ing o nly w ith th e grace o f h er beloved Hazur. She decided o n suicide, b u t th e voice o f h e r
G u m sto p p ed h e r from d o in g so. T h en she decided to pass h er life in w riting all th e stories
a n d h e r experiences in m em ory o f h e r beloved G um (Master.) In th a t way she could tell all

love o f a tm e disciple for th e tm e M aster in th e w orld. I sp en t th irty years o f m y life in h e r
com pany, considering h e r as m y spiritual m other. I w rote h e r au to b io g rap h y w hich she a d ­
vised m e to w rite in h e r presence. Therefore, h e r life story from c h ild h o o d is also w onderful
an d spiritual. So th e b o o k also m ake m y m em ories fresh.
She started h e r b o o k w ith som e o f th e w ords by th e great In d ia n w o m a n Saint M eera
Bhai (M ira Bhai.) She was th e great lover o f Lord K rishna d uring h e r tim e. She was th e
disciple o f G u m Ravi Das w h o w as a cobbler in profession. But M ira Bhai was a princess
a n d she surrendered herself to Lord K rishna a n d h e r G um . Therefore, Bibi Lajo was th e
M ira Bhai o f today. She h a d th e sam e k in d o f p ains in separation o f h e r beloved G um .

Words She Wrote in Hindi:

"Gayal Ji G atiG ayalJaanai, O N a laanaiKayee." This m eans, "O nly th e perso n w h o is h u rt can

About Bibi Lajo:

Bibi Lajo W anti was a true devotee o f M aharaj Sawan Singh Ji. She devoted h e r precious
years o f life in H is service, d o in g His cooking, taking care o f His residence a n d giving His
m essages to th e devotees. She also h e lp e d h im w ith his teachings a t h e r very y o u n g age o f
tw enty three years.
She lived in Beas, (a to w n in D istrict Amritsar, State o f Punjab, India.) She traveled w ith
h e r Guru, H azur Sawan Singh Ji, everywhere. W h en h er G uru left this w orld, it w as very h ard
for h e r to live w ith o u t H im .
She th o u g h t o f suicide b u t H azur's voice inside h e r sto p p e d h er from do in g so. She was
very spiritual by th e grace o f h e r Savior. In th is way she can tell o th er devotees h o w h e r Sav­
ior was a great a n d true Saint an d Perfect M aster in this w orld. W hen h e r M aster left h e r she
was like a fish o u t o f water. She never sto p p e d sh ed d in g tears in His m em ory.
I m yself sp e n t 30 years in h e r com pany. I got th e best o p p o rtu n ity to travel w ith h er an d
saw h e r su rro u n d e d by n um berless satsangies w ho loved h e r very m uch.
So this tra n sla tio n also m akes m y m em ories fresh. D ue to h e r I was fo rtu n ate to have the
grace o f m y M aster, Sant Kirpal Singh J i.

She started h e r b o o k w ith som e o f th e w ords from M ira Bhai, th e great Saint a n d lover
o f th e Lord Krishna. She w rote th e p o etry a n d songs in h e r p a in o f separation. So I used to

IT
call Bibi Lajo the Mira Bhai of today who had the same kind of pain of her Guru's separation.
Bibi Lajo wrote, "Gayal Ki Gati Gayal Jane Ox Ma Jane Koy," which means "Only the per­
son who is hurt can feel the pain of his hurt. No one can feel that kind of pain, it is impos­
sible." In order to keep this pain in her heart she started to write the stories.
In her stories there are the miracles of Master Sawan Singh Maharaj Ji and His supreme love
for his devotees. How He was kind, humble and graceful to all human beings. He gave her
love like a father and Guru. He used to call her Kako in his love (Kako means daughter.)
When her Master Sawan Sing Maharaj Ji was present, my Savior, Kirpal Singh Maharaj Ji
was in his service also. She was having the good company of Sant Kirpal Singh also.
About one lakh (100,000) people from Beas know her great services to her Master and the
satsangies. She got all the treasure of spirituality from her Master. She was among the greatest
holy souls in this world. She is a rare example of such a devotee in these times.
She lived a simple life with high and spiritual thoughts and she gave her love to everyone.
She used to have big retreats in the memory of her Master and thousands of satsangies were
invited. I can never forget my spiritual mother and her influence on my whole life. She gave
me a lot of love and helped to lead me on our Master's path.

After tw o days she h a d a light fever a n d she to ld h e r d au g h ter in law th a t she w o u ld leave

Story #7:
The kindness o f the Saints

O ne day, after H azur finished His Satsang, a few w om en cam e to m e a n d asked for
H azur's D arshan. I to ld m y Satguru (H azur) th a t th e ladies w anted to have His D ar­

room . (Note: "Ji" is added at the e n d o f th e nam e, for super-respect to th e Master.) I fol­
low ed H im an d again requested His D arshan for these ladies as they needed His grace.
H e said, "Grace is always there for anyone w h o w ants to receive it." I said, "Everybody w ants
yourgrace." O n this H azur said, "I daily go to everyone to distribute Baba Ji's grace, b u t only
rare ones are there to receive it." I asked at w h a t tim e does he go. Satguru Ji laughed an d said, "I
go to everyone from 2:00 a.m. to 6:00 a.m. Som e are sleeping, som e busy in th eir daily needs,
an d som e are busy in luxuries a n d lust. O nly a few devotees are there w ho are sitting in m edi­

from m y basket. Those ladies long for M aster's D arshan, so I will give it to th e m only, th en I
will com e back w ith th e rest o f th e grace in m y basket. The basket is filled w ith th e grace o f m y
G uru Baba Jaimal Singh Ji." I rem em ber th a t it seem ed th a t H azur was speaking th e real tru th

Story #8:
Story o f Kashmir

K ashm ir is a state in n o rth e rn In d ia in th e lap o f Him alayas. H azur loved th e hills a n d

valleys o f Kashmir. A lo t o f p eo p le th ere loved H im since th e tim e H e h a d b e e n w orking as
an engineer u n d e r British rule in India. Som e o f His m o st w onderful travels w ere in these
areas w here H e h a d stayed du rin g His service. D uring His service H e knew th ese p eo p le a n d
H e rem em b ered th em w h e n H e w en t th ere as a Perfect Master.
All th e old p eo p le used to com e a n d m eet H im daily. So o n e tim e, H azur Sache Patshah
(True M aster) th o u g h t o f going to K ashm ir from th e Beas D ehra (ashram .) D eputy H am a-
ryan used to go w ith H im . H e also to o k m e w ith H im . H azur said to me, "Kako get ready. I
have p la n n e d to stay in K ashm ir for fo u r days." I was ready to collect all o f th e utensils, food
a n d His clothes, as H azu r did n o t eat th e fo o d from people's houses. D eputy H am ary an was
very jealous o f m e a n d h e h a d a very sh o rt tem per. H e also slandered m e b e h in d m y back.
So, h e advised H azu r n o t to take m e this tim e. H azur said, "I have already talked a b o u t m y
to u r a n d to ld h e r to get ready a n d I w ill n o t stop h er from going. I do n o t w a n t to break h e r
heart. She always travels w ith m e a n d takes care o f m y fo o d a n d clothes." Yet still he agreed

w ith h im a n d said, "Okay Kako, y o u can stay here at Beas." W h en H azur cam e in I to ld H im
th a t everything was ready for H im to leave for K ashm ir tom orrow . H azu r lovingly said, "No,
Bibi we have cancelled th e to u r for Kashm ir." I said, "No, Hazur, do n o t cancel th e tour. I
w ill n o t go th is tim e because a large p o rtio n o f th e sangat is w aiting th ere for you. They are
longing for y o u r D arshan a n d I w ill stay, h ap p ily for th eir sake." Hazur, Sache P atshah (True
G od) said, "I am very h a p p y th a t y o u face these difficulties b o ld ly a n d quietly. D o n o t feel
b a d for anyone in Beas, you need n o t to feel anything bad, beg an y th in g you w a n t now." I
said, "I w a n t n o th in g except you a n d y o u r presence." I said these w ords, b u t I was very sad
because I never stayed w ith o u t Hazur.
H azur was talking to a satsangie from A m ritsar w h o was stan d in g in His room . I was
stan d in g at a little distance from th em . H azur knew m y h e a rt a n d called me, "Kako com e
here." A m aranth said, "Bibi looks very sad a n d she is w eeping." H azu r said, "O ne w h o hurts
som eone's heart, the G u m hurts th a t perso n to o . Let us see w h a t happens. I will call h e r
th ere w ith in eight days." W h en H azu r was leaving D eputy Sahib teased m e saying, "Will you
n o t go, w e are leaving now." I said, "It is th e w ill o f m y Satguru, b u t y o u w ill n o t enjoy being
there." After this they left for Kashmir.
In th e absence o f Hazur, m y h e a rt was burning. For fo u r to five days m y h e a rt was yearn­
ing for H azur an d I was just like a fish o u t o f water. As so o n as H azu r reached Kud (a city
in th e H im alayas) D eputy Rai Sahib fell sick w ith a fever o f 104 degrees w h e n th ey reached
Kashmir. But he travelled w ith high fever a n d it tu rn e d in to p n e u m o n ia . The doctors refused
to treat h im in his critical co n d itio n as it was n o t curable there. H azur w rote a letter to Bha-
gat Singh at Jallandhar (a city 30 m iles fu rth er from Beas.) H azur said to Rai Sahib, w ho
was sick, "Look, you left Bibi Lajo against h e r w ill a n d she was very sad." H azur spoke the
w ords, "If H ari (G od) is th e victim , th e n th e G u m can pro tect H im . If th e G um is th e victim ,
th e n th e devotee can p ro tect H im . But if th e devotee is th e victim , w h o can protect him ?
Som eone's heart, if it is h u rt by so m e o n e is a big sin. S om etim e it costs a life."
T hen Rai Sahib said, "Please sen d a telegram a n d call Bibi soon." H azur said, "I can send
th e telegram just n ow o n yo u r behalf." H ere in Beas, I slept in th e p a in o f sep aratio n from
m y beloved G um . In m y dream H azu r cam e a n d said, "D o n 't w orry Bibi, y o u w ill reach
here so o n a n d will be w ith m e o n th e day after tom orrow ." W hen I w oke u p in th e m o rn ­
ing I saw D raupati stan d in g in fro n t o f m e a n d she said, "Bibi, G ulab Singh (a devotee) is
calling you." H earing h e r w ords I was surprised to know th a t H azur h a d sen t a telegram .
She said th a t th e p o st m aster h a d a telegram fo r you a n d th e n she congratulated m e, as th e
m essage in th e telegram was th a t H azu r h a d to ld m e to com e soon. I quickly to o k th e Tonga
(horse cart) a n d m y luggage a n d started to go. At th a t tim e co n stru ctio n was going o n for
th e room s for devotees to stay in from Amritsar, in Beas. I gave th e wages to th e laborers
a n d th e n caught th e train, w hich was ready to leave at 9:30 p.m . It reached Jam m u (a city in
Kashm ir) at 6:00 a.m . W h en I got d o w n I saw a boy, M ulakh Raj, stan d in g by th e d o o r o f th e
train. It looked as if h e was there to receive me. Looking a t m e he asked, "Bibi Ji, w here are
you going?" I said, "I am going to see Hazur." I asked h im , "From w here have y o u come?"
H e said, "My m aternal uncle's so n has died, so I have com e to see th e m off. They just got
in to th e train a n d I was going back hom e." So h e said, "I w as stan d in g there a n d I saw H azur
a n d H e said to me, go a n d lo o k in th e lady's c o m p a rtm e n t o f th e train. So I cam e here." He
asked m e w h o was w ith me. I said, "My Satguru Ji is w ith m e." M ulakh Raj a n d his wife also
cam e w ith m e to have th e D arshan o f Hazur. We sp en t th e n ig h t 100 m iles away from Hazur.
There w ere very delicious m angoes in th e m arket. I b o u g h t fo u r seers (ab o u t 4 kg) o f them ,
a n d kept th e m in th e basket. We caught th e bu s a n d I to ld th e driver th a t w e h a d to reach
K ashm ir by 12:00 p.m . We caught th e horse cart a n d th e n reached th e h o u se o f Bhagw ant
Singh. I asked for H azur a n d he said th a t H azu r w as in Sri Nagar. It w as a little further, so I
sat in th e sam e horse cart a n d reached Sri N agar at M aster's residence. W hen I ascended the
first step, I saw th a t H azur's cook K rishana was taking fo o d to H azur a n d I to o k th e fo o d tray
from h im a n d w en t to Hazur. My k in d Satguru saw m e a n d said very lovingly, "Kako! You
have b o u g h t som e m angoes, b ring th e m to m e a n d I w ill suck th em . All th e way you w ere

taking care o f th e m angoes." I b ow ed m y h e a d to H azur a n d H e placed His h a n d on m y
h e a d a n d H e started to eat th e m angoes a n d H e liked th e m very m uch. H e knew everything.
I asked, "Satguru Ji, h o w is Rai Sahib." H azur said, "All th e doctors have refused
h im an d h e is in very critical co n d itio n ." H azu r know s everything; he always praised his
M aster a n d H e loved H im a n d always left everything o n His G uru Baba Jaim al Singh.
H e said, "Let us go to Rai Sahib, h e is crying bitterly. I also requested to m y M aster o n
his behalf." I requested H azur to keep h im alive. H e said, "Kako! My M aster will give
h im His grace." Saying these w ords H e sat in m ed ita tio n from 8:00 p.m . to 8:00 a.m .
All th e doctors w ere calling to see w h eth er Rai Sahib was alive o r not. In th e m o rn ­

a lo t o f grace a n d I can h ear th e S habad (in n e r so u n d ) a n d can have y o u r in n er Dar-

O u t o f joy th e sangat started saying, "Sache Satguru is great."
Sache P atshah w as tak en to a big house. There was a big garden in the fro n t yard o f th e
house. H azu r sat in th e chair in th e garden a n d started talking to th e sangat. There was a

I b ro u g h t m ilk, fruit a n d som e sweets o n a p late for h im . H azur gave to h im w ith His soft

 As lo n g as H azu r stayed at Atabad, this m an cam e b o th m o rn in g a n d evening to have H a­

The p eople w h o were th e true satsangies said, after o b tain in g p en sio n s w h e n H azur left,

W hen H azur (D ata Ji) entered th e house, th e inside decorations ca n n o t b e explained. The

T hen N an ak Singh asked m e, "Bibi, sh o u ld we serve the M aster w ith so m eth in g to drink."
I said, "O kay brother, I w ill request H azur." W hen th e satsang was over, H azur cam e in to His

Story #16:
Story o f Rawalpindi (A city in Pakistan)

At 9:00 p.m . H azur reached Raw alpindi. T he sangat w as overw helm ed w ith joy a n d was
singing b h ajan s (h o ly songs.) A beautiful b e d ro o m was arranged for Hazur. Raja Ram, a dev­
otee, decorated d ie b ed ro o m , a n d th e b e d was m ad e w ith silken w h ite sheets. Everything
was placed in o rd er a n d special care was given to everything in H azur's b ed ro o m . The b ed
lo oked like a royal bed. H azur entered th e ro o m a n d was ready to go to b e d a n d he said to
Shadi (a sevadar w h o cam e w ith H azur), "My bed, please m ake it o n th e floor. I am a fakir
(a h erm it.) I d o n 't sleep o n such a royal bed." W hen Raja Ram left th e room , H e slept o n His
b e d o n th e floor. H e slept o n th e floor for th ree nights.
H azur gave satsangs for th ree days. T housands o f p eo p le w ere blessed. A Sikh (follow er)
asked H azu r if anyone h a d ever seen Sachkhand? H azur said, "Yes, I have seen Sachkhand.
If you w an t I can show you, to o ." But, w ith o u t good luck you c a n n o t see it. So th e p o o r fel­
low could n o t say "yes." H e kep t q u iet before Hazur. The next day p eo p le w h o so desired,
w ere given in itiatio n . Som e w h o w ere th e luckiest h a d seen th e light a n d h a d b e h e ld the
Satguru's h o ly D arshan. After H e was d o n e w ith in itiatio n , H azu r said lovingly, "N ow dear

lucky if successful in b h a ja n (m ed itatio n /listen in g to th e in n er so u n d ) in th is life. We have
to leave tom orrow ." The sangat prayed w ith folded hands, "Hazur, stay for o n e m o re day,"
they said. H azur said, "My children, you will never b e satisfied, I know that. It is tim e to go

15
back to th e dera because I have to do th e satsang there. T im e has already b e e n given to th e
sangat." T hen H azu r said to Raja Ram, "Brother! I am d o n e h ere now. I have to reach Hajray
tom orrow . If y o u w a n t to tell m e som ething, see m e tonight. Bring all th e m em bers o f your

b h a ja n a n d sim ran are th e o nly things w h ich w ill go w ith us after d eath." "All right H azur,"
Raj Ram said. H azu r to o k His b a th a t 3:00 p.m . a n d ate H is lu n ch a n d th e n rested for an
hour. At 5:00 p.m . He gave satsang again. At 7:00 p.m . satsang was over. H e w ent for a walk
for o n e hour. From 8:00 p.m . to 11:00 p.m ., H e atten d ed to all o f th e satsangies. Raja Ram
a n d his wife H ardayi cam e to have H azur's D arshan. H azur was very k in d a n d generous.
H e never p a id a tte n tio n to th e sins o f th e satsangies. H e always used to say, "A w aterm an's
d u ty is to w ash th e clothes w ith full a tten tio n , because h e know s th a t th ere is cleanliness in
it, th o u g h it m ay b e very dirty." T hen H e said to Raja Ram, "Say so m eth in g Raja Ram." He
said, "Hazur! Give us y o u r blessings." H azu r replied, "Brother, y o u can have as m any as you

a n d love. Now, do y o u r b h a ja n a n d sim ran a lot. You will see inside, th a t all o f th e treasure

Rahim for us." H azur quickly said, "N o brother, I a m th e sevadar (servant) o f th e sangat." I
asked Hazur, "Satguru Ji, we d o n o t k now a b o u t Shabad (so u n d ) a n d lig h t u n til we have th e
physical form o f th e G um . So we love o u r G u m in His physical form ." To this H azur said,
"Bibi, w h a t y o u are saying is correct. I agree w ith y o u th a t y o u c a n n o t get Shabad u n til you
have a living Master. So th e Saints com e w ith th e order o f th e A lm ighty a n d do th eir d uty ac­
cordingly a n d aw aken th e m arked souls o f th e h u m a n beings, deliver satsang, give in itiatio n
a n d D arshan so th a t they sh o u ld rem em b er th e ir origin a n d can go back to th e ir real h o m e
(Sachkhand.) And, after do in g all o f this, th e Saints go back to th e ir true hom e. Saints never
like to stay in th is w orld for very lo n g because th e country o f th e Saints is very peaceful. All
th e pleasures o f this w orld, th e Saints consider th e m as d irt a n d m ud. The Saints are never
attached to th e w orldly things an d are always attached w ith th eir Suprem e M aster Power.
Therefore, th o se w h o them selves beco m e en lightened by d o in g sim ran a n d m ed ita tio n by
th e grace o f th e ir living M aster are th e luckiest ones in th is w orld. T here is n o d o u b t th a t th e

later, w h e n it starts growing. But w hy n o t in th is life? So we love to do sim ran a n d b h ajan.
Everyone sh o u ld take all th e benefits o f in itia tio n in this life. So d o sim ran a n d b h a ja n a n d
perform yo u r duties at h o m e a n d lead y o u r life w ith love a t hom e. Bibi, y o u always serve
Raja Ram w ith love a n d devotion, th is service is m y service. You tell y o u r daughters to serve
th e ir h u sb an d s lovingly a n d to serve th e ir parents lovingly. They are th e first G um ."
H azur talked a b o u t Him self, "W hen I was y o u n g m y father passed away. Fortunately,
I was able to serve m y m other. From m y job, I used to send m y full salary to m y m other.
W hatever she w anted to give m e, she could give me. W hatever she w anted, she could give to
m y wife. The rest she could have for herself. I never gave orders to m y m other. W hen I m et

W hen H azur was d o n e w ith these explanations, He gave m an y blessings a n d parshad to

After giving His D arshan, H e got o u t o f th e car a n d proceeded tow ards th e beautiful

T hen D ata Ji did satsang a n d all th e satsangies a n d non-satsangies enjoyed th e satsang.

"Please eat th e food, it is late now." D ata Ji said, "Kako! I forget everything w hile I am in the

The o ld sage Jagir Singh requested o f Hazur, "Please stop by m y h o u se o n th e way w h en

In th e m orning, at 5:00 a.m., H azur gave D arshan to th e sangat an d said, "Do sim ran an d

Story #18:
Story o f Jehlam (city in Pakistan)

W hen H azu r reached Jehlam as usual, m an y satsangies were w aiting for H im singing
songs in His love a n d praise. H azu r also h a d tre m en d o u s hap p in ess o n His face. The sangat,

devotee o f Hazur. Arriving in Jehlam , H azur m e t y o u n g a n d old a n d gave goo d D arshan. He
satisfied everybody a n d fulfilled his o r h er w ishes. H e show ered His grace o n everyone. As
so o n as H e entered th e satsang hall H e sat o n th e stage a n d started th e satsang. W hen th e
satsang was over there w as a special residence w hich was arranged for Hazur. After show er­
ing th e rain o f satsang, H azu r w e n t in to th e residence. Looking at th e koth i (the residence)
H azur becam e very h a p p y a n d said, "Kako! This k o th i is very beautiful a n d it is in a solitary
place. I like th is lonely a n d q u iet place. There is n o noise at all. It is w orthy o f b h a ja n an d
sim ran. Three days w ill pass nicely." I h ap p ily said, "It is really nice Sache Patshah." D ata Ji
h a d a b a th a n d to o k His d in n e r a n d was lost in His in n e r thoughts.
At night, w h e n th e sangat w as d o n e w ith th e langar (m eal, o r place w here m eals are
served) th ey cam e in to th e k o th i to have H azur's D arshan. They asked me, "Bibi Ji, w ill Ha-
z u r give us D arshan?" I replied, "Yes dear ones. H e w ill give D arshan. H e is a little tired, b u t
He will com e in a little w hile. H azu r know s best." I requested, "D ata Ji, th e dear ones cam e
to see y o u a n d w a n t to discuss th e tim e o f the. m o rn in g satsang a n d a b o u t th e program .
W hat is y o u r o rd er Sache Patshah?" D ata Ji said, "Let th em com e in." I to ld th e dear ones
they could com e in a n d D ata Ji w as very kind. The sangat entered th e ro o m full o f joy. D ata
Ji laughed a n d was really h a p p y to see th e sangat. T he dear ones said, "We have b o th ered
you?" D ata Ji said, "No, dear ones, I am here for y o u r service. O therw ise I have n o th in g to
do at this place." W ith loving w ords H azur satisfied th e sangat a n d to ld a b o u t th e program
for th e next day.
The next day, H azu r d id th e satsangs at seven in th e m o rn in g a n d from fo u r to six in th e
evening a n d H e stayed for th ree days. Tulsi D as sp en t a lo t o f m o n ey for th e arrangem ent
o f th e sangat. I to ld Hazur, "Tulsi Das has n o child." H azur said, "There is n o lack in G od's
house. "After a year Tulsi Das cam e to see H azu r w ith his son.
H azur said, "D ear one, Tulsi Das. I am very h a p p y w ith you. You serve th e sangat well
b u t do m o re sim ran. Seva gives th e rew ard in cash a n d b h a ja n gives th e developm ent in the

th in g is false a n d artificial in this w orld." Tulsi Das said, "Yes, Sache Patshah, it is all tm e."
D ata Ji kept o n saying such k in d w ords to everyone. Listening to D ata Ji's satsang, all w ere
very h a p p y a n d requested in itiatio n . D ata Ji said, "But there are conditions. O n e sh o u ld ab­
stain from m eat, w ine o r any alcoholic drink. Looking at other's wives a n d other's h u sb an d s

all these com m ents H azur fu rth er said, "If y o u are n o t keeping y o u r prom ises w ith me, you

A ndha Jan H ovey Kori." (This m ean s th a t o n e w h o cheats his G u m an d hides the things

Patshah, w e w ill keep o u r prom ise." T hen H azur said, "Okay, dear ones, I w ill initiate you in
th e m orning."
D ata Ji h a d a b a th in th e m orning, d ran k so m e m ilk a n d sat in m ed ita tio n for som e

19
selecting th e p eo p le for in itiation, H e to ld a m an, "You ca n n o t have in itiatio n because y ou

to ld him , "If y o u listen to th e satsang a n d do seva for th e next six m o n th s, th e n you w ill be
given in itiation." The m a n said, "O kay Sache Patshah, as y o u w ish." (Translator's N ote: This
was a very im p o rta n t story to Bibi Lajo.)
W hen H azu r started giving in itia tio n a m a n from Kabul, A fghanistan cam e in an d ap ­
peared before Hazur. H e to u ch e d H azur's feet a n d said, "D ata Ji, I w a n t to tell you th e tru th

So I m u rd ered m y wife. I w ent to th e court a n d explained everything truthfully. The Judge

H azur D ata Ji reached G ujranw ale like th e ju m p in g waves o f th e ocean sprinkling th e

w ater o f H is love o n th e sangat. W h en H e got o u t o f th e car, H azur D ata Ji gave His darshan,

H azur sat o n th e stage inside th e h o u se an d gave satsang. H azur's stay was arranged in
th e h o u se o f Parkhadial, th e Judge o f th e area. After giving satsang, H azur w e n t to th e Judge's
house. The Judge's wife w as a sym bol o f love a n d patience. She talked to m e like a m o th e r
w o u ld talk to h e r daughter. She loved Hazur, b u t was feeling a little fearful o f appearing b e ­

decorated H azur's ro o m w ith love a n d devotion. H azur reached His ro o m w ith His m ajestic

overjoyed a n d said, "Bibi, Hazur, please com e in to th e h o u se o f th is sinful lady." I said to
Hazur, she is beco m in g m ad w ith y o u r love." D ata Ji said, "Bibi, such souls are destined
from Sachkhand. She is a real picture o f spiritual love." I b ro u g h t h e r before Hazur. She was

21
having Hazur's Darshan from a distance. She was saying, "Bibi, Deen Dyal (Hazur) is such
a holy power. How can we sinful people stand before Him?" I boldly brought her before
Hazur. Hazur said in a very loving voice, "Come my daughter, I am very happy with you."
I have respect for your love and devotion. May Soami Ji bless you with more devotion and
service for the sangat." Sache Patshah touched her head and gave her blessings. She was
overjoyed by Hazur.
Then Hazur told me that He wanted to take a bath. He took a bath, ate some food and was
lost in His holy thoughts. In the evening, Hazur gave satsang. The Judge arranged every­
thing for the comfort o f Hazur. Millions o f people heard the satsang and became spiritually
awakened. On the second day Hazur initiated four hundred men and women. He again
said, "Sons and daughters, keep on doing simran and bhajan. Meet the Guru while you
are alive. Doing this kind o f practice is your first and foremost duty in life. This practice is
In the evening, Hazur gave satsang and ordered me that night to call in Judge Sahib and
his children. They can come and sit with me and spend some time with me. Both the hus­
band and his wife are very loving, they do not bother me." I replied, "Data Ji, Bibi belongs
to a royal family, but she still works with her hands in the house. At night she herself gives
the milk to all the satsangies and then goes to bed at 12:00 a.m." Data Ji said, "Well done,
daughter. Kingdoms go with us only by doing seva. Seva is the best trade."
Data Ji uttered the words from die Holy Book, the Guru Granth Sahib. "Look Kako,
"Pan Supari Khandian, Mukh Birian Lanyeean"
"People eat intoxicated nuts and put tobacco in the mouth,
Those who never remember the Guru or God are caught by Kai (the devil) or the God of Death."
"Har Har Kadey Na Chatya, Jum Pakar Chalanyian"
In the court of Truth only seva and bhajans are respected.
There is no respect for Kingdoms."

"Who says this? It is totally true," said Sache Patshah. "You know all about it." What can
the jiva (human being) know o f the will o f Hazur? They can only know what you want to
let them know." Data Ji gave one hour to Judge Sahib and his family, blessing them with all
o f His grace. He gave forty rupees to his children and got permission for His departure in
the morning. Data Ji never liked to be lazy and He got up at 5:00 a.m. and got ready. At 6:00
a.m., Hazur gave His Darshan and got into the car. O n His way, He showered His gracious
Darshan to the sangat and made them very happy.

Story #21:
The Story o f Jammu ( A big city in Kashmir)

Data Ji now arrived at Jammu. Bibi Krishana and her husband were true devotees o f
Hazur. The sangat in Jammu were also great lovers o f Hazur. All o f them looked forward to
Hazur's arrival. Deen Dyal reached Jammu in the evening. As soon as He got down from
the car, He met the sangat with His face looking like a flower in full bloom. Thousands o f
satsangies were singing holy songs in His praise. He accepted everybody's Radha Soami and
made them happy with His Darshan. "Oh! Guru, you are the great one who helped everyone
to get rid o f the worldly suffering."
The best arrangements were made in a beautiful house for the Great Master. The stage was
decorated and He sat on it and gave satsang. The rain o f His loving words cooled the heat o f
the worldly suffering o f the people. He gave time to everyone and gave His program for four
days. At night He went to bed.
At 7:00 a.m., He again gave satsang. Many people were impressed by listening to His sat­
sang. On the third day, he initiated three hundred people. He gave His teaching by saying,
"Look, there is nothing sweet like Naam. Sugarcane, sugar, honey and buffalo milk are all
sweet, but Nam and simran are sweeter than all o f them. To remember God is the sweetest

go back to R aw alpindi to see h im because h e is sick." I said, "Okay, Sache P atshah." Sache
Patshah, th e k in d one, gave His D arshan to th e sangat a n d advised th e m to do sim ran a n d
b h a ja n a n d th e n said, "It is a m atte r o f little tro u b le because w e have to go back to Rawal­

"If you wish to see God,

Do not hurt anybody's heart."

Satguru Ji was very p articular a b o u t th e loving satsangies hearts. W h eth er th ey w ere rich

W hen H e was a b o u t to go to sleep H e said, "Kako, you pack u p all th e luggage a n d go

th e suitcase w ith th e m o n ey w ith you. I believe in you, b u t take care o f it nicely." I d o u b te d

to say an y th in g to h e r a b o u t b ein g careful w ith th e m oney." H azu r left at 4:00 a.m . a n d I
w ished H im well upstairs. I did n o t go dow nstairs to see H im o ff because it was in m y m in d
th a t D ata Ji to ld m e to take care o f th e m oney. I kept o n sitting by th e m oney. After H azur
left, th e sangat sat in th eir places. T hen I cam e dow nstairs h o ld in g th e suitcase in m y h a n d .
W h en I got to Lahore, I h a d to cook for fifty people. I cooked all th e food, keeping th a t
suitcase w ith m e. At 9:00 a.m . w e h a d to leave. W h en all th e luggage w as placed in th e m o to r

I th o u g h t th a t since everything was arranged a n d there was n o rush o r noise, h e w o u ld n o t

23
m oving a n d I asked, "Sham , w here is th e suitcase?" H e said, "Bibi, it is in th e car." At th e
next stop I lo o k ed for th e suitcase, b u t could n o t find it. So I got o u t o f th e car a n d caught
a n o th e r car to go back to Jam m u to lo o k for th e suitcase. All th e w ay I kept o n praying,
"Satguru, please h elp m e, please take care o f th e suitcase." W hen I re a d ie d th e sam e house
w here H azur h a d stayed, I asked R akm ani if th ere was a suitcase th a t w as left there. She said,
"Yes, there is o n e suitcase. I asked th e sangat if it belonged to anyone, b u t n o o n e came, so I
kept it inside." As so o n as I saw th e suitcase I th an k e d H azur a n d w en t back to Lahor. All th e
peo p le w ere surprised to see m e w ith th e suitcase, b u t three m en n a m e d G handi, Latha a n d
Jangu w ere saying, "She to o k all th e m o n ey for h er fam ily m em bers a t Jalw indar a n d cam e

At 9:00 p.m . I was cooking food for H azur w h en H e cam e into th e ro o m at 10:00 p.m . N o
o n e h ad seen H azur yet o r said anything a b o u t the suitcase. H azur entered the ro o m laughing
o u t loud a n d said, "Bibi, tell m e the story o f th e suitcase?" I said," Hazur, if you h a d to ld m e
dearly, w h a t w ould b e w rong w ith it?" Then H azur said, "You are saved by yo u r Guru, b u t th e
liars left n o stone u n tu rn e d by speaking ill o f you." I folded m y h an d s an d tou ch ed H azur's
feet and said, "Thank you Hazur, there is n o o n e for m e in this w orld except you."
H azur gave on ly o n e satsang in Lahore, a n d th e n left for Amritsar. H e stayed in His
residence in Am ritsar. H azu r to ld everything a b o u t His jo u rn ey to th e sangat, w h o was very
loving to Hazur. The Satguru rem ained very healthy in Kashmir. Seeing H azur's sh in in g face
m ade the sangat very happy. In th e m orning, after giving His D arshan, H e left for D era Beas
(a city in Punjab, 40 m iles from Am ritsar.) Before getting into th e car, H e gave p arsh ad a n d
D arshan to everyone w h o was standing in a lo n g line. Som e laborers w ho w ere b u ild in g
th e room s in th e satsang hall also to o k p arsh ad a n d enjoyed H a z u rs h o ly D arshan. H e also
m ade th e sinful jiva like m e blissful by saying "Kako, you w orked h a rd for m e. I am very
h a p p y w ith you." H e was truly th e King o f Kings an d always encouraged us w ith o u t having
to show His power. I saw this virtue in m y Satguru. At 7:00 a.m . H e got in to th e car a n d left
for D era Beas. H e arrived a t D era Beas at 8:00 a.m . along w ith m yself a n d th e rest o f th e staff.
W hen we reached th e dera, th o u sa n d s o f peo p le from th e sangat w ere already th ere singing
th e holy songs o f His love a n d w aiting for Hazur. As so o n as H azu r got o u t o f th e car, th e
satsangies su rro u n d e d H im like m o th s to a light. The Satguru greeted everyone w ith a sm ile.
H azur said, "D ear ones, lo o k h o w th e sangat all aro u n d has such great love for m y Satguru
(referring to Jaim al Singh Ji.) This is th e tru e spiritual p a th in this w orld. The p eo p le in th o se
days h a d a great respect for satsang. But now, th e residents in th e dera do n o t have any re­

Just see w ith y o u r eyes opened. You will get to know all a b o u t m e a n d w h a t I expect from
you. I have given in itia tio n to n in eteen h u n d re d dear ones du rin g m y journey. I could n o t
give m u ch tim e to th e p eople o f Lahore a n d Am ritsar." H azur fu rth er said, "M aharaj Ji (Baba
Jaim al Singh Ji) u sed to say, "N obody tries to recognize God. W h en Saints are gone, th e n
they get respected." Baba Ji used to say, "The m iracles o f b h a ja n a n d sim ran w ill be kno w n
after we are g one from th is w orld." H azur said, "That is w hy I am telling you. You are n o t to
have en m ity a n d jealousy. I am very h a p p y w h e n I go o u t for m y jo u rn ey because n o b o d y
com plains, b u t in th e dera, yo u r com plaints are lim itless."
D ata Ji asked, "Kako, has everybody arrived?" I replied, "Yes, Satguru Ji." H azur said,
"You m ig h t b e tired." I said, "No Sache Patshah, I have d o n e n o th in g . You m ig h t be tired.
You have travelled a lot, d o n e m an y satsangs, initiated m an y peo p le a n d h a d a heavy lo a d o f
sinful peo p le like m e."
T hen H azu r said, "Well, Bibi, m y Baba Ji is bearing th is heavy load. I do th e seva th in k in g
o f him . I w ill keep o n d o in g this seva as lo n g as it w ill com e to m e. If it stops, th e n I w ill sit

words, He to o k His b ath , ate som e food, d ran k som e w ater a n d w en t to bed.

 The next day was Friday a n d th e sangat was already th ere w aiting. It was th e m o n th o f
August. H azur never felt tired by d o in g satsang. Again, H e cam e for th e service o f th e sangat.
H azur used to w ork day a n d n ig h t a n d was never tired. Satguru u sed to perform the du ty o f
seva an d was never tired. In th e m orning, as so o n as H e got up, H azu r checked u p o n th e
w ork w ith th e satsangies. W hatever w ork was left, H e finished it th a t m orning.
I h a n d e d th e suitcase full o f m o n ey over to Hazur. D ata Ji said, "Kako, call in sevadar
Bhagat Singh." I replied quickly, "Okay, Sache Patshah."

