
8:00:00petitioned him to go and bail his son
8:00:02out but being a principled man he
8:00:05refused saying you can bail him out but
8:00:08I will not go to a drunkard even if he
8:00:10is my son hearing these steadyfast words
8:00:13a few reputed Village Elders went to the
8:00:16station officer they told the officer
8:00:19about sadar Babas sing's refusal to bail
8:00:22out his wward son the villagers gave
8:00:25reassurances to the officer that their
8:00:28thing would not cause any harm or
8:00:30disturbance the police officer listened
8:00:33carefully he was an intelligent person
8:00:36and understood the father's honesty and
8:00:39farsightedness he agreed to set the
8:00:41Singh free as his father was a principle
8:00:44man and on the condition that their
8:00:46Singh would stop drinking so these
8:00:49Elders asked their Singh if he would
8:00:52give up drinking and he replied I will
8:00:55not drink this evil liquor which has
8:00:57caused me to lose facei in society and
8:01:00had me beaten up from today onwards I
8:01:03wow never to drink again he recalled
8:01:06Baba's faithful words that if one does
8:01:09not reform at someone's behest Nature
8:01:12has its own way of reforming you onto
8:01:15the Noble Path I did not understand the
8:01:18gravity of his words then but now Nature
8:01:21has conspired to turn me onto the right
8:01:24path under compulsion the elders managed
8:01:27to secure the sing's release bought him
8:01:29home with a scarf on his head and his
8:01:31underwear because the police had
8:01:34misappropriated all his belongings when
8:01:37asked the police said they had found him
8:01:39in this condition when they bought him
8:01:41to the police station after a few days
8:01:44of recovery de Singh came to say babaii
8:01:48he bowed in greeting to babaii and said
8:01:50I did not listen to your prophetic words
8:01:53making excuses to avoid honoring your
8:01:56words I have seen the error of my ways
8:01:59and wish to give up drink which has cost
8:02:02me dearly my name has been suid in the
8:02:05public and even my father does not talk
8:02:07to me I promise you not to touch it
8:02:11again and I'm ready when you are to get
8:02:13me baptized Baba reassured their sing

8:03:00Singh was baptized he maintained his
8:03:02vows and led a Pious disciplined life he
8:03:06would recite mul manra constantly even
8:03:09when working before starting his work he
8:03:12would first visit the gurara and bow to
8:03:15S gurug Gran sahb G repentance at
8:03:18departing
8:03:19gurules as the sing recited mul Mantra
8:03:23and gur Mantra his spiritual wealth
8:03:26increased in 19 93 his youngest brother
8:03:30sadar CH Singh who was a soldier in the
8:03:33BSF based in Kashmir passed away in the
8:03:36line of duty his body was bought to the
8:03:39village for
8:03:41cremation after The Cremation I went
8:03:44with a few companions to pay my
8:03:46condolences after a few mournful words
8:03:49sadar de Singh changed the subject and
8:03:52said as man comes to this world he
8:03:55surely has to leave to many have left
8:03:58this world before my very eyes I have no
8:04:01regrets that my brother has left this
8:04:03aboard because one only lives as long as
8:04:06the good Lord has ordained I do regret
8:04:09that my brother passed away without
8:04:11having accepted the guru many a time I
8:04:15have stressed to him the importance of
8:04:17being baptized and coming into the fold
8:04:19of the true Guru I told him that even
8:04:22though you are younger than me there is
8:04:25no guarantee how long one has to live so
8:04:29do not delay a moment in accepting your
8:04:31Guru he made many an excuse and now has
8:04:35missed his chance with what face can I
8:04:38ask Almighty to bless my brother and
8:04:40forgive him because he has no guru who
8:04:43will shelter him now I feel awful for my
8:04:47brother because he departed without
8:04:49accepting amrith who will vouch face his
8:04:52soul
8:04:53now chapter
8:04:5651 one must be the consequences of our
8:04:59good or bad
8:05:02Deeds P Singh told us about one of his
8:05:06visits to babai a few devotees were sat
8:05:09with babai discussing various topic as
8:05:13the almighty had guided babai to
8:05:15dispense Divine knowledge he was telling
8:05:18the gathered devotees one must avoid
8:05:21indulging in immoral Deeds as gurbani
8:05:24advises us to avoid certain immoral
8:05:26actions one must act upon what gurbani
8:05:29tells us we should follow the righteous
8:05:32actions which gurbani enjoins us to
8:05:35accept gurbani gives us lessons to
8:05:37follow every day this is why the great
8:05:41Guru ordered his six to read seven
8:05:43prayers daily as a matter of routine
8:05:46from gbani we obtained Noble direction
8:05:49for our
8:05:51actions as babaii kept stressing the
8:05:53recitation of gurani repeatedly P theas
8:05:56Singh could not not restrain his
8:05:58question any longer he said you enjoin
8:06:02the suut repeatedly to read gurbani but
8:06:05are all the people who do this any
8:06:07better off some are dragging themselves
8:06:10on the ground some cannot even walk
8:06:13While others are surrounded by all
8:06:15manner of Troubles by the Singh told us
8:06:19saying these words I had stirred up a
8:06:22storm in a teacup the other devotees
8:06:25started to stare at me thinking that the
8:06:27farmer had created a hot topic for
8:06:30discussion seeing their Keen faces I
8:06:33became ready to further my point of view
8:06:36to Baba as
8:06:38well babaii replied patiently there
8:06:42singj if a person who reads gurbani has
8:06:45any physical aiment then it is a
8:06:48consequence of his past
8:06:50actions impute not blame on anyone the
8:06:54fault is of your own Deeds what whatever
8:06:58I did for that I have suffered I blame
8:07:01no one
8:07:12else find no fault with others oh man
8:07:16what you sow that alone you reap by your
8:07:18Deeds you have bound yourself involved
8:07:21in worldly Affairs Thou shalt continue
8:07:24coming and going those
8:07:30[Music]
8:07:35ja
8:07:37May the blame does not lie with gurbani
8:07:40by reading gbani the debt of bad Deeds
8:07:44decreases a believer of gurbani accepts
8:07:47physical ailment as repayment for any
8:07:50past transgressions and follows it as is
8:07:53the will of God by accepting this a gur
8:07:57passes their time in contentment and in
8:08:00remembrance of God I persisted in my
8:08:03question again and said Baba GI if a
8:08:06person is baptized and reads gbani as
8:08:09you guide and then sings hymns daily
8:08:13tell me for what sin are the suffering
8:08:15that caus them to lose their ability to
8:08:18walk Baba asked by there Singh pray tell
8:08:22who are you talking about I replied I am
8:08:26talking about s Singh Usman Shahed who
8:08:29was baptized at your hands reads gurbani
8:08:33and sings Kian too Babaji fell silent
8:08:36for a while and then replied there sing
8:08:40one should not lift the whale of
8:08:42anyone's past we are all paying for our
8:08:45past Deeds there is no margin for doubt
8:08:48or room for questioning this is the
8:08:51Eternal truth we reap what we sow you
8:08:55are blaming gurbani without due C can
8:08:58you see his past and be sure that he is
8:09:01not paying for some past transgression
8:09:04in his life I replied I cannot but you
8:09:07can tell us what past Deeds he committed
8:09:10that caused the loss of his legs in this
8:09:13life Baba replied there was no need to
8:09:17discuss his past actions but I am
8:09:19compelled now because these other
8:09:22devotees who have a little faith in
8:09:24gurbani will become agnostic if your
8:09:27question is not answered