Story #22:
The Second Story

W hen I w en t to call Bhagat Singh, h e spoke in anger a n d refused to com e. I cam e in a n d

said to Hazur, "Bhagat Ji is n o t com ing." D ata Ji said, "You go a n d call h im again. Tell h im
th a t H azur w ants to see h im an d w ants to tell h im som ething." D ata Ji never k ep t th e m o n ey
w ith H im . H e used to h a n d it over to th e Sardar Bhagat Singh a n d D eputy H am arayan. I
w en t a n d called Sardur Bhagat Singh a n d b ro u g h t h im before Hazur. D ata Ji said to Bhagat
Singh, "I called for you." T hen H e laughed a n d started saying, "Kakiai, b rin g th e m oney." I
replied, "O kay Sache Patshah, I will b rin g it." I b ro u g h t a b o u t eighteen th o u sa n d rupees b e ­
fore Hazur. T hen H azur said, "Brother, it is all d u e to Bibi th a t we got these sevadars' rupees."
H azur was c o u n tin g th e m o n ey a n d p u ttin g it before B hagat Singh a n d said, "Brother, you
also c o u n t it." H e said, "Hazur, it is all eighteen th o u sa n d rupees." W hen H azur said, "It is
all d u e to Bibi." Bhagat Singh said, "From w here has Kako b ro u g h t this m oney?" H azur said,
"Look Brother, you need ed the m o n ey so you to o k it from w here it came.
W hat m akes you need to know? You spoke very angrily to Kako a n d you w ere n o t even
w illing to com e, a n d all th is w ith o u t any reason. D o n o t try to u n tie yo u r shoes. O n o n e

h a p p y w ith y o u th a t y o u have d o n e a lo t o f seva for m e." Sardur Bhagat Singh sm iled a n d
said, "Okay, Kako, please excuse m e for speaking o u t o f anger to you." "No Brother, there is
n o th in g to feel b a d ab o u t," I said. D ata Ji said, "Okay, brother, take care o f th is m oney."
W hen H azur left, Bhagat Singh started asking m e, "Bibi, h o w has this m o n ey been col­
lected." I said, "D ata Ji's grace." Saying these w ords I cam e to H azu r a n d to ld H azur th a t
Bhagat Singh still w as asking a b o u t th e m oney. So D ata Ji said, "If so m eth in g is d o n e by
H ari (G um ), still peo p le say 'Kabir! Kabir! H o w can y o u do it?' I gave th e exam ple o f Kabir.
People never believed th a t Kabir w o u ld b e able to do anything, b u t His G u m was always
b e h in d H im w orking for H im ." T hen D ata Ji said, "Kako, M aster always takes care o f His
disciple, you need n o t worry. I am very h a p p y w ith y o u r seva." D ata Ji is great. H e know s
everything a n d H e helps us to know w h a t H e needs d o n e for H im . We all are th e guilty ones
in His court.
Satguru, Sache Patshah, always encouraged everyone. W ith His soft a n d sw eet w ords H e
even m elted th e sto n eh earted people.

W here w ill D ata Ji go for six m onths? The sinful m in d does n o t believe in th e G uru's w ords.
W h en D ata Ji got u p early th e next m orning, D an ich an d N agpaul cam e to have H azur's Dar-

D ata Ji said, "Speak Baba Ji." Baba Ji said, "My k o th i is in D alhousie. O n e koth i is for

"O kay brother, if M aster is w illing it to h a p p e n ." After finishing satsang a n d giving His h o ly

I said, "D ata Ji, it is all y o u r grace a n d kindness."
D ata Ji said, "Kako, o n th e sixth day from today, I have to go to lo o k at th e houses an d

26
a n d gave m e th ree th o u sa n d rupees for seva to b u y th e houses. W hen D ata Ji reached His

I placed th ree th o u sa n d rupees before H im . H e spoke w ith a smile, "Kako, w here did they

W h en I to ld D ata Ji th a t th e m o n e y was to b e arranged at Rai Sahib's house, Rai Sahib

After six days, D ata Ji got ready to leave for D alhousie. D ata Ji said, "Let us go Kakiai, I am
going to lo o k at th e houses for you." D ata Ji was never tired o f th e travel. At 7:00 a.m . I got
in to th e car. It was th e m o n th o f June. H azur said to m e, "Kako, take tw o th o u sa n d rupees to

Ram (the lawyer) were also in th e car w ith us.
At 1:00 p.m . H azur purified D alhousie by p u ttin g His lotus feet o n its soil. H azur gave
D arshan to everyone a n d reached th e h o u se o f lucky D an ich an d N agpal, a lawyer, an d stayed

"There are a lo t less satsangies. They m ay n o t b e able to com e." H azur said, "They w ill all

H e received th e w ishes from all o f th e m a n d said, "Kako, th ey are very good devotees. Give
th e m som e tea to d rin k because th e p eople living in th e hills love to d rin k tea." I said, "Sure
Satguru Ji, I a m a slave to all o f th em . I w o u ld like to d o it." D ata Ji said, "Very good child.
To b e a slave o f th e sangat is th e biggest pleasure a n d com fort in life." After giving D arshan,
H azu r said, "You all w ill be very tired at this tim e because y o u w alked sixteen m iles th ro u g h
th e m o u n ta in s from Bakloh" (th e n a m e o f th eir village.) They said, "Okay, Hazur, we will

D ata Ji said, "He is a very h o n e st m an." I asked, "D ata Ji, w ill h e b e able to get in itia­

"O kay D ata Ji, as y o u r greatness wills." After getting u p early in th e m orning, H azu r to o k his

I w ill follow you." H azur said, "No, Bibi, I d o n 't know th e way." I replied, "O kay Satguru
Ji, I w ill go first." D ata Ji started to go. Bhagat Singh, M unshi Ram, H am arayan, M eghnath
from Lahore a n d m yself w ere w ith Hazur. All these p eo p le cam e w ith H azur a n d m e from
D era Beas. I stayed at a distance. H azu r was talking to B hagat Singh a t th e o th e r co m er a n d
I was having th e D arshan o f Hazur, stan d in g o n th e op p o site side w here H azu r was talking.
H azu r said, "C om e here, Kako a n d listen to m e." I said, "Okay, Sache Patshah" th e n I w ent

close to Hazur. H azur said, "Kako, take care o f th e m oney." I said, "Yes, D ata Ji, I w ill." He
said, "Everything will be good Kako, you have a brave heart. Faith always w ins." I replied,
"Yes, D ata Ji, y o u r grace is there." B hagat Singh again becam e upset. D ata Ji again scolded
th e m a n d m ad e th e m quiet. D ata Ji said, "If m o n ey w ill n o t be arranged, th e n ask m e."
O n this, everyone kept quiet. O n th e sam e day th e do w n p ay m en t was paid. W hen H azur
was d o n e w ith th e h o u se paym ents, Bhagat Singh cam e to Hazur. H azur said, "There is a
w aterfall a n d a bridge." I said, "Yes, H azur I also h e a rd a b o u t it." H azur said, "Let us go
see." H azur stepped further a n d all follow ed H im . After lo o k in g at th e w aterfall w e reached
th e p a n c h p u lla (a bridge is called p an ch p u lla.) here w as a big rock in th e water. Looking
at th e rock, H azur said, "Kako, I w ill sit o n it." I said, "Okay, Satguru Ji." I spread a tow el
o n it an d H azu r sat dow n. H azur said, "Look Kako, it is very cold." It is th e sam e w h e n th e
sangat is sitting in th e satsang. All are calm a n d cool. W h en they are o u t o f th e satsang, they
are again in the h e a t o f anger. The w ater does n o t have any effect in sid e th e rock. W hen it
is broken, it is dry inside. Like th e w orldly h u m a n beings w ho are n o t so easily affected by
th e Saint's w ords because th eir m in d is w rapped w ith w orldly dirt." W hen H e was speaking

rock a n d th e n started to w alk back. H e retu rn ed to His residence a n d ate som e fo o d an d
stayed for six days there. O n th e way, M unshi Ram said, "Hazur, th ere are n o t m any p e o ­

D ata Ji arrived at th e dera after six days. As so o n as th e m o n ey w as arranged, H azur left

a n d th en w e have to go. N o b o d y know s you in this area a n d you have to go alone." I replied,
"You are always w ith m e Sache Patshah." H e sen t a yo u n g boy w ith me. H e w as Rai Bahadu's

laughed a n d said, "Yes, Sache Patshah, there is n o th in g to fear now ." H azur said, "No, Bibi,
th e G uru w h o is sending you, H e is n o t w orried for you. H e takes care o f you." I bow ed m y

to th e statio n to give m e everything else I needed. He always used to b ring specially selected
fruit for Hazur. I arrived at D alhousie at 5:00 p.m . w ith th e grace o f Hazur. W h en I reached
th e statio n at D alhousie, Babu Jagdishchand was stan d in g th ere as h e h a d com e to m eet

"Bibi, I will take all th e luggage a n d leave it in th e h o u se w here y o u are staying." I got o u t o f

said, "My Satguru is great." He h a d already to ld m e w h e n I was leaving, "Kako, go, Soam i Ji
is w ith you." At 9:00 p.m . I reached th e kothi. I did n o t have th e key for th e h o u se as th e key

28
was still w ith th e English lady. So I w en t to th e English lady a n d b ro u g h t th e key back. W hen
I o p en ed th e door, th e h o u se was n o t clean. I th o u g h t a b o u t the Satguru com ing to m o rro w

sevadar Jadish b ro u g h t from his house. I decorated th e h o u se before H azur arrived. There
was Dewali (a H in d u festival day) th e next d a y so I cooked som e sweets an d som e food.
Som e p eople b ro u g h t coals a n d som e teapots. I asked, "W ho has sent all these things?" They
said, "Sahib, th e ir officer sen t th em all." I could n o t u n d e rsta n d w h o th e ir officer was. In m y

m e a n d h elp in g me. At 1:00 p.m ., H azur arrived at th e h ouse w ith His face shin in g like th e
su n a n d w ith a charm ing gait, before this sinful m aid w h o has becom e u n fo rtu n a te at this

see H azur a n d I have n o w ords to express m y joy at th a t tim e. The G orkha peo p le w ere also
there. They h a d already arrived before H azur's arrival. Looking at Hazur, they sang the song:

"My destiny has bloomed. Oh, Dear ones, my Satguru has come.
W ith love, I am putting a garland o f pearls and jewels around His neck.
A royal chair is placed for H im to sit on."

A chair was placed o n th e porch. W ith His beautiful sh ining face, D ata Ji sat in th e chair.
C losing m y eyes a n d w ith full atten tio n , I sang a song to Sache Patshah. People bow ed th eir
heads a n d I also to u ch e d His feet. H azur placed His soft a n d beautiful h a n d o n m y head.
H azu r looked very h a p p y a n d th e n lovingly said, "Let us go a n d have a look at yo u r kothi."
As so o n as H e entered th e ro o m H e said, "O h, th e koth i is decorated very nicely W hen did
y o u decorate th is house? I am very h a p p y w ith you. You w orked very hard." I replied, "No
Sache Patshah, it is all d u e to your grace a n d pow er th a t I have been able to do all th e w o rk ."
D ata Ji gave m e a lo t o f happiness. M unshi Ram, Bhagat Singh, H am arayan Singh a n d the
driver Saw roop Singh, w ere also w ith D ata Ji. D ata Ji ate th e fo o d a n d th e n H e offered fo o d
to everyone.
In th e evening, H azu r w ent o u t o f th e h o u se an d started lo oking a t th e trees o n th e hill.
I cam e o u t a n d said, "Hazur, these trees are very green a n d tall. They lo o k very beautiful."
H azu r said, "Yes, Kako, I am lo o k in g at th em . They have b een w aiting for m e for a lo n g

w ords I said, "You are great a n d you are all pow erful in this universe a n d you know all the
secrets." H azu r laughed. I got th e im pression th a t H azur was telling m e a secret a b o u t th e
trees. T hen H azur said, "Look Kako, n o o n e can u n d e rsta n d the actions o f th e Saints. The
Saints have u n lim ite d pow er o f spirituality." W h en it was evening, H azur said, "Kako, to d ay
is D ew ali a n d w e have com e to yo u r house. There aren 't any sweets o r candles. W hat will
I give to th e sangat as parshad? The sangat is sitting a n d w aiting for parshad." I said, "Yes,
D ata Ji I am going to light th e candles a n d deeps (clay bow ls filled w ith m u stard oil a n d a
co tto n stick o n o n e side to light) a n d w ill b rin g th e sweets w hich I cooked at night." H e
said, "Also, light th e deeps inside to o ." H e laughed a n d said, "It is an expensive business.
Okay, I am still h a p p y w ith that. This h o u se is perfect for do in g sim ran a n d m ed itation. At
th is place th e so u n d w ill echo in such a way th a t it w ill be difficult to h ear it's vibration. You

W ith b o th His h a n d s filled w ith sweets, D ata Ji gave th e p arsh ad to Bhagat Singh, M unshi

Story #24:
The Second Visit to Dalhousie

D uring th e sam e sum m er, in th e m o n th o f Jeth (May) a n d after th e m o n th o f Baisakh

(April), H azur w en t to th e hill statio n at D alhousie. H e always to ld m e before H e left, th a t
often, o u t o f joy m any satsangies w o u ld already b e in D alhousie. O n e day before H azur's
arrival I reached th e residence a n d d id th e cleaning a n d arranging o f everything in th e ro o m s
a n d I w ent outside, a n d all o f a su d d en I saw an old m a n sitting o n a bench. His n a m e was
B ishan Singh. H e asked me, "Bibi Ji, is this a residence o f Radha Soam i?" I said, "Yes Baba Ji."
T hen he asked m e a b o u t H azur's arrival. I to ld h im H azu r w o u ld be arriving th e next day at
o n e o'clock. I asked Baba Ji if he w o u ld like to have a cup o f tea. H e said, "No Bibi Ji, I have to
m eet H im a n d I will com e tom orrow ." I said, "Okay, give y o u r D arshan to m o rro w a n d com e."
The next day Baba Ji cam e at eleven o'clock a n d sat o n th e bench. At exactly o n e o'clock,
H azur appeared w ith His sh in in g b eard a n d sm iling like a flower in b lo o m . H e cam e o n
to th e porch a n d sat in th e chair w hich was ready for H im . I to o k Baba Ji in th e ro o m
a n d asked H im to sit o n th e sofa. I w e n t to H azu r a n d bow ed m y h e a d at His feet a n d
H azu r blessed me, raising His h a n d over m y h e a d a n d looking at m e w ith His loving eyes
w hich m ad e m e very happy. H azur said, "O kay Bibi Ji, I have com e to y o u r h o u se an d
fulfilled all o f yo u r desires as you to ld m e th a t you w an ted to serve m e for six m onths.
N ow you do th e seva. I have fulfilled y o u r desire. N ow y o u w ill accept th e tru th a n d b e ­
lieve m e." I begged p a rd o n folding b o th m y h a n d s a n d said, "I have m ad e a m istake, Sat-
guru. Your w ords are always tru e a n d th ey can never b e false. The m in d always deceives us."
M asters are never tem p te d w ith th e buildings o r by su m m e r o r w inter. They always read
th e m in d s o f th e lovers o f G od a n d fulfill th e ir desires a n d accept th e ir services happily.
W hen H azu r was leaving th is w orld, H e h a d n o th in g to do w ith w orldly things at all.
O n e day I asked Hazur, "Your are n o t do in g well. W hat w ill h a p p e n to these big buildings
for th e sangat a n d th e w h o le dera?" T hen h e said, "It d o e sn 't m atte r to m e. I have played
m y good p art o f th e gam es o f life. The b ird o f n atu re (BulBul) has tak en h e r n est away from
th e tree a n d n ow it d o e sn 't m atter if th e candle b u m s o r not. So w h a t do these buildings
m ean to me? These are n o t m y glory. M y glory is in th e lap o f m y Master, m y G um , so u n d o r
Shabad. I serve a t th e w ill o f m y Satguru. W h at H e wills, I am hap p y to d o for H im . Saints are
n o t th e prisoners o f w orldly things. They are always free like th e birds (M urgabi.) The w ater
bird always dwells in water, b u t w h en she flies, she flies w ith dry wings. Saints have fam ilies
a n d children, b u t they are always detached despite d o in g everything." (So these are th e M as­
ter's w ords w h e n He was sick. I rem em bered n o w w hy h e was speaking differently different
before H e fell sick. T hat is w hy I w rote these w ords in betw een w h e n I rem em bered His
w ords.) T hen I asked D ata Ji to go inside a n d w ash His h a n d s a n d face a n d to eat so m eth in g
because a sardar (Sikh o r "b eardm an") was w aiting for H im . H e was sitting in th e big room .
H azur said to me, "Kako, let us see th e sardar first, th e n I w ill w ash m y h a n d s an d face."
W hen D ata Ji w en t in to th e big ro o m to see th e m an, th e m a n sto o d u p w ith his h a n d s

As it is w ritten in th e G uru G ranth Sahib, th e h o ly b o o k o f th e ten Sikh Gurus, in Punjabi:

So Baba Ji h a d a th irte e n year o ld g randdaughter a n d tw o little grandsons. Like this,

O ne day early in th e m orning, H azur said to me, "Kako, if Baba Bishan Das could com e

boys w ere com ing back a n d th e gran d d au g h ter cam e crying. H azur's servants recognized the
g randdaughter a n d said, "She is th e gran d d au g h ter o f Baba Ji." They asked her, "D ear child,
w hy are you crying?" She explained th a t h e r Baba Ji fell dow n. W h en th e servants w en t to
see him , he was lying dead. They to o k h im o n th e cot a n d left h im at his residence. In th e

to com e here every day, is dead." I to ld h e r th a t w h a t she was telling m e I co u ld n o t believe,
because th e lovers o f th e Loved O ne are always dear ones. T hen H azu r cam e o u t o f th e ro o m
a n d said, "Bibi, Sardar Bishan Singh has left th e body. I have to go because his children
m ig h t be crying by h im ." I said, "No, Sache Patshah, you s h o u ld n 't go, it is raining heavily
a n d it is very cold. I w ill go." H azu r said, "Okay, Kako, w h en w ill y o u go?" I said, "If I go in
th e m orning, it is n o t goo d to leave th e ch ild ren alone by th e dead body." H azu r said, "Okay
Bibi, as y o u th in k it well, you can do." I w ish ed H azur goodnight, b ow ed m y h e a d a n d got
leave from Hazur. T h en I w ent to Baba Ji's residence. W hen I arrived, I saw Baba Ji lying dead
a n d th e youngest ch ild crying. Both th e b ro th e r a n d sister w ere crying by th e dead body. I
to o k th e children in m y lap a n d loved th e m a n d encouraged th em . I to ld th e m th a t w e were
all w ith th em a n d th a t w e will take care o f them . The children w ent to sleep a n d I sat beside
th e dead b o d y all night. I th o u g h t I sh o u ld give H azur all th e in fo rm a tio n to know w h a t
w e h a d to do. H azur's servant K rishan arrived at 4:00 a.m . I w ent to H azur's residence w ith
Krishan. At 5:00 a.m ., I arrived a n d saw th a t H azur was already stan d in g outside. H e said,
"We sh o u ld go now. I w as w aiting for y o u to know w h a t to do next. Such things are know n
to w o m en only." Sache P atshah h a d n u m ero u s virtues. H e used to do th e seva only for th o se
w h o deserved it. I asked Hazur, "You k n o w everything an d have n o t forgotten anything."
D ata Ji said, "No, Kako, y o u tell m e w h a t to do." I said, "We are n o t to crem ate th e p erso n
w ith a w hite coffin because h e w as a friend o f a big power." D ata Ji always accepted m y re­
quests. T hen H azu r said, "Kako, you yourself go to th e m arket an d b rin g w hatever you need
for crem ation." I said, "Okay, Satguru Ji." I w en t to th e m arket a n d b o u g h t everything. D ata
Ji said, "Kako, th a t is w hy I finished all th e w ork yesterday. You w ere feeling nervous. This
w as th e reason, th a t Bishan Singh w o u ld n o t b e alive today. Therefore, H azur said it was His
M aster's grace th a t Baba cam e to m e because we have to take care o f th e dear ones du rin g
old age, even th o u g h h e sp en t his c h ild h o o d a n d y o u th w ith m e a n d th e n left. H e jo in ed
m e again because h e was to die a respectable d eath in th e co m p an y o f th e goo d satsangies

becam e clean. N o, h e will n o t go th ro u g h th e cycle o f births. H e will go to th e go o d place.
Saints are Saints by birth , b u t th ere is little veil o f secrecy betw een th em . W hen they grow
up, th ey expose them selves. T hose w h o keep friendship w ith Saints never go unrew arded."
I said, "That is true, b u t y o u know b etter a n d to w h o m y o u w an t to let know." After talking
all a b o u t it H e left for th e residence o f Baba Ji. As so o n as H azur arrived at th e residence H e
uncovered th e face o f Baba Ji a n d starting saying, "At last you have h o n o re d o u r friendship,
after fifty-five years o f departure." I b ro u g h t ghee, a silken coffin a n d everything purchased
from th e m arket. D ata Ji gave h im a b ath , dressed him , m ad e h im sit o n th e chair a n d to o k a
picture w ith him . H azu r said, "Kako, if his so n saw th a t his father has left in such a w o n d er­
ful way, he w o u ld be very happy." Sache P atshah p u t Baba Ji's b o d y o n th e w o o d e n b o ard
w hich h e h a d also decorated. H e th e n lifted th e b o a rd o n to His o w n shoulders an d carried
it to th e graveyard.
H azur crem ated th e b o d y him self. There h a d been a heavy rain lasting for eighteen days
before th e crem ation day. But o n th a t day th ere was n o rain a n d th e sky was clear. W hen th e
b o d y was m ore th a n h a lf b u rn ed , H azu r left. W h en D ata Ji was halfw ay back to His resi­
dence, th e sky becam e overcast. W h en H azu r arrived at H is residence, it started rain in g heav­
ily. W hen H azur arrived at Baba Ji's residence, H e asked a b o u t w h a t to do w ith th e children.
If th e children w ere left th ere alone, th ey w o u ld cry. N o o n e o f a p p ro p riate age o r w isd o m
was w ith them . T hen H azu r said, "If we take these children w ith us, p eople m ay th in k th a t
we have taken everything from Baba Ji's house." I said, "All right, we can lo c k th e residence
in fro n t o f all th e p eo p le a n d leave th e servant to take care o f th e children a n d m ake arrange­
m ents for th e m to sleep in th e porch. Then, w e can take th e children w ith us to sleep in th e
house.
D ata Ji called so m eo n e to b rin g th e riksha (three w heel seated coach) a n d to o k th e chil­
d ren w ith h im to His residence in th e rain. W hen they reached th e residence, I cooked th e
food, gave th e ch ildren a b a th , dressed th em a n d gave th e m food. The children forgot th eir
p a in a n d suffering w ith H azur's love.
Ten days after Baba Ji's death, his so n arrived at o u r residence. H e saw th a t his children
w ere happy. H e h eard all a b o u t his father fro m th e children a n d becam e very happy. H e
th a n k e d H azur again a n d again. D ata Ji m et h im lovingly. H azur said, "Brother, I d id n o t
d o anything. Bibi to o k care o f everything a n d gave a lo t o f love to y o u r children." He said,
"Yes, Satguru Ji, I am very grateful to Bibi Ji, to o ." T hen h e said to Hazur, "D ata Ji, you have
always been k in d to m y grandfather a n d you gave h im a p ro m o tio n as overseer at his job."

It was th e n th a t I cam e to k n o w th a t h e was Baba Ji's grandson a n d th e kids were Baba

Ji's great grandsons a n d great granddaughter. D ata Ji k ep t h im w ith H im for th ree days. H e
(the grandson) said, "D ata Ji, w hatever the expenses are for m y grandfather, I w ill pay it all."
D ata Ji said, "No, Brother, I will n o t take yo u r m oney." The gran d so n replied, "N o Hazur, in
such a far place you arranged everything for m y grandfather a n d to o k care o f m y children.
T hat is to o m uch. I have to pay all these expenses." D ata Ji said, "No, Brother, th e children
w h o were his (Baba Ji's) grandchildren, they are ours, to o ." H e said, "O f course D ata Ji, b u t
I m u st pay five-hundred rupees."
T hen D ata Ji asked m e, "Kako, w h a t is th is b o y saying?" I said, "No, son, D ata Ji does
everything for everyone w h o is in need in th is w orld. D ata Ji considered Baba Ji as His ow n
brother, so D ata Ji has m o re o f a right to sp en d m o n ey o n Baba Ji. You d o n 't have m o re right
th a n H azur because Baba Ji was H azur's b ro th e r a n d y o u r grandfather. No, no, brother, we
w ill take n o th in g from you. "At th is th e p o o r fellow kept quiet. H azur th e n h a n d e d over all

goodbye. T hen h e left happily.
Satguru Ji always d id goo d for others. H e even gave m edicine to snakes, w hich m ea n t H e
even treated b a d p eo p le well. This was n o th in g for Hazur, he did great w ork for every soul.

Story #25:
Story o f Bhagat Singh, Sohan Lal, and Radha Krishan (All legal officers)

(Translators Note: Here Bibi Lajo is telling the story o f what happened at the time she was writ­
ing this book; told by Hazur four years before He left the body, in the house in Dalhousie, sitting
with the lawyers named Bhagat Singh, Sohan Lal and Radha Krishan.)

O ne day w h e n D ata li cam e back to th e h o u se after his evening walk, H e sat in the big
hall o f His residence in D alhousie. All o f th e peo p le in th e h o u se sat a ro u n d him . H azur
called m e a n d I appeared im m ediately. H e said, "Kako, is th e food ready?" I said, "Yes, Sache
Patshah, it is." T hen H e said, "Okay, Bibi, let m e talk to these p eo p le a n d th e n I w ill eat."
I replied, "Okay Satguru li." R adha K rishan said to Hazur, "There is a very b a d situ atio n in
Calcutta." (C alcutta is a big h a rb o r in th e east o f India.) D ata Ji said, "Yes, brother, it is a
fight betw een th e H in d u s a n d th e M uslim s. It is n o t thro u g h , it w ill w orsen." Bhagat Singh
said, "H azur this side is safe w ith y o u r grace." H azur said, "Yes, brother, u p to n o w it is safe,
b u t this place is also n o t going to b e safe in th e future." Radha K rishan asked Hazur, W hich
places are n o t safe?" H azur said, "Brother, d o n 't ask a b o u t it, it is really b a d to let you know."
Bhagat Singh said, "Hazur, w e can o nly ask you." H azu r said, " Look brother, th e city o f
A m ristsar a n d th e city o f Lahor w ill b e b ad ly affected, b u t m o st o f th e city o f Lahor will be
very critical." Radha Krishan asked a b o u t th e city o f M ultan (in Pakistan now .) H azur said,
"M ultan w ill b e in danger a n d it is b e y o n d explanation w h a t is going to h a p p e n there." Bha­
gat Singh asked a b o u t Ju llu n d h ar (a city close to Beas D era in Punjab.) H e asked H azur for
its safety. Laughing, H azur said, "The village is going to b e ru in ed a n d th e talkative m a n is
w orried a b o u t his talk a n d w ith w h o m w ill h e talk. A nd you are w orried a b o u t lu llundhar."
Everybody laughed at H azur's teasing w ords. Again, D ata Ji in H is kindness said, "Look
brother, y o u r Ju llu n d h ar city w ill n o t be affected. It w ill rem ain safe a n d so u n d . It is M aster's
grace in th a t direction. There w ill b e a little disturbance, b u t th e H in d u s w ill have th e vic­
tory. There w ill b e n o h ard sh ip for th e H indus." Bhagat Singh becam e happy. Radha Krishan
asked, "W hat w ill h a p p e n to th e satsangies in th e areas w here th e disturbances will occur?"
H azur said, "Look brother, we are responsible for th e satsangies. Even th o u g h th e satsangies
d o n 't believe yet, th e Saints are always k in d to th e m a n d w ill save a n d help th e m in th e h o u r
o f difficulty. We w ill save them , th o u g h I have to sacrifice m y life. Saints are kept o n standby
for th eir w orshippers. W henever th ey are in trouble, th e Saints will h elp th em ." T hen H azur
heaved a lo n g sigh a n d lo oked at me, "Okay, Bibi, w h a t is going to happen? You see w ith
yo u r eyes, n o w b rin g th e food a n d I w ill eat now ." It is tim e w hich changes so slowly.
I b ro u g h t th e food. H azur ate th e fo o d lovingly. T hen Bhagat Singh a n d Radha Kris­
h a n said to me, "Bibi, please h e lp us today. We are really scared from H azur's last w ords.
S om ehow get these w ords back fro m H azu r a n d w e w a n t to beg p a rd o n from him ." I said,
"I w ill try to ask, b u t w henever y o u sit w ith Hazur, always say good things, d o n 't ask such
questions. Look, Bibi, please ask o n o u r behalf, th e n w e will see w h a t His grace is." I said,
"Brother, w h e n th e arrows are already draw n from th e bow, th ey can never com e back. W hat
order was to com e it has com e. T he w h o le w orld m ay b e turned, b u t w h en th e w ords com e

34
from H azur's m o u th , th ey can never be tu rn e d back." A little angrily I said, "O kay brothers,
I w ill try to obey you, b u t H azur will never agree."
W hen D ata Ji was d o n e w ith His food, I laughed. W ith a sm ile, D ata Ji asked m e, "Kako,
you w a n t to talk a b o u t som ething. W hatever y o u are going to say, I w ill n o t agree to that.
W hatever was to h a p p en , it h ap p en ed . These lawyers are giving you tro u b le for no th in g ." At
th a t tim e, b o th o f th em w ere stan d in g w ith me. They kep t qu iet in fear. I said, "Look, B roth­
ers, d id you h e a r that? N ow d o n 't m ake m e responsible. You can say n o th in g m o re to me."
They said, "You already w ere n o t w illing to say anything." I replied, "No, Brothers, Saints
never take th e ir w ords back. W hen D ata Ji says there w ill b e danger, H e stands by that. There
is n o need to worry."

T ranslator's Note: An aside by Bibi w hile telling this Story:

" O h, m y Satguru's w ords w ere very true a n d we could n o t u n d e rsta n d His directions. H e
sacrificed His life for th e sake o f th e satsangies. H e saved all th e satsangies a n d has h id d e n
Him self, too. I w o u ld n o t be able to see H im again after. T hose w h o m ed itate w o u ld b e able
to see H im inside the p lan e t o f Sachkhand, b u t h e w o u ld never b e seen physically. Such
great Param Saints never ap p ear in such a way as H e appeared to save a n d help everybody.
Such a G reat M aster h a d ever com e a n d w o u ld never com e again. G od H im self cam e a n d
gave everybody goodness secretly a n d left all o f us a n d w e d id n o t give en o u g h respect to
H im . There is n o th in g left except m ourning. Everybody sh o u ld n ow do a lo t o f m ed itatio n
a n d keep His en ch an tin g appearance before th eir eyes. All sh o u ld n o t forget H im even for
a m inute."
(After w riting all this, Bibi co n tin u ed w ith th e story from w here she left off.)
The next n ig h t after dinner, H azur was sitting in His bed. It was 10:00 p.m . H azu r always
tied a little scarf o n His h e a d before H e slept. H e said to me, "Kako, give m e a sm all piece
o f cloth an d a big one." H azur gave m e a n u n tie d scarf from His head. I said, "Okay," a n d
b ro u g h t a sm all piece o f cloth from His closet a n d p u t it in to His hands. N ow H azur o p en ed
it a n d saw th a t it h a d a little tear. W h en I saw it, I to o k it back from His hands, a n d b ro u g h t
a n o th e r new cloth. The o n e w hich was to m , I to u ch ed to m y head, th e n to u ch e d m y face
w ith it. H azur said, " Kako, w h a t w ill y o u do w ith th is to m piece o f cloth?" I folded m y
h a n d s an d requested, "Hazur, th ere is n o th in g o f value left to m e in this w orld, except this
piece o f cloth. This is th e greatest gift. So, I w ill inlay it in a glass fram e, a n d w ill place it in
som e high, h id d e n place. We can get w ealth in th is w orld, b u t n o t a gift like this. It is difficult
to get th e belongings o f a Perfect M aster."
Even at th a t tim e R adhakrishan a n d Bhagat Singh a n d H azur's youngest so n w ere sitting
there. D ata Ji said, "Very goo d Kako. I was n o t asking you, b u t I w an ted to know h o w y ou
feel a b o u t m y things. I am very h a p p y to hear all a b o u t th is from you. N ow I w ill tell y o u
m y ow n story:
"W hen Soam i Ji left th e body, Soam i Ji's lady disciple h a d three things th a t b elonged to
Soam i Ji. O ne was a w rapping cloth h e p u t a ro u n d his waist. O ne was a p a ir o f w o o d en flat
shoes. The th ird w as Soam i Ji's parshad. The p o o r disciple was crying, th in k in g to w h o m
she sh o u ld give all o f these things. For she was th in k in g th a t n o b o d y deserved to have those
th ree things. W h en I w ent to Agra, th is lady disciple placed all o f these things before me, a n d
started crying a n d said, "Sawan Ji, y o u are th e o nly o n e w h o deserve to have them ." So Kako,
all th o se three things I still have w ith me, a n d I have kept th em w ith a great respect. A nd th e
parshad, I ate all o f it. After eating, w hatever I felt, th e delightfulness o f th e p arshad's effect,
I c a n n o t explain. I am very grateful to th a t Bibi, to th a t lady. M ay Satguru give h e r a place in
Sachkhand, w h o gave m e such a great th in g a n d such great w ealth."
"You tell m e, Kako, if y o u do such a great seva for these three g en tlem an here. W hat
rew ard do th ey give to y o u in return?" I said, "Today's disciple forgets every service given to
th em . W hen y o u get a little irritated, o r do n o t accept th e ir d em and, they th e n feel angry,
too. If I'm helpless to fulfill th eir desire just o n e tim e, they get im m ediately angry w ith m e."

35
 Hazur laughed and said, "What does it avail them in the end? Those who are worried for
Guru's love; always love the Guru's lovers too. Majnu (a true lover o f Princess Laila) loved
Laila's dog. He used to kiss that dog's feet, because that dog used to walk in his beloved's
street. Those who love or serve Saints should be loved by us." I said, "Data Ji, who can serve
the Saints without their grace and directions? Otherwise we all are frail human beings, and
cannot reach the door o f the Saints."
Data Ji said, "No doubt, Kako, you are saying the right thing, but the people surrounded
with the materialistic world can never understand. They lightly take the actions o f the Saint
as if done in fun. Due to this attitude o f most people, the Saints are not respected. They
don't understand the reality o f the Saints. Then they also complain that the meditation is a
difficult job, and remain helpless to do the meditation."

Hearing Hazur's talk everyone there kept quiet and were surprised to hear that.

Data Ji continued, "Kako, Saints' belongings also should be given the same respect as you
give respect to the Saints. If you don't respect the Saints belongings, then you will be unable
to give them respect. But even then it is our duty to give them as much respect as we can."
When Data Ji was talking about all the above, He was looking very radiant and beautiful
to me. An electric lamp was attached next to the Master's bed, and the light was on. The light
was falling on His face, and the Master was looking very happy in that light, and His teeth
could be seen shining like white, unbloom ed little roses. His brightness was so strong that
nobody could say anything. His beauty was inexpressible. I said, "Sache Patshah, take rest
now. It's too late now." Data Ji said, "Okay Bibi, I will take rest now. Go brothers, you also
take rest." They left and Sache Patshah retired to be lost in His meditation. We all bowed our
heads to say goodbye, and went out o f His room after having Darshan.
Hazur always used to sleep alone in His room. He used to say that even if any animal was
in the room, he couldn't sleep. So, no one could stay in His bedroom. Hazur used to sleep
very little. Instead, he would use the nights to visit his spiritual country through meditation.
He always used to say before going to sleep, "Okay Kako, you might be tired. You serve ev­
erybody all o f the day." I used to answer, "No, Sache Patshah, I have got this seva with your
grace. And it is still not enough for me." Then he used to reply, "No, there is a lot o f seva yet
for you to do."

Story #26:
The Story In Dalhousie
One night Hazur came and sat in the room belonging to Judge Sahib after His evening
walk. He started talking about spirituality with satsangies who were sitting in the room. It
was looking as if He were lost in thought. I went into the kitchen, and brought some food
for Hazur and requested with folded hands, "Satguru Ji, please eat the food now. It is already
ten o'clock."
Hazur said, " Yes, Kako, it is your fault that you did not come before to call me for food.
Now you have come and I don't get up from here for the food. Let's go. I obey you" I said,
"Sache Patshah, we have to obey yo u !"
Hazur said, "Okay, Kako as you say. That is also right." Satguru Ji laughed, and got up and
said, "Okay brothers, I have to go now because Bibi has come to call me for food. She will
not be at ease until I eat food."
Satguru Ji had a majestic gait when he left the room. I placed the plate before him. Sache
Patshah used to always do meditation for a half hour before partaking o f the food before Him.

He always used to clean His teeth after eating. He was very particular about cleaning His
teeth and mouth with a brush and water after eating. He was particular about washing His
hands after having food. He was particular about the time for sleep and the time for waking

I said, "Late last n ig h t y o u did th a t job, a n d w h a t d id you do th is m orning?" H azur said,
"Bibi, n o w th ey all are sitting safely at hom e, a n d saying th a t Satguru is great, a n d are re­

steal th e hearts o f th e loved ones, a n d I steal th e m before anyone steals me. A nd it is all th e
grace o f m y Baba Ji (Jaim al Singh)."
M y Satguru Ji was great w h o always gave all credit to his Guru, a n d w o u ld never give
any a d u la tio n to him self. H azur co n tin u ed . "So, Baba Jaim al Singh was th e great o n e w h o

T hen H azu r said, "Kako, you are sitting intoxicated by listening to m y w ords, a n d have
forgotten to cook th e fo o d for me. You have forgotten everything." T hen he laughed h eart­
ily, a n d said, "You are ju st like th e o n e w h o h a d th e Q u ran (holy b o o k ) w ith you, b u t w ere
lo o k in g for it som ew here else, a n d forgot to p u t it back in its h o ly place (Kaaba)."
O n th a t very night, w h e n H azu r was going to bed, I bow ed m y head a n d w ished H im
goodnight. H e said, "Kako, I will get u p late in th e m orning. D o n o t worry." I said, "Are you

a n d get you up?" H azu r said, "At 9:00 a.m ." I said, "Okay Sache Patshah, take care."
So, I got u p at 6:00 a.m ., a n d started b le n d in g th e yogurt in o rd er to m ake fresh butter.
I always h a d o n e buffalo a n d o n e cow w ith m e w herever H azur u sed to go. I was b len d in g

I started th in k in g that, Satguru Ji, w h o knew everything th a t I was thinking, was w ishing

At th a t tim e, D ata Ji w as busy in talking w ith th e o th e r satsangies outside. H e heard th e

was stan d in g b e h in d m e, an d w as laughing as H e was listening to m y h o ly song a n d said,
"O h m y child! You are singing very h ap p ily But, give m e th e b u tte r now, so th a t I can go back

At th a t tim e, m y joy knew n o b o u n d s, a n d I could n o t th in k o f anything except offering

said after eating th e butter, "Kako, n o w let m e finish m y talk w ith th e satsangies. I could n o t

It is inexpressible h o w fully satisfied m y h eart was a t th a t tim e, a n d h o w it was over­

O h, Satguru! You are th e gracious One. You excused a n d forgave so m an y o f us sinners.

After d o in g prayer, H azur started eating. I to o k th e lady o u t o f th e ro o m an d asked h e r
w h a t she w anted to say. She started to relate th e story th a t som e o f th e astrologers o f th e city
Solan in th e H im alayas forecasted th a t th ere w o u ld be a big snow storm a n d th a t all o f the
area w o u ld be covered a n d n o b o d y w o u ld survive. So she, w ith h e r children stayed inside
th e house. T hat very nig h t at a b o u t 2:00 a.m., th e snow storm came. The big hills were covered
w ith snow a n d th e houses were covered. Som e o f th e hills were sliding dow n w ith along w ith
the houses b u ilt o n them . My house was com pletely covered too. So I started doing sim ran
w hile sitting w ith m y family. She co n tinued rem em bering Hazur. There was n o way to go o u t­
side as it was all dark a n d n o b o d y could com e to help. Suddenly, I tried to peep th rough the
hole by cleaning the window. She saw three faces an d there was bright light o n the faces. She
recognized th e face o f Hazur, b u t she could n o t see th e o th er tw o faces. At th a t tim e she heard
H azur saying th a t she sh o u ld n o t w orry a n d th a t her h ouse w ould be safe. H earing these w ords
she tried to go outside, b u t due to b a d snow she could n o t m ake it. Then she again w ent back
to look through th e h o le in th e w indow. She saw all three faces h a d disappeared. She becam e
very sad. In the m o rn in g she saw th a t m o st o f th e houses were b uried u n d e r th e snow a n d th a t
only h er h ouse was n o t covered w ith snow, w ith o u t being dam aged. She w anted to tell H azur
a n d w anted know a b o u t the other tw o faces .
W hen H azur w as d o n e w ith his fo o d H e called m e. "Kako, b rin g th e lady in." I laugh­
ingly said, "Hazur, th ere is a w onderful story this lady w ants to tell y o u ." H azu r laughed an d
said, "W hat is it about?" I said, "Hazur, y o u do everything a n d th e n becom e in n o ce n t before
us. Please listen to h e r story." I b ro u g h t th e lady in a n d H azur asked h e r if she was happy.
The lady said th a t she was very h a p p y w h e n she h a d His D arsh an o n th a t storm y night. T hen
she related th e w h o le story. T hen she asked Hazur, "W ho w ere th e o th er two?" H azur said,
"Look Bibi, I cam e to h elp y o u a n d m y Satguru Baba Jaim al Singh Ji cam e to take care o f me.
Then, as Baba Ji is th e so n o f Soam i Ji, so th e n Soam i Ji cam e to take care o f His son. But
you could only see m e. This is o n ly th e gam e o f m y Satguru Ji. I am n o th in g w ith o u t H im . I
am o n ly His servant. I am tie d w ith His order. As it is w ritten in th e H oly Book, "You com e
a n d go tied w ith His order a n d y o u keep o n going, tie d w ith His order. I have to obey H im .
W herever H e sends m e I have to go a n d th e w h o le gam e H e is playing b e h in d me."
H azur was great. H e never praised him self. H e never show ed th a t H e h a d d o n e any
m iracles. T hen th e o ld lady said th a t she is full o f m an y sins a n d she requested H azur to
listen to so m eth in g m o re from her. H azu r said, "W hat is that?" She said, "D ata Ji, y o u cam e
to protect me, b u t I could do n o th in g for you." She co n tin u e d telling w h a t h a p p e n ed later
after H azur h a d saved her. Tikka Sahib a n d h er youngest girl cam e to pick h e r up in th eir
car w h en th e roads w ere cleared, b u t o n th e way th ere was a car accident. T heir car totally
sm ashed away th e o th e r car a n d th e car was totally gone. The driver o f th a t car died o n th e
sp o t a n d th e o th er m a n was b a d ly injured. She k ep t o n saying, "Before o u r car was hit, we
all were lifted a n d w ere th ro w n outside. But we could n o t m ake o u t how. Later, th e driver o f
o u r car said th a t h e saw an o ld m a n lifting all o f us o n e by one. W hen w e saw o u r car it was
just a heap lying o n th e ground. T hen th e driver said th a t th e w h ite b eard ed m a n h a d a stick
in his h a n d a n d a red piece o f cloth. T hat is w h a t th e driver saw before th e accident occurred.
I never saw th a t m a n a n d I do n o t know w h e n h e disappeared. Let us search for h im w ho
saved o u r lives." The lady fu rth er to ld H azur th a t she to ld th e driver it w as n o t easy to find
th e m a n because h e was n o t an ord in ary m an. H e w as G od H im self a n d th e form o f Sound.
The lady co n tin u e d w ith h e r long story a n d H azur lovingly w as listening to her. She fur­
th e r to ld h o w th ey w ere th in k in g a b o u t th is m iracle all th e tim e they w ere w aiting for the

42
bus. W hen th e b u s cam e th ey sat in th e bus b u t th e bus also broke dow n. It was nig h t tim e
a n d th ey started d o in g sim ran an d w ere praying to H azur to help b rin g th em h o m e safely.
T hen they saw a car com ing in w hich th e driver was fam iliar to th e m because h e knew Rani
Sahiba. H e sto p p e d th e car a n d they all reached h o m e safely. O h Satguru Ji, y o u are GOD
a n d we all are sinful. You are th e G reat O n e w h o helps all in th eir tim e o f danger. We are all
h u m a n beings a n d y o u are w ashing o u r b a d karm as. Your N aam an d m ed ita tio n is so strong
th a t n o danger can ap proach anyone in y o u r presence.
The Satguru H azu r said lovingly, "O h M ai (the old lady) I have d o n e n o thing. It is th e
grace o f m y M aster. His pow er is w orking, d u e to w hich I am able to help th e satsangies.
It is th e seva o f His sangat w hich is given to m e to do by His grace. Mayee Ji, y o u also be
th ankful to h im . H e always plays such kinds o f gam es w ith every satsangie. H e is so pow er­

th e m aterialistic w orld in such a w ay th a t they c a n n o t m ake o u t his grace a n d power. Okay
Mayee Ji, y o u consider yo u rself th e luckiest o n e th a t th e Satguru's pow er is w orking in you.
Mayee Ji you have com e to know com pletely th a t Satguru is always present everywhere a n d
in everybody a n d m oreover H e stands by his dear ones in adversity. N o o n e helps y o u in th is
w orld except y o u r Master. Give m o re a n d m o re tim e to sim ran a n d m ed ita tio n a n d do n o t
lo o k here a n d there. Always keep in m in d th a t M aster is w ith you."
Satguru is G reat w h o h a d th e hig h est pow er b u t never show ed it to anyone. H azur again
said to M ayee Ji, "Okay, M ayee Ji, n o w y o u take rest. I am very hap p y w ith you. H e is never
ap art from us." M ayee Ji w ished H azu r goodbye an d th e n left. D ata Ji h a d a little rest an d
th e n gave th e satsang in th e evening. P an d it Ji's son to o k som e pictures o f Satguru Ji a n d
they are still w ith me.
The next m o rn in g H azur was ready to visit th e G urudaw ara, th e h o ly place o f the 10th
G uru G ob in d Singh Ji. H azur to o k H is b a th a n d d ran k His m ilk a n d called P andit Ji to let
h im know th a t H e is ready to go to see th e G urudaw ara. W hen P andit Ji came, H azu r asked
h im if he h a d b e e n th ere before, a n d if he was w illing to go w ith Hazur. T hen H azu r asked
m e if I w anted to go w ith H im . I said, "The G urudaw ara are b u ilt by th e Gurus. W ith m e you
are th e only G uru. You go, Satguru Ji. I see th e G urudaw ara inside every day." H azur said,"
You are correct, hard ly o n e can u n d e rsta n d this. See h o w m any p eo p le are ready to go w ith
me? W hat can I say to them ? Okay Bibi, I am very hap p y w ith you."
I said, "O kay Satguru Ji, you go a n d lo o k at th e G urudaw ara a n d I w ill w ash y o u r clothes
a t hom e." H azu r said, "O kay Bibi, do w hatever you w ant. You do n o t sit idle."
Saying th is to me, D ata Ji laughed a n d sat in to th e m o to rcar a n d w ent to see th e G uru­
dawara. M any p eo p le follow ed H im . H e w ent to see o th er G urudaw aras w hich were b u ilt
by th e ten th G uru Ji. The h ead Priest o f th e G urudaw ara gave a w arm w elcom e to Hazur.
Hazur, w henever H e w en t to see th e G urudaw ara, gave som e m o n ey a n d th e priest gave h im
a piece o f cloth to u ch e d by th e H oly B ook G u m G ranth Sahib Ji. O ne o f th em is still w ith
me. (Translator's Note: Bibi Lajo, th e w riter o f th e b o o k is explaining th a t th e piece o f cloth
w hich was p resented to h e r by H azur is still w ith her.) W hen H azur cam e back His face
was sh in in g like th e full sun. It was unbearable, as if n u m ero u s rays o f light w ere glittering
a ro u n d His face. H e w as w alking w ith a b eau tifu l gait. All th e sangat aro u n d h im was enjoy­
ing his beauty. W h en H e w ent upstairs to H is ro o m he said, "Look Bibi, all th e G urudaw aras
w ere seen, b u t to o m any p eo p le are living a ro u n d th e G um daw ara buildings." I said ,
"W hen th e Saints com e in th is w o rld th ey increase th e p o p u latio n , b u t w h e n they leave it
does n o t lo o k th e same. H azur said, "Yes Bibi, th e garden looks b eautiful w h en th e gardener
is there. W h en th e gardener p lan ts h e is w orried for his plants. H e goes in to th e garden to
take care o f th e p lan ts everyday a n d to check th em if th ey are ready to b lo o m . W h en h e sees
them bloom ing he is very happy. In the sam e way the Saints com e in the world, to initiate the peo­
ple and to m ake their souls green, and w ith m editation they m ake them bloom . The Saints have
always been coming. They have com e and they will keep on com ing in the com ing ages. If there
had n o t been the Saints in the world, the w orld w ould have been b urnt into ashes." After saying

43
th is H azur further said, "Kako, all th e priests m et m e a n d w ere very happy. They gave m e the
sugar cookies as parshad. They w ere very h a p p y to see me. I offered o n e h u n d re d rupees at
th e altar o f th e H oly Book in every G urudaw ara. My p arsh ad is w ith th e reciter, M an Singh.
You take it from him . You have full right o n it." I s a id , "Satguru Ji, it is y o u r highness to give
m e y o u r parshad. I am no th in g . I am equal to th e d o g sitting at y o u r door."
D ata Ji to o k th e p a rsh a d from M an Singh a n d gave it to m e a n d said to m e, "Bibi, keep it
w ith you." I said, "O kay Hazur, th a n k you very m u ch for this kindness." T hen H azur asked
for His fo o d a n d said, "There is a lo t o f w ork to do. T om orrow we have to go to M ala Singh's
house. "I said, "Okay Satguru Ji." I b ro u g h t th e fo o d a n d H azur ate it. H azur always ate tw o
kinds o f vegetables. O n e was daal soup, a n d th e o th e r was green vegetables, w ith tw o th in ,
sm all sized chapaties. If o u t o f joy, I w o u ld b rin g som e extra sweet d ish like rice pudding, He
w o u ld place it off o f th e plate. O r if H e w an ted to, th e n H e w o u ld n o t eat th e rest o f th e fo o d
a n d H e will eat o n ly th e sweet dish. O r H e w ill eat o nly th e food. H e d id n o t d rin k m u ch
w ater w ith His food. H e always ate th e b alan ced food. If som e tim e I w o u ld say, "Hazur,
eat m o re food. You w ork a lo t a n d you w ork all th e day a n d night." T hen H azu r w ould say,
"No, I d o n o t w ork w ith th e strength o f food. I w ork w ith th e strength o f m y Master." I said,
"Hazur, th e food y o u eat it is n o t en ough for you. You do n o t eat e n o u g h to m ake a child
full." O n this H azur said, "The Saints are also children. G um Sahib left his w riting a b o u t
children." (Translator's Note: It says children are careless, children are w orriless a n d they are
always h a p p y w ith w h a t they have. They have n o attachm ent, m ean in g th a t th ey are n o t tied
w ith anything. They are only hungry for love. So th e Saints are also like th e children. They
are always hungry for th e tru e love.)
After this H azur sat in His m ed itatio n . In th e evening Satguru Ji gave th e satsang. Pandit's
wife said th a t if Satguru Ji lo oked a t th e brides clothes, th a t this w o u ld be a blessing, a n d th a t
th e o rn am en ts w o u ld b e th e parshad. (Translators N ote: Bibi tells h o w th e tru e satsangies
w an ted to have His blessings for everything.) I said to Hazur, "Hazur, P andit's wife w ants
to have y o u r blessings for th e b ridal clothes a n d th e ornam ents, so please lo o k at them ."
H azur replied th a t H e could n o t a t th a t tim e, because o f a lo t o f peo p le w ere a ro u n d H im .
At nig h t there w o u ld be less people, so h e said th a t h e w o u ld lo o k at d ie m at night. A nd th e
o rn am e n ts are very expensive a n d they s h o u ld n o t b e sh o w n to th e people.
W hen H azur w as ready to go to His bed, H e called m e to b rin g th e brides clothes a n d th e
ornam ents. At th a t tim e, H azur's younger so n Shadi Lalchand, Pandit, a n d his wife w ere also
in H azur's room . Pandit's sons a n d his daughter's in law w ere also in th e room . Balwant
Kaur was giving m e every dress an d o rn am en t, a n d I was giving th e m to H azu r o n e by one,
a n d H e was giving th em back to me. H azu r said to m e, "Kako, take care o f them ." Balwant
Kaur p u t all "the things in th e b o x an d was very happy. H azur said to P an d it Ji, "Look the
p a th w hich goes to th e m arket. You follow th a t one. The p a th is n o t good o n th e o th er side
o f th e m arket." P an d it Ji said, "Okay Sache P atshah Ji, I w ill follow th e p a th w hich you have
suggested to m e."
T hen H azur to o k som e rest a n d said to m e, "Kako, we will sp en d th e nig h t in M ala
Singh's house." Everyone w h o was sitting in th e ro o m cam e o u t an d asked m e w hy H azur
w an ted to stay th e n ig h t in M ala Singh's house. H e w as a very p o o r m an a n d h e h a d n o t

are you talking abo ut. I do n o t agree w ith you. M ala Singh is a go o d m ed ita to r a n d h e is true
devotee. I am equal for everybody." W hen H azur was w ashing His h an d s a n d I was p o u rin g

H e loves m e very m uch. I respect his love for me. I see n o difference in a go o d o r b a d place.
I on ly lo o k at his tru e devotion. A nd a b o u t th e in itiation, th a t I am n o t giving tonight.
T hough all th e peo p le have th e ir dem ands, th ey do n o t deserve it because th ey have given a

44
lo t o f tro u b le to th e Satguru." I said, "Excuse m e please. I c a n n o t figure o u t w h a t y o u r w ish
is. We all are unaw are o f th e future. You know better w h a t is in store for us." H azur said,
"Kako, do n o t listen to others. You always listen to m e." I said, "O kay Sache Patshah Ji."
T hen H azur said, "Let m e have m y b a th a n d y o u cook th e fo o d for m e. After having lu n ch
I have to see th e sangat a n d th e p o o r M ala Singh. H e m ig h t be w aiting for m e outside. Let
m e fulfill his desire." W hen I cam e out, everybody started to ask m e if H azur h a d agreed n o t
to stay th e n ig h t at M ala Singh's house. I said, "Saints are lovers o f th e true devotion." So we
sh o u ld n o t stop th e m from d o in g anything. We sh o u ld accept w h a t th ey w an t to do."
H azur cam e o u t a n d gave D arshan to everyone. T hen He cam e in a n d ate his food. By th a t
tim e, P an d it Ji cam e to say goodbye to Hazur. H azur said to him , "I am very h a p p y w ith you.
You did a go o d seva for all o f us. You always do m ore sim ran a n d bh ajan , there is a lo t o f
grace o n you. Shabad's form o f Satguru w ill h elp y o u in th e m arriage. N aam is th e highest
pow er in all o f us. M ake th e b est use o f it. O nly th e luckiest o n e can get it. So w hatever you
get w ith y o u r good luck, always respect th a t w ealth. D o n o t w aste it. I m ean to say, pay a lo t
o f atte n tio n to b h a ja n a n d sim ran. Every b rea th is valuable. It has b o u n d less value. D o n o t
lose it for n o reason." (P andit Ji w as sh ed d in g tears hearin g all this from Hazur.) So H azur
c o n tin u e d saying, "Do n o t cry. C hild ren do n o t cry. I am always w ith you, since th e day Sat­
guru gave y o u initiation. The Satguru takes full responsibility for his disciple from th a t day,
a n d stands by him . But th e devotee ca n n o t u n d e rsta n d h im . If th e m ed ita to r is regular a n d
p u n ctu al for m ed itatio n , on ly th e n h e can see his M aster do in g everything for him . Bulleh
Shah, a fam ous Saint, said in His w riting, "We are n o t separated from H im b u t we have n o
eye to see H im . W ith o u t G uru th ere is no o n e for us." After saying these loving w ords, H azur
got ready to go. W hen H azu r got in to th e m otorcar, there was a large a m o u n t o f satsangies
gathered. T here was n o place to stand, for H azu r was sitting in H is m o to rcar a n d we all were
sitting in th e m o to rcar b e h in d th e car in w hich H azur was riding.
O n th e way, th ere was a b eautiful garden a n d H azur sto p p ed th ere because h e w an ted
o u r car to go first. There was a little stream o n th e way to cross. L alchand was also in o u r
m o to rcar because h e cam e w ith us to see o ff Hazur. There was a deep w ater in th e stream so
H azu r w an ted to w atch o u r m o to rcar crossing it so th a t th e w ater m ig h t n o t enter th e car.
W hen D ata Ji saw o u r car in th e water, H e asked Lalchand if th a t was th e sam e stream w hich
com es fro m Sirsa, H is ow n city. L alchand to ld H azur th a t it was th e sam e one. I said, "W hen
o n e tim e we crossed, th e driver m ad e the sewadars drow n. It m ay h a p p e n again w ith us."
H azu r laughed o u t lo u d a n d said," Kako, at th a t tim e we w ere o n ho rse a n d now, you are in

M ala Singh's house.
Note: Mala Singh's story is wonderful. It will be explained in story #31.

Story #31:
Stay at the Devotee Mala Singh's Residence

W hen w e all arrived, H arbans Singh an d Lal Singh looked at th e clay house. They said,
"Bibi, ask H azur w h e th e r we s h o u ld take th e b ed d in g o u t o f th e car o r no t." I said, "My
brother, w hy are y o u teasing m e again an d again. H azur m u st stay th e n ig h t here. So th e n
w hy do y o u force m e for asking H azu r again a n d again. Okay, if y o u force m e to do so I can
ask again." H azur h a d just gotten dow n from th e m o to rcar w h en I, w ith m y folded h an d s
asked H im if w e sh o u ld o p e n th e beds. H azur said, "Yes, Bibi, I m u st stay th e nig h t a t M ala

H azur m et M ala Singh w ith love a n d raised His h a n d s over his head. M ala Singh's joy
knew n o b o u n d s at th a t tim e. T he ro o m h e arranged for H azur was h a lf p arted w ith a w hite
sheet curtain. H alf o f th e ro o m w as fixed for H arbans Singh an d Lalchand to sleep at night.
T he o th er h a lf was arranged for H azu r to sleep. There w ere holes in th e w all replacing th e

45
ventilators a n d th e cool air was com ing in. It was very cold. H e h a d a cot arranged for Ha-

stepped in th a t ro o m H e becam e very h a p p y a n d said, "Kako th e h o u se is very b eau tifu l a n d
m y soul is very happy." I said, "Yes Sache Patshah, it is true." In a hurry I placed all the silver
utensils, w hich I b ro u g h t for H azu r o n th e table. H azur's b e d sheets a n d tow el w ere placed

decorated m y ro o m like m y big ro o m ." H azu r sat o n th e cot. I asked M ala Singh w here th e
b a th ro o m was for Hazur. M ala Singh show ed m e th e place w here th e b a th ro o m was fixed

D ata Ji asked m e w here th e b a th ro o m was. I quietly to o k H azur to show H im H is b a th ro o m .
H azur becam e very h a p p y lo oking at th e b a th ro o m . H azur said, "Kako look, th e b a th ro o m
is very beautiful. The p o o r lover o f m in e did hard w ork to b u ild it for me." I said, "Yes, Sache
Patshah. W hatever looks beautiful to you is really beautiful. Then H azur said, "His house is
very good for b h ajan because it is very lonely. Kako, it is better th a n th e palaces a n d big houses.
Every piece o f stone lying in his house is show ing love for me. Look Kako, leave those big
houses w here there is n o N aam a n d love." H azur was w alking w ith m e an d talking after having

H e w ent inside a n d sat o n His cot a n d said, "Kako, sen d for M ala Singh, I have to talk w ith

except o n e dau g h ter o f th irte e n years o ld a n d she is ready for m arriage now." Sache Patshah
said, "M ala Singh I am very h a p p y w ith you. We w ill do th e m arriage cerem ony for yo u r
daughter. If y o u b ring y o u r d au g h ter in th e dera, th a t w ill b e good. Or, w herever you arrange

brother. As you w ish you do." M ala Singh said, "Data Ji, I am in a great difficulty." H azur said,
"Yes brother, I will listen to you a n d w h at pains an d suffering you have, tell me. D o n o t be
nervous, I am here to keep away your sufferings." H azur gave h im one h o u r to listen to his sad
story. H azur said, "There is no sadness in M aster's house, you will be blessed w ith a son too."
I slowly w hispered in H azur's ear, "Sache Patshah, h e is a very old m an, h o w can it be po s­
sible." H azur laughed an d said, "O h silly child, his wife is already pregnant a n d she will bear
a son." T hen in order to encourage h im H e started saying to M ala Singh, "Brother, bring your
daughter an d wife here." M ala Singh happily w ent to bring his daughter an d wife. H e b rought
his daughter an d wife before Hazur. H azur gave ten rupees to his daughter. M ala Singh told
H azur his wife is pregnant a n d to take care o f her." H azur looked at m e an d laughed. Then
H azur said, "Kako, I to ld you th a t his wife is pregnant a n d will give b irth to a son. You were in
a doubt. I tried to let you know a b o u t it b u t you were n o t believing, look now."
T hen H azu r to ld M ala Singh, "Look, th e w o m en w h o se children die d u rin g b irth, w o m ­

m y Bibi, she w ill tell you th e rem edy." T hen H azur said to me, "Kako, tell h e r th e rem edy so
th a t she m ay n o t face th e sam e fate again." I said, "Okay Satguru." Later I started th in k in g
w h a t I w o u ld tell h e r because I knew n o th in g a b o u t th e rem edy o f h o w th e child could be
saved. I d id n o t go th ro u g h such a k in d o f life. H azur laughed an d said, "Kako, tell anything

because I w an ted it to be explained by you. O therw ise th e p eople will never leave m e. They
will expect th a t I have given a son to M ala Singh a n d everybody w ill m ake th e sam e d e m a n d

After th a t M ala Singh's wife started com ing to ask w h a t she could do. I was th in k in g
w h a t I sh o u ld tell h e r because I d id n o t know anything a b o u t that. So in order to get rid o f

M ala Singh, w h a t do y o u want? Okay, o n e m o re satsang w ill b e given in th e m orning."
(Note: "This story o f Mala Singh's love and devotion for H azur shows that Mala Singh's love over
powered H azur so much that Hazur was accepting everything from M ala Singh happily.)
It w ill be to m o rro w from 8:00 a.m . to 9:00 a.m ." M ala Singh said, "Satguru Ji, th e sangat has

Satguru, after satsang w en t for a walk. M ala Singh show ed H im his land. H e said, "Sat­

H azur said, "Do n o t worry, M aster is w orried for his devotees." M ala Singh said, "The n a m e

W hen H azur cam e back from His walk, R adhakrishan, a n engineer, an d tw o gentlem en were

cause you always keep it full." H azur said, "I am always h a p p y w ith y o u Bibi." I gave th em

love. I never feel difficulty in living in a sm all place. I d o n 't care. I can live even in a tent.
But w here there is love, there are n o rules. Love is th e form o f M aster o r G od." Shadi said,
"Okay, as you w ish." T hen H azur said, "Kako, is th e fo o d ready?" I replied, "Yes Hazur, just

very tasty. H azur said, "I never ate such tasty fo o d before. M ala Singh's ghee is very good."
H azur after eating, lay d o w n for rest. I was w orried for H azur's b a th because it was very
cold outside. All n ig h t I could n o t sleep for th e reason th a t h o w H azur w ill have a b a th in

Som e satsangies cam e to see H azu r in M ala Singh's h o u se a n d requested th a t H e sh o u ld

W hen H azur left M ala Singh's village, H e cam e across th a t village w here th e satsang was
to be held. Those peo p le in th a t area spread th e w h ite sheets from th e ro ad o n th e w ay to

a n d started to go. H e said, "Brother I am very h a p p y w ith all o f you. Your village is full o f
loving people. D id you love yo u r Satguru ever before?"
H azur g o t in to th e m otorcar a n d reached Ropar. A lo t o f peo p le w ere w aiting for His
D arshan. H azur reached th ere a t 12:00 p.m . After giving His D arshan to the sangat, I pre­
p ared th e food. W hen Lalchand was ready to leave for A n an d p u r Sahib, th e n H azu r said,
"Kako serve P a n d it Ji w ith food, I am very h a p p y w ith P andit Ji. H e served all o f us w ith

a n d h e left after having all th e joys a n d parsh ad from Hazur.
At a b o u t 1:15 p.m . H azu r to o k His m eals. T hen u p to 2:00 p.m ., H e d id satsang, a n d
m ad e all th e satsangies very peaceful. The sangat was very happy. The sangat gave a lo t o f
love a n d respect to Hazur. H azur d id th e satsang a n d I w ashed H azur's clothes. Satguru w ent

one, H e ate H is d in n er a n d to o k som e rest. H e was tired because o f th e long travel a n d th e

In th e m o rn in g after having H is b ath , H e got ready to give th e satsang. H e d id m ed ita­

At n ig h t in Ropar I asked H azur laughingly th a t H e said, "You are very happy, a n d have

M eaning - H a m a n = My, Ishak = Love, M astana = M ad, H oshiari = cleverness

M y love is m ad, I have n o th in g to do w ith any k ind o f cleverness.

Prem Lal said, "Bibi, it is raining heavily so how can Sache Patshah come at this time." I said, "I
am very much in need to have Hazur's Darshan." Prem Lal's uncle said, "Okay Bibi, you are very for­
tunate that your attention is always towards Hazur and you never forget him, but Sache Patshah will
not come at this time." I said, "If my heart wants Him truly He must come at this time although He is
sleeping or He is sitting in meditation. Yet He will get up and come to me to give His Darshan." Prem
Lal said, "Okay Bibi. If you are sure, it will be lucky to have Hazur's Darshan." We were just saying all
this when we saw that Hazur, the reader of everybody's heart was coming, wearing a rain coat. I quickly
said, "Uncle, look, Hazur Ji is coming." So the uncle and all of us bowed our heads before Hazur and
greeted Him.
Prem Lal said, "How has Hazur appeared at this time?" Hazur said, "If Bibi remembered me, I
quickly came in the rain. I was not even a little late. Nobody remembers Guru. If somebody remem­
bers Guru one time, Guru comes looking a hundred times further to his disciple. Nobody gives prefer­
ence to the Guru. Guru is always there to give the reward."
Saying these words Hazur asked, "Kako, how are you? Is your fever down? For four or five days
you did not eat anything. You have become weak with fever but will you read the shabd?" I said, "Yes,
which one would you like me to read?" Hazur said, "Kako read this one, HAMAN HAI ISHAK MAS­
TANA, HAMAN KO HOSHIARI KIA."
Hearing this from Hazur everybody folded their hands. Hazur said, "Why are you so surprised?"
Prem Lal said, "Bibi was just saying that she would read the same shabd if Hazur would come." Hazur
laughed and said, "Yes brother, Bibi remembered with a true heart and the Master heard her." lohnson
said, only Bibi could speak. No one else could speak like that. Sache Patshah's heart was so excited
with love that He said, "I will read the shabd." Hazur sat for two hours.

Story #34:
Story o f Travelling to Indore
(A city in the south o f India)
Once the sangat from Indore requested Hazur to visit there. Hazur accepted the request but did
not give any date. Like this three years passed. Hazur never broke the heart of the sangat. So He gave
them time for Indore. Hazur always travelled by motorcar. He said, "Kako arrange everything for food
and get it ready in the boxes. We have to go to Indore, day after tomorrow." So Hazur, with His spiritual
and beautiful look reached Indore at 6:00 a.m. All the satsangies met Hazur with love. The first night
before reaching Indore, Hazur stayed at Delhi but He did not give satsang. People requested for the
Satsang on His way back from Indore. The second day He went to Agra where He also did not give sat­
sang. The third day He reached Indore. He gave His Darshan to the sangat. Deputy Hamarayan, his son
in law and his daughter were there. They arranged for Hazur's residence. The sangat ran for Darshan
as soon as they saw Hazur's motorcar and all were overjoyed with His Darshan and forgot themselves.
Thousands of people gathered in honor of Hazur and were singing a shabd in their love of Hazur. Ha­
zur also gave a lot of love to all of them. He was very happy to see their love for Him. Out of His joy
he was lovingly talking to everyone and giving His Darshan. Deputy Hamarayan took Hazur into the
residence, which was a very big house. It was situated in a lovely place. Data Ji's chair was decorated.
Data Ji sat in the chair and gave His beautiful Darshan and spoke very sweet words and said, "Brother,
you have unlimited love for the Master. I am very happy with all of you. Master is especially kind to
you. Love is the only form of Master. Master is not happy with any material. He is happy with Love.
Master's real residence is in the heart of love. Very good, I am very happy with you." All the satsangies
got peace of mind, hearing Hazur's loving words.

50
 I arranged everything and requested of Hazur, "Let us go and please have some rest. It was a long
journey and you are tired. Take a bath please and eat some food." Sache Patshah said, "Okay Bibi, let
us go." Give me some time to be done with the sangat's meeting, and then I will go for rest. To me, first
is the sangat and then anything else." Data Ji was always happy in the happiness of the sangat. Then
kindly Hazur came and looked at the kitchen and told me that the kitchen was very nice. I said, "Yes,
Sache Patshah." Hazur said, "Now Bibi, I will take a bath and then eat the food." So He ate His dinner
and was lost in His spiritual thoughts.
The next morning He gave His satsang and pleased everybody by giving His Darshan. When He
was done with the satsang, Deputy Hamaryan requested Hazur to see a palace of mirrors made by
a rich man of that city. Data Ji said, "Look brother, you are talking about a palace of mirrors. I have
thousands of palaces of m irrors inside. W h at is there to see outside. See those o utside by lo o k ­
ing in to th e m inside. You will get th e peace o f m in d a n d soul. N o b o d y listens to this m atter.
Everybody is afraid o f looking inside. Everybody keeps ru n n in g outside." H e again m ade a
request before H azur th a t he m u st try th e outside o n e too. H azur said, "O kay brother, in
o rd er to fulfil yo u r desire I will go." H azur asked m e if I w anted to go w ith H im ." I said,
"No D ata Ji, y o u go to see it. I have to w ash th e clothes." H azu r sat in th e m o to rcar an d
said to me, "Okay Bibi, as you like." W hen H azur was lo o k in g at th e palace, I also reached
th ere w ith th e daughter o f D eputy H am arayan. I th o u g h t o f th e ow ner o f th e palace. If he
cam e an d h a d the D arshan o f H azur it w o u ld b e nice. I asked th e w atchm an if th e rich m an
ever visited here. H e replied on ly once o r twice a year. We w ere saying th is w h e n th e rich
m an, th e ow ner o f th e palace came. H azur laughed a n d said, "Kako, see, M aster has ful­
filled y our desire. T he rich m an is here." W h en th e ow ner h a d H azur's D arsh an he becam e
very happy. Because H azur's appearance w as full o f magic. W hosoever, like th e birds an d
th e anim als w ere attracted by His appearance, th e n w h a t to speak o f the h u m a n beings.
The ow ner asked H azu r if H e liked th e palace o f m irrors. H azur said, "Look brother, there
are to o m an y b etter th a n this." The ow ner asked Hazur, "Have y o u seen them ?" H azur said,
"Yes brother, I m yself have seen all o f th em ." The ow ner a n d all th e sangat kept m um . Then
Satguru read som e lines o f th e H oly Book G uru G ranth Sahib, "Look brother, th o se w ho
sm oke a n d eat intoxicated things, a n d never rem em bered G od are caught by th e Yam (G od

H azur w en t o n talking a b o u t spirituality w ith th e ow ner for som etim e. The ow ner re­
quested H azur to have a visit to his h o u se a n d to give His D arshan to the m em bers o f his
fam ily a n d to purify his house. Satguru said, "No n o t now, any o th e r tim e, b u t at th is tim e I
have a lo t o f w ork to do for the sangat." Saying these w ords H azur cam e back h o m e a n d said,
"Kako, th e p o o r fellow was forcing m e to visit his house a n d I p u t h im off. It w ill be good
if y o u go to his house. I will n o t go. You are very good Bibi, y o u d o m y w ork." I requested,
"Satguru Ji, do n o t sen d m e to such rich people's houses, th ey have very b a d karm as." D ata
Ji said, "Kako, you are right, b u t y o u are obeying m y order." I said, "Okay Sache Patshah.
W hatever H azur's o rd er is I will obey." T hen th e rich m a n left. But H azur's charm ing picture
stayed in His heart. H e w ished to have H azur's D arshan m ore a n d m ore. W hoever once h a d
H azur's D arsh an w o u ld forget everything.
At 4:00 p.m ., th e sam e rich m a n again cam e to have H azur's D arshan. The car h e drove, its
doors w ere m ad e o f gold. W hen th e rich m a n came, all th e sangat cam e to m e a n d said, "Bibi
Ji, this m a n is th e w ealthiest m a n in th e city so you m u st h elp h im in m eeting w ith Hazur." I
said th a t I w o u ld arrange a chair for h im in th e ro o m a n d give h im good respect. H azur was
sitting in m ed ita tio n a n d w h en H e w o u ld b e free H e m u st see h im . N o b o d y is highest o r

o f th e Satguru. In His C ourt there w as o nly value in N aam , sim ran a n d seva.
I to o k th e rich m a n in th e ro o m an d asked h im to sit in th e chair. T hen I entered H azur's
ro o m slowly. Looking at H azur sitting in m ed itation, I cam e back. I looked again an d H azur
was d o n e w ith his m ed itatio n . I to ld H im th a t th e rich m a n w a n te d to see H im in th e next

51
room . "Hazur, please give h im som e tim e to talk w ith you," I said to H azur respectfully.
H azu r said, "Okay Bibi, b u t I w ill n o t initiate h im even th o u g h he requests m an y tim es. H e
has such heavy karm as th a t w henever I talk to h im m y tongue becom es stuck an d hard."
I w as very surprised to h e a r this, th in k in g th a t Satguru was th e great one, w h o could w ash
away o u r sins.