8:09:30satisfactorily if you were alone then
8:09:32there would have been no need to discuss
8:09:34this any further Baba's face glowed with
8:09:38Zeal and he said now listen there Singh
8:09:42sok Singh is indeed repaying for his
8:09:45actions from past life in his last life
8:09:48he was a human being he was God-fearing
8:09:51but was of an angry temperament one day
8:09:54he arrived home after A Hard Day's Work
8:09:57he had a wash and sat down to eat his
8:10:00food served by his
8:10:02family he had only taken a few bites
8:10:05when he walked over to the kitchen to
8:10:07get
8:10:08something his pet dog saw no one
8:10:11attending the plate and as is a dog's
8:10:14habit started to eat the food on it when
8:10:17sosing arrived back with what he needed
8:10:20he saw the dog happily eating his food
8:10:24seeing this he became so enraged that he
8:10:27swung a stick hard at the unsuspecting
8:10:30dog which broke his hip the dog lay
8:10:33crying in pain for a long while now he
8:10:37was full of remorse but the fit of anger
8:10:39has caused him to overreact the dog
8:10:42survived but due to a broken hip dragged
8:10:45his legs around for the remainder of his
8:10:48life it walked on its front legs only
8:10:52now if he had taken a while to check his
8:10:54anger and introspected then he would
8:10:57have have realized that first the food
8:10:59is gone and spoiled it was destined for
8:11:02the dog's consumption secondly being
8:11:05angry and hitting the dog will not bring
8:11:08the food back a little time to
8:11:10introspect would have saved him from
8:11:13committing such an act in committing
8:11:15this action he did not think at all and
8:11:18was led by anger now if he has to pay
8:11:22for his actions in this life people like
8:11:24you raise questions about past action
8:11:27actions even though sok Singh cannot
8:11:30walk reading gurbani and the blessings
8:11:32of the almighty means he copes very well
8:11:36with his disability he is passing his
8:11:38days with fortitude and
8:11:40contentment this state of being is the
8:11:43Boon of gbani if he was not attached to
8:11:46gurbani then he would have spent his
8:11:49time complaining about his condition and
8:11:51directing resentment at God almighty
8:11:55this is why Guru Arjun D said says delay
8:11:58not in practicing righteousness delay
8:12:01thou only in committing
8:12:06sins it is better to delay committing a
8:12:09sin think over the consequences of a
8:12:12sinful action before we commit it
8:12:16sometimes merely delaying the action
8:12:19deters the act of Sin from being
8:12:21committed there Singh told us that as
8:12:23babai was narrating this tale everyone's
8:12:26hair stood on end and no one dared to
8:12:29raise a question a stream of thought
8:12:32arose within us compelling us to avoid
8:12:35committing any immoral acts we were all
8:12:38sat there like statues and Baba
8:12:41elaborated with more examples from
8:12:44gurbani in order to dispel the last
8:12:46vestages of Doubt from our mind I do not
8:12:50know much gurbani but he recited a line
8:12:53from jaji sahab what one SWS so shall he
8:12:56reap
8:13:00as one SW so shall he reap such is the
8:13:03field of
8:13:08actions guruji tells us that in this
8:13:11world whatever actions we take good or
8:13:14bad result in US receiving a reward or
8:13:18punishment this body that wuru has
8:13:21bestowed upon us is received due to our
8:13:24past actions some have good Stout bodies
8:13:28others ugly and deformed ones some are
8:13:31born with disabilities and some without
8:13:35intelligence all this is a direct result
8:13:38of our past actions gurun nanak d g says
8:13:42Mortals obtain a human body as a result
8:13:45of Good Deeds but he reaches the Gate of
8:13:48Salvation with God's kind
8:13:54Grace So due to past actions or Karma we
8:13:58are blessed with a body and due to God's
8:14:00grace we obtain salvation through this
8:14:03vessel if there is still some doubt
8:14:06regarding past actions then listen to
8:14:08what Pagan G says why do you slander the
8:14:13Lord oh airing and ignorant woman your
8:14:16pain and Pleasures are according to your
8:14:19acts on the doorstep of the
8:14:22Almighty nasari
8:14:30and one is to bear the consequences of
8:14:33one's good or bad
8:14:39deeds and as are the Deeds we commit so
8:14:42is the fruit which we
8:14:49obtain so one has to Bear the fruit of
8:14:52what we sow in our actions because the
8:14:55body is the field of actions in this age
8:14:58whatever one SWS that he
8:15:04reaps
8:15:06soat God has given humans the freedom to
8:15:09commit any action but is bound by the
8:15:12fruit of these actions so before acting
8:15:15always ponder over the fruit weigh up
8:15:18the costs and benefits of your Deeds
8:15:21this eternal truth is illuminated in
8:15:24gurbani the recitation of gbani
8:15:27lessens the effects of past actions
8:15:30there is not even an iata of Doubt or
8:15:33ambiguity in that as guruji says
8:15:37Dreadful diseases sins of various
8:15:39murders the pener of many births and
8:15:43immense miseries are all destroyed by
8:15:47contemplating the lord's name says nanak
8:15:50just as the fire reduces to ashes the
8:15:53piles of
8:15:55wood duk

8:16:07Castro chapter
8:16:1052 leaving Idol thoughts is
8:16:15beneficial Sardar Hari Singh son of dear
8:16:18Singh of Village gonur was serving in
8:16:21the Indian Air Force in July 1975 he
8:16:24came to visit the family whilst on leave
8:16:28as is the order of our great Guru a sick
8:16:31must donate 1/10th of his income to the
8:16:34needy poor or service of the guru this
8:16:37is called the
8:16:38dwand as he had some money he thought
8:16:41why not donate this money to the Gara
8:16:44being built At rampur Kira his Fields
8:16:47were near the Gara and whilst roaming
8:16:49his Fields he came to the Gara with the
8:16:52money he met by Amar Singh and asked if
8:16:55he could meet Baba person personally by
8:16:58amers Singh replied that Baba had
8:17:00retired to his room for meditation and
8:17:03would not come out till the afternoon
8:17:05haris Singh was disappointed to hear the
8:17:07news he was in two minds because he
8:17:11wanted to leave before midday to return
8:17:13to his duty and still had a few people
8:17:16he wanted to meet his mind was wavering
8:17:20and though he had wished to see babaii
8:17:22personally to give him the dwand har
8:17:25Singh was unsure if he could wait so
8:17:28long he was thinking of all the people
8:17:30he had yet to meet and preparations to
8:17:33make for his return journey in his
8:17:36emotional turmoil SAR haris Singh asked
8:17:39P Amar Singh to knock on Baba G's door
8:17:42so that he could meet him
8:17:44briefly by ammer Singh replied no matter
8:17:47how important the job is I have been
8:17:50instructed not to disturb his daily
8:17:52routine of meditation and neither does
8:17:55he come out until he has completed it so
8:17:58it would be better if you had some
8:18:00lunger and waited a couple of hours or
8:18:03returned later in the day sadar har
8:18:06Singh wished gur fat outside Baba's room
8:18:09and went out towards the fields where P
8:18:12sujit Singh was plowing the fields he
8:18:15told him of his desire to see babaii but
8:18:17could not wait that long as he had only
8:18:20one day left for his leave P sujit Singh
8:18:24said we cannot interrupt Baba's
8:18:26meditation
8:18:27he may be deeply meditating we should
8:18:29not disturb him as it disrupts his
8:18:32meditation hearing this sadar haris
8:18:35Singh was in a quandry to stay or not he
8:18:38started back towards the gurara on the
8:18:42one hand he thought that babaii knows
8:18:44and understands my position I hope he
8:18:47opens the door so that I can see him and
8:18:49give him the money with these thoughts
8:18:52he came and sat in The Veranda around
8:18:54the gwara suddenly the door door opened
8:18:58Baba came out of the heart and looked
8:19:01around for a few moments sadar haris
8:19:04Singh rushed to babaii and said g fat
8:19:07and handed him the money for this one
8:19:09Baba took the money and stood in the
8:19:12same place to perform AAS to the
8:19:15almighty he then took haris Singh into
8:19:17the Hut and said look haris Singh G we
8:19:21were blessed and in deep state of
8:19:23meditation but since you arrived with
8:19:25thoughts of hand in this one personally
8:19:28to me your worries about going back home
8:19:31in a hurry created vibrations that
8:19:33interfered with my
8:19:35meditation even by trying hard to
8:19:37concentrate I was unable to attach
8:19:40myself to a deep state of connection
8:19:43because your worried State of Mind was
8:19:46disrupting my mind as a result I had to
8:19:49stop meditation and open the door if we
8:19:52just think a little that the money for
8:19:54This one belongs to the guru and if you
8:19:57consider guruji to be all knowing you
8:20:00could have put the money in the golok in
8:20:02front of Sir gurug Gran sahib G the
8:20:05great Guru would have accepted your the
8:20:07swand as he knows all our deepest
8:20:10desires and longings the money in the
8:20:12goak belongs to the guru so you could
8:20:15have given it directly to Almighty and
8:20:18avoided all the mental anguish and
8:20:21uncertainty as a result your anguish
8:20:24would have been dispelled and my
8:20:25meditation would would not have been
8:20:27Disturbed either moreover your desire to
8:20:30see me personally should be superseded
8:20:33by your desire to meet s Guru gr sahb G
8:20:37if one gets an opportunity to meet a gik
8:20:40then consider it our Good Fortune as the
8:20:43kala is my particular image I reside
8:20:46among the pure
8:20:52kala so if we had a glimpse of the guru
8:20:55we have had a glimpse of the kalsa
8:20:58further if you visit the guru's house
8:21:00abandon thoughts of haste and worry
8:21:03because Bliss and haste do not go
8:21:06together where there is worry anguish
8:21:08and haste there can never be Bliss
8:21:11whatever time we are blessed in the
8:21:13company of satguru ji we should abandon
8:21:16our thoughts worldly work leaving behind
8:21:19all worries and mental
8:21:21turmoil in this manner greater benefit
8:21:23is obtained when we visit guruji
8:21:27lastly one should not test another's
8:21:30spiritual and telepathic abilities
8:21:32thinking that if he is all knowing he
8:21:35will answer the door Etc this is not a
8:21:38noble thought if God chooses to bless a
8:21:41person with telepathic ability or not it
8:21:44is not a measure of their spiritual
8:21:46achievement these are all gifts bestowed
8:21:48by guruji the duty of a gurk is to
8:21:51meditate devoutly on the n and leave the
8:21:54guru to bless us with these
8:21:57abilities as he Wills haris singj what
8:22:01has happened has happened I have been
8:22:03given the audience of a good sick like
8:22:05you in future be mindful of these minor
8:22:10points though these appear to be
8:22:12insignificant points they carry great
8:22:15significance spiritually by haris Singh
8:22:18G honored Baba's words by taking them to
8:22:21heart and asked for
8:22:23forgiveness chapter 53
8:22:26we reap what we sow such as the field of
8:22:32action Babaji had a devotee who lived
8:22:35near jalander he was god-loving and
8:22:38religiously minded but was nonetheless
8:22:41easily misled by materialistic thoughts
8:22:44that person arranged his daughter's
8:22:46marriage to a rich but materialistic
8:22:49family the day for the wedding was fixed
8:22:52the gift and the diary to be exchanged
8:22:55had been agreed finally the menu of the
8:22:57lunch was discussed the groom's family
8:23:00insisted on having liquor and meat at
8:23:02the wedding lunch this devotee of babaii
8:23:06raised some opposition to this demand
8:23:08but hesitated thinking that if he was to
8:23:11flatly deny this demand the groom's
8:23:14family may break off the
8:23:16engagement influenced by his soon Tobe
8:23:19relatives he agreed to serve meat and
8:23:22liquor at lunch the wedding Drew closer
8:23:26the the family came to deliver an
8:23:27invitation to babai and requested babaii
8:23:30to attend the wedding ceremony and bless
8:23:33the couple babaii asked them where they
8:23:36had arranged their daughter's marriage
8:23:38he told babaii about the family where
8:23:40his daughter was to be married and let
8:23:42slip that meat and liquor would be
8:23:45served because the groom's family
8:23:47insisted upon it Baba listened patiently
8:23:51to the devotees admission and sighed
8:23:53deeply he said oh my good man to stif
8:23:58your own conscious under the influence
8:24:00of your relatives showing your back to
8:24:03the guru's principles and doing that
8:24:05which is immoral reflects badly upon you
8:24:09in doing so what do we hope to gain in
8:24:12attracting the guru's
8:24:14displeasure our wise ancestors
8:24:17considered marrying our daughters of as
8:24:19a great and piased act of Charity on one
8:24:23hand you are to perform a Pious Act and
8:24:26on the other many innocent animals are
8:24:29to be slaughtered for the transient
8:24:31pleasure of our taste buds says bagat
8:24:34Kabir G Kabir to use force is trinal and
8:24:40the Lord shall call you to account when
8:24:43the account is produced from the Lord's
8:24:45office Thou shalt suffer Strokes on thy
8:24:49face and mouth
8:25:01D after the wedding your daughter will
8:25:03go to her new home but who will shoulder
8:25:06the sin of slaughtering so many animals
8:25:09remember you will have to carry this
8:25:11burden of sin and repay the debt in this
8:25:15life and the next if your daughter is
8:25:17destined to be married into that
8:25:19household then she will marry into that
8:25:21family without any doubt by offering
8:25:24meat and liquor is not going to cement
8:25:26her relations with that family any more
8:25:29strongly than they are already destined
8:25:31to neither will her marriage to the
8:25:34family deteriorate if you do not offer
8:25:37meat and drink if you as a baptized sick
8:25:40falter in your vows like this then what
8:25:43hope is there for the rest of the people
8:25:46a gik should not abandon one's vows or
8:25:49principles he who abandons his
8:25:51principles is pushed around in this
8:25:53world and pushed out of the Lord's
8:25:56aboard in the Hereafter if as a gik you
8:26:00behave in such a way with what face can
8:26:03you or I tell others to abandon liquor
8:26:06or meat only the one who practices moral
8:26:09principles can preach to others he who
8:26:12does not practice what he
8:26:14preaches and is thus a hypocrite is not
8:26:18accepted in the guru's
8:26:20house there is still time to rethink
8:26:23your decision and change your mind
8:26:25remember remember the guru's words they
8:26:28who have one thing in their heart and
8:26:30another on their face are accounted as
8:26:39false the devote listened despondently
8:26:42and with a sense of shame but still
8:26:45asked Baba to attend the wedding Baba
8:26:48replied that a wedding where so many
8:26:50animals were to be killed for pleasure
8:26:52of the pallet and where the guru's
8:26:54principles were abandoned in favor of
8:26:57public approval would be difficult to
8:27:00attend that devotee sat a while and then