Satguru Ji cam e in to th e ro o m to talk w ith th e rich m an. The rich m a n bow ed his head
a n d greeted H im w ith his folded h a n d s in o rd er to give m uch respect to Hazur. T hen he
requested in itiation. D ata Ji said, "Brother, y o u r tim e has n o t com e yet." T he rich m an said,
"Hazur, I will com e to y o u r D era Beas." D ata Ji said, "Brother, there is no g o o d place for you
to stay in D ehra Beas." The rich m a n replied, "No, Hazur, I can stay even in th e forest." The
poor, rich m a n left a n d H azur's h e a lth started to go dow n. H azur was sick for th e night. Then
H azur said, "Look h o w m u ch b a d karm a th e rich m a n has. Saints can lo o k in to th e karm as
like lo o k in g in to th e m irro r o r a p o t m ad e o f glass." H azur stayed eight days in Indore a n d
th e rich m a n kept o n visiting H azu r for seven days. T hen th e sangat kept o n requesting H a­
z u r for in itia tio n for six days. Later H azur accepted to give it th e next m orning. So th e next
m o rn in g w h e n H azur was ready to give in itiatio n , th e rich m an was also th ere b u t H azur
again refused him . The o ld devotees m ad e requests to H azur in his favor. T hen th e devotee
M oti Lal requested H azu r again for th e rich m a n saying th a t he w as th e w ealthiest m a n a n d
h e h a d th e utensils o f silver to feed the te n th o u sa n d sangat. If h e w o u ld be initiated th e n
th ere w ere lots o f p eo p le w orking u n d e r h im th a t w o u ld b e satsangies. D ata Ji said, "Look,
M oti Lal, w h a t you are saying is right, b u t his karm as are very heavy a n d I c a n n o t b ear th e
b u rd en . If y o u can b ear all o f his karm as a n d can have th e b u rd en , th e n I a m ready to give
h im in itiatio n . M oti Lal said, "No Hazur, I c a n n o t do that. I have m y ow n karm as to bear."
H azu r said, "M oti Lal look, w e d o n 't need w ealth. We love those w h o love G od. W ealth o f
N aam is greater th a n th a t o f th e w orld. If I have to give h im in itia tio n I w ill have to leave
m y b o d y right afterw ard because his karm as c a n n o t b e lo ad ed o n m y body." T hen I said,
"M oti Lal Ji, do n o t force Hazur. We need H azur's presence, so there is n o need to give in itia­
tio n to th e rich m an." The p o o r fellow M oti Lal becam e qu iet a n d sto p p ed forcing Hazur.
H azu r in itiated eighteen h u n d re d peo p le in Indore. H e spent th e w h o le day in in itiatio n
a n d advised everybody to do sim ran an d b h a ja n every day. After giving lots o f His grace H e
cam e back to His room . T hen H e d ran k m ilk after having His b a th a n d at 5:00 p.m . H e again
w e n t o u t a n d gave satsang. M aster was very h a p p y a n d all the sangat was also very h ap p y to
b e blessed w ith H azur's D arshan. At n ig h t H azu r said, "N ow alm o st th e w h o le w ork is d o n e
h ere a n d w e all have to go th e day after tom orrow . We have given tim e to th e residents o f
Dewas (a city”close to Indore) so we w ill reach th ere th e day after tom orrow ."
The sangat requested H azur to sp en d o n e day m ore. H azur asked if they w o u ld be satis­
fied w ith th e stay o f o n e m o re day. H e fu rth er to ld th a t th e true lovers o f M asters were never
satisfied. They always w an ted to b e w ith th e ir Master. If they are satisfied th e n w h a t type o f
love could it be? Love is th e n a m e o f th a t w hich always gives th e p a in o f separation. The fish
lives in th e w ater b u t is never satisfied w ith it. D id she ever say th a t she does n o t need water?
So th e lovers o f th e M aster always have such a k in d o f longing for th e Master, like th a t o f the
fish in th e water." (The w ater is th e M aster a n d th e lover is th e fish). Everybody was laughing
a n d w ere overw helm ed w ith joy w hile H azu r was speaking His sw eet w ords. All loved His
sw eet w ords.
The next day after giving His satsang, H azur w as ready to leave. H azur to ld m e after
th e evening satsang th a t I could arrange all th e things because th e next m o rn in g H e w o u ld
leave. T h at evening after satsang, H azur to ld everybody, "Brothers, do y o u r sim ran a n d b h a ­
jan regularly w ith love a n d devotion. Never forget a n d never delay. W hoever does this will
get th e rew ard. Sim ran is th e fence to pro tect m ed itatio n . Satgurus o n ly com e to lead the

W henever th e b o d y becom es old, th e Saints th ro w it out, a n d have kept o n th row ing o u t

T hen he gave a one h u n d red rupee n o te to D eputy Sahib's dau g h ter an d said, "My child, I
am very h a p p y w ith you. You served m e a n d Bibi Lajo w ith h e a rt a n d soul."
After giving His blessings to everyone a n d giving H is charm ing D arsh an to th e sangat,
H e left for Dewas City at 6:00 a.m . The satsangies an d lovers o f H azur were crying an d sh ed ­

Translators Note:

"Har Kay Santo Batavo Marg,

(O h saints o f God, tell the way)
Ham Peechey Lag Chali
(I will follow you)
Mero Sunder Kaho, Miley Kis Gali"
(Tell, in which street my beautiful Master can be met)

These are th e w ords from a Bani (song) b u t Bibi Lajo always used to sing these w ords.
She was always serving h er G u m like a sh ad o w a n d after His physical departure, she re­
m ain ed in th e sweet m em ories o f h e r Master, a m eans by w hich she could feel His presence.
So m an y Saints from all aro u n d In d ia used to visit h e r house.
The G od him self, like Satguru Kirpal Singh Ji u sed to visit h e r every m o n th . In m y pres­
ence Satguru D arshan Singh li visited h e r a n d shared h e r love a n d p a in o f separation for
th eir Satguru Sawan.
I usually traveled w ith h er to Sawan A shram a n d later Kirpal A shram a n d stayed w ith h er
in h e r ro o m in o rder to enjoy h e r spiritual stories o f Hazur.
I u sed to call her th e M ira Bai o f th e present tim e. Like M ira Bai she has w ritten stories
an d p o em s o f h e r Satguru o n h e r heart. H er stories a n d p o em s sh o u ld n o t b e w eighed w ith
literature, b u t it sh o u ld be w eighed w ith h e r tm e love a n d devotion. Feelings a n d em o tio n s
in th e stories in this p art convey h e r love a n d devotion for h e r Satguru Sawan, in w hose
divine co m p an y she lived h e r life a n d never forgot even a single m o m e n t sp en t in His h oly
presence.
The disciple w h o is already blessed w ith th e love a n d d ev otion o f his Satguru w ill be
m o re in sp ired after reading these w onderful stories o f Hazur. By reading these stories o f
Hazur, w h o is still present in His h id d e n form , one m u st b e fo rtu n ate to experience love a n d
dedication as Bibi Lajo had.
So these stories are a b o u t th e m iracles for th e tm e devotee.

Story # 35:
Story o f Dewas (A town in India)

From In d o re Sache P atshah reached Dewas. There w ere lots o f satsangies gathered, w aiting
for Hazur. They h a d m ade very goo d arrangem ents for H azur's stay in a big house. The san­
gat was singing shabds in praise o f th e ir beloved Master. W hen H e arrived, Satguru Ji gave
His blessings. H e talked to everyone a n d asked h ow th ey are doing. T hen H azu r said, "Look,
brothers, w h a t a m iracle Satguru has d o n e th a t we all are to g eth er here. We all have com e
from far a n d wide. Look at th e distance betw een Beas a n d U.P. (a state in n o rth e rn India.)
Satguru is very k ind to all in this Kaliyuga (th e Iron Age.) T hanks to th e Satguru. So we, w ho
are so close, rem ain em pty som etim es a n d som e are called from far o ff places. The w ealth o f

53
N aam can b e fo u n d w ith goo d fortune. So y o u all are great to have got this o p p o rtu n ity to
gather for satsang here. I am w ith all o f you. You are loving people. You have th e devotion
a n d devotion is th e way to find G od. Those w h o do th e b h a ja n a n d sim ran are th e luckiest
ones." H azu r was sitting in a chair in th e garden a n d spoke these w ords to th e sangat.
After arranging H azur's things, I requested o f Hazur, "Sache Patshah, w ash y o u r face an d
h a n d s a n d eat so m eth in g a n d have som e rest." H azu r laughed a n d said, "Kako, you are
very pu n ctu al to com e o n tim e to call me. A lright Bibi, let us go. I w ill obey y o u first. Kako
I forget m y h u n g er a n d th irst w h e n I lo o k a t m y sangat a n d loving people." Satguru Ji m ade
everybody very happy. T hen H e w ashed His face an d h a n d s a n d d ran k som e w ater a n d said,
"Kako, has everybody d ru n k th e water?" T hen H e said, "Okay Bibi There are lots o f p eo p le
w ith us an d you have to cook food. Kako, is y o u r kitchen good? You d o n 't have any difficulty
for cooking?" I said, "Sache Patshah, everything is goo d by y o u r grace."
The Postm aster, a satsangie in th a t area h a d m ad e th e arrangem ents in th e Town H all
for satsang. There w ere n u m ero u s satsangies. It was h a rd to sit in th a t hall for everyone.
So, m an y were sitting in th e gallery, w hich was o n th e first floor o f th e big hall. Even th e n
there w as a big crowd. Satguru Ji gave satsang an d blessed everyone. T hen H azur w e n t to
see th e city o f U jjain close by th a t area. H e m ad e fo rtu n ate so m an y peo p le by giving His
h o ly D arshan. C om ing back from U jjain, H azu r gave a satsang. H azur's satsang was w ith o u t
any discrim ination, so everyone o f any caste o r religion was enjoying His satsang. So m any
peo p le developed th e feeling o f love for H im after listening to H is satsang. So m an y p eople
w ere ready to get in itiated from Hazur. H azu r to ld th e m H e w o u ld give in itia tio n th e next
m o rn in g because H e h a d to leave th e day thereafter. H e h a d to reach D evlali (a to w n in
India.) Babu Postm aster requested H azur for satsang in his house. H e convinced H azur to
place His ho ly feet in his house. H azur agreed a n d said, "W hen I leave this place, I w ill com e
to yo u r house."
The P ostm aster fell sick th a t n ig h t due to over w ork a n d co u ld n o t com e in th e m o rn in g
to see Hazur. H azur always used to take care o f everyone. So w h e n H e no ticed th a t Babu Ji
has n o t com e, he said, "Kako, Babu Ji has n o t com e. Is h e well? H e m ay have fever d u e to
overw ork." I said, " Yes Hazur, he has fever." H azur gave m e tw o apples a n d said, "Go Kako,
see h im an d give h im th is parshad. H e m u st get well. H e does seva for m e a n d th e sangat." I,
w ith m y folded h a n d s said, "I w ill go Sache Patshah. I d o n 't k n o w h o w m an y days h e h a d to
b e sick a n d you are m aking h im well w ith in o n e day by giving y o u r parshad. I am going just
now." H azur said, "Kako, Babu was to be sick w ith fever for th irty days, b u t h e w ill be sick
on ly for th irty h ours because h e has d o n e a lo t o f seva for m e a n d m y sangat." I said, "Hazur,
like this way seva is n o t expensive." H azur said, "Yes Kako, m a n does n o t know w h a t th e
M aster does for h im . Kako, I am n o t su p p o sed to give o u t such kinds o f secrets. If such se­
crets are revealed, th e w orld will n o t let th e Saints live w ith ease. T hat is w hy it is good to hide."
After listening to H azur's w ords, I sat in th e m o to rcar a n d w e n t to Babu Ji's house. W hen I
reached there, I saw Babu was suffering w ith high fever a n d h a d im m en se p a in in his back. I
gave h im H azur's h o ly parshad. H e kissed th e apple a n d ate so m e o f it. H e to ld his children
n o t to share his parshad. Satguru h a d sent th e p arsh ad to keep th e fever away.
As soon as he ate the whole parshad, his fever was gone and there was no pain in his back. He be­
came ready to go with me. When he reached Hazur, Sache Patshah laughed and sa id ," Brother, how is
your fever now?" Babu Ji said, "Sache Patshah, you know better all about the secret. When Bibi gave the
parshad, the fever went away and the pain disappeared. Now I feel better." Data Ji said, "Look, you did
a lot of seva for me and my sangat, so Baba Ji became happy and bestowed his grace upon you. I did
nothing. It is all the kind of favor of my Baba Ji." Babu Ji said, "No Sache Patshah, it is all your kind­
ness." Hazur said, " No brother, do not disgrace me. "It is all work done by my Baba Ji. I am grateful
to Him that He has given me the opportunity to be with the sangat to do the seva for them. He is very
kind to me." Hazur never gave any credit to Himself for doing miracles. He was great and in spite of
being the Highest Power, He never showed Himself, but always referred to Himself as a servant of the
sangat. Has was an example of humility and kindness.

54
 In the evening, Hazur did the satsang and the next day, He initiated new disciples into the myster­
ies of the beyond. Then Hazur said, "Look, I have initiated all of you. Is there any difference in your
caste and religion? Now all of you are equal. There is no fear of anything like the negative power Kai,
evil spirits, Yamraja (God of Death) or Black Magic. Nothing will affect you with simran and bhajan. To
fill the stomach is easy even for the animals, but take advantage of this human birth. My son! Worldly
material will not stand by us at the time of death. Only Naam and Satguru will help at that time."

Then Hazur encouraged everybody and took leave of them. He went to take a bath.

In the evening Hazur gave one more satsang. At night He said to Babu Ji, "Now, there is nothing more
left to do. Now I have to visit your house which is on the way." Babu Ji happily replied, "Yes Sache
Patshah, you are very kind to me and you gave your good time to everyone and I am very much thank­
ful to you." Hazur, after having given a lot of time to the sangat, ate His food. Then He asked me to
pack the luggage and said, "Kako, we have to leave early in the morning. You serve everybody with milk
soon. Cook the food for everybody and nobody should give you any trouble on the way for having
food. Pack my food in the tiffin and put it in my motorcar. Then Bibi, we have to stop at the Postmas­
ter's house. He will have love for five or six minutes and I have to give something to his children. He
did a good seva." I said, "Okay Sache Patshah."

Hazur stayed for six days in Dewas.

Hazur, at about 8:00 a.m. got into the motorcar after giving His Darshan to the love filled sangat.
All were shedding tears. Hazur said, "My children, do not cry. I am very close to you. Satguru never
departs from His loved ones. He is always within you." After saying this Hazur left for Devlali. On the
way, Hazur stopped at the Postmaster's house. The Postmaster's wife welcomed Hazur lovingly and
brought some sugarballs and cardamoms for beloved Satguru and His sangat. In order to make her
happy, the gracious Satguru Ji picked one cardamom and ate it. All the sangat with Hazur took one
candamom and one sugarball. Satguru gave fifty rupees to his children and loved them. After a shower
of His love and blessings, Hazur left the place.

Story #36:
Story o f Devlali (A town in Maharashtra, India)
From Dewas, Hazur reached Devlali. Numberless satsangies were waiting for Him. Everybody was
putting in efforts to prepare for the celebration of Hazur's arrival. As soon as Hazur's motorcar arrived,
everyone ran towards Him to have His Darshan. They were singing shabds in his praise:
"Mitiya Andhera Chand Chadeya,Satguran Da Darshan Payaa."
Which means, "All darkness disappeared and the m oon rose up when we had the Darshan of Satguru."

Word Meanings: Miteya= Disappeared; Andhera= Darkness; Chand= Moon; Chadeya= Rose up; Sat-
guru= Beloved Master; Da=of; Darshan Paaya= Having a glance.

Satguru Ji m et everyone lovingly. H e accepted th eir greetings, "Radha Soam i." H e bestow ed
His lyrical glances u p o n everyone. Thereafter H e began saying w ith love, "Okay, I am very
h a p p y w ith every b ro th e r a n d sister. N ow everyone take rest a n d I am also going to w ash
m y face a n d hands, th e n w ill take som e rest. After th a t I have to do th e satsang." The sangat
h ap p ily dispersed. Sache Patshah said, "Kako, n ow we sh o u ld m oveffom here a n d y ou also
arrange y o u r kitchen a n d settle everybody at th e ir places." B rother A tm a Ram gave th e h o u se
for H azur's residence. There w ere n o b eautiful houses. Sache P atshah becam e very h a p p y to
see th eir houses. D een Dyal (H azur) did n o t lo o k at th e b eauty o f th e houses b u t He looked
at th e love o f th e satsangies. H e used to m ake everyone happy. The h ouse w here H azur
stayed was an o rd in ary house. It h a d a ro o f m ad e o f b a m b o o a n d dry grass. The place for sat­

The gracious M aster never m ad e anyone's h eart sad. W henever H e used to sit for satsang,
H e always gave everyone a brilliant, divine look, w hich w o u ld m ake everyone intoxicated.
After th e h o ly in itiation, Sache Patshah h a d His dinner. H e was lost in His spiritual th o u g h ts

people am o n g th em w anted to have h o ly in itiatio n . They requested Satguru Ji for initiation.
D een Dyal replied, "I will, to m o rro w m orning." The sangat was overjoyed to hear this.
After th e evening satsang, som e disciples to o k H azur to show H im th e to w n an d sandal

said, "Call in Kako." So Atm a Ram cam e to m e a n d to ld th a t H azur w an ted to see me. I pre­

I to o k th e w o o d en slippers a n d san d alw o o d to keep th e m w ith me. H azur stayed in Devlali

D uring th e selection o f th e p eo p le for in itiatio n , th ere was a big crow d o f peo p le th a t was

selected eleven h u n d re d people a n d the rest o f th e m w ere sent back.
H azu r graciously initiated eleven h u n d re d peo p le a n d gave His blessing. The H e said,
"My sons! You all have been initiated now. D o sim ran a n d b h a ja n w ith y o u r h eart a n d soul.

At the tim e o f m editation during initiation, som e experienced th e Light, som e Sound, an d

to everyone an d pack th e food. It is a long journey." I packed everything at night.
H azur gave a lo t o f blessings to A tm a Ram a n d th e sangat a n d said, "I am very happy
w ith all o f you. You have d o n e a lo t o f seva for m e a n d m y sangat. A lo t o f m o n ey has been
spent. But do n o t worry, M aster will bless y o u w ith m o re m oney. Have faith in th e Master.
M aster does n o t find anyone to share w ith him ."
The sangat was in tears over th e separation o f th e ir beloved Satguru. D een Dyal said,
"Brothers do n o t cry. I am always w ith you. Satguru is present w ith His devotees even in th e
forests a n d m o u n tain s." T hen H azur to ld th e m a story th a t tw o devotees w en t to B urm a (a

After giving a lo t o f tim e to th e sangat H e d ran k th e m ilk. H e was very hap p y to m ake every­

T hen H azur said to me, "Kako! Have you prepared th e food?" "Yes H azur! Everything is
ready," I replied. T hen H e said, "Very good Kako. I am very h a p p y w ith you. You always fin­

T hen H azur said to th e sangat, "N ow brothers, give m e leave. I have to do a lo n g journey."
T hen laughingly H e said, "Let us go Kako. Everybody has to leave w ith o u t any adm iration."
After saying these w ords H e got in to th e car. D ue to th e separation o f Hazur, th e sangat's
hearts w ere getting broken. Satguru looked at th e sangat an d to o k His seat in His car an d
b ad e R adha Soam i to all o f th em a n d caught th e way to C hittaw at.

Story# 37:
Story o f Chittawat (A small town in western India)

H azur reached C hittaw at from Devlali. A tm a Ram was also there. M ost o f th e people in

H azur said, "Kako, I like this house. I can see o nly love spread all aro u n d th e house. W hat

Story # 39:
Story o f Agra (Famous city where Soami Ji lived)
Leaving Gwalior, H azu r reached Agra. In Agra, M ehta Ji (w ho was Soam i Ji's nephew )
a n d M ata Ji arranged a beautiful stay for Hazur. D ata Ji stayed in th a t h o u se a n d M ata Ji gave
a lo t o f respect to Hazur. She sent m ilk, lo t o f fruits, sweets a n d o th e r edibles for Hazur. I
placed everything in fro n t o f Hazur. D ata Ji was th e treasurehouse o f soft heartedness a n d
said, "No m atter Bibi, everything belonging to this place is goo d to eat, b u t M ata Ji to o k to o
m u ch p a in to send a lo t o f edibles. O kay Kako, we also w ill go to have th e D arshan o f M ata
Ji. You arrange som e dry fruits a n d sweets. We sh o u ld n o t go to th e Saints em pty h an d ed ." I
accepted w ith folded hands. In th e m eanw hile M ehta Ji cam e th ere in order to greet Hazur.
Both o f th em m et each o th er happily. They w ere looking like a p a ir o f swans. They talked for
a b o u t an hour. T hen M ehta Sahib w en t back to his house.
Hazur, after w ashing His face a n d h an d s d ran k m ilk a n d ate som e snacks. After I was d o n e
w ith H azur's seva, I cooked th e food. I served H azur an d th e sangat w ith food. It was a long
journey, so having tak en His food H azur b ecam e lo st in His spiritual practice a n d sleep. In
th e m orning, w h en H azu r was d o n e w ith his m ed itatio n , He said, "Kako, we have to go to
have M ata Ji's D arshan. Have you arranged so m eth in g for her." I said, "Yes Hazur, everything
is arranged." I p u t dry fruits a n d sweets a n d garlands o f flowers o n big plates a n d covered it
w ith a square piece o f silken cloth. I placed all o f th e m in fro n t o f Hazur. Looking a t them ,
H azur was pleased a n d said, "Very good Kako, you have d o n e a very good job." T hen he
said to Shadi, "Look, w h a t a great job Bibi has done. Such deeds are d o n e o nly by w o m e n
belonging to royal fam ilies. They have full know ledge o f such kinds o f deeds. O k Bibi, get
ready." I said very softly, "I am ready Sache Patshah." There was a large sangat. W hen H azu r
w alked out, everybody follow ed H im . T he big plates w ere in m y h a n d s a n d in th e h a n d s o f
H azur's servants. D ata Ji was w alking w ith H is m ajestic gait a n d stepping slow ly a n d slow ly
________________________________________________________________________________ 59
in order to have M ata Ji's D arshan. Looking a t H azur's w onderful gait, th e sangat was over­
w helm ed w ith joy. They, o u t o f joy were b lo o m in g like flowers. The joy I h a d at th a t tim e is
inexpressible. W hen H azu r called m e Kako, it seem ed like there was a rain o f flowers. W hen
He called m e Bibi, I could n o t com pare m yself even w ith th e gods in Heaven. It looked to
m e as if I h a d received th e kingship from Satlok o r Sachkhand.
W ith th e leading steps o f H azu r a n d b e h in d H im myself, th e n th e sangat, w e all reached
M ata Ji's house. C alm ness a n d d evotion o f G uru was all blessed to H azur from Sachkhand.
N o o n e can com pete w ith H im in these virtues. D ata Ji sto p p ed all th e virtues as so o n as He
left all o f us. H e d id n o t give H is virtues to anyone b e h in d H im . H azu r show ed a m iracle,
seeing w hich we all started w eeping. W hen H azu r m e t M ata Ji, H e fell o n h e r feet an d lied
dow n o n th e floor straight o n His stom ach a n d to u ch e d M ata Ji's feet. D ata Ji was to u ch in g
M ata Ji's feet a n d M ata Ji was to u ch in g D ata Ji's feet. T hat was a w onderful scene. O nly those
w h o w ere present th ere w ere th e fo rtu n ate ones to w itness a n d enjoy th e m agnificent m eet­
ing an d greeting o f tw o spiritual powers. It w as a strange game. It was just like th a t as Lord
K rishna u sed to m eet th e wife o f Saint Sandeepan. She was called G uruani (Saint's o r G uru's
wife.) Just like that, H azu r was m eetin g M ata Ji.
T hen H azur said, "You also to u ch M ata Ji's feet a n d th e n let th e sangat to u ch M ata Ji's feet
o n e by one. W hatever I have received in m y life, I have received from this house. She is m y
G rand G uru."
I was losing m y wits at th a t tim e th inking th a t D ata Ji knew th a t the only form he h ad
adopted for him self, th a t n o b o d y else could a d o p t such a form . D ata D een Dyal looked at m e
an d laughed, th e n asked, "W hat is th e m atter? W hy are you so surprised?" I could n o t speak a
single w ord. I was quiet. M ata Ji was ho ld in g D ata Ji's h an d s a n d D ata Ji was sitting in fro n t
o f h e r w ith His h a n d s folded. M ata Ji was asking H azur h o w H e h a d been. D ata Ji was telling
M ata Ji softly, "M ata Ji, it is all y o u r grace." M ata Ji said, "Give m e y o u r blessing a n d grace."
D ata Ji said, "No M ata Ji, I have com e to take blessings a n d love from you." M ata Ji said,
"You are th e treasure o f blessings a n d grace." D ata Ji said, "No n o , I am th e beggar at the
d o o r o f y o u r house. You are m y G rand G uru."
M ata Ji b elonged to Seth Sahib's family, so she was th e wife o f Seth Sahib, a n d Seth Sahib
belonged to Soam i Ji's family. Baba Jaim al Singh Ji got in itia tio n from Soam i Ji an d H azur
got in itia tio n from Baba Jaim al Singh Ji. So th e spiritual chain is tied w ith Soam i Ji's fam ­
ily. Everybody connected w ith Soam i Ji was a m em b e r o f Soam i Ji's family. Every soul was
spiritual in th e family. In th e dynasty o f Soam i Ji's spiritual Kingship, every m em b e r o f th e
spiritual dynasty was lo st in m ed ita tio n a n d leading a spiritual life.
H azur sat for h a lf an h o u r w ith M ata Ji. W h en H azur was ready to com e back, H e again
to u ch ed th e feet o f M ata Ji in th e sam e w ay as H e did in th e beg in n in g o f H is m eeting w ith
M ata Ji a n d w ished h e r blessings. M ata Ji also w ished H im "Radha Soam i." W h en D ata Ji left
M ata Ji, H e w en t in His h o u se w here H e used to live at th e tim e o f Soam i Ji a n d Baba Jaim al
Singh Ji. T hen He cam e back to H is residence a n d sat in a chair. W hen H e w as sitting, His
face was sh in n in g w ith spiritual radiance. N o m o o n a n d su n could stay before His divine
light sh in in g o n His face.
W hen H azur was sitting I said, "My great Sache Patshah, you show ed y o u r calm ness a n d
softness today. N o b o d y can have th e virtue o f G uru Bhakti except th e Satguru. Sache P atshah
loo k ed a t m e a n d laughed, th e n lovingly said, "Kako, w hy are y o u th in k in g so deeply. To

rew ard in life. We always consider th is d o o r as a p a rt o f o u r soul a n d spirituality. G urubhakti

Bibi, I am th an k fu l to m y Satguru a t every m o m e n t. H e gave a special gift o f in itia tio n a n d
th e blessings o f d o in g m ed ita tio n a n d gave m e th e d u ty to serve d ie sangat. It is m y spiritual

60
du ty to b o w dow n. The teaching o f G uru is to b rin g peace a n d calm ness w ith in you. Kako,
Saints are ju st like a tree o f sandalw ood a n d th e w orld is like snakes. The snakes filled w ith
p o iso n a n d b u rn t w ith fire, roll them selves aro u n d th e san d alw o o d trees. The sandalw ood
tree gives his calm ness to th e m b u t never takes th eir p o iso n a n d heat. The tree o f sandal
never pays any atte n tio n to th eir poison. The Saints w ill always th in k o f th e benefit even for
th o se w h o are ready to cut Their head. As som ebody is cutting th e san d alw o o d tree, b u t the
tree does n o t lo o k w h o is cutting it, b u t in return it gives it's fragrance to th e axe w ith w hich
it receives cuts o n its branch. So Bibi, o n e w ho bow s is th e highest in fact. B ending trees are
lo ad ed w ith fruits. T horny trees m ay be th e big ones, b u t th ey have th e th o rn s a n d they can­
n o t b ear fruits. They lo o k tall a n d big b u t w ith no use, n o benefit."

I folded m y h a n d s an d said, "Sache Patshah! You are m y Satguru, th e G re a t G reat is

y o u r spirituality a n d great is yo u r birth. Great are yo u r deeds for all o f us an d th e sangat

In th e evening H azur w en t to offer His prayers o n Soam i Ji's grave. H e atten d ed th e satsang

th e satsang o f M ad hoparshad Ji. The sangat requested H azu r to sit o n th e stage, b u t H azur
refused th e m to do th at. H e said, "No no, this is m y place, to sit o n th e floor."
In th e evening D ata Ji cam e back to His residence. At the sam e tim e M ehta Ji gave his
D arshan. M ehta Ji m et H azur w ith great respect a n d love. They b o th were talking w ith love
a n d respect. T hen M ehta Ji said, "Hazur, to m o rro w we are going to o p e n th e doors o f th e

H azur ate His fo o d a n d said, "Kako, w e have to go to M ehta Ji's h o u se at 8:00 a.m . a n d he
has invited all o f us to lunch." I said, "Hazur, we have to o m an y peo p le w ith us so it is n o t

Dyal Ji always agreed to m y proposals. So He said, "Kako, you will be w ith m e so w h o will
cook food for the rest." H azur to o k care o f everybody. I folded m y h an d s an d said, "I will cook
food early in th e m o rn in g for th em an d they will eat by them selves after we are gone." H azur
said, "My child, you will do a lo t a n d will get tired." I said, "No Sache Patshah, I w ill n o t be

H im . The rest o f th e staff m em bers ate food at hom e.
In the m o rn in g H azur got ready to go to do the op en in g cerem ony o f th e m useum after

baskets o f flowers in th eir hands. W hen H azur an d M ehta Sahib Ji stood together, they started
to throw flowers o n them . It was looking as if a rain o f flowers was pouring from the sky. H a­
zu r was w earing a black long coat a n d a w hite turban. His face was radiant an d red, show ing
His spiritual power. There were thousands o f sangat b e h in d Hazur, an d o n th e o th er h a n d
there was th e sam e a m o u n t o f sangat b eh in d Shri M ehta Sahib Ji. It was a very w onderful and
beautiful scene. Shri M ehta Sahib Ji was th e true portrait o f love an d friendship. H e gave a lot
o f respect to Hazur. M ehta Ji garlanded Hazur. The garland was beautifully em broidered w ith
golden wires. Sache Patshah never w ore a garland. So H azur to o k off the garland from His
neck an d p u t it o n M ehta Ji's neck. Shri M ehta Ji to o k an o th er garland and p u t it on H azur's
neck. M ehta Ji said, "If you are n o t w earing the garland, I will also n o t w ear it." H azur said,
"Okay brother, if I have to w ear it, I will w ear it." T hen H azur w ore th e garland. He saw the

 W ith a black long coat, golden garland aro u n d th e neck an d silver w hite beard shining
o n H azur's face, this kind o f beauty o f H azur c an n o t be described in any w ords o f this w orld.
Som e fortunate ones got th e o pportunity to have His D arshan. Shri M ehta Ji also w ore a black
suit. They were looking like a pair o f swans.
After seeing th e w h o le exhibition, H e cam e to th e side w ith th e co tto n show. O ne lady
requested Hazur, "Please set us free from th is w orld to o ." Sache Patshah, w ith His politeness
said, "My child, I always say, b e serene, do a lo t o f sim ran an d b h a ja n so th a t y o u m ay also
get th e power." The p o o r lady becam e very happy. T hen H azur a n d M ehta Ji w e n t in a big
garden. There w ere tw o chairs decorated for them . Both o f th em h a d th eir seats. O h! Aha!
W h at a beautiful scene it was at th a t tim e. Even th e gods in th e sky w ere h a p p y to lo o k at
th a t w onderful scene.
Then I asked Hazur, standing b e h in d His chair, "Data Ji take off this garland now. I was
thinking this so som e evil eye m ay n o t have effect on Hazur." H azur laughed a n d to o k off th e
garland a n d gave th a t to me. Then H e said, "Have it an d keep it nicely." I w rapped th e garland
in a towel a n d kept it w ith me. So m any people asked m e to have th e garland b u t I did n o t
give it. T hen I requested M ehta Sahib Ji to take off th e garland. M ehta Sahib Ji said, "No Bibi,
I will n o t give m y garland to anyone. H azur has p u t it o n m y neck." I laughed a n d said th a t
was okay. M ehta Ji's secretary b ro u g h t two garlands, having light green flowers, w rapped w ith
golden wires an d p u t th em aro u n d the necks o f H azur a n d M ehta Ji. O h! Those garlands were
looking m ore beautiful th a n the first ones.
In the m iddle were two chairs o n w hich th e two swans were sitting surrounded w ith m il­
lions o f sangat. T hen myself, the lowest one, was sitting at th e b o tto m o f H azur's feet. M ehta Ji
h a d ordered so m any brass plates filled w ith ladoos in order to distribute am o n g th e sangat as

yo u r job to give th e parshad to everyone." D ata Ji said, "No brother, I w an t you to d o it." T hen
M ehta Ji said, "H azur you touch th em a n d m ake parshad." T hen H azur tou ch ed all o f th em

First o f all M ehta Ji gave m e eleven pieces o f ladoo, again eleven a n d again eleven. T hen
I requested, "Please stop now." Shri H azur laughed an d M ehta Ji said, "Bibi, eleven for your
seva, eleven from m y side and eleven for yo u r true love." I received w ith a smile. Shri M ehta
Sahib Ji an d H azur gave a sweet laughter an d w ere m aking fun w ith each other. The sangat, like

H azur said, "Okay, as you w ish I will do. I am your guest. W hatever you say I am ready to d o ."

Story #40:
Visit to the King o f Sangli

O nce In d u m ati, th e d aughter o f th e Q u een o f Sangli h a d com e to D alhousie. The Cre­

ator, H azur Ji, was also in D alhousie. Both th e houses w ere in th e sam e locality. Induraja
was suffering from fever a n d it was n o t stopping. So th e doctors to ld h er th a t she h a d T.B.
(Tuberculosis.) The doctors refused to treat her. In th o se days T.B. was an incurable disease.
In d u m a ti was very sad. I w ent to see her. She said she w anted to tell a b o u t h e r c o n d itio n to
Hazur. She requested m e to b rin g H azur at h e r house. I encouraged h e r a n d said th a t H azur
w o uld com e to see h e r in th e evening. T hen she felt h a p p y a n d I cam e back. T hen I requested
H azur to visit h e r house. I further to ld H azu r th a t she was very sick an d th e doctors h a d re­
fused to do h e r treatm ent. H azur laughed a n d said, "Kako, everybody loves his life. N o m at­
ter, w h en I go for a w alk in th e evening I will go to see h e r at h e r house. You also go w ith m e
because fem ales usually like to talk to o th er fem ales." T hen H azur said, "She w ill feel afraid
to talk to me, th a t is w hy you n eed to go w ith m e. Perhaps she w ill n o t be able to th in k w h a t
to say."
In th e evening w h e n H azur w en t to h e r h o u se I also follow ed Hazur. W hen H azur en ­
tered th e h o u se H e w e n t to h e r ro o m a n d asked h o w she was feeling. In d u m a ti becam e
h a p p y o n listening to H azur's voice an d could n o t say anything. She fell o n M aster's feet in
o rder to get h e r sins excused. T hen H azur D een Dyal said, "Look m y daughter, do n o t feel
nervous, you have to face this tro u b le b u t it w ill only stay for a few m o n th s. I w ill n o t let
you die. M aster has to m ake you do b h a ja n a n d sim ran a n d finish o th er necessary deeds o f
th e w orld. In d u m a ti becam e very h a p p y a n d she h a d full faith in Hazur. A lthough th e doc­
to r h a d refused h e r to b e ad m itted in d ie hospital, yet she was having a firm faith in H azur's
saying, "W hatever w ords Satguru Ji once u tte r they never go unfulfilled. So I w ill survive an d
also be healthy." T hen she asked Hazur, "Satguru, h o w long w ill it take to recover." D een
Dyal said, "For three m o n th s it will be to o m u ch b u t later it will go slow ly a n d slowly." T hen
H e encouraged h e r by p u ttin g His h a n d o n h e r head.
W hen H azur cam e back to His house, H e said, "Kako, she becam e very happy." I said,
"H azur Sahib d id th e k in d favor, th a t is w hy she becam e happy." H azu r replied, "Okay Kako,
m y job is to favor everybody. Saints only have th e treasure o f k in d favor. As they b rin g th e
w ealth o f N aam , in th e sam e way they take it back. If th ey com e across th e o n e w ho has the
right to it, th e Saints give it to h im , otherw ise they keep quiet." T hen Satguru Ji becam e q u i­
et. I requested, "Sache Patshah, w e all, sinful h u m a n beings, c a n n o t u n d e rsta n d th e Saint's
direction." In d u m a ti requested H azur to visit Sangli a n d give His D arshan. D ata Ji said, "Yes,
m y daughter, I m u st com e."
Great is th e Satguru w h o gives life to th e dead. Today you can see q u een In d u m a ti is
healthy a n d h a p p y w ith H azur's grace. W ith in a year, she recovered from th e disease. The
King Ind u raja w en t to his father G eneral Sahib to m ake a request for H azur's visit to Sangli.

The Q ueen a n d th e King, w ith G eneral Sahib w ent to H azu r to request H im to visit Sangli.
They cam e to D era Beas. G eneral Sahib said to me, "Bibi Ji, we have com e h ere to b rin g
H azur to Sangli. You are m y sister, y o u also com e w ith us before H azur as a lawyer for m y
side to m ake this request to H azur." I said, "General Sahib, I am ready to clean th e shoes o f
th e lovers o f Hazur. W hatever you w ant, I w ill do it." Raja Sahib, Rani Sahib a n d G eneral
Sahib cam e w ith m e in H azur's ro o m to m ake th e request to b rin g H azur to Sangli. I w e n t to
H azu r a n d said, "Sache Patshah, Raja Sahib a n d his fam ily have com e to see you. W hatever
th ey request for, please accept it." H azur laughed a n d said, "Okay Kako, th ey m u st have a p ­
p o in te d y o u as th eir lawyer to m ake a request o n th eir behalf. Okay, let Raja Sahib com e to
m e." I b ro u g h t all o f th e m to Hazur. Everybody greeted H azur w ith D andw at (lying straight
o n stom ach, a gesture o f respect a n d reverence.) D een Dyal placed His h a n d o n everybody's
h ead a n d gave th em blessings. All o f th e m w ere overw helm ed w ith joy. D ata Ji looked very
h a p p y to see them . T hen Raja Sahib a n d G eneral sahib said, "Hazur, w e d o n 't deserve w h a t
we w ant. We are very sinful b u t I can 't h elp to request you to visit o u r to w n a n d purify it
w ith y o u r lotus feet. Excuse us please. We said a big th in g from o u r sm all m o u th . H azur ac­
cepted th e ir request a n d said, "Raja Sahib a n d General Sahib, y our request is accepted. I am
a servant o f m y lovers." Raja Ji said, "No, we are th e dogs at the d o o r o f Satguru Ji." H azur
said, "No G eneral Sahib, it is w ritten in th e h o ly scripture G uru G ranth Sahib: N anak begs
for th e soil o f th o se w h o recite Your nam e, th o se w ho recite Your (G od's) nam e, I sacrifice

h a p p y w ith you. You are th e real devotee a n d also do bh ajan . Raja Sahib y o u have received
a lo t o f w ealth o f th e w orld an d th e w ealth o f N aam too."
At th a t tim e, Raja Sahib was very sad because his so n died in an air crash. H e was a boy
o f 25-26 years. H azur also consoled Rani Sahiba for th e boy's d eath a n d said, "My daughter!
D o n 't worry, he h a d th e co n n ectio n w ith you only for this lim ited p erio d o f his life. W hen
th e Karma o f co n n ectio n finished h e h a d to leave th is w orld. O kay m y daughter, do n o t

sh o u ld have peace a n d you w ill have peace in m in d to o ." Rani Sahiba folded h e r h a n d s a n d
said, "Sachepatshah, I w ill do it." T hen Raja Sahib a n d G eneral Sahib m ad e th e request to
fix th e date o f H azur's visit in Sangli. H azur laughed a n d said, "So you have m ad e u p yo u r
m in d to m ake m e visit to Sangli. W ith m y visit you w ill have to arrange so m an y things a n d
secondly y o u w ill have to sp en d a lo t o f m oney." M aharaja Sahib said, "No Hazur, we d o n 't
have anything m u ch to do, everything belongs to you." T hen H azur gave th em th e tim e a n d
date for His visit. Everybody th an k e d H azur a n d becam e very happy.
Later Raja Sahib sent G eneral Sahib to rem in d H azur o f the visit. H azu r said to me,
"Kako, y o u get ready a n d pack o n e big tin o f ghee (b u tte r oil.) We have a lo t o f p eople w ith

Patshah, I w ill do according to y o u r order." In spite o f th e request o f th e p eo p le o f th e dera
n o t to go, H azur was ready to go th in k in g o f th e love o f th e sangat.
Judge Sahib M unshi Ravji, C handervanshi, civil surgeon d o cto r A m am ath a n d his son from
D elhi, tw o sh ab d readers, a n d th is slave lady o f Hazur, accom panied Hazur.
It was a long journey, so Raja Sahib already h a d b o o k e d a full c o m p a rtm e n t o f th e train
from Lahore. It was th e first class c o m p a rtm e n t for H azur's journey. H azur caught th e train
from Ju llu n d h a r station. H azur w as sitting in first class boggie a n d M unshi Rav, A m am ath
d o c to r a n d som e others w ere sitting in th e sam e boggie w ith Hazur. H azur accepted Radha
Soam i o f th e sangat a n d bad e th e m loving good bye, th e n got in to H is com partm ent.
Raja Sahib h a d arranged sangat at every railway statio n o n th e way fro m Ju llu n d h ar
to D elhi to b ring th e food, fruits, sweets a n d dryfruits for H azur a n d His p eo p le travel­
ing w ith H im . So th e sangat did according to th e advice o f Raja Sahib a t every station
w here th etrain stopped. H azur never used to eat anything from th e sangat's food. So I
was show ing everything to H azur a n d kept o n giving to th e sangat at every next station
as parshad. A large a m o u n t o f sangat was present at every station. They h a d good Dar-
sh a n o f H azur. D iw an Sahib a n d his dau g h ter Sindho were also traveling w ith Hazur.

64
 The first night, H azur stayed at th e residence o f H em C h a n d at D elhi. H e pleased h im
w ith His good D arshan, b u t d id n o t give any satsang in D elhi. H e said, "Brother, I have to
arrive in Sangli so o n so I w ill give th e satsang o n the way back. I will give o n e day here. N ow
I have to reach there soon. I have given th e tim e to Raja Sahib." At 9:00 a.m . th e next day,
H azur left for Bom bay after pleasing th e sangat by giving His b eau tifu l D arsh an a n d love.
O ne day a n d o n e n ig h t H azur sp en t in th e train. O n th e w ay I decorated H azur's table w ith
a silver jug o f water, a silver glass a n d tiffin. The b a th ro o m was cleaned too. Sache Patshah
laughed a n d said, "O h, ho, you have m ad e this c o m p a rtm e n t like a big ro o m o f m y house."
I was overjoyed to hear H azur's w ords. My Satguru Ji was great w h o was very h a p p y w ith m y
work. It is very difficult to get H azur's joy. "If G uru is happy, th e w hole w orld is happy. If
G uru is in yo u r favor, Kai ca n n o t play his tricks o n you."
W hen th e stations w ere com ing o n th e way, th e sangat was bringing fruits, sweets a n d dry
fruits for M aster a n d his crew o n b o a rd . The sangat was w andering like m o th s in o rder to see
H azur's beautiful rad ia n t face at every station. At first H azur saw th e sangat w ith a telescope
in th e m oving train. T hen H e becam e very h a p p y to see th e crow d o f th e sangat stan d in g at
th e platform w aiting for H azur's D arshan. H azur reached B om bay Railway Station giving
His D arshan an d pleasing th e sangat at every railway sta tio n o n His w ay to Bombay. By lo o k ­
ing th ro u g h th e telescope from a distance from Bom bay Railway Station, H azur said, "Kako,
there is a large crow d o f sangat a n d p e o p le a t th e platform . You take care o f th e luggage an d
m y pistol. It is Bom bay Railway Station, th ere m ay n o t b e any disturbance." ! said, "Okay m y
Satguru, as you say I will take care."
H azur w en t to th e b a th ro o m , w ashed His face a n d hands, p u t o n His new tu rb a n an d
sat o n His seat, a n d started w aiting for th e train to stop. H e was sitting having th e beauty
a n d intoxication o f N ectar o f N aam . The beau ty o f His face was really inexpressible. W hen
th e station came, H azu r sto o d at th e d o o r o f the com partm ent. In o rd er to greet Hazur, the
highest ranked officers cam e a t th e station. So m any rich p eople o f th e nearby cities h a d also
com e to receive Hazur. The Q ueens a n d Kings o f d o s e by states lied dow n o n th e p latform
in order to greet Hazur. They u sed to do D andw at. T hat was th e tra d itio n am o n g th e royal
people to give th eir respect. All in clu d in g Raja Sahib h a d th e royal scarves a ro u n d th eir necks
a n d gave th eir loving respect to H azu r by folding th eir h a n d s a n d bow ing th eir heads. There
was a big crow d o f sangat a ro u n d Hazur. So everyone, all th e servants a n d sew adars ran to
see th e scene o f H azur's welcom e. They left m e alone w ith th e luggage a n d I was enjoying
th e w hole scene from a distance stan d in g by th e luggage myself. H azu r m et everybody w ith
love a n d H e placed His soft h a n d s o n everybody's h e a d a n d blessed them .
The fireworks w ere going a n d th e m usic b a n d was b ein g played for th e greetings o f Hazur.
W hen they w ere ready to m ake m y Satguru, th e picture o f beauty, sit in th e m o to r car. The
ow ner o f Sachkhand, m y Sache P atshah asked, "Brothers, w here is m y Bibi?" T hen all o f
th em started lo o k in g for me. W hen they saw th a t I was stan d in g by th e luggage, M y Sache
Patshah him self cam e to me, th e sinful o n e a n d said, "My child, you are left by yourself
alone by th e luggage. T hen he started getting angry o n th e servants an d w hy they left m e
alone like that. "It is Bom bay Station a n d th e n th e w h o le luggage a n d she was left alone,
why?" I requested o f Hazur, "No Sache Patshah, th ey are n o t at fault an d I sent th em after
you to enjoy y o u r b eauty a n d th e b eau tifu l scene o f y o u r greetings. So please d o n 't be angry
w ith them ." D een Dyal calm ed d o w n a n d started laughing loudly. All th e servants to o k the

D ata Ji reached Lakshm ibai's house. S o m n ath a n d D h u h i Rat h a d arranged th e w hole

after finishing th e satsang H azur cam e in th e ro o m an d said, "Kako, get th e fo o d ready an d

H azur said to D u d h i Ram, "After giving satsang to d ay a n d tom orrow , I have to go day after
to m o rro w to Pune, a n o th e r city close to Bombay. T hen I w ill give y o u tim e o n m y way back."
People o f B om bay w ere very m u ch devoted to H azur a n d obeyed h im lovingly. So D u d h i
Ram said, "Okay Sache Patshah, as y o u w ish." H azur said, "Kako, these are loving people. I
w a n t to please th em in every way."
O n th e th ird day, G eneral Sahib already b o o k e d th e first class c o m p a rtm e n t for Pune.
H azu r left for P une from Bombay. At P u n e statio n th ere was a large crow d in such a way th a t
all th e p eo p le w an ted to know w h o was th e p erso n for w h o m there w as a large crowd. H azur
w as walking, looking like a y o u n g boy. In Pune, G eneral Sahib h a d b u ilt a new house. H e
to o k H azur in th a t new h o u se to stay in. Lakshm ibai h a d decorated th e h o u se very b e a u ti­
fully. Sache P atshah stayed in th a t lucky house. G eneral Sahib was very happy. W hen he
talked to Hazur, H azu r used to say, "Ask Bibi, because y o u a n d she, b ro th e r a n d sister, do
a lo t o f seva together." So m any m agicians w ere present there to have H azur's D arshan. So
Sache P atshah m et everybody w ith love.
The Q ueen o f N epal (a n eighboring country o f India in th e n o rth at th e fo o t o f th e H i­
m alayas) also was th ere to have H azur's D arshan. She was th e friend o f Q u een Lakshm ibai.
As so o n as th e Q ueen h a d D arshan o f Hazur, she becam e m ad w ith love o f Hazur. H er joys
knew n o b o u n d s to see th e spiritual face o f Hazur. She was surprised to see th e w hite an d
b rig h t b eard o n H azur's face. Looking at H azu r she said, "This G uru looks like G uru N anak."
She kept o n looking at H azur's face again a n d again. She was very pleased to be there. H a­
z u r never broke anybody's heart. Laughingly h e said, "W hat sh o u ld I do Kako, this Q ueen
is chasing m e. She does n o t leave m e." I said, "Hazur, w h a t can th e p o o r Q ueen do? Your
b eauty has magic, so she is attracted a n d v ibrated by y o u r spirituality a n d grace." Five rays
o f Light o n y o u r forehead kills th e five dacoits so so o n th a t th ey tu rn in to y o u r grip o f devo­
tio n a n d love." G o dhw ood was taking H azu r to His residence in th e evening an d th e p o o r
Q ueen o f N epal was b ein g attracted a n d said, "H azur please visit m y palace first." She h a d
h e r beautiful palace in P une to o . H azur laughed a n d said, "Look Bibi, you tell h er sweetly
th a t I w ill go to G odhw ood's h o u se first a n d th e n I w ill go to h e r house. So you go w ith h e r
in h e r palace before I leave an d tell som e spiritual stories to h e r so th a t she can have som e
courage." I laughed a n d said, "Hazur, y o u w a n t to get rid o f h e r a n d are p u ttin g m e in to the
m atter." Laughingly H azur said, "Kako, y o u are m ad e on ly for th is purpose." I said, "Okay
Hazur." All th e peo p le standing th ere lau g h ed at H azur's conversation w ith m e."
G od h w o o d was a British m an satsangie. H e was also in Pune. After th e satsang in th e eve­
n in g h e was taking H azur in his house. T he Q ueen becam e excited a n d requested th a t G uru
Ji sh o u ld go to h er h o u se first. But H azu r was still going to G odhw ood's house. The Q ueen
was h o ld in g m y arm a n d was n o t leaving it. So she to o k m e to h e r h o u se a n d H azur w ent
to G odhw ood's house. She h a d already filled th e brass plates w ith th e sweets a n d coins o f
gold. W h en D een Dyal, w ith his kindness reached h e r house, th e Q ueen h a d h e r tw o d a u g h ­
ters a n d tw o sons sta n d to greet th e Satguru. D een Dyal gave a lo t o f love to h e r children.
W hen H azur entered th e palace, th e Q ueen was to u ch in g H azur's feet again a n d again. She
was b ecom ing m ad w ith th e love o f Hazur. She b ro u g h t five o r six golden plates to offer
to Hazur. H azu r to u ch ed th em a n d m ad e parshad, th e n gave back all to th e Q ueen. H azur
said, "There is n o o rd er o f m y Satguru to take even a single needle from anybody's house. I
know you b ro u g h t everything w ith love so I have received everything. So I am giving back to
you as a parshad. So, th in k in g th e m p arsh ad you divide am o n g y o u r children a n d kith an d
kin." I said to th e Q u een (Rani Sahiba), "H azur is giving y o u a lo t o f parshad, so you keep
it w ith you. You are very fortunate to have such a k in d o f p arsh ad w hich H azur has m ad e
for you. Even th e n th e Q ueen was n o t agreed. T hen H azu r said to m e, "Kako w om en listen
to w om en, so you tell h e r clearly th a t H azu r does n o t take anything, w hatever H azur says

66
accept it." I, w ith H azur's directions again to ld th e Q u een to keep th e parshad. It is benefi­
cial for h e r a n d h e r family. Then finally th e Q ueen h a d to agree to m y proposal. H azur never
takes anything from th e sangat. People w ere follow ing H azur having m o n ey w ith th e m to
give to H azur b u t H azur neglected all o f them . Saints are always detached from this w orldly
m aterial. H azur h a d kept his h eart filled w ith th e w ealth o f N aam a n d Love. S h ah an sh ah
H azur stayed for h a lf an h o u r a n d talked a b o u t spirituality. H e gave His blessings to th e
Q ueen a n d h e r fam ily a n d got leave o f her. The Q ueen requested H azur for in itiatio n . Sat-
guru said, "My daughter, I have n o tim e. I am leaving for Sangli tom orrow . I w ill give it to
you o n m y w ay back."
H azur d id n o t like to discourage anyone so he p u t o ff th e Q ueen lovingly. G eneral Sa­
h ib gave a great respect to H azur an d His peo p le w h o cam e w ith H im . At n ig h t I b ro u g h t
th e fo o d w hich was cooked by Lakshm ibai. W hen H azu r uncovered th e fo o d tray H e said,
"Kako, such am o u n ts o f fo o d I eat for six m o n th s. Even th e n I w ill n o t be able to finish it. It
is to o m uch. You go a n d b ring som e utensils a n d I w ill have as m u ch as I need to eat." H azur
never never gave His fo o d w hich once it w as started to b e eaten. So I b ro u g h t o th er utensils
a n d H azur to o k som e vegetables a n d som e lentil soup (daal) an d o n e chapatti (roti.) The
rest o f th e fo o d H e gave back. Lakashm ibai divided th e fo o d a m o n g th e m em bers o f h er
fam ily because H azu r h a d to u ch e d the fo o d a n d m ad e it parshad. W hen H azur was d o n e
eating, L akshm ibai cam e to pick th e utensils in o rder to clean them . W hen she was picking
th e m u p H azur said, "No m y daughter, it is Lajo's job to clean m y utensils. O ne w h o cleans
m y utensils loses h o m e an d fam ily a n d has n o th in g in life. So let it go. Let h e r clean m y
utensils. You b elong to a royal fam ily a n d have to perform so m any duties a n d deeds in th e
w orld. If y o u clean m y utensils y o u will n o t b e able to find these royal luxuries." T hen Lak­
sh m ib ai kept quite a n d I cleaned th e utensils. H azur m e t G eneral Sahib for so m eth in g th e n
w ent to His bed.
Satguru li got u p in th e m orning. After d o n e w ith everything, H e gave His D arshan to
th e sangat a n d was ready to leave for Sangli. Raja Sahib also cam e there to take Hazur. The
train was stan d in g at th e railway station. At a b o u t 2:00 p.m ., after having lunch, H azur left
for Sangli. G eneral Sahib, Raja Sahib an d Lakshm ibai also sat w ith H azur in th e car. D eputy
Sahib, D octor Sahib a n d m yself w ere also in th e sam e train. The w h o le jo u rn ey w ent o n in
spiritual talk. Raja Sahib was listening to H azu r w ith love a n d attention.
In the evening we reached Sangli. The o th e r Kings a n d Q ueens a n d th eir servants w ere w ait­
ing at th e railway station. Raja Sahib was a loving devotee o f H azu r an d was a very peaceful
King. As so o n as H e got dow n from the train he picked u p H azur's luggage. His servants a n d
o th er m inisters tried to take th e luggage from h im , b u t th e King d id n o t give it to th em . H e
said, "W ith great difficulties I have got this chance to serve m y Satguru. H azur said such jivas
(h u m a n beings) take th e benefit." All th e peo p le from the kings side greeted H azur w ith
D andw at. Satguru Ji, after m eeting everybody reached th e city. Raja Sahib h a d lighted th e
w hole city in the h o n o r o f Hazur. The palace in w hich th e King was residing was vacated for
Hazur. The King arranged a ro o m for h im self to live in. They d id n o t go to th eir o th er palace
because they w anted to stay close to H azur so th a t they can have H azur's D arshan. In duraja
h a d decorated H azur's ro o m w ith too m an y precious things. It was a royal room . W hen H a­
zu r entered th e palace th e n they started th e fireworks. Raja Sahib adm ired his destiny.
H azur purified th e palace w ith his enterance. Rani Sahiba a n d Tika Rani w ith h e r daughters
w ished H azur by dandw at. They to u ch ed H azur's feet w ith th e ir foreheads. D een Dyal gave
His love to everyone a n d blessed everybody by p u ttin g His h a n d o n th eir head. Raja Sahib's
fam ily was overw helm ed w ith joy an d all h a d a peace o f m ind. T hen Sache P atshah cam e
in His ro o m w here H e was to stay. W hen H azur saw His ro o m H e said, "O h ho, it is to o
m u ch done." The curtain o f silver th read ed cloth was covering His bed. H azur rem oved th a t
sh in in g curtain from His b e d a n d to o k away th e o th e r show y things too. Raja Sahib was very
po lite an d full o f love. H e was afraid to say anything before Hazur. He kept o n looking at
H azur quietly.
T hen I requested, "Satguru Ji, have a little rest, th e n w hatever you order, w e w ill do that. Raja
Sahib has decorated th e ro o m for Satguru Ji w ith love a n d devotion. You m ake th eir seva suc­
cessful an d fulfill th eir desire." D een Dyal, th e treasure o f kindness laughed a n d said, "Okay
Bibi, as y o u say, I agree. But are y o u th e lawyer o n b e h a lf o f Raja Sahib." I said, "The fee o f a
lawyer I will charge from you." H appily H azur said, "You know th e fees very well. At first I
rebuked y o u tw o tim es, n ow I w ill rebuke y o u fo u r tim es as a p ay m en t o f fees." Everybody
laughed a n d m y joy knew n o b o u n d s. They w ere all loving devotees, so H azur's face becam e
red w ith th o se w ords said to me.
D ata Ji's chair was also beautifully decorated. D ata Ji sat in th e chair. After giving joy to
Raja Sahib H e said, "Raja Sahib, y o u r palace is very beautiful. You have a g o o d destiny. Be­
ing a King y o u are a lover o f N aam a n d bh ajan . Lucky is yo u r birth. You also do m ed itatio n
a n d sim ran an d you have a lo t o f patience. So I am very h a p p y w ith you. You have faced so
m any difficulties for m y visit. So m an y things you have arranged." Raja Sahib said, "Thank
you Hazur, y o u show ered yo u r grace o n us. You gave y o u r D arshan to us w h o are very sinful.
We gave y o u a lo t o f tro u b le for do in g a lo n g jo u rn ey for us. Please forgive us." H azur said,
"No brother, I did n o t have any trouble. I am always for th e services o f th e sangat. Those w ho
have th e love for G od, Satguru is very loving to th em . W hat th e Bani says:-
If you w a n t to see th e M aster
D o n o t break anybody's heart.
Because M aster lives in th e heart.
If you have desire to see the Master,
Keep th e d eath in y o u r h a n d a n d com e in m y street. D o n o t h esitate sacrificing y o u r head,
th e n step o n this p ath . If so m eb o d y feels p ro u d o f m aking sacrifce, this is n o t acceptable to
th e M aster (Akal Purush.) We sh o u ld n o t give place to ego ("I.") "You" a n d "You" is accept­
able in th e h o m e o f Master. W herever ego ("I") stands, th e perso n is gone. So Raja Sahib, th e
p a th o f spirituality is very u n iq u e b u t it has a high level, only th e luckiest can do it."
Raja Sahib always listened to H azu r lovingly. T hen Induraja sang a b eau tifu l sh ab d b e ­
fore Hazur. The caretaker o f th e poor, m y Satguru Ji becam e very happy. Raja Sahib h a d m ade
arrangem ents for all th e people w h o h a d com e w ith Hazur. H e served fo o d to th e m to o an d
th e n H e to o k som e rest. Raja Sahib always obeyed Hazur. W henever H azur sen t for him , he
cam e soon. Raja Sahib sp en t a lo t o f m o n ey in th e joy o f H azur's visit. H aving his dinner,
H azur w e n t to his bed.
In th e m o rn in g H azu r got up. After d o n e w ith His m o rn in g jo b H e gave th e satsang at
8:00 a.m . All th e y o u n g an d o ld becam e very h a p p y to have H azur's D arshan. After satsang,
Raja Sahib to o k H azu r a n d all th e staff o f H azu r for a w alk a n d to show th e guest house, or­
p hanage a n d th e tem p le o f Raja Sahib. H azu r asked m e to go w ith H im w herever Raja Sahib
was taking H im .
The Raja Sahib h a d his ears ready for H azu r a n d w e n t carefully to show th e places. H e
show ed th e zoo, guest h o u se a n d his royal gardens. W hen we w e n t to see th e royal guest
house, H azu r sat in th e hall a n d said, "Show th e guest h o u se to o u r Bibi because she is very
fo n d o f greeting th e guests." H e again lau g h ed a n d said, "Go m y ch ild a n d lo o k at th e guest
house, lo o k nicely. Raja Sahib has arranged m any things for th e guests a n d y o u also do th a t

hap p y w ith her. She greets a n d serves th e visitors w ith love a n d devotion." T hen I w en t w ith
Raja Sahib. Raja Sahib h a d to o m an y big closets in th e hall. There w ere th e crockery, towels,
d in n er sets, tea sets, soaps, oil, a n d clothes k e p t in th e closets separately w ith th e stickers o n

a b o u t th e guest h o u se a n d said th a t it sh o u ld be like that. Everything w as placed in order.
T hen H azur w en t to see th e tem ple. H azur was very h a p p y to see th e tem ple. H azu r liked the
beauty o f statues o f gods an d goddesses because H e H im self was an engineer.
W hen H e was ready to com e back after having lo oked a t th e tem ple, I to ld Hazur, "Please
give som e m o n ey to th e priest o f th e tem ple." H azur laughed a n d said, "O kay Bibi, w h at

68
sh o u ld b e given?" I said, "W hatever is y o u r w ish Satguru Ji." H azur gave tw enty five rupees
to th e priest. T hen H azur laughed a n d said, "Brother, I d id n o t know anything a b o u t this.
O u r Bibi said th a t I m u st give m oney, so I gave to you." T hen Satguru Ji w ent to see th e or­

w here elephants w ere stan d in g in line. They w ere already tam ed. W h en H azur reached there,
all th e elephants greeted H azur raising th e ir tru n k a t th e sam e tim e. T hat was a very p leasan t
tim e w h e n all th e elephants greeted Hazur. They w ere royal elephants a n d w ere decorated
w ith go o d b rig h t clothes a n d jewelry. Satguru is great w h o m anim als w ished well, w h a t to
say a b o u t m en. Even th e bird s a n d anim als used to to u ch H azur's feet a n d bow ed th eir
heads. W herever H e w ent, everybody was stan d in g w ith folded hands. N o b o d y could speak

looked at H im was attracted at th e s a m e tim e an d started th in k in g h im self th e luckiest one.
After show ing th e streets a n d th e m arkets to Hazur, Raja Sahib to o k H azur to th e palace.
Raja Sahib h a d arranged a lift for Hazur. It was very very beautiful a n d expensive. H azur
D een Dyal sat o n th e lift. I th o u g h t th a t Raja Sahib h a d this ro o m for his private m eet­

S h ah an sh ah was having a h u m o ro u s disposition. H e said to Raja Sahib, "Call Bibi because
we d o n 't have a lift like this in o u r area. So let her see it too. D o n o t tell h e r a b o u t this lift
because w h e n it m oves she w ill b e scared. Call Bibi a n d tell h e r H azur w ants h e r here." I was
going w h e n Raja Sahib called m e a n d said, "Bibi com e back, H azur w ants you to b e w ith
H im ." I said, "No Brother, you have a private talk w ith H azur so finish y our talk first." Shah­
a n sh ah h e a rd m e talking to Raja Sahib a n d in a lo u d voice said, "Kako, come, there is n o th ­

feet a n d sto o d b e h in d Satguru's chair h o ld in g it. O n th e o th er side Raja Sahib stood. The lift
was to go up. W hen th e sw itch was tu rn e d on, it m oved a n d shaked a little a n d I was scared.
I started to h o ld H azur a n d H azu r gave a lo u d laugh. Raja Sahib said, "H azur m u st give m e
His love too. Bibi d id n o t w orry a b o u t h e r life b u t she h eld H azur very tightly so H azur m ay
n o t fall." Shri S h ah an sh ah laughed lo u d ly a n d said, "Listen Raja Sahib, if y o u have a lo t o f
love for m e th e n w h o w ill take care o f th e kingdom . T hose w h o have th e arrows o f love, they
are left b e h in d from th e hom e." Listening to H azur's w ords Raja Sahib becam e quiet. T hen
D ata Ji w e n t to His ro o m a n d h a d a talk w ith Raja Sahib, praised his kingdom a n d his ar­
rangem ents. "M aster gave you N aam a n d to take care o f th e kingdom an d I w ish H e sh o u ld
bless you w ith m ore strength for h a n d lin g y o u r rule over th e k ingdom an d pow er o f N a a m ."
H azur said this to Raja Sahib a n d gave His blessings. T hen Raja Sahib to o k leave o f H azur
an d said, "Hazur, have y o u r m eal, it is already late." Raja Sahib always to o k care o f Hazur.
The daughters o f Raja Sahib a n d Tikka Ram h a d th e desire to pick u p th e plate o f Hazur.
Being Q ueens, even th e n they h a d th e desire to pick u p H azur's plate. I used to cook H azur's
food. T hose girls decided to serve Hazur. They w an ted to take th e plate o f food from m e

H azur's plate. H azur accepted th e ir request. After th a t H azur w ent to His bed. N o b o d y could
talk w ith H azur freely. So they asked m e to serve H azu r w ith fo o d an d to clean his utensils.
Raja Sahib h a d arranged a garden for satsang. S h ah an sh ah w ent to give th e satsang in th e
garden at 4:00 p.m . Raja Sahib was w ith Hazur. The stage was highly decorated. Raja Sahib
sat o n th e g ro u n d in th e satsang b u t D een Dyal was so k ind th a t H e called Raja Sahib a n d
asked H im to sit o n th e stage w ith H im . H azu r said, "Raja Sahib, you are sitting in public,
it is very h a rd for m e to see you sitting o n th e ground. So you com e an d sit w ith m e." Raja
Sahib said w ith his folded hands, "No Satguru Ji, I w ill sit at y o u r feet." H azur becam e very

 T hen H azur related th e story o f Raja Janak (father in law o f Lord Ram a), "Look Raj Sahib,
Fakirs (Saints) u n d e rsta n d everything. The p erson w h o com es in th e co m p an y o f Saints in
spite o f being a King, W ho und erstan d s th e Saints, w h o looks for Fakiri (S ainthood), being
a King has a brave heart. T hen it takes n o tim e to find Fakiri. Fakir looks for th e receiver o f
such a spiritual w ealth." T hen H azu r continued, "Saints never refuse to give th e w ealth o f
N aam to such a receiver. W hen King Janak said th a t h e w anted to have th e spiritual know l­
edge w ith in tw o a n d a h a lf hours, all th e rishis (sages) started to criticize. Ashtaw akra Ji (a
Perfect M aster) saw th a t all w ere b ecom ing unsuccessful to give such kin d o f know ledge to
Raja Janak. H e cam e o n th e stage. His b o d y was n o t straight a n d H e h a d m an y curves in His
body. Every rishi started laughing at him . A shtaw akra Ji said, "I w as th in k in g all o f you are
great Saints, b u t you all are o f a low er caste. To look at th e skin is th e job o f a cobbler a n d
th e rogues. You all are ignorant." O n this all becam e quite. Ashtaw akra Ji asked King Janak,
"Do you w a n t to get know ledge?" King Janak said, "Yes Sir." A shtaw akra Ji said, "Look, y o u r
body, m in d a n d w ealth, everything is m in e now. D o n o t consider th e m yours." The King
replied, "As y o u w ish, I agree." Ashtaw akra Ji said, "Janak you have surrendered everything
to m e a n d n o th in g belongs to you. N ow y o u go a n d sit am o n g th e shoes, th e shoes o f th e
sangat." Ashtaw akra Ji w anted th e pride o f Kingship to go away fro n his h eart an d to b ring
his m in d dow n. T hen A shtaw akra Ji said, "Go a n d sit in m ed id atio n . If th o u g h ts com e for
y o u r Q ueen, tell th e m she belongs to A shtaw akra Ji. Close you eyes an d fix y o u r a tten tio n
o n m e a n d sit dow n." The King Janak sat for m ed itatio n . T hen th e King Janak becam e hap p y
a n d said, "I w ill do th at." W ith this th e satsang was over. Raja Sahib was very h a p p y to h ear
H azur's story.
In th e evening Raja Sahib to o k H azur for a walk. N ext day Raja Sahib to o k H azu r to
show his fort, w eapons an d th e treasure. H e got H azur's blessing by having a lo o k at th e th e

very hap p y to h ear H azur's stories in th e satsang.
H aving an evening walk, H azur cam e back to th e palace. O n th e th ird day Raja Sahib
show ed his agricultural farm s a n d fields a n d villages to Hazur. W hen Flazur w en t to see th e
fields, o n e o f th em was th e field o f tobacco. H azur was strict o n His principles. He d id n o t
enter th a t field. H e just passed th ro u g h it. T hen Raja Sahib got H azur's sacred lo o k a t his
oxes, buffaloes a n d cows. T hen H azur sat in th e field a n d having a lo o k o n th e seeda an d
m aking everybody happy, cam e back to th e palace a n d laughingly said, "Kako, I did n o t en ­
ter th e field o f tabacco, I just passed it. A Sikh does n o t like to to u ch tobacco." I said, "H azur
you are very strict to spirituality as well as to y o u r religion. People d o u b t a n d say th a t you
have entered Radha Soam i for n o thing.
70
On the other hand you are making good for the Sikhs. Then Sache Patshah said, "Bibi, the Radha
Soami name is becoming a fear for them. I also, when I went to my town Mehma Singhwala after stay­
ing in Dera Beas, I felt ashamed of the worldly society. Bibi Rukko also went with me. I told Bibi ruko
not to read Hazur Bani sitting on the roof. But who can stop Bibi Ruko? On that very night she went
upstairs and read two or three shabds loudly on the roof. With her loud reading of shabds I also be­
came fearless with the name of Radha Soami. The heart became fearless from the people of my town."
Hazur was talking when Raja Sahib and his wife Yashoda Bai came. Yashoda Bai's legs were weak
but she was a good meditator. Yashoda Bai talked about her inner progress with Hazur. Listening to
her Hazur became very happy and said, "I am not happy with Kingships as much as I am happy with
true meditators." Then Hazur told Yashoda Bai a story, "A Bibi named Husaini came to me and started
saying that she wanted to talk about two things concerning the inside with me. I knew that she was a
good meditator. So I took her away from the men and started listening to her. She explained everything
about Trikuti's inner scenes. Behind us Ram Ratan of Chimmyan Ghrahn (a village) was listening to our
talk secretly. I said, very good Bibi, I want to give you all the blessings more than the pundits of Kashi (a
holy city.) Bibi. meditation's progress is very sweet." Then finishing his meeting with Raja Sahib and his
wife, Hazur went for rest. On the second day the Queen requested me for having the look of Hazur at her
baby. Rai Sahib and Raja Sahib brought their grandson to me. I held the baby in my arms and went to
show him to Hazur. Deen Dyal got up and loved the baby and said, "Oh brother, you have come again.
Due to having a last wish for the Kingdom you have taken birth to fulfill your last desire." The baby
looked at Hazur's face and laughed. All present there became very happy. Then Hazur gave the name to
the baby. Raja Sahib made merry and he gave the silver tea set to everyone who had come with Hazur.
Hazur gave two hundred and fifty rupees to him. All the people gave some rupees to him.
Raja Sahib had built a new house for initiation for Hazur. Hazur gave initiation in that house. He
initiated five to six hundred people. At the time of initiation Raja Sahib and the Queen were there in
the service of Hazur. After initiation, Hazur asked Raja Sahib to take leave of him. Raja Sahib said, "We
are not satisfied yet." Raja Sahib took the picture of Hazur with his family. I still have it with me. After
giving ten days to Raj Sahib, Hazur got ready to go back to the dera. One day before His departure
Hazur blessed Raja Sahib and his family with his Darshan and parshad. He gave them some teachings
and encouragement. All became very happy. In the morning Hazur left Sangli. All the members of the
family and the sangat were shedding tears at the time of Hazur's departure. Looking at their true love
Hazur said, "Do not cry, I am very happy and impressed with your love and devotion. You did a lot of
service for me and for my people. I am always with you. Guru never departs. Even when He leaves the
body, He changes it and comes back in another body and sees the devotees. He never leaves. Guru's
teachings always remain fresh and with that His love also remains forever."
Then Hazur came to Pune by train. He again came to General Sahib and stayed in his house. There
were so many military employees belonging to m ountain areas posted in Pune. They all came to have
Hazur's Darshan. The Queen of Nepal also came to see Hazur. Sache Patshah stayed at Pune for three
days. Hazur again came back to Bombay. He stayed in Bombay for eight or nine days and gave good
satsangs. Gurbant Judge's relatives were also living in Bombay. They were running a factory of brass
utensils. Hazur was very fond of having a look at the factories. Judge Sahib requested Hazur to visit his
house. Hazur happily gave His visit to his and his relative's houses. Then He went to see the factory
and watched everything in the factory. Judge Sahib became very happy. Hazur Ji said, "Brother Gur-
baksh you also learn all types of work in the factory. I want you to become a rich man also and collect
a lot of money." Gurbaksh said, "Hazur your blessings are needed for me, thank you." Later, Hazur's
words turned true and Gurbaksh is one of the richest men in that area. Then Hazur made a visit to
the residence of Shankar Das Rai Bahadur and his daughter in law. Then He visited Bini's house and
pleased her and her husband. Hazur also gave Darshan to the ocean and looked at the ocean. Then He
went to Shanti and her brother's house. Hazur also purified the clinic of Hamam Singh's son who was
also a doctor. Making everybody happy Hazur came back to His residence. Hazur laughed and said,
"Bring food Kako and eat, thank God all the people became very happy and their desire is fulfilled."
I said, "Hazur you must be very tired, it is a long time you spent today." Hazur said, "No Bibi, I don't
feel tired. I am happy in the happiness of the sangat. The body is not mine, it is my Baba Ji's gift.

71
The sangat also belongs to Him. I am grateful to Baba Ji who gave His blessings to serve His sangat." I
said, "Hazur, you are Great. Great is your m otion and Great is your patience. You know your activities.
We sinful jivas (human beings) know nothing. We can only know if your grace is on us and when your
help is with us." Sache Patshah went to have rest. In the evening Hazur gave the satsang. He initiated
some of the people who were seekers of Naam. Hazur gave th e m all th e directions o f b h a ja n an d
sim ran a n d advised th e m to d o th e m ed ita tio n regularly. T hen H e w en t to Brijlal Ji's, w h o

Next day, right at 9:00 p.m ., H azur caught th e train. The train was tw o h o u rs late. M any

after tw enty days o f His journey. At Ju llu n d h ar Railway S tation Sardar Bhagat Sangh a n d the

72
sangat were standing. Hazur gave His Darshan. Sardar Bhagat Singh and his daughter took
Hazur to their residence. Damodar brought the car for Hazur. Hazur stayed for two hours in
His house and sat in the car. Then He reached Dera Beas at 12:00 p.m. Following Him, we all
reached there and Hazur met everybody. Everbody bowed their heads and touched Hazur s
feet and He gave His beautiful Darshan to them. Then Hazur asked, "Bibi, the whole lug­
gage is okay?" I said, "Yes Hazur, with your grace everything is here." Then Hazur said that
the people o f the area where he had traveled were very good devotees and loving, but the
people in the dera talk much. The people in the dera had no respect for spirituality, but as
for those people who lived outside the dera, they had a great respect and love for spirituality.
They were very fond o f taking the advantage o f satsang and initiation. Those who had keen
interest in finding the spirituality got the full fruit o f it. "Those w ho listen from one ear and
let it go from the other ear could not get the fruit." Saying these words Hazur went inside
His house and washed His face and hands and ate His food. Then He went to take rest. The
sangat went back to their places after having Hazur's Darshan.