8:27:03left for his the wedding party
8:27:05arrived on the appointed day on one side
8:27:08the wedding was being conducted in the
8:27:10presence of Sir gurug Gran sahib G and
8:27:13on the other a short distance away Lambs
8:27:16were awaiting their death in order to
8:27:18provide pleasure for the guests ballots
8:27:22this surreal program of Joy mixed with
8:27:24sorrow finished at noon the guest drank
8:27:28and ate returning to their homes in a
8:27:30drunken stuper next the bride's relative
8:27:33had their turn to finish off the
8:27:36remaining alcohol and meat with drunken
8:27:39people falling all over the place it was
8:27:42amusing in that no one needed a bed for
8:27:45the night to sleep in anyhow the girl
8:27:48went to her in-laws and a few days later
8:27:52sarji was on his way into jalanda riding
8:27:55his scooter when when he had an accident
8:27:57and broke his hip ring in pain Sagi was
8:28:01transported by car to a local hospital
8:28:04the doctor there could not treat him and
8:28:06advise that he be taken to a bigger
8:28:08hospital with an experienced surgeon he
8:28:12required major surgery which involved
8:28:14replacing his hip with a steel
8:28:16prosthetic
8:28:17implant the family members asked the
8:28:20doctor to relieve his pain until he
8:28:23could be taken to another hospital the
8:28:26doctors attached a weight to sagi's foot
8:28:28and laid him to rest five or six days
8:28:33was spent crying in with excruciating
8:28:35pain only he knew how painful the
8:28:38fracture was but any visitors who came
8:28:41heard his blood curdling cries of pain
8:28:44contrary to the advice of the doctors
8:28:46the family bought sarji home and asked a
8:28:49local quack to fix his fractured hip
8:28:52instead of taking him to The Specialist
8:28:55Hospital
8:28:56for 3 months he was unable to move and
8:28:59being bedridden had to relieve himself
8:29:02whilst on the bed he was utterly
8:29:04dependent on other people for Help by
8:29:07the fourth month he was well enough to
8:29:09sit on his bed whoever visited him
8:29:12during these days would be told by
8:29:14sardarji that he had been punished for
8:29:17killing those speechless
8:29:19animals to appease my daughter's in-laws
8:29:22I ordered the killing of these animals
8:29:24and in return I have been punish and
8:29:26must endure this extreme suffering and
8:29:29pain in the early days of his recovery
8:29:32he had sent word to babaii to come and
8:29:35visit him he sent a message apologizing
8:29:38to babai for not listening to his advice
8:29:41as is the gentle forgiving nature of
8:29:43saints Baba decided to visit sardarji
8:29:47Babaji sacked me beside him in the car
8:29:51as soon as we arrived the devote started
8:29:53crying inconsolably repenting his
8:29:56mistake and begged forgiveness he
8:29:59confessed I abandoned my guru's
8:30:02principles under the influence of my
8:30:04newfound relatives please forgive me
8:30:08baba baba replied Sardar G you are
8:30:11mistaken to ask for my forgiveness it is
8:30:14the almighty who forgives pray for his
8:30:17forgiveness and repent your mistake in
8:30:20front of him alone I only petion you to
8:30:23take a particular action which you
8:30:25ignore
8:30:27are those people now sharing your pain
8:30:29for whose sake you earned and took upon
8:30:31such a sin they made Mary ate and drank
8:30:35then vanished off to their homes you
8:30:38however must carry the burden of sin
8:30:41they came only to inquire about your
8:30:43health once or twice the pain you're
8:30:46suffering is but a partial payment for
8:30:48your sin there is more yet to repay
8:30:51because gurbani says in this age what
8:30:54one does with this hand and receives the
8:30:57same with another
8:30:59hand receives the same with the other
8:31:02hand none is apprehended in place of
8:31:10another whatever Deeds you have
8:31:12performed or are carrying out at your
8:31:16command you alone will have to answer
8:31:18for them no one else can repay your debt
8:31:21or suffering for your sins the Lord is
8:31:24beneficient and forgiving in front of
8:31:27his grace these sins are washed away
8:31:29like straw in a flood of Water by V
8:31:32singj has mentioned a beautiful anecdote
8:31:35in his poem necklace of
8:31:37waves that time which has lapsed cannot
8:31:40be recalled the present time cannot be
8:31:44utilized by repenting our sinful deeds
8:31:46in remorse try to ask our friend the
8:31:49almighty vuru to forgive our trespass in
8:31:53future try to avoid making mistakes by
8:31:56acting upon the guru's
8:31:58advice for nearly a year sarji was left
8:32:01bedridden and even today he limps on one
8:32:04leg when walking to this day sji guides
8:32:08people by giving them the benefit of
8:32:10learning from his experience telling
8:32:12them of his traumatic experience we must
8:32:16forever be vigilant in our lives because
8:32:19situations can arise when we stif our
8:32:21moral intellect ignoring the guidance of
8:32:24gbani and do doing something sinful in
8:32:28so doing we suffer Agony in this life
8:32:31pain in the Hereafter and endure
8:32:33separation from our Lord vuru great
8:32:36guruji has alerted us to stay vigilant
8:32:39from the Deeds that are immoral do not
8:32:42commit such a deed for which you may
8:32:44have to repent in the
8:32:45[Music]
8:32:50end so Guru amashi tells us not to
8:32:54commit any act that that one will repent
8:32:56later because we will reap whatever we
8:33:00sow in this world and the next man
8:33:03himself himself obtains the fruit of the
8:33:05bad and Good Deeds one May issue one's
8:33:09heart's desired commands here but he
8:33:11shall proceed by the narrower Road
8:33:18[Music]
8:33:24Hereafter and as are the Deeds we do so
8:33:27is the fruit that we
8:33:29[Music]
8:33:33obtain everyone has to reap the fruit of
8:33:36his own actions and adjust his
8:33:38[Music]
8:33:43account just as a farmer SWS seed in his
8:33:46field he can expect a harvest whatever
8:33:49he has sown it is a fallacy that man SWS
8:33:53one type of fruit and expects to harvest
8:33:55vest something else for the farmer
8:33:59plants a thorny tree and desires The
8:34:01Grapes of bour he goes about spinning
8:34:04wool but he wishes to wear
8:34:10silk
8:34:18kii gives us a beautiful example as a
8:34:21farmer wishes to harvest the finest
8:34:24grapes but in fact plants the seeds for
8:34:27anaia tree it can never come to pass
8:34:30that the farmer will harvest grapes in
8:34:32fact he will get bitter pods and Thorns
8:34:35from the Quia tree similarly one cannot
8:34:38expect to get silk by weaving with wool
8:34:41according to b guras g as she has
8:34:45planted so does she Harvest such is the
8:34:47field of
8:34:54karma so one actions will determine what
8:34:57we earn Guru nanak d g tells us clearly
8:35:01that as you sow so shall you
8:35:06reap before taking any action any
8:35:09thought or any word spoken we should
8:35:12verify that it agrees with the righteous
8:35:14path laid by our Guru if it fits with
8:35:17the path illuminated by gurbani then it
8:35:20is worthwhile proceeding with this
8:35:23action leading a life according
8:35:25according to the addicts of the gurbani
8:35:27is blissful he alone is the true
8:35:30disciple friend Kingsman brother who
8:35:34walks in guru's Will He Who Walks
8:35:37according to his own Will O Brother is
8:35:40separated from the Lord and bears blows

8:38:11up aided by others Baba said so you've
8:38:15come to stay with me my good man Babaji
8:38:19fed him lunger and gave him something to
8:38:22drink when sadu Singh had eaten about 8
8:38:25chapatis and attendant by Amar Singh who