Story #41:
Story o f Bibi o f Rawalpindi

A lady (bibi) in Rawalpindi city was a great devotee o f Hazur. No one was A satsangie in
her family. Her daughter in law only got the initiation. She came to dera with her daughter
in law in order to have Hazur's Darshan and satsang. Her daughter in law had a son o f one
and a half years. The little boy fell sick in the dera. Then he died. His grandmother became
nervous thinking that why did the boy die in dera, when he would have died in the house at
Rawalpindi. Now her family members would be angry at her, and they would never let her
come to dera. She put the dead child in the lap o f Vidya, a lady from Syalkot in Pakistan and
started crying. Vidya told her that she needed not to cry. She said that they would request
Hazur for his life. Vidya had a firm faith in Hazur. Vidya took the dead boy at the door o f
Hazur's residence. She sat there. Hazur was about to come out. Chandar Vanshi, a doctor
and a civil surgeon was also with Hazur. She requested the doctor to check the dead boy.
The doctor said why she was asking him. He advised her to request Hazur. As soon as Ha­
zur came outside, He asked, "Tell Bibi why are you sitting here?" Vidya told Hazur that the
grandson o f the lady from Punjab was dead. She was crying, fearing from her family mem­
bers who would never let her come in satsang at Beas. She with great difficulty convinced her
daughter in law to become satsangie. It would have been good if the boy had died at home.
"Satguru Ji, help her and give her your grace," Vidya said to Hazur. Hazur stood quietly for
ten minutes and said, "My daughter, no need o f feeling any fear. Just wrap the body with a
blanket and take him to her." She wrapped the body and took him in her room where she
was staying. Hazur simply told her to wrap the body o f the boy with a blanket. When he be­
came warm they should give him hot tea. Hazur did not ask her about the little boy whether
he was dead or alive. Hazur said about the little boy that he would get well. When she was in
her room watching the dead boy wrapped with the blanket, the boy opened the eyes. After
waiting for two hours the boy was alive with Hazur's grace. Then she gave him two drops o f
tea to drink. The boy was very healthy (today he is still alive and he is five years old now.)
Hazur's grace was great, He used to give life to the dead. He used to listen to everybody's
request and fulfilled it. "Hazur, you were the Great Master, great is your grace. No Master
before had been like you and neither would be like you."
 Story #42:
The Story of giving parshad to the patients suffering with leprosy at Tam Taran
(town in Punjab located between the city of Amritsar and the dera. It is also the town of the fifth
Guru)

So once, Sache Patshah thought o f the patients o f leprosy in Tam Taran. Bibi Hiradevi
who was a doctor from another town, Kapurthala in Punjab asked Hazur, if He would accept
her seva for these patients? Hazur accepted her seva. So Baba Ji at Tam Taran sent for Hazur.
Baba Ji had a great respect and love for Hazur. So Sache Patshah went to Tam Taran with the
sangat. Hazur took some parshad in the bags and some clothes, some fruits and also two
rupees notes with Him to give to the patients. Shri Baba Ji gave a warm welcome to Hazur.
Those who were lucky and present to see the spiritual swans together did enjoy the spectacle.
Even the gods in Heaven were enjoying the beauty o f two Saints. The protectors o f the world
having spiritual color were laughing and talking with each other. Their beauty and praise
were inexpressible. Bibi Santi, Nanta Bibi and Bibi Gurdevi Ji came to touch Hazur's feet.
Three o f them met me with love and respect. Deen Dyal gave His blessings and love to them
and pleased them with his beautiful smile. Then both the holy saints were busy in talking.
Sangat was enjoying. Then Hazur gave the satsang. Baba Ji and Hazur both were sitting on
the stage and there was a shower o f holy words in the satsang. Shri Baba Ji always gave a
good respect to Hazur more than that o f his elder brother. So Baba Ji always made Hazur
give the satsang. Whenever Hazur was at Tam Taran, Shri Baba Ji never did the satsang. After
satsang they ate the food. So both the holy Saints decided to wash away the karmas o f the
patients suffering with leprosy. Shri Baba Ji gave the responsibility to the devotee Deva Singh
for going to the leprosy hospital. So brother Deva Singh agreed with that seva. The next day
every thing was sent to the hospital. Satguru Ji said, "Bibi, you also get ready to go with me."
I said to Hazur, "You, Sache Patshah go in the car and I will come with the sangat before
you reach the hospital because there is a crowd o f sangat and I have to make the way for
your car so Hazur will reach freely in the car." Shri Deen Dyal happily said to me, "My child,
you always think good and it is good advice, I will go in the motorcar." With the sangat I
just reached the hospital when Hazur also reached there in the motorcar. Deen Dyal and
Deva Singh Ji w ho is the successor o f Shri Baba Ji at Tam Taran reached and got down from
the motorcar. The sangat had good Darshan. Both Hazur Ji and Deva Singh Ji reached the
veranda, then sat on the chairs. I was sitting at a distance when Hazur with His kind favor
called me and asked me to sit by Him. I was sitting behind Deen Dyal's chair. Shahanshah
started giving away the parshad. The patients were coming to Hazur turn by turn.

Story #43:
Benefit o f the physical Darshan o f the true Saints

Once Sache Patshah had gone to Dalhousie (Hill Station.) Shahanshah had an itch and
an ache on His back o ff and on. After being free from the sangat at 11:00 p.m., He was get­
ting massage sitting on His bed in front o f the fireplace. The outer doors were closed because
He was sitting with no shirt, so that He might not catch cold. Somebody knocked at the
door at 11:00 p.m. Deen Dyal (Kind Master) asked me, "Kako my daughter, who is knock­
ing at the door? Look, somebody has come to me bringing worldly message." I laughed and
said, "You must know." I left massage and went to see outside. When I opened the door I
saw Dharamchand from Amritsar (name o f the city) was standing. He was very nervous. He
said, "Bibi, I came home today and I received a telegram from home and it says I should
come home soon. I am very nervous if everything is okay at home." Looking at him I did not
even get permission from Hazur and brought him inside. He told Hazur about the telegram
he received from home. Hazur closed His eyes. After five minutes He opened His eyes and
said, " My son, everything is good at home. There is some urgent work, but you leave early

74
in the morning." I helped him to take parshad from Hazur. Then he left soon. When he left
Hazur said to me, "Kako, you must have told that you are bringing him in so that I may wrap
myself with a sheet on my shoulders. My sweet daughter, Saints never show their body to
someone who is keeping worldly duties. Otherwise Saints have to keep him in His company.
Look Kako, I tell you a story."
Hazur told, "Once a satsangie named Sukhdyal was my Gurbai (means having the same
Gum.) He heard satsang from Hazur Baba Ji (Baba Jaimal Singh.) The words o f the satsang
were "What a praiseworthy man is he whom Satguru (Master or Gum) gives embrace." So
one day Baba Ji was taking a bath. He was wearing only underwear. Sukhdyal came and em­
braced Baba Ji. Baba Ji said, " Leave me. It is not the trade o f being stubborn but it is the trade
o f Love." He said, "No, I am not leaving you. Is that true that the lover leaves his beloved?"
Baba Ji again said, "Leave now otherwise you will repent later." He did not leave Baba Ji.
Baba Ji was very strong and He got Himself released from him. When Baba Ji was done with
His bath, he again embraced Baba Ji. Then Baba Ji said, "Okay, you were supposed to get
salvation in this birth, but now it will take four births for you to be liberated and you from
now, will not be able to have my Darshan again. "Sukhdyal being angry left the place and
went away. They sent a man to bring him back from the railway station but he did not come.
After this event he could not be able to have Baba Ji's Darshan even at the time o f Baba Ji's
physical departure. When he came on the news o f Baba Ji's physical departure he came to
the railway station but the train already had gone. So he could not have Baba Ji's dead body
Darshan even."
Hazur said, " The words o f Gum are never changed, even though the whole Brahmand
changes. The seva which is given happily by Gum can only be successful, otherwise it has
reverse effect." Then, listening to this story I pleaded Hazur that it was not the fault o f Da-
ramchand. It was my fault that I brought him inside. Hazur said, laughing, "Neither I am
angry with you nor with Daramchand. You were just looking at him so nervous and brought
him in and he did not know I was sitting with no shirt on. So you both are faultless. But see
Kako, whenever the Saints are on this Earth they have highest power within. The Saint, if He
eats any fruit from a tree or plucks a twig from it for using for bmshing His teeth, or rides
on any animal or any insect dies under His feet, it quickly gets the human birth and gets out
o f the eighty four circles o f life. Blessed are those who get the opportunity to serve the Gum
physically and Gum gets his seva physically. It is good progress in his spiritual life. It is the
benefit o f meditation o f his past life who can get seva o f the physical body o f the Gum. Gum
only gets His seva (service) from those who have done meditation with love and devotion
in their past life."
Listening to such golden words o f Hazur, I was intoxicated with love. Hazur, saying His
words went to take rest and I, wishing His Namaskas (goodnight) came out. I used to admire
my luck also having the chance to hear the golden words from my Gum. Dharamchand
reached his home and came to know there was urgent work for his benefit. He was a tme
devotee and was reciting, "My Satguru is great." He thanked Hazur and became very happy.
Baba Jaimal’s ancestrial house, GHUMAN
 Story #44:
Building the ashram in Amritsar

Hazur was always very kind to the sangat (or His devotees) who belonged to Amritsar
city, only forty miles away from Dera Beas. He loved to visit there every month for giving His
satsang. He did not have any residence (house) for Himself but the sangat had the houses
where He could give His satsang. Some had big bungalows. Sometimes He would give the
satsang at the residence o f His loving devotee named Daramchand Nagpaal, sometimes at the
residence o f His loving devotee named Jai Ram, and sometimes at another ones house named
Shivshankar. The devotees reached there but he stopped them to go inside as it is the place
only for Hazur to rest. This news went to Hazur who loved His sangat, or devotees and Deen
Dyal said, "Look brothers, wherever I am, my devotees will definitely come there. If you do
not allow them to come in, I will also not come here with the grace o f my Gum (Master.) We
will build our own bungalow where nobody is there to stop my devotees who have full right
to come in and see me." All the devotees listening to Satguru's words became happy.
Then Hazur left for the city Lahore (forty miles further from Amritsar, now on the bor­
der between India and Pakistan.) He stayed there for six days to give His Darshan to His
devotees. It was the month o f leth (June) when He came back from Lahore and stayed at
Shivshankar's residence. Hazur had a bad cold, so as soon as He reached there He went into
His room for rest. Me and Shadi (Hazur's driver) started pressing Hazur's legs and Deen Dyal
went to sleep. At about 2:00 p.m. Babu Daramchand and one other devotee came to have
Hazur's Darshan. Babu Daramchand called me. He was a very wise man. He told me that
he had to talk with me. I said, "Yes brother, tell me." He told me that the greatest power on
Earth is our Satguru and that he had no place for satsang. He further said, "Today there is a
good chance that Hemraj (a devotee) had a place for the satsang in the garden o f Ram and
Chella Ram, and it is for sale and if we buy this land, it will be a great thing. But you talk to
Hazur, I cannot talk to Him." I said that if the Dera Beas pays for the land for satsang, then
the sangat will pay back the money slowly and slowly. Then I said, "Okay brother, I will
talk to Hazur when He is in a good mood." By that time Hazur got up from His rest. He ate
some food and said, " Kako, I am good now." I told Him that Daramchand and one more
devotee had come to have your Darshan. Hazur said, " Let them come in." I laughingly said,
"Hazur, there is one thing. If you don't mind can I say something?" Deen Dyal said, "Yes,
say with happiness whatever you want to say. I will be happy to hear it. I will not mind." I
requested, " Hazur, the sangat has no permanent place for satsang. When you come all face
difficulties to come and go. So please do a kind favor for them and build them an ashram."
Hazur laughed and said, "Bibi, it will be done soon." Then the two devotees came in and
I, with folded hands requested, "See Hazur what they say." Hazur asked me what they were
saying. "What were you talking about, brother and sister?" I said, "Babu Ji was saying that
Hemraj was selling his land. It was good land in the garden o f Chela Ram and Sant Ram.
It costs thirty one and a half thousand rupees (Indian currency) and that you please buy
it." Hazur closed His eyes for ten minutes and after that He said, "Kako, what you say is
right. We can buy, but how can such a big amount be arranged?" I said, "I myself will give
twenty thousand rupees." Then Hazur said, "Kako, if this is a fact then we can buy it soon
with great pleasure." Daramchand said, "Bibi, it will be very good if Hazur sits in the car
and has a look at the land." Hazur agreed. At the same time Sahroop Singh was called and
he brought the car. Hazur, Daramchand and one more devotee, Deputy Hamarayan and
Brishlal and myself all sat in the car and went to look at the land. We parked the car and
all came out to look at the land. The land was very dirty and so many useless things were
lying around. Hazur got out and went to the place where the kitchen was built. Hazur put
His stick up and looked all around and said, "Kako, this is very good. It is equal length to
all the directions." There was no settlement yet. As soon as Hazur said His words I was sure
that Hazur would purchase it, although no advance money was paid. Yet I was sure that
the land had been purchased by Hazur because His word would come true. He said and it
was done. I went to the house o f Hemraj and brought him there and the money was paid
in advance as settlement. I told Hazur that the land was very dirty. Hazur said, don't worry,
my devotees will clean it within an hour." So everything was settled. The loving devotee o f
Hazur named Lala Roodchand said, "Look Bibi, if Hazur with His kind favor does satsang
here and then leaves, it will be very good." I said, "The place is not clean yet." He said, "Bibi,
this place will be cleaned within an hour." I said, "Okay, I will request Hazur." When I re­
quested Hazur, He agreed. So many devotees were standing there when Hazur ordered all
o f them to clean the place and fix the tents, and I will give satsang here at 6:00 p.m." The
devotees, listening to Hazur's order, ran to clean the place with different kind o f instruments
(axes, brooms, spades, etc.) The devotees cleaned the land and fixed the tents and decorated
the stage for Shahanshah (Hazur.) Deen Dyal (kind Master) came at exactly 6:00 p.m. for
giving satsang (discourse) and all the devotees received the divine peace within their hearts.
When the sangat listened to the satsang they started requesting Hazur to come to Amritsar
more than before because He had bought the land. Hazur said with a smile, " Where should
I come? If there is any muddy room, only then I can come." All the devotees were sitting and
He said to me, "Lajo, if you build a muddy room, then I will continue coming here soon." I
started crying thinking my Guru orders me in front o f all the devotees and if I would be able
to do it I would lose my life. I must obey Him and would complete building the room at the
cost o f my life. I folded my hands and requested, "Hey, my Satguru, if you want me to do this
seva, you are the King o f Kings and have seat in the Royal Palace, so please do not ask for a
muddy room. Give the word o f building a bungalow, please."
Deen Dyal (Hazur) said, "Okay my daughter, if you want, you build a palace." After giv­
ing this word Satguru Ji distributed parshad (blessed sweets.) The devotees o f Amritsar city
encouraged me not to worry, everything would go right. They said, "Okay Bibi, you always
come to us every week and to take seva from us" (here it was the seva o f donating money
to build the building.) I requested them that I am slave o f them. Hazur left for Dera Beas
and He paid all for the land after six days. In the next month Hazur laid the foundation o f
the building on the land. At that time I had five thousand rupees (Indian currency) on the
start o f the next month. Hazur dug the foundation o f the building. He placed a silver pot
tied with sandal threaded stick (that is the tradition, placing a silver pot with sandal stick
tied with thread under the wall o f the building.) Lots o f devotees were singing holy songs
at the time o f the foundation done by Hazur and enjoying His radiant Darshan. The beauty
o f His face was unbearable. He came with His majestic gait and started digging the land
for the foundation. He hit the axe twenty one times on the land and dug a ditch with His
lotus hands. He was in the home o f His happiness and His face was shining like the Sun. I
was also intoxicated with His brilliant face. I was a little bit worried for the building to be
completed as Hazur had started to do the work o f building. And I was praying within that
Hazur put His grace to complete the building. When Hazur completed His job and came
out, the devotees showered the rain o f flowers over Hazur. Hazur had a white dress on and a
white beard then a red face and red roses were being showered over Him by the devotees. He
looked like the Perfect God on the Earth. Then Hazur said to me, "Now Kako (my daughter)
you are happy." I folded my hands and said, "It is all your grace." Then Hazur called with
my name, "Bibi Kako Lajo." I said, "Shahanshah, now you are to keep my honor." Then my
Sache Patshah said, "Kako, you need not worry. Soami fi will have full grace on you my lov­
ing daughter. Do not worry."
Now the work started for the building. All the account was under the custody o f Babu
Bijlal, a devotee who was in charge o f the bank (bank manager.) When the donation was
given he took care o f all the money, and it was being spent under the care o f devotee Rood­
chand Prem Singh. The devotee Roodchand took the responsibility to send the bricks for the
building from the devotee Babu Gyanchand who was the contractor. Hazur said, "Bricks are
very cosdy so always take from Gyanchand. Either bricks are costly or cheap." At that time
he was not a satsangie, but his wife was initiated. Her name was Harbanse Kaur. She wanted
her husband to be initiated by Hazur. The real reason for Hazur buying bricks from her hus­
band Gyanchand was so that he might become a satsangie and then his wife's desire should
_______________________________________________________________ 77
be fulfilled. When her husband would come for his business o f bricks for the building and
collect money, in this way he would keep having the Darshan o f Hazur and listen to satsang
and he would become a satsangie. Gyanchand was a very clean hearted person. Whenever
he had the Darshan o f Hazur he was very interested to have His Darshan more. He became
the lover o f Hazur's Darshan and later He received initiation from Hazur.
On one side the bungalow was under construction and on the other side two men were
against it. At that time the people o f other religions, like Sikhs and Hindus, who believed in
temples and mantras were against the path o f Radha Soami. Their wives were going to the
houses o f the satsangies and were telling not to donate the money to Bibi Lajo, that she was
at her best to Tob the people by her own way. But by the grace o f Sache Patshah money was
being donated for the building. Then they announced in the city not to donate the money
and it was printed in the papers against me, but donations did not stop. People started talk­
ing against Lala Roodchand and Jai Ram too. With a forceful voice Hazur said, "Roodchand,
the bungalow must be built, although the people are against it. It is not a dog who can eat
the leg. It is the word o f the Saint. Whatever may happen, my word will become true. These
words will become true. When all the Saints got their seva from men, but I am getting it from
the form o f a woman. And I will get it done by her and will show them.
Then Hazur started testing me saying, "Kako, build the bungalow at the cost o f your life,
people are talking against you." I replied to my Satguru Ji with folded hands, "Sache Patshah
Ji, now for the sake o f your honor the bungalow has to be built. What the people say, that
the Saint listened to a woman for the construction o f the bungalow and what happened?
Although someone may murder me, or though my bones, flesh and blood may be kept in
the foundation o f this bungalow, yet it must be built, but Satguru may not be down in front
o f the people." Listening to my words the True King burst into laughing and said, "Okay my
child, you are determined so hard, and patted me on the back. I said, "Yes, Hazur! It is all
your grace." Hazur said, "Okay, if you have faith so strong, Soami li must help you." I said,
'My Satguru is very rich in giving His grace on me and I am sure you will complete the build­
ing, and keep my honor. My Satguru is greatest o f all and His motion is very fast. Bungalow
is not built with m oney but it is built by His endless grace."
Hazur, whenever He ordered for four thousand rupees, so every evening the same
amount o f money was found in the safe when the bungalow was being built. Hazur used to
stay at the residence o f Lala Amamath and Lala Charan Das. The room in which Hazur was
staying there was a safe where the m oney was being kept by me. I used to lock it and the key,
after locking was kept under the pillow o f Hazur s bed by me. Then I used to request Hazur,
"If the money lacks, please complete it." Then Deen Dyal would laugh and encouraged me
not to be afraid. God would fill up all. Whenever He would count the m oney in the evening
it was always ten times more than He needed for the use o f the building. Out o f being happy
I would say, "Whatever is done it is done by Hari (God) says Kabir." The ruler o f the whole
universe used to say, "My child, if there is true and firm faith in God's power, no one can be
found to divide this power or share this power. What I should say, that the devotee Namdev
Ji was living one day and his wife said "you do not do anything all the day and sit free. How.
can we lead life with no food at home? What will we eat?" Namdev, being intoxicated with
Naam went to the forest and sat under a tree, thinking o f his wife's words and he started to
scratch the ground with his finger when he saw that a big pot full o f gold coins was lying
in the ground. He said to his Gum within, "You have given such a big pot full o f gold coins
but it is very heavy, who w ill lift it? Saying this within he came back empty handed and said
within "I could not lift it up." When he came hom e to his wife he told her about this heavy
pot full o f gold coins and also said, "You must not worry, I left it over there where I found it.
I had thought that if God had given me then He must bring it to my home, so I came back
home." The wife got angry and said, "Let me know where it is. I myself will go and bring it.
Let me know the direction o f the place so that someone else might not get it. Then what will
we do." Namdev said, "If God has given us, then no one can take it" The thieves who were

78
standing on their roof were listening to their conversation. Then the thieves said, "Let us go
take the gold coins from the pot and we will see if his God can stop us." The thieves ran to
that place, but when they touched it snakes and scorpions started stinging them and some
o f them died. Some who survived said, "This man has deceived us by his wrong statement
to his wife, so we will somehow take this pot o f snakes and throw it in his room from the
roof, with a hole in it." They tied the mouth o f the pot with a piece o f cloth and took it to
the roof o f Namdev, thinking in revenge that Namdev and his family members would die.
So they made the hole in the roof and threw the pot into Namdev's room and ran away. But
all the gold coins instead fell into Namdev's room in a big heap. After looking at the coins,
Namdev said to his wife, "Look, I told you God would bring them here. See God Himself
came here and threw them in the room making a hole in the roof."
After telling the story o f Namdev Hazur said to me, "Look Bibi, God takes care o f His
devotees. God says, "If you will be mine, then the whole world will be yours." So, Bibi, God
will fulfill your desire. He will definitely do it. So Bibi, your every desire will be fulfilled."
The bungalow was still under construction when Sache Patshah went to Montgumari (a city
now in Pakistan.) I always used to go with Him on tour, but this time I did not go as the bun­
galow was under construction. The money finished in the absence o f Hazur. Hazur ordered in
His letter to finish the upper story o f the bungalow. I sold my jewelry and brought four thou­
sand rupees. The construction continued. But the enemies were thinking that if the construc­
tion stopped they would make merry. The construction was started for the upper story.
One day four thieves came there at night. We did not have any room, nor any fence
around us. The guards Guranda and Lalchand and I were there and nobody else was there at
night. The door which is fixed now, the thieves were standing there. On the other side I was
looking at Hazur who was giving me radiant Darshan. I called the guards when I saw the
thieves. The guards told me that the thieves were standing at twenty steps away. I am looking
at Hazur and it does not matter, our Satguru Ji is with us. These are thieves and we all are
sadhus and we will fix them. I had a stick with a sharp spade on its top. I asked the guard to
bring it to me. He asked me what I would do with it. I told him that whoever comes in first
would be beaten with the spade. The thieves came at 12:00 a.m. and left around 4:00 a.m. by
themselves. But they did not step closer than the place they were standing and where Hazur
was seen by me.
After this, Daramchand built a room for us. When Satguru Ji placed the first brick o f the
building, that was very praiseworthy. He placed only a single line o f bricks which was very
strong. Four masons and myself were standing on the wall. After this Hazur gave the satsang
and distributed the parshad. The iron rod (support for the roof) was also placed by Hazur's
hands. When Hazur came back from the Montgumari tour, the lower story o f the building
was completely done and the upper story was under construction. He reached Amritsar
straight from Montgumari. When Shahanshah reached, I was making His bed inside His
room. I had not gone to have Hazur's Darshan yet. Hazur started to look at the building.
Hazur was looking at the ceilings. Then He asked Lala Roodchand where Bibi was? Then
I reached there. I touched His feet and He, my Sache Patshah with His graceful eyes looked
at me, placed His hand on my head with love and patted on my back. And with His smil­
ing face He said, "Come my child, I was only remembering you. Where were you?" I was
overwhelmed with joy within my heart, having Hazur's Darshan. I was quietly having His
Darshan and could not speak even a single word. After looking at the building Hazur went
to the residence o f Amamath and went upstairs in His room. I followed Him. He asked me,
"Tell me Bibi my child, how the money was arranged for the upper story o f the building?"
I requested Hazur to take rest as He is very tired o f His long way and will tell in the morn­
ing. Sache Patshah fell to sleep. He never forgot things. As soon as He woke up early in the
morning, He asked me and I told Him everything. He said, "Why are you wasting your own
money?" I said, "My True Satguru's seva is done." Then Hazur said to me, "Kako, when we
came in Baba Ji's (Baba Jaimal Singh's) Dera Beas, then there was nothing built except His
own muddy room. I with the order o f Baba Ji built a well and a small satsang hall and a
room for langar (free kitchen.) The people o f village Badaichi said to me that my wits are
gone mad. They said that I had wasted my money at the bank o f the river. I replied, "They
must not worry. One time when Baba Ji stepped with His lotus feet in the rooms and drank
the water from the well my money would become double. After that the river may wash
away all o f them, I do not care." Then I (Bibi) requested, "But mine has become four times
more." I thought, "Hazur's orders to stay for ten days, so now you will stay sometimes two
months and sometimes three months." Shahanshah said, "Yes, there is no doubt."
The next morning Deen Dyal (Hazur) ordered to make the doors and one layer o f iron
sheet should be fixed in them. Roodchand said, "What is the matter Hazur, is it a jest that
there should be iron in the doors?" I was standing there and Hazur was looking at me and
He said, "Lala Roodchand, here Lajo will stay alone. If the thieves come they may go on
breaking doors all night, they w ill never be able to break in. So this poor lady will not lose
anything." So His words came true. Today I am sitting alone and Hazur is not with me. Ha­
zur stayed here for ten days every month. Having excuse o f being sick He stayed for three
months also. With the grace o f Hazur bungalow (kothi in Hindi language) started in the
month o f Kartic the 1st day o f the month and ended in the month o f Jeth (months accord­
ing to the ancient calendar.) Electricity was also fixed everywhere Then Hazur placed His
lotus feet in the building which was decorated in such a way as it is difficult to explain its
beauty. The sangat welcomed Him, showering the flowers and were making merry by singing
the holy songs in His praise. The sweets were distributed.
When the satsang was over, the sangat requested Hazur to give me five hundred rupees
and a pair o f dresses. Hazur called me and asked, "How is that my child, will you take it?" I
requested Hazur, "Not to take that m oney and dress, only whatever you can give me. If you
want to give me, give me your shawl which you are putting on your shoulders now." Sache
Patshah with His grace on me took that shawl He was having in His meditation and said,
"Bibi Ji, I am very happy with you." Then He told me the story o f Bhai (disciple) Jetha:
Story: When the temple o f Amritsar was being constructed, Guru Ji started to cook the
food but it did not cook well. Jetha tried his best but the cooking stove was not becoming
good for food. Then the people advised him to bring the dirty mud from the city and make
the stove. In those days it was a type o f hearth which had to be built with mud. So Jetha
went in the city and collected a lot o f mud and started to build the fireplace for cooking the
food and it was all done and the food was cooked good. Even today that place is known as
Immortal Bhai Jetha. Hazur then said, "So Bibi, the level o f seva is the highest o f all. Then
He said to Roodchand, "The kothi (bungalow) is built by the grace o f Soami Ji." Lala Rood­
chand said, "Deen Dyal (kind Master) you know your art. No one can understand your art."
Deen Dyal laughed and said, "Even if Brahma and Vishnu wanted to stop it, even then the
building had to be built. And it is built now."
During the construction Babu Amamath also took a great part in doing seva. Hazur
always stayed in his residence and myself, I also stayed there for three or four months. For
three months I used to go to Beas at 8:00 p.m. daily and used to come back to Amritsar at
5:00 a.m. after starting at 3:00 a.m. from Beas. I was helpless to have Hazur's Darshan and
also there was seva there for me. Seva o f fixing electricity was done by Hansraj, Sohan Singh
and Janaki Parshad, residents o f Amritsar. They did their seva with heart and soul. Hazur
liberated so many souls with the excuse o f building the new building at Amritsar.
There was a little place (land) behind the kitchen. Roodchand requested Hazur if there
could be a small room for collecting the wood and it would be placed in the room, and if
the tree over there on which berries are grown could be cut down in order to build the room
for keeping the wood. I said, "No, the berry tree looks good. Hazur said, "Kako, it's devotion
is done and it will take human birth. Let it be free from this birth." All true words. Ram Saran
and Roodchand did a great seva for the garden in the bungalow (kothi.) Hazur was already
there in the month o f Jeth (May) and He was standing on the roof o f the upper story giving

80
His Darshan. He called me and said, "Look Kako! We sit inside the kothi, but the sangat sits in
the sun. I will not come here until the rooms are ready for the sangat." I said, "Please place the
foundation for the house o f the sangat today." Satguru Ji, the very next day placed the founda­
tion for these rooms which are standing in line today. After doing this He left for Beas.
All the rooms and veranda (porch) in front o f them were built. After Premsingh Radhakris-
han did all seva with love and devotion, but Hazur was very happy with Baikal's seva, because
he always did seva with a fair mind after leaving his government job hours. As he was always
loving to the sangat and Hazur was also happy with him. He also did seva with money. Even
today he is doing seva with love and devotion. (Translator's Note: As Bibi Lajo is writing her
own memories o f when Hazur left the body. So it was only a few months after she started writ­
ing and that is why her writing is not changed according to the tense and grammar.)
Hazur was very happy to stay at Amritsar and He mostly wanted to stay there, but the
devotees at Beas compelled Him to stay at Beas and Hazur went there, but even then Hazur
was not happy there. He told me and Roodchand not to stop the satsang in the kothi (we
can call it satsanghar in Hindi, which means the home for discourses or spiritual meetings.)
To me Hazur ordered to make all the Bibis (women) sit in meditation daily. Lala Roodchand
kept quiet. I said, "We will do satsang every 1st day o f the month and on dark nights (when
there is no m oon in the sky) we will do every coming week. Sangat daily comes only for the
Darshan o f Hazur and kothi is also far for them. Shahanshah again said, "Look, whether I
am here or not, whether I come back again or not, do not stop the satsang, it should con­
tinue." (These are the days when Hazur left this place physically forever. Saying these words,
sharing joys with the sangat He departed. He knew everything and, Oh God! Hazur never
came back.) When He departed sangat threw a lot o f coins over His car.

Story #45:
Hazur Deen Dyal told the golden words o f the Saints out o f joy

One day Hazur was sitting in the home o f grace in Amritsar and he was speaking with
love. I asked Hazur, "Satguru Ji, is there any other Saint who has come from Alakh Agam?
(Sachkhand.) Deen Dyal said, "Hey Bibi, but no one knows." I requested, "If Hazur Sat­
guru knows, please tell us with your kind favor. The world will get benefit for this." Sha­
hanshah (Hazur, King o f Kings) said, "Kako, the world is getting benefit. Benefit is going
to the world, but still the world is unknown." "Satguru Ji, how is that," I said. He further
said, "Bibi look, one Saint initiates and gives benefit by giving satsang (discourse), one
gives Darshan within and those who have rights to that get liberated and get the benefit
o f the human life. When Baba Ji left His body, I came in the dera and took responsibil­
ity as a successor. One day Bibi Rukko and I had some work at Amritsar and we came to
Amritsar. At that time nobody knew me there. Neither I met anyone nor anyone met me.
Bibi Rukko and I came to the railway station and the Saint in the guise o f a man came to
me. He came to me and held my hand and said, "Tell me, how are you." I laughed look­
ing at Him and He disappeared. Bibi Rukko said, "In the whole city no one recognized
you, nor did anybody speak to you. So who was He who held Hazur's hand and talked to
you?" I said to let it go. There is nothing to ask. Then Bibi said that she must ask and that
without knowing that she would not sit in the train. Bibi was stubborn so I told her that
the man and I both dwell together in Sachkhand and that we know each other, but it is
secret. He also does work for the world, but a little as He has the order from the Supreme
Power. After finishing the work for the world He will go and no one will recognize Him."
After Hazur's words then I requested Hazur to come to light. Hazur said, "How can I come
to light, there is no order from the Supreme Being. Kako, Bibi Rukko knew all secrets. That
is why I am telling you. You keep it secret."
I (Bibi Lajo) am writing this secret now in His sharp memory. I never told the secret to
anyone in His presence. Sache Patshah was very serious. He would never open His secret.

 Story #46:
Seva o f obstinacy and seva o f love and devotion

Shri Deen Dyal (Hazur) was staying in Dalhousie (hill station in the lap o f the Hima­
layas.) A lady w ho belonged to city Rohtak (city close to New Delhi) and always discussed
with Hazur for having seva o f Bibi Lajo, reached there. At first Greebniwa (caretaker o f the
poor) told her with
His loving words and when she did not stop arguing with Hazur about having the seva
which Bibi Lajo was doing for Hazur, then Hazur said strongly, "Bhagwatti (her name) it is
not the thing which can be taken by begging, neither can it be taken by being stubborn, but
it is only for those on whom the Saints have the grace. And Saints only give seva to those
who have rights on it. Saints are very farsighted and can see the soul who is perfect for such
seva (service.) The seva o f Lajo even Brahma and Vishnu cannot take. Even if any member
o f my family asks for it, I am not willing to give them what to speak o f you. Look, I will tell
you a story o f being stubborn." Hazur told, " Once I went to Agra. There is a Bibi there who
has access to Sachkhand in her meditation. She remained in focus o f Sachkhand and she
was also with me in Agra being in attention and focus in her meditation. One day after tak­
ing my bath I was squeezing my wet underwear and this seva I never gave to anyone. Devi
was very simple. She heard that washing the clothes o f the Saints is the highest seva. The
idea came to her as she saw me coming back from my bath, she said, "Hazur I will wash
your underwear." I, thinking her a perfect meditator did not refuse her but I did not want to
give my underwear to her. But I, after washing my underwear, gave it to her and asked her to
spread it on the rope which was tied with the tree. She took it and spread it on the rope and
she became happy. She was a perfect meditator. When she sat in meditation at night then
Satguru showed His anger within her. No lover o f Gum can bare the anger o f Gum whether
it is inside or outside. Seeing her Gum angry within she became nervous. When she got up
early in the morning she came to see me with Babu Ganja Singh (a devotee) to ask for for­
giveness. When I saw her coming with Babu Ganja Singh I asked her, "Bibi, you always come
to see me by yourself but why are you bringing Babu Ganja Singh with you today ( Babu
Gabja Singh was an attorney.) Have you brought him for your help?"
Then she, with folded hands said and prayed, "Satguru Ji, forgive me for asking for the
seva o f washing your underwear. It was my ego and stupidity for being stubborn to get such
kind o f seva yesterday." I said, "Devi, my child, why are you afraid, I did not get angry with
your seva." She said, "You do not hurt people externally, but Hazur, you got angry with me
within. So please forgive me. I w ill never be stubborn for getting any o f your seva. Whatever
type o f seva is given with your grace and happiness is the best one." I said, "Okay my child,
I have forgiven you." (End Story.)
Hazur continued, "I also was stubborn to get seva from my Gum. But I have also learned
a lesson that seva by being stubborn is not good. O nly that seva is good which is given by
Satguru's grace. So Bhagwatti, you are foolish and you will repent later. You cannot get Lajo's
seva. She wanders with me in forests and mountains. She does everything done by her own
hands and faces hunger and thirst and she has been doing seva for twenty six years. So how
can I stop her now. I am doing an injustice to her." Hazur said all this lovingly, then continued,
"So Kako never talk to me against Bibi Lajo in the future. I respect the perfect disciples with
heart and soul. Saying ill o f anyone is a big sin and listening to ill words against perfect dis­
ciples is also a big sin and I am not saying anything to you, only telling you for your benefit."
My (Bibi Lajo) Satguru li was great who never hurt the feelings o f the devotees. And He
had given seva to everybody according to his level. He made every satsangie happy. You can try
to ask any satsangie from two lakhs devotees, nobody will admit that he was hurt by Hazur.
The way o f love He was using in such a way as everyone was surprised neither He made
anybody sad. He refused Bhagwatti be telling her the story.

 Story #47:
How the Saints respect the Perfect Disciples

One time Sache Patshah had been at the holy place Ghumani o f Baba Ji (Baba Jaimal
Singh's home.) Sache Patshah, Deen Dyal (all words o f super regard for Hazur she is using
in Hindi) respected all the people o f the village o f Ghumani thinking that all belong to His
Guru. They are o f high fortune to take birth at the place o f His Guru. And no being is like
Hazur who had respect for His Guru. I (Bibi Lajo) request Hazur that the people o f Ghu­
mani always talk to you having no fear. Even the great Kings are fond o f talking to you. Shri
Hazur said, "Okay Kako, in what way I talk I still love them. Even the dog o f Laila's street
was dear to Majnu. He was thinking that the dog belongs to my beloved Laila's street, and
all these people belong to my Guru's village." (Love Story: Laila was a princess and Majnu
was an ordinary boy, studying in the same school and they had soul to soul love. When the
teacher beat Majnu, Laila got hurt physically while Majnu felt no pain from the beating. I
just gave the hint o f the story. Majnu was not allowed to see Laila by the King. So he used to
sit outside the street o f the palace. When the dog comes out o f her street he would love the
dog. That is why Hazur gave the example o f the love story o f Laila and Majnu.) Hazur further
said, "Kako, I'll tell you a story."
Story by Hazur to Bibi Lajo:
"One time Baba Ji, (Baba Jaimal Singh) was at Ghumani. A Bibi (woman) was doing
good meditation. She had a child in her womb. The other child was lying with her on the
bed. Baba Ji passed the way o f Bibi. She did not even know that He passed her way. The inner
knower, Baba Ji noticed that Bibi was lost in deep meditation. Baba Ji bowed His head on
her feet thinking that the Bibi is fortunate to have her spiritual progress so high and deep in
her human life, having one child in her womb and another lying with her and she is lost in
deep meditation. Baba Ji went further from her.
When she got up the other women sitting by her said that Baba Ji had bowed His head
on her feet and went away and that she had no knowledge o f it. When she heard their words
she became nervous. She was still thinking when Baba Ji came back. She caught the feet o f
Baba Ji and asked for forgiveness and respectfully asked Baba Ji why He had bowed His head
on her feet. Baba Ji said, "My daughter you need not to worry. I did not bow to your feet. I
bowed to your deep devotion and love for your meditation. Being pregnant and having one
more child with you, even then you remain lost in deep meditation."
I (Bibi Lajo) requested Hazur, "It was the grace o f the Saints that she was doing deep
meditation being a mother o f two children." Hazur said, "No doubt Kako. If Perfect Master
(Gum) comes across, all paths are successful. Laughing, playing, leading life, one can be lib­
erated. So Kako, this is the symbol o f the Perfect Gum, but it is very difficult to come across a
Perfect Gum. They are very rare the Tme Gum's. Kako, the Tme Gum does not look at Sikhs,
Christians, Hindus and Muslims; or at man or woman. He looks at their tme love, faith and
devotion. Neither do they think o f rich or poor. They love the devotion and they (Saints or
Gums) give the place in their heart to their tme devotees."
Whenever Hazur used to go to the residence o f Baba Ji He would take off His shoes out­
side the door and was doing respect by lying down straight on the ground. He would fold
His hands and tears would come in His eyes and He bowed His head at Baba Ji's door again
and again. When Hazur again went to Baba Ji's house for worship, the people asked Him
why so many people visit here for worshipping, and why has no one built a temple o f Baba
Ji at His house, because people came here from far and wide.
Baba Ji had two muddy rooms in His house. They has been standing in the same way
since forty five years (Bibi is talking during Hazur's time.) There is nothing wrong with the
rooms. Shri Satguru Ji said, "Look, I have no power to break down the house and rebuild a
new one. The place where my Gum did a lot o f meditation, how can someone break it. Yes,
I can place some bricks around the walls o f the house, but Baba Ji does not allow me and I

83
can do nothing without His order. The soil o f this place is the soil o f Sachkhand for me. The
place where so much devotion and love o f the Supreme Being is living, I salute it again and
again." Sache Patshah had no limits o f His Gum devotion. No one can do such a Gum devo­
tion like Hazur. Hazur bowed His head and saluted, then He came back. After this visit He
never went back. He said when He left, "Let us go Kako, we are getting late for Dera Beas."

Story #48:
The story o f a tree taking human birth with the grace o f the Saints

When the first floor o f the Amritsar kothi (ashram) was built and the upper story was
under construction there was a mango tree in front o f the lower veranda (porch.) Sache
Patshah ordered the young boys o f the sangat to uproot the mango tree. It is a distraction
for the beauty o f the kothi (ashram or building.) I requested, "Satguru Ji, do not get this tree
uprooted as it has very good fruit o f mangoes which are very sweet and it looks good when
it is full o f mango fruit and the door o f the building looks very beautiful." Shahanshah Ji
said, "No Kako, let its birth go. It will get a human birth by me." I with folded hands said,
"Okay Satguru Ji (Thaakur Ji) as you wish." Listening to the words o f Satguru Ji the boys were
laughing. At that time Ishwar Das, a goldsmith who was decorating the stage for Hazur said
to me, "Bibi Ji, I have four daughters only, I have no son. If Hazur is giving human birth to
this mango tree, He must send it in the form o f a boy in my family." I told Hazur that Ishwar
Das was asking that Hazur must send this mango tree as a birth o f a boy in his family as he
had no son. Hazur was sitting in a happy m ood and said, "Okay m y child, his desire will be
fulfilled." In the same month his wife became pregnant and after nine months she gave birth
to a son. When the boy was forty days old (in those days new bom babies were not taken out
o f the house where he was bom for forty days) the parents brought him to Hazur for name
ceremony. Then Hazur called me and said, "Look Kako, how beautiful is the boy, the tree
was fortunate to get the human birth." Everybody called him with the name o f "Mango."
Now the boy is seventeen years old and lives in Amritsar.
Sometimes we are surprised to see the benefit o f Saint's Darshan, but we did not try to
know their honor in the real sense. I said, "Sache Patshah, you know your art. No one can
read the secrets o f the Saints or only those can know if you have your grace on them." After
having a look at the baby boy, Hazur said, "Hey, oh gentle man. You have come now. You
remain happy now. You are blessed with a good birth now. Okay Bibi, take this b o y " Hazur
asked me to bring parshad for the mother o f the baby boy. When they were gone Hazur
said to trie, "Kako, whatever the job Saints do, no one can understand, there is some kind
o f secret. So it is better to remain in quiet in front o f the Saints. Whatever the Saints do, the
disciple should watch only, there is no place for any thought."
I said, "Human beings are unknown, but Satguru is the knower o f their hearts." Then
Hazur laughed and said, "It is good the tree got rid o f his birth and Ishwar Das got a son
because he did not have a son."
tion like Hazur. Hazur bowed His head and saluted, then He came back. After this visit He
never went back. He said when He left, "Let us go Kako, we are getting late for Dera Beas."

Story #49:
The conversation o f game o f inner experience between devotee Prem Lal and Hazur

One day Deen Dyal Ji was sitting alone and I was sitting beside Him. He said, "Kako,
if you go and call Prem Lal, Baristas (who was from the city o f Lahore) he is a very lov­
ing devotee, if I could give him some time." I said, "Alright, your true words are with me."
Prem Lal was already initiated by another Saint called Soami Rewariwali (belonged to the

84
city named Rewari) but he got satisfied from Hazur's initiation. I brought him with me. He
respected Hazur a lot. And Shahanshah (King o f Kings) also loved him very much and was
very kind to him. Prem Lal greeted Hazur with folded hands and sat beside Hazur. They
talked about meditation.
Prem Lal requested Hazur for his mind which was a problem in his meditation and did
not let him focus on Satguru within. Deen Dyal Ji said, "The more the people are educated
the more they are mentally not clean. The more the people are ignorant the more they are
simple and become clean in Naam and simran." Prem Lal said, "How can I accept it?" Shri
Shahanshah said, "Look, I will show you just now." The daughter (aged ten years) o f Prem
Lal was also sitting there. Shahanshah Ji said, "Look, this girl has a very clean mind. What­
ever I want I can show her within." Her name was Omkumari. She had already been initi­
ated with words (sound) since two years. Hazur told her to sit with her eyes closed and she
was made to sit in sound meditation. Hazur said, "My daughter, whatever you see within,
keep on telling me but do not open your eyes. Just keep on looking within." Omkumari sat
in meditation. Her soul went up to the plane o f Brahma. Omkumari was telling all the de­
tails o f within and Hazur was listening. Prem Lal was surprised to listen to all o f the divine
explanation o f the inner planes from his own daughter o f only ten years old.
Prem Lal said, "It is a shame o f my mind who cannot recognize the power o f the Master
(Hazur.) There is no delay from Hazur." Later Omkumari went on doing regular meditation.
Her mother died when she was fifteen years old. When her mother was oh her death bed,
she asked her mother if she remembered the simran. She helped her mother in reminding
her o f the simran. When one hour passed since her mother died she opened the door. She
remained sitting by the dead body for one hour doing simran inside the room. A child like
her can easily become afraid o f a dead body, even the patient can be very painful for the
child o f her age. It is all the grace o f regular meditation by Hazur. Prem Lal Ji, being ashamed
o f himself and praising the power o f Hazur, left.

Story #50:
Story o f Love

Once there were Bhandara days (celebration o f the past Masters.) When I came out o f the
house a young girl was standing at the door. When she saw me she told me that she wanted
to talk with Hazur for asking her problem in internal meditation. She asked me if she could
tell me. I told her not to tell me, but to tell Hazur. Satguru, knower o f the heart was coming to
the door. Shri Deen Dyal laughed and said, "Kako, what are you talking with your friend." I
requested Hazur to listen to her internal problem o f the meditation. Hazur said, "Okay Bibi,
bring her inside the room. I will listen to her internal experience." I took her in Hazur's room
which was at the lower, or ground story. Shahanshah was listening to her with love.
She told, "Satguru Ji, my relatives do not allow me to sit for meditation. I sit in meditation
hiding myself in a hidden place. When I cut the grass I continue my simran and when I tied the
bundle o f grass I used to sit there for meditation for three hours every day." Then she started
talking about her experience in the meditation. She explained all about the places o f Trikuti
within. Shahanshah was quietly listening with His eyes closed, listening all the details o f the
inner world from her. He, out o f joy said, "Very good, you have gained the benefit o f taking
human birth. In spite o f having so many restrictions, even then you have the highest level o f
practice o f meditation. My every part o f my body is overwhelmed with joy. What is the use o f
having kingdoms for those who have no experience o f Naam within. My daughter, your tom
clothes are good. They are all dyed with the color o f Naam within. One who has opened the
inner door (eye) they are better than outer pomp and show. Worldly people who are proud
o f outer pomp and show, actually all o f them are marked without the colorful dress o f Naam
within. They are always tempted at every step for nothing. So my daughter, you have seen the
four Vedas (Hindu holy scriptures) so what is the value o f other worlds in front o f you."

85
 Deen Dyal (Hazur) gave her parshad with love and she bowed her head at the feet o f
Hazur and He accepted with love and said, "I love only those who love meditation and sim-
ran. What is the use o f property for us, and what is the use o f having beauty o f the body and
clothes? My loving daughter, I am very happy with you."
When after listening to her inner experience Hazur came out, Judge Deputy Sahib was
standing in the veranda (porch.) Then Satguru Ji said to him, "Brother, you people have not
received the benefit o f coming in the Dera Beas (ashram.) What more can I say. A girl just
told me her real inner experience. Ask Lajo, she had explained all the true story o f inner Tri-
kuti (three planes within.) I love that poor Bibi more than you. She is a very simple girl. You
all do not do regular meditation. All stay with your talks only." All the other people standing
there were quiet. Hazur went outside.

Story #51:
The story o f Lehana (sweeper casted) o f low caste

This sweeper named Lehana (low casted) was at his best in doing regular meditation. One
time, Lehana came in the Dera Beas. Shri Shahanshah was giving satsang. When Lehana was
going after the satsang was over, the people thinking him A sweeper ( low casted) tried to be
away from him and started to wrap their dress. Lehana laughed and Sache Patshah under­
stood his way of laughing. Shri Deen Dyal Ji, the caretaker of the poor called Lehana, calling
him with his name, and said, "Brother Lehana! Come to me and sit by me." He ordered the
sevadar to bring a seat (stool) and to let him sit on it. Lehana sat on it. Then he asked Hazur
if he could say something, if Hazur would allow him. Hazur said, "Okay, say as the gun is
loaded, let it go to shoot." Lehana said if he could say in front of all the people. Hazur said,
"No doubt, you say in front of them." Lehana said, "When I came in the satsang, all the peo­
ple started to take away their spreading clothes from me thinking me a dirty sweeper, when
your Highness called me. Look Hazur, my body which is a broken and dirty cottage and wear­
ing tom and dirty clothes, is very fortunate in which my Guru always remains with me. Then
please let me know Satguru, either they are sweepers, or myself."
Shri (out o f respect the word Shri is used) Shahanshah (King o f Kings) became very
happy and gave a loud laughter. It looked as if the clouds o f beauty spread on His face and
the sangat also began to laugh. Looking at Lehana, Shahanshah Ji said, "Brother, I have
respect for your devotion. What the sangat knows, only the knower o f true devotion can un­
derstand the true devotion o f a true devotee. Lehana, it is good if the people will understand
the meaning o f true devotion and they will be protected." Hazur then quoted Bulleh Shah:
Bulleh Shah said, "Bulliah, let us go and live there where all the blind people live. Neither
can know my value nor anyone can accept me as a devotee. Bulliah, rest house is built where
the robbers live only. Egoists live in the mosque. But the intoxicated lovers o f beloved Gum
live separate from all. So the true devotees live separate from all. That is the best life." Saying
these loving words to Lehana, Satguru Ji finished the satsang and made the sangat happy
and shared His happiness with them. Then He went to His room upstairs. Lehana also en­
joyed the words o f Hazur and was overwhelmed with joy. The sangat also started looking at
Lehana with love.
Sache Patshah never care for caste or creed. He only saw the true devotion o f the devotee.
He was the knower o f every heart. He always made everyone's heart blossom like flowers.
He made everyone perfect in doing simran and brought His Gum's name to light. Satguru is
Great. No one had been like Him and no one w ill be like Him in the world. In brief He was
the Jot (light) o f God Himself.

 Story #52:
Loving words o f Satguru

It was the month o f Bhadho (August.) It was morning time. I got up from meditation. I
went upstairs to have Satguru's Darshan in His room upstairs. Hazur was sitting in medita­
tion wrapping himself with a cotton net sheet. I quietly sat at the door o f the room and was
waiting for Him until I got His Darshan. It took one hour when He got up from His medita­
tion. Looking at me He lovingly said, "Come my daughter. What message have you brought
today, telLme."
I with my folded hands requested Hazur to open the inner eye o f the sangat. "Please
be kind, you Sache Patshah have come with the treasure o f grace, now please give the inner
grace with your open heart." Satguru li laughed and said, "Kako, there is not enough place in
my dera (ashram.) Baba Ji has given a lot o f treasure and my heart wants to distribute it, but
there is not enough place in the dera." I said, "There is no need o f place." Hazur said, "Kako,
if it will be shown to everyone, then who will perform the duties o f the family. Everyone will
lock his house and start staying in the dera forever. Bibi, why you are sitting here and have
not gone back to your house. Listen Bibi, who has been slapped by love, he has lost his home
forever." I became quiet and asked Satguru li for forgiveness. "You know your art, we beings
can never know your great wish you do my Satguru li." I bowed my head and came back.

Story #53:
Story o f Bhagat Singh

Once Sache Patshah was at the residence o f a devotee named Bhagat Singh at city Jul-
lundhar, thirty miles away from Dera Beas. I was also with Him. Sardur Bhagat Singh re­
quested me to ask Hazur to show him the inner world, and that after once He shows him,
He might not show him again. I said it was okay with me to request Hazur for you, but it is
His grace if He accepts my request or not. Bhagat Singh also asked me not to ask Hazur in
his presence, he would listen to me ask Hazur while standing behind the door. I said, "Okay."
Satguru Ji was sitting in His bed after finishing His dinner and He was in a happy mood. I went
to Him and laughed with my folded hands. I requested Hazur to accept my one request. I used
to talk to Him like a child. The caretaker o f the poor happily answered, "My child, if it is ac­
ceptable I will." I requested, "Brother Bhagat Singh requested me to ask you for showing him
the inner world. After that I will never request for it." Deen Dyal (Hazur) laughed and said,
"Look Kako, listen to me carefully. Who will do work for Sardur Ji? Who will face give and take
karmas for him." I said, "Gujar Mai and Charan Lal (two other devotees) will face it." Hazur
said, "Kako, how many days they will do, ten or twenty days? Later who will come further?"
I said, "Then after, you will do it." Hazur again said, "Kako look, when the girl goes to her in
laws, and sees the pleasures o f her husband, after that if she is brought back to her parental
house and advised never to go to her in laws and never to see the face o f her husband, will the
girl accept it? So you yourself tell me will it happen or not?" Then Shahanshah further said,
"If a girl cannot leave a false husband or worldly husband, then how can it be possible, after
meeting the real and true husband within, how the soul can bare the separation? If someone
is ready to take the responsibility for Bhagat Singh for his whole life, only then I can show him
inner world. I have no difficulty." Sardur Bhagat Singh was also listening to our conversation
sitting somewhere in a hidden place. I remained quiet and Bhagat Singh was listening behind
the door. When I went to him he said, "Kako, Hazur is very wise. Okay, whatever is His grace." I
also begged forgiveness from Hazur and said, "You are true King o f Kings and we all are sinful.
Whatever is your grace, you know better."
Then Hazur laughed and said, "Kako, I am not angry. Devotee's right is to beg and Gum's
right is to make him understand. My dear child, if the child puts the poison in his mouth,
will the mother let him do that? Although how much the child cries, but the mother does

87
 not care and throws away the poison and she saves the life by teaching him good things. In
the same way Gum gives the inner treasure to the devotee who is able to receive it, although
the devotee cries a lot and begs so many times. When the devotee has no capacity to handle
it, Satguru does not feel good in giving him such an inner treasure, but keeps it within Him­
self. When the right time comes only then He gives, does not leave it useless. The devotee
comes to know later, that whatever Satguru did for him it was for his benefit, but at first the
words o f Satguru look bitter, like eating gooseberry first. One tastes later." (This is a saying.)
Bhagat Singh and I accepted the true words with our folded hands and said, "You are right
Sache Patshah, it is your grace, forgive us."

Story #54:
The story o f true lovers

The mother o f Sunar Brother Modan Singh was a seeker o f God. She met so many Saints
from the very early age but could not get any satisfaction. One day Babu the devotee Ganja
Singh stayed one night at Modan Singh's residence. Modan Singh was a devotee o f Hazur.
They talked about Hazur's greatness at night. His mother was also listening. She said that
she did not agree with them that the Saints were perfect in spirituality because she had not
met any true Saints so far. She said, "If I had met such a Saint, then I would not have been
sitting with ease." Babu Ji advised her to go with him to see a Perfect Saint. She told that she
did not want to see a Radha Soami Saint.
Babu Ji forced her to see Hazur. Babu and Modan Singh reached Dera Beas taking her
with them. Everybody was wishing her saying "Radha Soami." She closed her eyes. When
she was taken to Hazur, she sat quietly. Shahanshah looked at her lovingly and said loving
words. She was attracted by His words by heart. She took initiation later. She was already
very spiritual. When she did a lot o f meditation her inner eye opened and she started having
beautiful inner visions. She became very happy. She started loving Hazur. Sache Patshah,
thinking her a good meditator had a great respect for her.
One day she went to the Golden Temple in Amritsar. When she was walking inside the
Golden Temple building she met Hazur and Hazur gave her parshad o f sweet Halwa (a
sweet dish which was distributed in the temple by the priest, it is his part o f blessing o f the
Ten Gurus.) She was thinking o f Hazur's presence in the Temple and she went home to bring
the family so that all could have the Darshan o f Hazur. When she came back to the same
place with her family members, she found nothing. She was very surprised. Then she came
in Beas Dera which is forty miles away from Amritsar City. Shahanshah was sitting in His
chair in the room on the ground floor. Looking at her Hazur laughed and said, "Look Kako,
she has come , let us listen to her." I was standing close to Hazur. He said to her, "Tell Mai
(old woman) how are you? Have you done my work? Bhajan, meditation and simran." Mai
bowed her head at Hazur's feet and sat in front o f Him. She started talking about her inner ex­
periences. When she was talking she became intoxicated and said with a loud voice, "Satguru,
you are a big thief. You are a big robber." Deen Dyal Ji was listening and laughing loud. I said,
"Satguru Ji, Mai has not got the wits to talk with you." The protector o f the devotees (Hazur)
said, "No, Kako, Mai is a good meditator. She is mad with love and the lovers talk in this way.
She is talking out o f her true love. See Kako, Mai is colored with inner love." Sache Patshah said
to Mai, "Mai, what robber did I do to you?" Mai said, "I was in Golden Temple and you were
standing there and I had your Darshan. You gave me parshad and I ran to home and brought
all the members o f my family to have your Darshan. On my return you were not there. So are
you not a robber and thief then?" Deen Dyal said, "look Mai Ji, when you remembered me, I
reached there. When your mind went to your family I came back. Why did you go to the world
leaving your Gum? If you did not leave me then I would not have left you. Therefore Mai, it
is your fault not mine. Is it my fault or yours?" She folded her hands and promised not to re­
member the world. Great is the Satguru who fed the lions with grass.

_________________________________________________________________________ 88
 The Mai who was so against the Guru in the past, she became a true lover o f Guru. God
came on the Earth but no one recognized Him. True Master can find the true lover. He would
break the chains o f the world with His true love towards His true devotees. Mai wished Ha-
zur and went back.

Story #55:
Story o f giving Darshan to Bakhtavar Singh's Son

Sardur Bakhtavar Sing Chuk Hakim from village Rayavala was a true devotee o f Satguru
(Hazur.) Deen Dyal Ji also loved him very much and was treating him as His own son. He
was protected by Satguru (Bacdshah) from Pakistan with his family safe and sound and was
brought at Amritsar. When he reached there with his family I brought them in front o f Ha­
zur. Shri Deen Dyal Ji loved them also and He gave His hug to him. At that time he was very
upset. He asked, "Hazur, what will happen now?" Sache Patshah said, "Do not be nervous,
Master will give you everything but it w ill take some time. Do not go back to Pakistan, for
now move towards Rohtak (a city close to New Delhi) where you will get a good place." Say­
ing thanks, he left for Rohtak. He got a good house and good land there. Hazur kept him in
His own residence for two months.
When Sache Patshah left for Sachkhand (left His body) he became very nervous. He was
thinking the days would not be the same as they were in the presence o f Hazur. What would
happen to him in the future. One time at the time o f Hazur, his younger son became sick at
the place named Dubanay. The son was in a great trouble. The protector o f the troublesomes
gave Him Darshan. The boy requested Hazur with folded hands to recover from his sickness.
As Hazur told him, "Day after tomorrow." The boy opened his eyes and told his parents.
When the day after tomorrow came his high fever was gone. He was fifteen years old. His
father then believed that Hazur was still with them and would protect them in difficulties.
The boy's mother told me the whole story and I wrote it in my book. Satguru is great and
lived the life o f an ordinary man. Always I remember Hazur, whatever He did He gave the
credit to His Gum Baba Ji Jaimal Singh Ji.

Story #56:
Story o f Sikh o f Koytavala

Sardur Channan Singh and Ganda Singh Ji were the chiefs o f the satsang in Koyta City.
The people who were coming to Hazur for getting initiation from Koyta were sent by them.
One time a man who was a drunkard and meat eater came to Dera Beas for receiving initia­
tion from Hazur, from Koyta. When Hazur went to choose the souls for initiation, this man
was also standing there. He asked for initiation. When he asked, Hazur looked at Chanan
Singh who came along with the man. But Channan Singh put his eyes down thinking that
if he recommended for the man w ho was a drunkard and he would not leave drinking after
receiving initiation then it would be a matter o f insult. If I would say to Hazur for not giving
initiation, it would be a sin for him for stopping the man from taking initiation.
When the man him self requested initiation from Hazur, Hazur said, "Tell me brother,
what about wine and meat?" He replied he would not drink and eat meat in the future.
Shri care taker (Hazur) said, "There should be a firm promise." He said, "Yes, I am sure and
promise hard." Then Hazur let him enter in the room for initiation, and said, "You have
come from Koyta, we will see what happens." He entered the room and received initiation.
The man, after initiation, controlled him self for some months for nor drinking and eating
meat. But for his bad karmas he started eating meat again and drinking wine. One night Ha­
zur appeared to the man in a dream and started beating the man with His shoes on his head
and slapped his face and said, "Oh man, I took pity on you in spite o f your being sinful, but
you did not stop. Still you sat in the same boat o f sins. I will give you a very hard time."

89
 When he woke up he found his head and face swollen and there were blue spots on
his face. He was still lying in his bed when suddenly Channan Singh passed that way o f his
house. Because o f being shameful he did not go to him because o f being shameful thinking
that he did not obey Hazur, as Channan Singh was a true devotee and lover o f his Gum.
Then that man folded his hands and requested Channan Singh to come for listening to
him. Then Channan Singh went to him. He told the whole story o f his dream at night and
showed his swollen head and face on where there were blue spots o f slaps.
Channan Singh told him what was he thinking about the Perfect Gum. He is not a false
Gum. Still he should go to Hazur and ask for forgiveness and should not be afraid. Then the
man left everything and became a Sadhu (Saint.) Great is the Satguru who made Sadhu o f
the thieves and dmnkards.

Story #57:
Story o f Masson Ram Singh

One day, Sache Patshah after walking and giving Darshan to the sangat (devotees) came
upstairs and sat on His resting chair in the veranda (porch.) I went to have His Darshan. He
laughed and said, "Kako, I have received a letter today, should I read it for you?" With my
folded hands I sat beside Him. Ram Singh, who was doing seva for fixing the electricity in
the dera by chance he went somewhere from the dera and he got good work and earned a
lot o f money.

"It is the job o f maya which shows so many games to the man."

Once Ram Singh decided to visit a prostitute to be happy. When he came out o f his
house to visit the prostitute, Hazur gave him Darshan but still he did not stop. When he
entered her room, even then Hazur appeared to him and even then he did not care and he
entered her room. He made the prostitute happy and gave her five mpees. Standing between
the prostitute and Ram Singh Hazur slapped on his face. Ram Singh became unconscious
and fell on the ground and lost his wits. She became afraid what had happened to him,
he came very well and going back he fell and became unconscious. She tried to make him
stand. When he came into his senses he said, "I have forgotten, I will never have such a
thought in my mind again and neither will I come here again. You return my money. My
money and my everything, money and body, belongs to my Gum. I did a big mistake to
make the wrong use o f my money." She returned his money and said, "I in the future will
let no one enter my house."
Ram Singh came back to his house and wrote a letter to Hazur explaining the whole
story and wrote, "Sache Patshah, in spite o f giving me your Darshan, I could not control
myself. Please excuse me and protect me." Great is the Satguru, true Sache Patshah (True
Master) who saved His disciples whenever they forgot their path and protected their honor.
So what more can the True Master do in this Kaliyug. Hazur read the letter to me and said,
"Kako, Saints are very kind in Kaliyug. They do not see the sins o f their devotees and bless
them by doing their grace on them." I saying, Great Great my Satguru Ji and wished Him
again and again, came back. What more we weakest beings can do in front o f the Tme Gum.

Story #58:
Story o f visiting city Koyata

Deen Dyal Ji (Hazur) reached Koyata (city in Pakistan now) from Karachi (city in Paki­
stan.) The devotees were very encouraged by His visit. There were so many satsang buildings
in the city. They were all decorated nicely. When Sache Patshah (Tme King) reached there,
devotees were standing in ques (lines) and were singing holy songs. When Hazur reached
the railway station, there were fireworks, music, and all the buses were also decorated.

90
When He gave His Darshan everyone was overwhelmed with joy. The fire o f separation was
over from their hearts. The brightness o f Hazur's face was so shining that even the Sun was
shy o f its brightness. Hazur, the ocean o f peace gave His Darshan, made His devotees happy
and also asked them how they were. Out o f joy the devotees started to play their music.
Hazur's motorcar was going slowly and the music players were walking side by side. There
was arrangement for Hazur's satsang in the satsang (ashram) building close to the railway
station. Reaching there Hazur sat on the stage and gave the satsang and pleased the devotees
by giving His open Darshan.
Then, Hazur came in His room where He was to stay. Ganda Singh and Channan Singh
Ji also came with Him. They asked the schedule o f satsangs and asked forgiveness for any
difficulty on His way. Hazur met everyone happily and was going to give satsang in the city
both times morning and evening. One time Akali Sikhs created the dispute and the people
arranged the police. The inspector o f police was Muslim by caste. He was very inspired
by listening to Hazur's satsang. Hazur also talked to the Akali Sikhs with love and made
them happy. Dr. Iqbal did a lot o f seva o f guard. Deen Dyal Ji initiated about five hun­
dred women and men. Brother Grandamal and Channan Singh did good arrangements for
money. Ladies, Pur Devi, Nihal Devi and the sister in law Lajwanti o f the Doctor did seva
o f cleaning utensils o f Hazur and in the kitchen o f the public langar (food.) The Bibi (lady)
Kesaro and her team did a lot o f sewa in the big kitchen o f the sangat (devotees.) They did
sewa with love and devotion. Sache Patshah was very happy with the devotees o f Koyata, so
He visited their houses and made them happy. By giving His Darshan, He fulfilled every­
one's desire and gave parshad (blessed sweets) to all o f them. He went to the store in Dyal
Bagh and sold their things by Himself. Thinking it parshad, people bought all the bags in
no time from hand to hand.
The first day o f the month Sawan, Hazur was ready to take His morning bath and I said,
"Hazur, I had a very bad thought today." When He asked me I said nothing but He said,
"Bibi, thought is correct, whatever it appeared to you, that is done, but it will be clear day
after tomorrow." Next day a telegram came. I asked Hazur whose it was. Deen Dyal said,
"Kako, it is not that telegram, you do not worry." When the third day came at that time when
the devotees were becoming ready to take a group photo with Hazur, Hazur was sitting on
the sofa very nicely. I just prepared the food and no one ate it yet. On that day after eating
food, Hazur was to visit Sakhar (name o f a place.) When the post man came to deliver the
telegram, I was also standing there, behind His sofa. Whenever any telegram came Hazur
would send it to His secretary, but on that day He Himself started to read it. I asked Deen
Dyal whose it was and He said, "No Kako, it is not mine, it is for Judge Sahib" (devotee.) Af­
ter reading it there was no sign o f any sadness on His face. He had a photo taken with all the
devotees and made them happy. After reading the telegram, Sache Patshah sent it to Judge
Sahib. Judge Sahib asked me, calling me Bibi, "Did Hazur not read the telegram?" I said,
"Protector o f our pains has read it, next all is His grace." Judge Sahib said, "When Hazur is
done with food, I will talk to Him."
Then, Hazur called me, "Kako, bring the food, I am hungry." He ate the food happily.
When He was done I asked if the telegram was true. Sache Patshah said, "Yes, Bibi, it is." I
requested it was sad news. Actually Hazur's younger son's son in law died. His name was
Harbans. Hazur said, "Kako, why are you sad? What matters the relations o f the world for
us, we are Sadhus (Saints.) Whosoever is bom must die one day, why should we be sad?
Whatever happens it is all according to the destiny. Let it be done, there is no point o f being
sad. Whatever is the will o f the Master, we have to accept the will o f Satguru. We are happy
when our Satguru is happy."
Wow, my Shahanshah (King o f Kings) being the Master o f all still is beyond the sorrows
and pleasures. Great was my Guru and great was His game. He flew like a bird (Murgabi)
with dry wings (Murgabi lives in the water, but when she flies, she flies with dry wings.) So
Satguru, being family holder, lives beyond the attachment.

91
 I again requested not to go to Sakhar city and go to Beas Dera directly. He said, "Because
the people will come to me to show their sympathy for the death o f my relative, you mean
that I am doing satsang, my child? Naam is the greatest path o f spirituality in this world. You
can see, with how much love, the devotees have been waiting for me and I am not here to
break their heart. The dying one is dead now, why do I let die to those w ho are alive? I must
go to Sakhar city. You may not go if you feel much heat." Then I kept quiet. He also gave
the same reply to Judge Sahib. Sache Patshah left for Sakhar city. He said to the devotees o f
Koyata, "I am very happy with all o f you. You showed me a good example o f true love. May
Soami Ji have a lot o f grace on you and bless you with all pleasures. You must do simran
and meditation with love and devotion." The wife o f Babu Station Master, her name was
Shabhawanti and she did a lot o f seva with money. Deen Dyal said to her, "My daughter,
your seva is very successful. Simran and meditation goes with beings. Sound is the body o f
the Guru. Body does not stay forever. I will go but my body will not go, but Shabad (Sound)
will never die. Therefore, do simran and meditation with love and devotion. I am very happy
with you. And I will be more happy." Giving happiness to all the devotees, Hazur was ready
to go to Sakhar city and said to me, "Kako, let us go. God's will is accepted, whatever His
grace we w ill accept happily."

Story #59:
Story o f Sakhar city

Deen Dyal Ji (Hazur) reached Sakhar city. The great advocates and all the satsangies of
that area made good arrangements. Hazur was dropped off at the residence o f a devotee and
Hazur gave them three days and gave initiation to the members o f the family. One rich man,
the owner o f a cookies factory was given initiation. He made the sangat happy. He reached
Dera Beas on the third day by train. When He sat in the train it was very hot. I brought the
juice o f sandal in three bottles from Koyata. Wherever the train stopped on the way, a large
crowd o f devotees were standing at the station. Hazur gave the Darshan standing at the sta­
tion, out o f the train. The sangat was becoming happy looking at Hazur like a rainbow bird.
When Hazur reached Lahore city (in Pakistan now) devotees Veerbhan, Ranglal, and other
devotees came to see Hazur. Deen Dyal Ji got o ff the train and the devotees brought Him
where the buses were ready to go. W hen Shahanshah sat in the motorcar he asked Veerbhan
Ji, "Brother, where is our Bibi Lajo, make her sit in the motorcar." Veerbhan Ji made me sit
in his motorcar. Hazur laughed and said, "I may not remain hungry, it is already eleven o'
clock at night." All devotees laughed. The three bottles o f sandal juice were already given
to the devotees by Hazur. When He reached the satsang ashram, I prepared the food and
served to Hazur. Hazur went for rest after taking a bath. I washed the clothes o f Hazur and
spread them after taking my bath. Then I ate my food at 2:30 a.m. The clothes became dry
at 4:00 a.m. and I ironed them. Then Hazur woke up and asked me, "Kako, have you ar­
ranged my dirty clothes?" I just was done with ironing and I placed all the clothes in front
o f Him. He said, "It is three days passed since you did not sleep, It is all night gone and
you are not tired?" I replied, "Even Brahma and Vishnu are longing for the service o f Sache
Patshah, I am very lucky that you give me your seva (service.) Please always continue giv­
ing me your seva (service.) I am never satisfied for seva. In the happiness o f seva I do not
feel hungry and sleepy." Sache Patshah blessed me with His love and became very happy.
After giving His Darshan to the sangat in the morning He said, "Look Bibi, my tour is
over." Saying that He left for Dera Beas with me.

 Story #60:
About Hazur's daily schedule

How Hazur lived His physical life. Hazur's principle was to sleep alone in His room. At
night He would bolt His doors from the inside. I have seen Him from twenty nine years,
after taking bath, dressed Himself and He would open His rooms doors and would come
out at 7:00 a.m. He would drink one glass o f milk and used to go giving His Darshan to the
sangat. He would meet everyone with love and smile. He would sit in meditation at 2:00
a.m. at night. At 3:00 a.m. He would give order to the sangat for doing meditation. Then
after giving His Darshan He would go to the secretary Deputy Hamarayan who was doing
seva o f distributing the letters and replying to the letters o f satsangies. Then He would go
back to His residence at 1:30 p.m. Then He ate His food. Eating time was fixed. O nly one
bowl o f daal (Indian seed soup), one bowl o f vegetables, small pieces o f chapattis (Indian
handmade bread) and He would drink the water according to His health. If the glass o f wa­
ter is overfilled He would sprinkle some o f it onto the floor. He would keep it only as He
needed to drink. He would never leave the food on His plate.
After eating His food He would close His door. Then He would open it at 3:30 p.m. or
4:00 p.m. Then He would do the satsang at 4:30 p.m. or 5:00 p.m. for two hours. Before
giving the satsang He used to drink half a glass o f water. He would not eat anything else.
If somebody wants to take His time He would give His time. He never broke somebody's
heart. He was very tender hearted and kind. If He is upset with someone, after a short time
He would call him and would say laughingly, "I am not angry but it is my duty to make you
clean." The lovers o f Hazur were very happy even though He was rebuking them.
One time I said, "You might be like this at your young age." Then being very kind Hazur
said, "When I was very young my mom made me sleep and covered me with her saree (long
wrap or dress.) My grandfather was a very good meditator and he stopped my mom from
covering me with her saree, saying "You should not consider him a child. He is something
else and cover him with pure cloth."
One time Vakil Radhakrishan was talking with me out o f love o f Satguru. He said to me,
"Bibi, Hazur gets angry with all o f us, somebody might have got angry with Hazur also." Ha­
zur was sitting in a happy mood and I asked Hazur laughingly, "Hazur, you get angry with
us, does anyone get angry with you also?" Hazur listening to this gave a loud laughter. Lov­
ingly He said, "Kako you will laugh when you listen it." I said, "Yes I w ill, because you get
angry with us, you might be having someone's anger on you." Hazur said with love, "Bibi,
when I was studying in the school, I study with love. I loved my teachers. My teachers were
always happy with me. I got to school on time and I came home on time. I never failed in
examinations. I was the only boy o f my mother and always obeyed her. My mother was very
happy with me. She never got angry upon me. I was eighteen years old when my father died.
From that very day I left sitting with my friends. I always sat with the elderly people. I used
to listen to the talks o f wisdom and domestic duties and responsibilities. Then I got a job.
I was always at my good terms with my officers. Whatever they asked me to do in my job I
would quickly do it for them. Therefore they were very happy with me. They never got angry
upon me. I had a burning desire to meet with the Saints since my young age. I was posted
at Peshawar (city in Pakistan now.) There I came to know there lived a Saint who was mad
with the love o f God. His name was Kahan Singh.
When I came back from my tour I used to go see him. I sometimes had one mpee or two
rupees I used to give him as seva (service.) He never kept even a penny with him. The chil­
dren would come to him and snatched all the money from him. One time, due to my good
service in my job I got an allowance o f two thousand rupees. When I came from my job, I went
to the Saint and gave him two rupees. Then Baba Kahan said, "I will take twenty rupees in
white notes." I thought Baba had become greedy." Then I gave him twenty mpees. Then Baba
Ji said, "No, take it back, your heart is broken. Look, what is the use o f keeping it with me,

93
the children will come just now and will take it. But you brought two thousand rupees with
you, that is why I asked for twenty rupees from you so that two thousand rupees must be
digested by you." I said, "Baba Ji, no my heart is not broken." Then I asked, "Baba give me
something." He said, "I do not have your treasure with me." I said, "If I get it, then I can
gain." He said, "You must get it." I said, "Please tell me from where I will get it. Wherever it
is present, take me." He said, "You need not to go. One who has your treasure will himself
come to take you." Then I kept quiet.
Hazur continued, "One day I said to Baba, "I have to go to Laundi Katar (name o f a
place.) Baba said, "I will also go with you. I became very happy thinking I w ill be fortunate
to travel in the company o f a Saint, talking good and having His Darshan. The train was to
leave at 12 o' clock. Baba Kahan Singh did not come and I was waiting for him and it was 12
o' clock and Baba Ji did not come. I thought that if I would not obey Saint's orders, then it
is a matter o f trouble. On the other hand it is a government job and the train w ill leave and
no other train goes that way. What should I do? Waiting for a long time I started to go when
I saw Baba Kahan is coming on the way. I said, "Baba you have done a good thing with me.
It is my government job and by now the train might have left, we are very late." Baba said,
"You need not to worry, the train can never leave without my order." When we reached the
railway station the train was late for two and a half hours. We bought tickets and got into
the train and it started. Baba Ji took the tickets and put into his pocket. The station where
we were to get down, that was the last station for the train to stop. Baba Ji said, "No, I will
not get down yet. I w ill get down when the army will come. I asked, "Which army will come
for you?" He said he will not get down until the army comes. In spite o f my request many
times he did not get down. The men came to wash the train but Baba Ji kept sitting in the
compartment.
In the meanwhile I saw one hundred and fifty men come at the station. They were saying
in a loud voice, "Baba Kahan, come." Baba Ji said, "See, my army has come, now get down."
When we got down I told him to go this direction. He said to go the opposite direction. I was
so fed up that I left Baba Ji and myself went the way where I had to go. But when I left I felt
very sad within. I was just walking and thinking it, and I saw Baba Ji was standing in front
o f me and said, "I thought that my disciple is feeling very sad. W hy I should make him sad?
I myself should go to him." I reached my office taking Baba Ji with me.
When the job was over, I asked Baba Ji to go. I also told him that the train was to leave
early in the morning and it would be difficult to get up early. Baba Ji told that the Tan Tan
(horse cart) would come early for him. When we got up in the morning we saw a Tan Tan
was outside. I asked the driver o f the horse cart who called him? He told that Baba Kahan
called him. Baba Ji was sitting in meditation with me (Hazur.) We both sat in the horse cart
and reached the railway station. The train was ready to go and we got into it.
Hazur continued, "As Baba Ji told me about the treasure I had with me and the owner
o f my treasure him self would come to me for giving it, that chance came in front o f my eyes.
I was posted as S.D.O. at Kala Bag (name o f a place.) I was riding on my horse and going
into the street o f the city. Baba Jaimal Singh was also riding on His horse and was coming
in the same street. Bibi Rukko was with Him. My horse passed by His horse and did not
pay any attention. Baba Ji said to Bibi Rukko while looking at me, "Look Bibi, I have come
for this sardur (a Sikh with turban on.) Bibi Rukko said, "Baba Ji, he did not even wish you
Waheguru, Ram Ram, or Radha Soami." Baba Ji said, "This poor fellow does not even know
that he will come to see me after four days." So a clerk o f my office came to me. His name was
Hari Ram. After meeting Baba Ji for three days he came to me on the fourth day and asked
me if I could go to see a Saint with him. He explained to me that a Saint from Beas had come
in the city, and I should also have His Darshan. I already was fond o f meeting the Saints. I
had a lot o f work o f my office to do. The work which I was to finish in eight days, I finished
it within a night. Getting up in the morning I went to have the Darshan o f Baba Ji with him.
I thought the name o f Radha Soami is a strange word for me. I did not agree with that within

94
my mind. Perhaps he accepts Jap Ji Sahib and Jaap Ji Sahibe, or not. When I reached there,
Baba Ji did the satsang on Gurbani Jap Ji Sahib. When satsang was over Baba Ji said, "How
is that brother, has the idea o f Radha Soami name gone or not?" I folded my hands to Him.