8:38:29served ler as babai GI this
8:38:31self-absorbed person goes on eating and
8:38:35eating he keeps on wolfing down all that
8:38:38I serve him I am worried that he may
8:38:40fall ill Babaji smiled it doesn't matter
8:38:44keep feeding him if he wants more if his
8:38:48hunger cannot be satisfied in the guru's
8:38:50house where else can his hunger be
8:38:53satiated this time make sure he gets to
8:38:56eat his fill whatever happens later
8:38:58we'll see to it P sadu Singh ate another
8:39:02four or five chapaties finally raising
8:39:05his hand in appreciation and was very
8:39:08pleased he sat a little while longer and
8:39:11left for her
8:39:12Village every day when babaii would
8:39:15recite his Suk sahab after nthn name he
8:39:18would send a sing to fetch sadu Singh
8:39:21babaii would seat sadu Singh beside
8:39:24himself while babaii read the prayers
8:39:27sadu Singh would remain seated the whole
8:39:29time whether he heard the prayers or not
8:39:32after a few days babaii gave him a
8:39:34rosary of his own and showed him how to
8:39:37count it he then turned to sadu and said
8:39:40aloud in his
8:39:42ear keep saying wuru wuru all the
8:39:46while babaii showed sadu Singh how to
8:39:49progress one bead after another when he
8:39:52said vuru Baba then asked do you
8:39:56understand what I told you he then said
8:39:59well okay now show me how you are going
8:40:02to say
8:40:03vahu p sadu progressed through the whole
8:40:07Rosary saying Wu vardu because he was
8:40:11deliberated in
8:40:13speech babaii was very pleased to hear
8:40:16sadu sing's Wu Wu effort at simron and
8:40:20again said in his ear go on repeating vu
8:40:24all day on your
8:40:25Rosary relaxing a bit babaii said now
8:40:30the matter is resolved in a few months
8:40:33by sadu Singh's appetite was stable and
8:40:36he started to walk unaided on his own
8:40:39his deafness improved his speech was
8:40:41becoming clearer and more
8:40:44recognizable his pronunciation of vardu
8:40:47now sounded closer to vuru only with a
8:40:51little lisp in it whenever he got time
8:40:54he would either start sweeping the
8:40:56floors or start weeding the fields with
8:40:58a hoe such was the grace of the guru
8:41:01that in about 6 months he was strong as
8:41:04any other man and was able to dig with a
8:41:07spade he would even repair any beds or
8:41:11CS in the
8:41:12Gara whilst working he would continue to
8:41:15recite vuru wuru he would hear no gossip
8:41:20through his ears he carried on with
8:41:22selfless service with his hands and
8:41:25constantly repeated Wu with his tongue
8:41:29so incrossed did he become in his siman
8:41:31and SAA that after his morning meal he
8:41:34would pick up his Spade hoe and shears
8:41:37and continuously tend the fields
8:41:39surrounding the
8:41:41gurara if he got hungry he would come to
8:41:44eat otherwise he would carry on working
8:41:46whilst continuously reciting the wuru
8:41:50gurumant he would sit morning and
8:41:54evening when n name was recited whether
8:41:56he could hear it or not in the second
8:41:59year babaii saw the service sadhu Singh
8:42:03had been carrying out and was pleased
8:42:05with his progress as a result he
8:42:07arranged for punch Bas to baptize sadu
8:42:10who has soon become sadu Singh sadu
8:42:14Singh who was without Refuge after
8:42:16taking the shelter of the guru obtained
8:42:18the Dual Bounty of SE simron thus
8:42:22becoming independent so much so he was
8:42:25now a positive help to others through
8:42:27his Endeavors of selfless service he
8:42:30would tend to and plant vegetables that
8:42:33would be regularly used in the lunger in
8:42:36fact he would make sure the seasonal
8:42:38vegetables were constantly available for
8:42:40lunger furthermore his constant
8:42:43recitation of Wu after his baptism was
8:42:46so profound that even when he was deep
8:42:49in sleep his voice could be heard saying
8:42:52vuru wuru
8:42:55many a time we quietly Stood Beside his
8:42:58bed and listened to his Simon whilst he
8:43:00was asleep for up to 15 to 20 minutes he
8:43:04would retire to bed with a rosary and
8:43:07whilst chanting VRU would fall asleep
8:43:10but he would continue to recite wuru as
8:43:13he slept we all reported this habit of
8:43:16chanting in his sleep to babaii who also
8:43:18witnessed sadu Singh repeating Wu in his
8:43:22sleep then babaii turned to us and said
8:43:25this is the fruit of truly devotionally
8:43:28and selflessly attaching oneself to the
8:43:31Lord's feet this is because he does his
8:43:34Simon all day while performing SAA
8:43:36without taking any rewards in return
8:43:39morning and evening he tries to listen
8:43:41to nthn name he neither listens to
8:43:44gossip through his ears nor Slanders
8:43:46anyone by needlessly talking to anyone
8:43:49his simple-minded aim to resite gantar
8:43:53has borne fruit his mind is not troubled
8:43:56by doubt as to whether one should or
8:43:58should not do Simon or what benefit will
8:44:01I gain from Simon he was just told he
8:44:04should say Wu this is what is best for
8:44:07you and he accepted it without any doubt
8:44:11those words he accepted without
8:44:13reservation burying them deep in his
8:44:15mind and all you see now are the fruits
8:44:18of that labor what has guruji ordered
8:44:21whether standing sitting or sleeping
8:44:24meditate thou on the Lord walking on the
8:44:27way sing thou the praise of the Lord
8:44:36master and to repeat the name says nanak
8:44:41is ever while standing sitting sleeping
8:44:44the vacation of God's
8:44:47slave
8:44:49[Music]
8:44:52B some people doubt whether a man can
8:44:55recites simron even when he is in deep
8:44:58Sleep you can see for yourself that his
8:45:00body is asleep but his tongue is
8:45:02reciting
8:45:03simran what better example does one need
8:45:07to witness this deed with one's own eyes
8:45:11if he carries on as he is now his mind
8:45:13does not waver or wander then you can be
8:45:17sure he will win the game of Life The
8:45:20Bounty of Simon on God's name has cured
8:45:23his ailments his ears can hear much
8:45:25better and he can speak much more
8:45:28clearly time went by and sadu Singh
8:45:32remained absorbed in this dual task of
8:45:34SAA and
8:45:36Simon Nam aroused further spiritual
8:45:39talents and he started to hear the UNH
8:45:41Shabad literally the celestial music of
8:45:44the
8:45:45universe sometimes he would wake up from
8:45:48his sleep and would come to ask Baba GI
8:45:50why he was hearing musical instruments
8:45:53nearby Baba GI would just laugh and tell
8:45:56sadu Singh let the musical instruments
8:45:59keep playing you just carry on saying
8:46:01wuru
8:46:03Wahu sometimes he would climb the gurara
8:46:06roof to see where the celestial music
8:46:09was coming from he would look all around
8:46:12the compound and then come back to his
8:46:14bed when he would get up and roam at
8:46:16night we would ask him what is the
8:46:19matter with you he would then reply
8:46:22can't you hear them I can hear loud
8:46:24music instruments and the sound of Wu
8:46:27from somewhere we would reply that we
8:46:30could not hear anything then sadu sing
8:46:33would reply why sure you can they are
8:46:35loud enough to keep me awake all night
8:46:38wherever I go I constantly hear someone
8:46:41saying wuru with me bat kab's SLO
8:46:45reminds us that I have understood the
8:46:48riddle I am face to face with a whole
8:46:51host of troubles hja H
8:46:57pu we could not help but Wonder at the
8:47:00grace of the almighty on sadu Singh we
8:47:02wondered if he realized how easily he
8:47:05has gained the spiritual height that
8:47:07many spend their lifetimes to achieve in
8:47:10the absence of a customer it was going
8:47:14in exchange for a shell banan
8:47:19bahur in due course he was blessed with
8:47:21the power to manifest anything with his
8:47:24words
8:47:25if someone offered sadu Singh something
8:47:27to eat or wear even casually sadu Singh
8:47:30would become pleased and whatever Boon
8:47:32he would utter from his lips would
8:47:34appear he had gained such spiritual
8:47:38Heights now we come to the second stage
8:47:40of his life time lapsed and sadu sing's
8:47:43brother saw he was cured and started to
8:47:46come and visit him with babaji's
8:47:49permission he would take sadu Singh to
8:47:51Ludhiana for 5 or 6 days at his
8:47:54brother's house house he would sit idle
8:47:57around the house to keep him occupied
8:48:00the family would switch on the
8:48:01television for him and let him watch it
8:48:04all day when they would bring him back
8:48:07after a week he would talk about what he
8:48:09had watched on the TV for a whole month
8:48:12even though he could not hear the TV
8:48:14properly he would tell everyone that he
8:48:17had watched the trolley at his father's
8:48:19house sadu sing could not say television
8:48:22and called it a trolley instead he would
8:48:25tell everyone that in the trolley he saw
8:48:28running water people farming inside some
8:48:31were dancing and some would fight inside
8:48:34it it even rains inside the trolley even
8:48:37a gwara comes on it occasionally in
8:48:40short watching one week of TV would
8:48:43influence him for a complete month
8:48:47afterwards Babaji would tell him
8:48:49repeatedly not to watch TV and that it
8:48:52is bad sadu Singh would ask why it was
8:48:55bad Baba would say six do not watch TV
8:48:59guruji gets annoyed if you do he would
8:49:02say then okay then but would talk of the
8:49:05TV during the day Baba would warn us he
8:49:08has only watched TV not listened and see
8:49:12how his concentration has been ruined if
8:49:15he could hear as well then think of the
8:49:17effect it would have on
8:49:20him in time Baba merged into Almighty
8:49:24and left for his his Heavenly aboard
8:49:26sadu Singh carried on with his selfless
8:49:28service as before his nighttime habit of
8:49:31simron during his sleep continued not
8:49:35just myself but nearly all the people at
8:49:37the gurara have witnessed this strange
8:49:40but miraculous incident pertaining to
8:49:42sadu Singh's nighttime
8:49:45simmeron as is God's will sadu Singh's
8:49:48elder sister passed away in Delhi
8:49:50Shankar Singh his brother took sadu
8:49:52Singh back to Ludhiana and said there is
8:49:55no need to come for him I will bring
8:49:58sadu Singh back when I come to attend a
8:50:00wedding in the nearby Village a couple
8:50:03of weeks later pajik a couple of other
8:50:06sings and myself were visiting Ludhiana
8:50:09and thought it an opportune time to pick
8:50:11up sadu Singh we arrived at Shankar
8:50:14Singh's house and found sadu Singh
8:50:16watching TV like he did every other day
8:50:19he was in Ludhiana seeing us arrive the
8:50:22family turned off the TV and offered us
8:50:24us some
8:50:26refreshment after a little while we
8:50:28offered to take sadu Singh back to
8:50:30rampura with us if he wanted to go we
8:50:34asked him if he wanted to come now or
8:50:36later shanka sing's daughter-in-law went
8:50:39to sadu Singh and told him that babaii
8:50:42and a few other six had come to fetch
8:50:44you sadu Singh declined to go back
8:50:47saying that there was no trolley at the
8:50:49gurara and got up to turn the TV back on
8:50:52again we waited a little while and then
8:50:55got ready to leave as we were leaving I
8:50:58asked Shankar sing's daughter-in-law
8:51:00does he watch TV like this all day she
8:51:03replied that he watches TV until late at
8:51:06night and gets up only when the programs
8:51:08stop showing if we switch the TV off he
8:51:12puts it back on again I turned to the
8:51:14lady and said it is okay for you to do
8:51:18as you please but by bringing him here
8:51:20you have ruined his
8:51:22concentration dazzy to his Rose every
8:51:25day occasionally he might but he mainly
8:51:28watches television replied the
8:51:31daughter-in-law we then took leave and
8:51:33arrived back at the
8:51:34gurara after about 10 days sadu Singh's
8:51:37brother bought him back to the gurara
8:51:40now instead of his usual food of n his
8:51:43diet was that of watching TV he asked a
8:51:47TV to be set up in the Vera telling
8:51:49everybody the trolley is a good thing in
8:51:52this manner he would incessant talk
8:51:55about what he had watched on TV with
8:51:57everybody he met by the evening he could
8:52:00no longer contain himself Master
8:52:03Mahindra Singh's house was about half a
8:52:05mile away from the gurara silently and
8:52:08without telling anyone sadu sing crept
8:52:11out to master Mahindra Singh's house
8:52:13there he watched TV from 700 p.m. until
8:52:17late at night next day he stayed there
8:52:20too we were searching for him when
8:52:22Master mahinda sing's daughter came over
8:52:25to tell us that sadu Singh was at their
8:52:27house watching TV she said my mother has
8:52:31sent me over tell you not to worry about
8:52:34sadu Singh he is at our house I replied
8:52:38casually unfortunately this situation is
8:52:41way past woring now sadu Singh returned
8:52:44in the afternoon the next day he left
8:52:47for the nearby Village and watch TV at
8:52:49someone else's house so now he was going
8:52:52from house to house watching watching TV
8:52:55on his return he would talk of nothing
8:52:58else but what he had watched he would
8:53:00now demand people to bring a TV to the
8:53:03gurua he was infatuated with TV 24 hours
8:53:08a day one day I advised sadu Singh not
8:53:12to go to other people's houses he
8:53:14replied I will stay if you get me a
8:53:17trolley I told him that one does not
8:53:19bring a TV to the gwara he replied don't
8:53:23keep a trolley here in the the gurara
8:53:25but put one in one of the rooms where we
8:53:27sleep or put one in the lunger Hall I
8:53:30asked him again can you hear Wu Wu
8:53:33inside you anymore he replied that he
8:53:36could not I asked him if he could hear
8:53:39those musical instruments anymore and he
8:53:42said not anymore I was astonished that
8:53:45on the one hand the fruit of 20 years of
8:53:48SAA Simon and holy company had raised
8:53:52him to the spiritual Heights where he
8:53:55could hear the anhad Shabad on the other
8:53:58just a few weeks of TV had overwhelmed
8:54:01all his past good actions I remembered
8:54:04how much truth was hidden in Baba G's
8:54:07words he used to say that if a person
8:54:10through Pious Deeds sa and Simon gets
8:54:13his foot in the door of Heaven he would
8:54:16lose his foothold if he had The
8:54:18Misfortune of keeping Bad Company
8:54:21keeping immoral company is so powerful
8:54:24and effective it can cause us to lose
8:54:27our place in heaven secondly I could not
8:54:30help but think that if SAU Singh had
8:54:32just watched TV for a few weeks what
8:54:36would become of all those people who
8:54:38watch TV for years and years the
8:54:41deterioration of our concentration aside
8:54:44I wondered how many lives it would take
8:54:46to regain the focus of our conscious
8:54:48again if a simpleton sadu Singh's
8:54:51attention can be disrupted so easily who
8:54:54could only see but not hear a TV What
8:54:57Becomes of the person who can watch see
8:55:00hear and understand all the sorted
8:55:03things shown on TV as Baba frii says the
8:55:06sinless are beaten what of us
8:55:13sinners oh spiritual master in the age
8:55:16of Darkness Guru nanak G you started the
8:55:19tradition of transforming each home into
8:55:22a temple where celestial music is sung
8:55:25day and night but you kalog master have
8:55:29placed TVs in the all the homes and
8:55:31turned them into cinema halls well done
8:55:35you have sily absorbed the time of Reas
8:55:38and now people watch TV instead whatever
8:55:41we watch at night now roams freely in
8:55:43our imaginations sleeping late at night

8:55:49ambrosial hours of dawn from people it
8:55:52is your age and your rule only a
8:55:55fortunate few ones have escaped your
8:55:57influence the words of ratan Singh pangu
8:56:00in his book P prakash are true as he
8:56:04says that kug the age of darkness wants
8:56:07to sink The Sinner while the great Guru
8:56:10wants him to swim across the Great Guru
8:56:13does not leave his Force though he has
8:56:16to help the whole world to swim
8:56:20across oh Dark Age you have not only
8:56:23snatched the nn name from gurk but have
8:56:26also taken their holy company instead of
8:56:29presenting oneself before the guru you
8:56:32persuade people to present to you
8:56:34through the TV but be warned Baba nanak
8:56:37has immense stamina you will not be able
8:56:40to withstand his Majestic and Celestial
8:56:43Powers he will subdue you in the long
8:56:45run oh sick of the guru you now have
8:56:49only one method to save yourself and
8:56:51that is to resort to prayer Baba nanak
8:56:55DV G said to ralar his devout follower
8:56:58ralar when your strength
8:57:01fails fall at the Lord's feet and
8:57:03beseech him in humility the almighty
8:57:06will come to your rescue so if you
8:57:09cannot save yourself from the tentacles
8:57:11of kalog by Your Own Strength then pray
8:57:14to the almighty vuru he alone is omn
8:57:18poent all pading and allmighty he alone
8:57:22will help you s s is still living at the
8:57:25Gara and is in good health if anyone
8:57:29wants to ask him about the change
8:57:31television has bought in his spiritual
8:57:33status you can still do so he would
8:57:36readly tell you his personal experience
8:57:39even now when he visits a new home he
8:57:42will ask if there is a TV only after
8:57:45repeated persuasion he has molded
8:57:48attention towards Simon a little but his
8:57:51infatuation with watching TV remains oh
8:57:54six of the guru be alert and conscious
8:57:57TV is the sweetest poison of the Dark
8:58:00Age nonetheless poison is poison even if
8:58:04it tastes sweet like the rest of the
8:58:06world do not let your Consciousness be
8:58:09disrupted and dispersed guruji has
8:58:12instructed us to attune our conscious
8:58:14Minds a scattered conscious will not be
8:58:17able to gain any spiritual benefits to
8:58:20obtain a higher spiritual State we have
8:58:23to follow what pagat kabi says the Lord
8:58:26is very near why do you say he is far
8:58:30blind your pugnacious passions and
8:58:32attain unto the beest
8:58:39Lord
8:58:41Sund so the Lord can be obtained if we
8:58:44restrain our inner noise of passions and
8:58:47mind our instincts we should try not to
8:58:50disperse our mental concentration and
8:58:53stop our mind from its inner aimless
8:58:55dialogue by listening talking or
8:58:58watching endlessly will never satisfy
8:59:01the mind's curiosity Guru angad d g
8:59:04tells us that the mouth is not sated
8:59:07with speech and the ears are not sated
8:59:10with hearing the eyes are not sated with
8:59:14what they see each organ is the
8:59:16purchaser of one sort of trait the
8:59:19hunger of the hungry departs not by mere
8:59:22words of mouth the hunger
8:59:24only then the hungry man is satiated
8:59:27when he utters his praise he gets
8:59:30absorbed
8:59:48aay P gashi too corroborates what guruji
8:59:51says the eyes are not s satisfied with
8:59:54beholding sights and exhibitions the
8:59:57ears are not satisfied with hearing
8:59:59praise or blame mourning or
9:00:03rejoicing the tongue is not satisfied
9:00:05with eating what affords pleasure and
9:00:08Delight the nose is not contented with
9:00:10food with good or evil orders nobody is
9:00:14satisfied with his span of life and
9:00:17everyone entertains false hopes but the
9:00:20scks are satisfied with the guru and
9:00:23there is the true love and
9:00:48Delight no one to this day has ever
9:00:51satisfied the Mind through his or her
9:00:53senses
9:00:54as guruji tells us one can only satisfy
9:00:57our hunger for pleasure by adopting the
9:01:00quality of praising the Lord then one
9:01:02can merge into the Lord tasting the
9:01:05ultimate pleasure oh nanak hunger is
9:01:09relieved only when one utters the
9:01:11Glorious Praises of the praiseworthy
9:01:15[Music]
9:01:18Lord let us learn from the experience of
9:01:21the simple-minded sadu singhh
9:01:24Kabir oh riched man you shall be drowned
9:01:28through undue regard for the opinion of
9:01:31many men know that the Fate which has
9:01:34befallen your neighbor shall also come
9:01:36upon you
9:01:46Kabir chapter
9:01:4955 becoming Guru Ward is the only
9:01:52relationship
9:01:56Baba GI had deep regard and affection
9:01:59for the suut of
9:02:00dwara at every meditation Camp men and
9:02:04women from tar would come to perform
9:02:06Kian and Kata at Gara rampur
9:02:09Kira whenever the suut of tala invited
9:02:12babaii babai would definitely attend any
9:02:16religious occasion if he had to stay the
9:02:19night at Tara he would stay often at the
9:02:22home of P Jinder Singh or P haran Singh
9:02:26affectionately called
9:02:28paji in the office where P jagindra
9:02:30Singh and P haran Singh worked was a
9:02:33senior engineering official named Sardar
9:02:37Anar singj he was their Superior officer
9:02:40and worked for the irrigation canals
9:02:42Department sadar an naring was a zelus
9:02:45atheist and if he saw a bapti sck he
9:02:48would bombard him with vague and absurd
9:02:51questions about sism
9:02:54sometimes he would come over to the
9:02:55office of P Jinder Singh and or P haran
9:02:59Singh and pose irritational questions
9:03:02most of his subordinate officers who
9:03:04were six avoided any discussion with him
9:03:07as he was becoming a headache to any sik
9:03:10who worked around him one day a narsingh
9:03:14came to babaii and started asking him
9:03:16irritational and logical in his view
9:03:20logical questions in order to put off
9:03:22any argument pagi replied I don't know
9:03:26much about logic and religion if you
9:03:28want to know more about spirituality and
9:03:30logic then why don't you accompany me to
9:03:32Gara rampur Kira Baba Haram Singh G can
9:03:36answer your questions as he has
9:03:38experience of these
9:03:40matters Anar sing replied I shall go and
9:03:43meet your baba however you have been
9:03:46going to see him for so many years why
9:03:48can't you answer my questions are you
9:03:51wearing these kons only for sure

9:04:01then I will go and see this Baba of
9:04:04yours but I will go alone with these
9:04:07words Anar sing G left his office and
9:04:10pagi breathed a sigh of relief thanking
9:04:13God that the encounter was over pagi
9:04:17told us that they would be filled with
9:04:19tation at the sight of Anar Singh
9:04:21because firstly he would stall the
9:04:23office work with arguments and secondly
9:04:26it was very difficult answering his
9:04:28questions which were often obuse and
9:04:31absurd when one could not answer an
9:04:33ning's questions then one would feel
9:04:36rather
9:04:37small after some time the annual
9:04:39meditation Camp came around in August
9:04:42the annual camp was in full swing and
9:04:45one day Anar singj set off from Tara and
9:04:48came to the Gara he sat in the
9:04:50congregation for the whole morning
9:04:52session
9:04:54in those days pava singj from patala he
9:04:57was an early devotee of babai GI used to
9:05:00give a discourse explaining the order of
9:05:02the day taken from s gurug Gran sahib G
9:05:06Anar singj listened to the whole session
9:05:09had lunger and set off back home as he
9:05:12was leaving paji who was in charge of
9:05:15the cloak room saw him and in
9:05:17astonishment came over to greet his
9:05:19Superior officer paji greeted Anar singj
9:05:23and and asked him why he was leaving so
9:05:25soon aaring replied I was here to see
9:05:29your Saint and now I have heard him as
9:05:31well I was leaving now to attend to my
9:05:34duties paji asked where did you see and
9:05:38hear babaii he was sat amidst a
9:05:41congregation listening to a discourse on
9:05:43gurbani he has just gone straight back
9:05:46to his Hut a naring g replied the man
9:05:49who was explaining the guru's order was
9:05:52he someone else I took him to be the
9:05:55saint I listened to his explanations and
9:05:58was now ready to
9:06:00leave paji explained the man who was
9:06:03narrating the meanings of gurbani is
9:06:05Sardar vava singhji he works in the
9:06:07language department at patala University
9:06:10he is a very Pious and Noble sick and is
9:06:13an honored devote from Baba's earlier
9:06:16days he's highly regarded and is
9:06:18performing exemplary selfless and
9:06:21honorable service for the congregation
9:06:24bagaj then offered Anar sing to come and
9:06:26meet babaii if he wished to do so Anar
9:06:29sing agreed to meet babaii as that was
9:06:32why he had come to rampur Kira anyway
9:06:35paji took Anar singj to Baba's Hut which
9:06:38was above the kitchen when Anar sing
9:06:40entered the Hut babaii was sitting on
9:06:42the bed he bowed in respect to greet
9:06:45babaii before he could bow his head Baba
9:06:49caught hold of his folded hands and said
9:06:51welcome SAR G you you have graced us
9:06:54with your presence during this exchange
9:06:57of greetings pagi introduced Anar singj
9:07:00to Baba GI as his Superior officer at
9:07:03work Baba asked Anar sing G if he would
9:07:06like something to eat or drink and then
9:07:08invited him to Grace them with a visit
9:07:10to the gurara in future as well as Anar
9:07:14Singh has often told us When Baba caught
9:07:17hold of my hands I felt a Sweet
9:07:20Sensation intoxicate my inner self
9:07:24this sensation lasted for 2 days and
9:07:26this was the first time in my life that
9:07:29I had experienced anything like this the
9:07:32annual camp was due to finish on Sunday
9:07:34in 3 days Anar singj came early to the
9:07:38Gara the next morning he sat attentively
9:07:42listening to the discourse in one corner
9:07:44of the hall until the session finished
9:07:47at the end he exchanged good f with
9:07:50babai and quietly left for tar partly
9:07:53due to his past Good Deeds from previous
9:07:56lives and in part due to the spiritually
9:07:59cleansing effect of sitting with the
9:08:01congration the seeds of spirituality
9:08:04germinated within Anar singi he
9:08:07underwent a drastic change in his
9:08:10lifestyle now he got a gutka that is a
9:08:13prayer book of daily prayers arising
9:08:15early in the morning he now started to
9:08:18recite his prayers daily he would bolt
9:08:21himself in his bedroom so that no one
9:08:23would know know he was reciting his
9:08:24prayers he kept his transformation so
9:08:27secret that even his wife did not know
9:08:30for the first six months that he was
9:08:32reciting prayers suddenly the Absurd and
9:08:35obtuse questioning stopped his office
9:08:38colleagues were spared the routine
9:08:40humiliation inflicted upon them Anar
9:08:44Singh started to consult other giks in
9:08:46order to get spiritual
9:08:49upliftment pagi too thanked God that he
9:08:52was now spared the question and the
9:08:53taunting of his beliefs by his Superior
9:08:56officer a narsing's wife met paji once
9:08:59and could not help but ask what spell
9:09:01have you cast over my husband the
9:09:04atmosphere at home has changed
9:09:06completely before when my husband came
9:09:09home there used to be an air of tension
9:09:11and awe in the household now there is a
9:09:14complete reversal of the situation he
9:09:17comes home has tea and bolts himself in
9:09:20his room God knows what he does in there
9:09:23his Nature has totally
9:09:25changed paji Shrugged and replied you
9:09:29know sardari better than us we have done
9:09:31nothing to him whatever he does he must
9:09:34be doing for the
9:09:37better 6 months passed and AAR Singh was
9:09:41now reciting his prayers regularly in
9:09:44the meantime he read books written by P
9:09:47singi as well as other religious
9:09:49scriptures whenever he came across
9:09:51anything that was doubt ful he would
9:09:54come to gurar rampur Kira without
9:09:56telling anyone and discuss his doubts
9:09:58with babaii through his discussions he
9:10:01would cleanse his doubts about spiritual
9:10:03matters and then quietly return home one
9:10:07time he requested babaii please pray for
9:10:10me in the feet of Siri gurug Grans s so
9:10:13that I too may get glimpses of the Holy
9:10:16Guru Baba GI listened carefully to him
9:10:19and replied Anar sing G we shall pray at
9:10:22the feet of s Guru gr sahab but with
9:10:24what words will I plead in front of the
9:10:26great Guru what is your relationship to
9:10:29the guru and what words will I use to
9:10:31describe your relationship to him should
9:10:34I address you as a devotee of the guru
9:10:37or his sick you have yet to become his
9:10:39sick guruji defines what a devote is a
9:10:44true devote is one who has surrendered
9:10:46his body and mind to the guru and does
9:10:49what the guru asks him or her the Lord
9:10:53slave is he who Embraces guru's service
9:10:57dedicating their mind and body making an
9:11:00offering of these to the
9:11:06guru and he is said to be God's
9:11:09attendant who keeps God close to his
9:11:12heart dedicating his soul and body he
9:11:15places them before the Lord and Roots
9:11:18out ego from within
9:11:29to become a servant of the Lord one has
9:11:31to surrender all your body Soul wealth
9:11:35to the guru and submit to his will thus
9:11:39shall you obtain the
9:11:46Lord he who surrenders becomes a true
9:11:49servant and is accepted by his Lord
9:11:53such service the Lord renders to him
9:11:56that he surrenders his soul to whom it
9:11:58belongs he who is pleasing to the Lord
9:12:02becomes acceptable in the Lord's Court
9:12:05such a slave obtains honor in the Lord's
9:12:20Court Guru Amash defines sick as he
9:12:24alone is your true disciple friend
9:12:27Kinsman and brother who walks in the
9:12:29guru's will
9:12:36so Guru ramdas describes the daily
9:12:39routine of a sick one who calls himself
9:12:43a sick of the guru the true Guru shall
9:12:45rise in the early morning hours and
9:12:48meditate on the lord's name upon Rising

9:12:58he is to chant the name of the Lord all
9:13:01sins misdeeds and negativity shall be
9:13:04erased then at the rising of the sun he
9:13:07is to sing gurbani whether sitting down
9:13:10or standing up he is to meditate on the
9:13:13lord's name one who meditates on my Lord
9:13:17with every breath and every muscle that
9:13:20gik becomes pleasing to the guru's
9:13:24mind to whom my Lord and Master is kind
9:13:27and compassionate upon that gik the guru
9:13:31teachings are
9:13:33bestowed servant nanak begs for the dust
9:13:36of the feet of that gik who himself