Baba Ji said, "Look brother, how many names o f God are written in the Holy Book Guru
Granth Sahib Ji? If one more name o f Radha Soami is added among them, then what ob­
jects to you? It is not a new name. Radha means "consciousness", Soami means the "Shabad
Sound" o f permanent destination." Baba Ji initiated me after I had listened to His satsang
for four days. Giving me the initiation He placed His hand on my head and took me to the
tenth door within and He said, "Baba Sawan Singh, you are my old friend. It is not since
today only." I said, "Baba Ji, I am going to leave my domestic life." Baba Ji said, "You have
a large amount to give and take from your family that you have to clear. I do not give my
permission for you to leave them yet." So what can I speak in front o f my Guru? Baba Ji said,
"Do all the jobs but do not involve yourself in them." Since I had been initiated, I used to be
present in His service in front o f Baba Ji in Beas on every Saturday from my job. I used to go
on Saturday after having His Darshan and I would come back to my job on Sunday night.
Whatever wages I got I would send to Baba Ji. Whatever He thought to send me back He
would send to me. The rest o f my wages He would send to my family. One time I got down
from the train at the Beas Railway Station. It was sun shine and I sat under a shady tree. I
thought when the sunshine would become less, then I would go.
Then the thought came that Sohani was going to see her fake (false) lover (worldly)
having raw soiled pitcher in which she swam in the flooded river to see her lover across the
river, but the muddy pitcher on which she was swimming dissolved in the water and she
drowned and died, and I am looking or waiting for the sunshine to go down. Thinking this
I started to walk the way o f the Dera Beas. When I reached the village Baraich (close to dera)
the women were drawing the water from the well, looking at me they said that the man is
corrupt, walking in the intense heat o f the Sun. On this side I was going to the dera in the
sunshine and on the other hand Baba Ji was walking outside in the sun taking o ff His shirt.
Bibi Rukko said, "Baba Ji, go inside the room and sit there, for whom are you walking in the
sunshine?" Baba Ji said, "Wait Bibi, soon you will come to know." When I reached close to
dera, Baba Ji went into His room. On the way I was thinking when I would reach, Baba Ji
would embrace me while He would be standing at the door o f His room. When I went in the
house Bibi Rukko told me that she did not know that I was coming as Baba Ji kept walking
in the sunshine all the noon time. O nly ten minutes had passed and He went in His room.
When I went to His room, He was standing at the door. I touched His feet. Baba Ji held my
arms and embraced me. He said that was the only desire in my mind but to never do it again.
"You came in such an intense heat as I had to bare all the heat on my back. Just uncover my
back and see, it has bruises all over." Then I said to Baba Ji, as I did not feel any heat on my
way, it was very cool because the cool breeze was blowing. Baba Ji said, "I kept on sending
cool air to you and the hot air I was baring on my back." I folded my hands and said that I
will never do such a mistake in the future, because o f me you had to bare a big trouble.
(Translators Note: All this detail o f Hazur's experience is told to Bibi Lajo, his perfect dis­
ciple by Himself. Bibi Lajo is writing all her memories in her book, she further writes:)
Hazur was very particular about His meditation. Sometimes, even though He was very
sick, He would never avoid His meditation time. Neither would He avoid the time o f His
satsang for the sangat. Sometimes when He became very sick I would advise Him to miss the
satsang because He was not feeling good. Then Hazur would say, "No, I must go to satsang."
He would never break the heart o f the sangat. When the satsang was to start He would reach
there on the stage. He would do the satsang in such a way that nobody could even think
that He was sick. He would change His face in such a bright looking way that no one could
guess even that He was not feeling good in health. He would look healthier than before. We
were thinking that He was looking very weak and in satsang He would look so beautiful that
everyone would be lost in His love and satsang.

 Hazur told, "One time Baba Jaimal Singh was posted in the army at the fort o f Agra
(city.) He used to go to the satsang and have the Darshan o f Soami Ji (His Guru.) One time
Soami Ji ordered to do the satsang at 10:00 p.m. Baba Ji said, "I will not leave the satsang."
He left His duty and came to the satsang. He could not even think if He was on His duty or
in the satsang. When the satsang was over Baba Ji went back to His job duty. His gun was still
lying at the place where He left before going to the satsang. The next guard w ho was to join
the duty at the place o f Baba Ji, he fell in deep sleep. W hen Baba Ji reached at His duty place,
he got up. He requested Baba Ji to forgive him for being late as Baba Ji had to spend more
time at His duty, because he fell in deep sleep and Baba Ji had to spend extra time. Listening
to him, Baba Ji gave a loud laughter and He thanked His Master who stood by Him for His
job safety."
Hazur said, "Kako, the disciple who has love and principle for his Master (Guru) is pro­
tected by his Master." Whatever you do, do with true love and devotion. Master is always
with you." One time Hazur went to His house in His hometown Sikhandarpur which is in
Sirsa District in Haryana state o f India. I never lived alone in Dera and always was with Him
on His every tour. But when He used to go to His house, I was staying in Dera Beas. If Hazur
called me from there, only then I would go and that was very rare. So this time that He went
I stayed in Dera. He stayed for one month. Due to never being separated from Hazur, one
month o f separation was like many years o f separation for me. I wrote a letter to Hazur. I
wrote in the letter, "When I sit in meditation, other type o f things appear from some days.
The radiant Hazur appears off and on. What is its reason? If I am feeling nervous for not
having appearance o f your radiant face?"
Hazur replied in a letter, "Whatever I have read in your letter which you wrote to me, is
a matter o f happiness. I am very happy you wrote me letter. But the other things appear in
your meditation is good for the true lovers like you. And that the radiant face does not ap­
pear in your meditation, that is also for your benefit. But it is a matter o f a poison. If Satguru
has no radiant form o f His Satguru, it is impossible. Still sometimes Satguru does not get the
appearance o f Satguru, but the reason is that if there is no longing then there is no love. The
longing o f meeting the Master is for the progress o f the meditation. Therefore Satguru some­
times stops His appearance o f radiant form in the meditation. The longing does not stay on
continuous appearance o f Master's radiant form. But you should not be nervous. Satguru is
always with you and within you. He always takes care o f you. And He will continue taking
care o f you. No need o f worry. Whatever the Master (Satguru) does, He does with His own
will for the benefit o f the beings."
When Hazur came back He told me a story. He said, "Kako, one time my mother was
very sick. She remained sick for two months and she even did not inform me. After two
months I came to know that she had remained sick for two months. I came to my house to
have her Darshan. I asked my mother why she did not inform me about her so long sick­
ness. She told me that she did not inform me because I would be worried. As I was the only
son I was always excited to serve her. I asked her if she had any trouble and if her simran
and meditation was going on good. She said that the simran and meditation was going on
good but that she did not have good Darshan o f her Guru (Master.) I told her not to worry.
She would have then. I also said, when Baba Ji would come she must ask the reason for not
coming in her meditation.
At night meditation she had Darshan o f Baba Ji and she asked Him the reason o f being
separated for a long time. Baba Ji told her that as she was sick for two months, if He would
come in her meditation, she would request for her recovery, then He had to accept her re­
quest. But the load o f the rest o f her karmas would be left on her. He wanted her benefit to
clear all the karmas o f Kai being sick. Therefore He did not give His Darshan to her during
her sickness. My mother told me everything in the morning and I was happy to hear that
whatever the Master does He does for the benefit o f His beings. No power o f Kai will blind
the beings who happen to understand.

96
 There were Bhandara days in number in Dera Beas so I asked Mata Ji (mother) if she
could ask Baba Ji when He would take her or leave her. My mother said that Baba Ji said
that He would take her. Then I said to ask Baba Ji whether I can go to the Bhandara or not.
I was worried about Bhandara. On this side Mata Ji (mother) was ready to leave the world
and on the other side Bhandara days. Mata Ji, looking at my face o f worry said, "You can go
to Bhandara, do not be sad. But do not stay there. As soon as Bhandara is done come back
on the same day. Master already has told me that he will not take me until Babu Ji (Hazur)
will come back."

Story #61:
Story o f Saint's daily life

Hazur had been very calm and sad from the materialistic world's nature since His child­
hood. Hazur's father died when He was eighteen years old. Since then Hazur left sitting with
boys o f His own age and He started sitting in the company o f the older people in order to
listen to their stories o f wisdom. He performed the worldly jobs, being active to lead His
worldly life, but He remained sad within.
When He came from His birthplace Mehimawala (a village in Punjab) He joined the
school at Gujranwala town. He was a very successful student during His study time. He al­
ways was at first position in every class. For some time He had the job o f teacher in the same
school. Then He joined the Engineering College at Rarkee town in Punjab State. He finished
His Engineering course. All the teachers and principals in school and college loved Him and
had great respect for Him. Hazur had very sweet words in His language which stole every­
one's heart. Whenever He was to leave the school or college the teachers would stop Him for
talking to Him with their love. He finished His student life with love.
Hazur said, "When my mother died I announced in the satsang if someone wanted to
have Darshan o f m y mother, they could go with me. The day on which I was to reach my
home I could not go because I was very tired on that day. I thought Baba Ji was taking her
when I would reach there so I stayed that night in the dera. The next day, when I reached
Sikhandapur, I asked Mata Ji (my mother) how she was. She told me that previous night
Baba Ji came but left me and said, "My Babu Ji (Hazur) had not come. I promised to take
you only when He will be here. Therefore, I will take you when He will be here."
At night I said, "Everybody sits in meditation and I also sat in meditation." When all the
community got together, they saw Mata Ji had gone (died.) It is the benefit o f Perfect Guru.
Rishis and Munis keep on searching when they will die, but those who have the Perfect Mas­
ter, sometime are told before one year when they would leave their body. And they go hap­
pily. The dying person does not feel such a happiness on their marriage as they are happy at
the time o f their death. Because the Satguru takes care for them completely."

Story #62:
The life o f Saint Kirpal Singh Ji full o f love

He was such a devotee and had love for His Guru that He would come to see His Master
even though He had one day vacation on His job. He never talked in front o f Hazur. He had
patience. When Hazur ordered Him for something to do, He obeyed it with love and devotion.
He was so intoxicated in love o f Hazur that He did not care for His clothes, what to wear and
what to clean them. Either they were dirty or they were clean, He would not care for it.
Whatever He was receiving, His wages or salary from His job, He would place in front o f
Hazur. Hazur would give Him back for Himself and for family. As long as Hazur remained sick
He did not go to His home. He remained there in service o f Hazur. He would bring the doctor
as many times as the doctor was coming to see Hazur. He would always be with Him. Hazur
had love for Him so much that He would call Him (Saint Kirpal Ji) in His lonely room.

97
 One day Hazur called Him and advised Him to suggest the sangat for doing meditation
daily as He told that He had been sitting on stage for forty years and always advised them to
do die meditation, but that they did not listen to Him (Hazur.) Now they will coy. He said
to Saint Kirpal Singh, "Now you tell them that they start doing meditation otherwise they
will repent. O nly you have to tell them now."
One day when Hazur was sick in Amritsar ashram, He called me (Bibi Lajo) and said, "See
Bibi, I want to tell you one thing." I said, "Maharaj Ji (Hazur) when you will recover yourself
only then I will listen to you." I was thinking that Hazur would tell me that He wanted to
leave so I refused Him. Then Hazur said, "There is no doubt that my family wants to take
over the dera. Yes they can, but Kirpal Singh should initiate the sangat. So what is wrong in
it? No devotee wants that His Guru should remain with him." I requested Him to be well
and should do His job for the sangat. I do not want to listen to such things. Hazur Maharaj
replied, "Whatever I had to do I have done now. Baba Ji knows what to do." I said, "You
make request to Baba Ji that Baba Ji must leave you here." Then Hazur Maharaj Ji said, "If
Guru place the sword on the neck o f His disciple, how can he refuse? I cannot speak in front
o f Baba Ji. As Baba Ji's will."
On this Saint Kirpal Singh Ji said, "Send all o f us, but you live here." Hazur said, "I have
to get a lot o f work from you. It will not happen like this." Saint Kirpal Singh Ji remained with
Hazur from the beginning He was physically alive. During Hazur's sickness He remained pres­
ent. He came back from Dera Beas after four days o f Hazur's physical departure. He remained
very sad for a long time in Hazur's separation. He lived in forests. Now He is doing as Hazur
ordered Him to do. He respects everyone and those who have done seva (service) for Hazur.
As Hazur Maharaj Ji respected Bibi Rukko He respects me in the same way.
Seth (rich man) Partap Singh Ji loved Hazur very much. He was the nephew o f Soami Ji
(from Agra.) One time He came to Dera Beas and said, "I want to request you for one thing."
Hazur said, "Just order to me." Then Seth Sahib said, "You must go to see Bagga Singh at
Tam Taran (town 20 miles from the dera) and also invite him on Bhandara at Dera Beas."
Hazur said with great respect, "Your order is respectful for me, but I have to ask Bibi Rukko,
because she has served my Guru Baba Ji." Seth Sahile said, "The order o f Bibi Rukko is neces­
sary because she has served Baba Jaimal Singh Ji a lot. Let us go to Bibi Rukko." Bibi Rukko
lives in her village after Baba Ji left His physical body. She lives there because o f her Guru's
separation like me. Her village is closer to Amritsar city.
Hazur, Seth Sahib, Ganda Singh, Mistri (Mason), Sohan, the servant o f Hazur, Sewa
Singh Judge and Dumichand Vakil (lawyer) and myself, Bibi Lajo went to Bibi Rukko. Ha­
zur said, "Do not call me Hazur in front o f Bibi Rukko." Hazur had a great respect for Bibi
Rukko as Saint Kirpal Singh Ji has for me.
When Bibi Rukko saw Hazur coming, she went into her room and sat in meditation. I
said to Hazur, "Can I make her up from meditation?" Hazur said, "No." He Himself sat in
meditation at the door. After half an hour she got up from the meditation and met Hazur
lovingly and asked how He was. She lovingly used to call Hazur Tikka Sahib. She asked the
reason o f His coming. Hazur said, "Can Seth Sahib Partap Singh and myself go to see Baba
Bagga Singh at Tam Taran town? We have come to receive your order. We will do accordingly
to your order." Bibi Rukko said, "Wait, I will tell you after some time, and she sat in medi­
tation. She came back after some time and said, "Beas Dera belongs to Baba Jaimal Singh.
So Baba Bagga Singh should visit Dera Beas first." Hazur sent a letter by the hand o f Sohan
Singh and sent Ganda Singh to Baba Bagga Singh at Tam Taran.
Baba Bagga Singh who was authorized Master from Beas Master received the letter. He
kissed it and touched his forehead with it thinking that it was the letter sent by his beloved
Gum. Those who brought the letter were given great respect. Baba Bagga Singh sent the
message by the men who gave the letter to him that he would be in Beas Dera day after
tomorrow. Having this message Seth Partrap Singh Ji advised Hazur to invite Master in
Agra, Madho Parshad Ji and Shiv Vert Lal Ji on this happy occasion o f meeting day o f all the
Masters. Hazur said whether the time was very short, but I can send a special man to Agra.
So Hazur wrote a letter as message and gave it to Bhai Maharaj Singh and sent Him to Agra.

 Three Masters reached Dera Beas three days before Bhandara. Hazur gave me seva o f look­
ing after them. I served them with love and devotion. They gave one dress each o f them and
also gave parshad to me when they left the dera. They also praised me in front o f Hazur, as
I arranged a beautiful room for them and it was extended from a small room to a big one in
order to make it easy for sitting five o f them. It was ready within a day. The Mason said that
the cement o f the floor was wet and it was hard to make arrangement for sitting. Hazur said,
"No matter o f fear. Spread hay on it and then spread sand over it. Spread the carpet over it
and place the mattresses." It was done in the same way. When the five Masters were sitting all
together at the time o f satsang on the mattress, they were looking like the five wicks (jots) are
falling from the sky. That time was looking very charming. We wished that the time would
never pass. "When there is a grace o f the Guru, He unites the separated ones."

Story #63:
Story o f Lasuri Shah o f Lialpur (city in Pakistan)

Shri Hazur Maharaj Ji was a Perfect Fakir and Sage o f Dera Beas. He respected all the
global Saints, Peers and Fakirs higher than God. One Fakir o f the highest level o f devotion
to God, was living in city Lialpur. His name was Lasuri Shah. Whenever Rai Bahadur Shankar
Das, Pandit Lal Chand and Sardur Bahadur Jagat Singh came to Dera Beas, he always sent his
wish o f respect to Hazur by the word o f Salam by them. When Hazur received his message
o f Holy Salam, He said that He did not accept it from a far far distance, so when we meet,
He would accept.
One time Hazur went to Gajar Gola (name o f city) to see machines. On His way back
He stayed at the residence o f Sardur Bahadhur Jagat Singh and Pandit Lal Chand at Lialpur.
Hazur said to me, "Kako, today I w ill go to see Shah Lasuri Shah Fakiri (Saint) and have you
anything to present him." I said, "I have a box o f apples." On the other side Lasuri Shah was
telling his disciple the true Master o f the holy altar was coming and to spread the beautiful
carpet for him."
When Hazur reached at the door o f Lasuri Shah, both o f them met with love. Lasuri
Shah arranged the singers o f Qualies (chorus holy songs.) They sang very beautifully in such
a way as there are no words to praise them. The singers sang on the inner beauty o f the in­
ner world. Hazur was also intoxicated in His intoxication. And the sangat was also in the
same boat. The singers and all o f them left at three or four o' clock at night. I said to Hazur,
"Apples may be less as there is a lot o f sangat." He said, "Kakia, they will not lessen, but will
increase." One apple was given to everyone as parshad (blessed food.) Some apples were
still there and they were given to Lasuri Shah. Hazur loved everyone and lead His life with
love. Those who were dear to God were loved by Him too much. Making Lasuri Shah and
his sangat intoxicated He came back. I saw a very blissful scene over there.

Story #64:
Hazur loved the true meditators.
True meditators believed Hazur and loved Him as God

Sometimes Hazur used to tell His own interesting knowledge. One time Hazur said,
"The person who keeps the company o f the Saints should be very honest." Hazur in His
whole life had been meeting the Saints. Then Hazur said, "Once I got up in the morning in
Kala Bagh (name o f hill station.) I felt very happy. I thought that the happiness came from
the air o f the mountains. Then the mind felt that it is the air o f daily morning. After some
time mind felt that the happiness in me is not due to that. Then I placed the saddle on the
back o f my horse and let the reins loose thinking that the horse can take me anywhere it
wants. The horse with its grace stepping on the narrow road took me to the other side and
stopped beside a Fakir (Saint.) My mind said only because o f meeting this Fakir the happi­
ness came in my mind.

Dalhousie
 The Fakir said, "Come oh form o f God and Perfect Saint, today I had been waiting for
you since morning. I was surrounded by overwhelming joys." I said, "Baba, I had been re­
ceiving the same joy since morning." That is the only reality that one should have, a know­
ing eye to see the true Saints. Hazur Himself spent His whole life successfully and made the
life o f all the beings successful.

Song o f the month Sawan:

By Bibi Lajo (in memory o f Hazur)

The garden is bloom ed with flowers in the month o f Sawan, so do not pluck the flowers
my friend. Sawan came, brought the greenery, flowers were bloom ing in the garden. Now all
flowers are fading oh my friend, all faded.
Great is the mother Jiwani who gave birth to Sawan, oh my friend. Great is the father
Kabul Singh (Sawan, Hazur as a child) play in his lap oh my friend. When Sawan Ji came in
this world, everyone made merries in every house, oh my friend. News spread all over the
world, oh my friend. Great is Baba Jaimal Singh Ji who grasped Him in His company, oh
my friend. Due to make a search for Him (Hazur) reached the hill station and brought the
diamond (Hazur) oh my friend. He made His home at the bank o f River Beas, and spread
the treasure o f Naam (Word, Sound) oh my friend.

Story #65:
Poem by Bibi Lajo in the pain o f separation o f her Satguru
Grace o f kind Radha Soami, Protection o f Radha Soami

My beloved after giving me courage Himself left me after showing the wave o f love. Mas­
ter, I had no knowledge o f your departure, suddenly all the heap o f troubles came to me.
When nineteen days were left for His departure, my beloved Master being merciful
looked at me with wide eyes o f love. The pain o f love was doubtful and He with His loving
words said to me, "Kako, what will happen to you after I am gone. I will go leaving this body.
No one will ask you your difficulties. You will wander crying and wailing, but you will not
see my this face again. There will be all darkness in front o f your eyes. Your heart will say
crying and wandering on my name."
Then I answered m y loving Satguru, "It is the duty o f you to leave after sending me to
your place within." My beloved Satguru answered, "I have no force in front o f my Satguru,
who placed the knife on my head, how the true disciple can deny." I requested to my be­
loved again to be a lawyer for me in front o f His Satguru and say that your child has no one
in this world that she can see my face again." Satguru said, "Do talk as much as you can do
today, after, nothing will be under your control. I will change this house (body) time will
pass and you remember me crying." Again I did request, "I will eat poison but will not bare
your separation." Then my beloved gave me strict order, "I do not accept suicide o f you as a
Saint and when will finish the cycle o f death and birth, if you do suicide." Again, He became
kind and request then wished that I should be called by Satguru rapidly. "Then Kako, every
kind o f trouble will disappear."
After finishing all talks He was lost in meditation and the face appeared o f departure.
Again after that He did not talk to me and broke m y heart within no time. He turned His
face at the night o f Thursday. He stayed alive for nineteen days with me. O n Friday, month
Chet 21st, left His physical body.
God went and the whole world was crying. When the bus was arranged for Him, my
body and the palace o f my beloved were rattling. What kind o f thorns o f separation entered
in my life which made holes in my heart by penetrating in my heart. Now my beloved will
never be in sight, left me all alone and spread darkness in my heart. Your sorrows occupied
my heart and the w hole world looks wailing and crying to me. Even the birds and animals
have shown their shock, all over in the country the noise of wailing for you has spread. No one, even
old, child, adult are in painful condition. All are mourning in your memory.
100
 My beloved slept permanently at 8:30 and was given a bath at 9 o' clock. The beautiful
white beard was looking beautiful on beautiful face. Pillows were decorated under His head
and black dress was worn to Him by the devotees. He became ready to go, but gave us the
permanent darkness. When He was made to sit in the chair and they started to bring Him
downstairs, and my beloved left the high temples forever. I also bowed my head to your
temple and made up my mind never to come here again. I will never go upstairs in your
room in my life and left your temple forever.
All friends and loving ones made Him ready to take Him out o f the temple (residence.)
They did not let Him stay at night. He was taken to the flowing river in blowing wind.
Mourning and wailing, I chased my beloved. No one let me see His face for even one time.
My hopes were dashed to the ground when they cremated Him. Whom should I tell my
pains now? No one listens to me. Only pains were increasing in my life day by day.
I was wandering crying and wailing inside Dera Beas. He made Beas unfertile and dry
forest. Thirteen days were passed with so much difficulties and the final religious ceremony
was done and the crown broke from the head. (It is tradition after the thirteen days when
one passed away, the holy book is brought into the house and prayers for the departed soul
are read. All the kith and kin, friends, loved ones come to attend all together.)
After fifteen days I got ready to leave Dera Beas. I was searching for my beloved if He
could be seen in Amritsar, I came here but He was seen nowhere. All rooms o f His palace in
Amritsar where He used to stay were silent. I was calling Him, crying and wailing but He was
not seen there. He advised me to do prayers for fifteen days, I did that and celebration o f His
separation was done by me in Amritsar ashram.
Today the seva (job) for my Satguru came to an end and He never gave me Darshan,
neither He gave any answer o f my prayers.
After twenty five days I again went back to Dera Beas, where I cried and mourned a lot.
My beloved neither called me Kako, nor did He give His Darshan and love to me.
Sighing and sighing my life was breaking down. Satguru killed my heart with His sepa­
ration. After this I went to the home town Sirsa o f my beloved. I was searching for Him if
He could be seen there. Everybody o f His family were seen there but only my beloved was
missing. He broke my heart. His body hid like the light o f the m oon in dark night.
Being disappointed I came back from there, but I did not get any answer from my be­
loved. Whatever pains I faced, to whom I can tell except my beloved Master. O nly my Sat­
guru and myself know the pains. I could not tell to anyone else, even though I wanted to
tell. Where I was living for twenty four hours with my Satguru, and where I passed my life in
making merries in the company o f loving Guru, where I decorated His palace with gold on
the domes o f the building, no one let me stay one night even and did not let me drink water
in the same palace where I lived the life o f joys with my Satguru. I was roaming around Him
with joys, like a mad woman.
I had been hungry for three days and was not served any food there in Dera Beas. The
rope o f separation was tied around my neck by my beloved. I was mourning and saying my
beloved left me, for what you have mined my life by giving your separation. The rule He gave
to me was all gone and placed me in the mle o f pains.
Leaving Dera Beas I came back to Amritsar. Seeing painful sky there the darkness spread
in front o f my eyes. For four days I cried and cried could not have sleep for four nights.
I was crying so loud that everyone became painful to see me painful. Being tired o f cry­
ing for four days and nights the sleep attacked on me. My beloved Satguru gave me Darshan
in my sleep. I was requesting Him, crying loudly, "Why you left me alone with pains. I was
playing in your lap, why you my loving Satguru turned your face from me?" I woke up and
thought to leave for Dalhousie (hill station where Hazur used to go and live in summer.) I
was out o f my wits being mad with love o f my Satguru. When I reached Dalhousie I opened
the rooms o f the house, if my Satguru was hiding somewhere in the mountains. Facing so
many troubles I had come here, crying loud I was searching for Him here and there in the
house o f my Satguru.

101
 I was just like a fish out o f water wandering like a mad woman everywhere in the forest.
Bruises were growing in my heart due to the pangs o f this separation. I was looking at the
things belonging to my Satguru and was having His Darshan every moment, now all over
the house looked me barren.
Crying I was calling myself unlucky I could not see every mountain without His pres­
ence. I tried to decorate His room and tried to place His picture on this sofa but my hands
became so weak that I could not place His picture, as eyes were wet with tears like the flow
o f the rivers. I was asking His picture for giving His Darshan, when He did not answer me. I
was surprised, whom I could ask now and could tell my painful condition. I am looking for
your way o f coming to me. I was asking His picture, "Please call me Kako now." When He
did not speak I was upset. "Please come to me once, I pleaded again and again, I have lost
my patience. Please give me your Darshan."
People around me were consoling me a lot but I was wailing and wailing like a mad
woman without my beloved. I was wailing in words, with tears in my eyes, "In which coun­
try have you gone? In which country should I light the candle for you?" W hen I was look­
ing at the mountains they looked me like with no green trees. I tried my best to search for
Him everywhere. The house where He gave me so many comforts washed me away in all
the troubles o f life. What troubles can I explain, it is very difficult to explain. My Satguru
has stolen my heart. It is becoming difficult to write more out o f His given grief to me, the
needle o f pain has occupied my chest, I am crying like the continuing rain and my tears are
out o f control. What type o f arrows o f separation have you to my heart, I am struggling like
a fish out o f water but my breaths are not stopping to finish my painful life. For what reason
have you left me alive? I am searching for you in the forest But I cannot see the face o f my
beautiful Satguru. You have gone giving me deep pains o f your separation. There is no pain
like the separation o f Guru, if someone wants to ask, he should ask me, the unlucky one.
The candle o f my heart is blown out and the candle o f His house is also blown out. I was
begging for light but light was not appearing. Today you have broken your promise to show
me light and gave me the dark night o f your separation. You have also snatched the day light
from me. There is always darkness in front o f my eyes.
When my beloved Satguru left, no one can guess the bad destiny o f mine. Those who
were folding their hands in front o f me do not ask even a word to me, are not ready to come
close to me. When my loving God turned His eyes from me, everyone turned His eyes from
me. Oh my Lord, bad days should not come for anybody. What blunders I did for which you
have left me alone?
You gave me Naam (initiation) and gave me the grace o f looking at inner sights o f inner
world. And today you made me orphan and beggar, whose heart never lived without reciting
your name. Today you limited me with my enemies. No one wants to talk with me since you
turned your face from me.
I was living in Beas with many expectations, Satguru had broken the line o f my expecta­
tions. Sitting in Dera Beas today I am disappointed that you have left me in barren place.
Today my beloved has left Beas for whom I lived there. I was praying with my folded hands
not to leave me alone. And do not disappoint me. I requested my beloved that I have be­
come very poor today, I am so unfortunate that my Satguru had left me.
When Sawan was here only then the Sawan rainfall was here and He cooled the hearts
which were full o f heat. In the month o f Sawan (July) the lightning from the dark clouds was
shining with joys and the peacocks were making merries out o f joy by their sweet voices.
When Sawan went the month o f Bhadon (August) came with hum idity like that when
my beloved Sawan went the sword o f His separation pierced into my heart, piercing such an
arrow o f His longing made me ruined. There is no use o f living now.
The peacocks who were making merries in His presence are shedding tears in His sharp
memories. Now, when the clouds o f tears are falling like cats and dogs what type o f clouds
o f tears are falling in any eyes. All the troubles are falling like rainfall.

102
 The fire is burning and the bones o f the body are also burning side by side. All the suf­
ferings have occupied my heart.
Today I am yearning, remembering the joys and happiness, given by His company, I will
never get the spring o f my beautiful Sawan.
Although I lose my life in crying and wailing and pass the time yet Sawan my beloved will
never be in sight. Satguru you left me and yourself went away, I will be crying and weeping in
your memories. Sometimes when He was sitting in His kothi (bungalow) at the hill station Dal-
housie, His light was shining there. My beautiful Satguru, the True One was uttering the sacred
words sitting on His sofa. His face was very beautiful and His words were beautiful also. Godly
beauty was appearing on His bright face. The beautiful turban on His head was like that o f the
King. Hundred lights o f one light (Jot) was giving light on His forehead. His words like flowers
were coming from His mouth, and were killing the hearts o f His lovers. So many lovers were
becoming intoxicated by His cool words. They were very happy to His face. The pleasures o f
His Naam made so many devotees inner awakened and they were lost in deep meditation.
At that time His forehead was shining like m oon and so many suns became shy in front o f
His light.
I was overwhelmed with joy to have Darshan o f my Satguru, He was showering the rain o f
His grace.
When the rain falls in the mountains everyone makes merries, like that my Satguru was
showering the rain o f His grace to everyone and made everyone happy. Today all the things
lying in here look useless. The same sofa, on which Sawan used to sit is looking useless. Ev­
erything here looks silent and bad to me. The room to which I liked and became happy has
become the cause o f my wailing and crying.
Everything for decorating His room is giving me sufferings and pains. Even the electric
light looks me bad without my beloved Satguru's presence. When the rain comes it burns
my heart now and the eyes are shedding tears like the torrent rain o f the thundering clouds
in the mountains. My beloved Satguru's beautiful face is hidden somewhere, I only see the
pitch dark everywhere here and there. I have fire o f burning longing within me and the
waves o f pain are jumping in the painful ocean o f my heart.
The eyes which had the Darshan o f my Sawan m illion times, are shedding tears in every
moment. Neither anybody consoles me nor did anyone come to share my pains, only by
myself all alone is crying and wailing, wandering here.
What kind o f hard separation is given by my Sawan who is the Master o f nameless uni­
versal country.
Hey, my beloved Master, call me once so that my burning pain can be pacified. I cannot
bare all these sufferings now, please finish my pains. W hy are you making a fish out o f water?
Sitting here in Dalhousie I am waiting for you. Please give me Darshan once in form o f
inner sound (Shabad or Word.)
The sound was echoing when I recited His name within. There was only love and love,
only one lover came within me taking pity on me, now I am wailing and mourning for those
moments o f His meetings within Shabad (Sound.) He made me realized for this pain and
moments o f separation. My Gum had been very loving to me, now no one is here to stop
my tears.
A devotee, the tme lover o f my Sawan came. He advised me to go with him as he was very
pitiful to me. We locked the residence o f Hazur but the doors o f my heart were also locked
by the arrows o f my beloved's separation. Crying and mourning we locked every door, think­
ing if I am alive will come to have Darshan o f your residence again. Oh my Satguru, I know
no one will open these doors now, unfortunate like me has locked them.
I came back with a loving devotee at Amritsar. I passed the day and night crying and
mourning. The pain occupied my heart completely.
In the morning lovers o f Sawan came to me and were asking all about the residence at
Dalhousie. Like this I passed my day with them. The mind thought o f Dera Beas. The ideas

103
were arising like the dust storm o f destruction in my heart where there was already a big dust
storm o f my beloved's longing.
On one hand the night was full o f pangs o f pain, on the other hand the dust storm o f my
beloved Satguru's longing was blowing in my heart. Thirdly all the sorrows have occupied
my mind and soul. Fourthly thorny yearning is eating my heart little by little. There was a
time when the buses and cars were decorated for m y Sawan. No horse cart is even seen today.
I reached dera with so many difficulties facing in my heart. The silent palace o f my Satguru
is eating my heart. The m oon o f my beautiful Satguru is hidden now. All dark nights are
hurting my heart. Neither Satguru asked my condition nor did somebody console me there.
Nothing looked good to me there, I was not feeling at home in Beas then. I am wandering
here like a mad woman. No hills o f Beas give me peace o f mind.
I am trying to pacify myself but no peace o f mind here. I am wandering here and there,
no one is here to call me Bibi, neither did anybody call me Kako with love. No one listened
my request o f this painful woman. I hide myself in His room, but my Satguru is seen no­
where. Oh my loving Satguru, tell me in which county you have gone, you gave me pain like
a fish out o f water.
All the methods o f ruling during the presence o f my Satguru became useless when this
Jogin (supportless worshipper) became dust placing her head into the fire o f burning love of
my beloved. I bum the wick with essence for your Darshan, my beloved Satguru. Those who
were mling in your presence had become Fakirs (beggars.) When powerful God has His bad
eye, even the mlers become Fakirs (beggars.) When God Himself wants to feed the lions with
grass, but when God wants, He makes the Kings to choose hay. When the destiny becomes
bad, He throws down the Kings from their thrones and makes the loafers Kings.
My heart does not want to stay in Beas Dera, as nothing looks good. Death is better than
living this kind o f life. Then there will be no pains o f separation. I could understand the
value o f waiting for Him, and would never be tired o f such kind o f wait with tears in the
eyes. No parents and no other relatives are needed by me now, all over I see the darkness
only, neither I want to see any bloom ing flowers now. The month o f Sawan (July) has come
close but I do not want to hear the voice o f the peacocks.
When Sawan was sitting in Sawan everything looked beautiful, all the decorated garlands
are broken and the rain o f Sawan is unwanted now. All garlands o f love are broken. Sawan
will never come in the month o f Sawan now. Bad condition o f my eyes has stopped to see
anything in this month. I will never play with my friends. I do not like the color o f henna
now. All the swings are broken and I do not like any swinging o f love. Looking at me my
friends are also crying. Everyone says. "Oh God, no one should face such a time o f separa­
tion and longing."
Today, no one listens my request, so where should I go to tell my sorrows. When Sawan
was present in Sawan the sangat would come wearing fine dresses. All were making merries.
All were doing seva with joy. All were singing happy songs in love o f Sawan. All were saying,
"May our Master live for thousands o f years." All were praying for His long life and were
saying, "You live long, instead we die." They wanted to remain in Beas Dera and wanted to
sing holy songs forever.
When the month o f Sawan came but Sawan did not come and all the flowers faded in the
gardens. The jasmine flowers which were bloom ing in His presence are faded now. Today,
the night is dark in the month o f Sawan without Sawan. This dark night has stung everyone's
heart, the whole world looks crying and wailing.
All are facing hard moments o f life. All are restless. Either young ones or old ones, every­
one looks mourning without their Guru.
Beautiful face o f Satguru was very bright when He used to sit on the beautiful stage for
giving His satsang. He was as beautiful as the full m oon is, having beautiful white beard and
milky white turban on His head. When He was uttering His words they were looking like
bloom ing flowers. His lips were stealing the hearts o f the devotees. When they were smiling
like jasmine flowers, Godly light was shining on His forehead along with them.

104
 Oh traveler, give my message to my beloved, why I made my relations with you? You do
not enter the yard o f the house, neither at night nor at daytime. I did a mistake to have you
in my life and if I had knowledge o f this separation, I would not have merge my eyes into
your eyes. The whole world is living happy but me, with burning pain I am wandering here
and there. I have merged the face o f my Satguru in my body just as the red color is merged
in the leaves o f henna.

105
O BELOVED SAWAN

Thy sight, O Sawan, gives light to the eyes,

Thy love takes the soul through space immeasurable,
Thv memory, O Beloved, remains fresh with us all the time.
The entire nature, with Suns and Moons, is envious of Thee.
All the flowers and buds and the cypresses tall rival Thee, in vain.
Beautiful is Thy form, ravishingly enchanting is Thy sweet smile.
Thou art a sure guide to all on the Path of Salvation,
Thou art a fountainhead of bubbling love for all and sundry;
The words of wisdom, chase away pain and affliction,
Those who take Thy name get absorbed in ecstasy divine.
Thou art an endless ocean of beauty and grace, O Master.
Thou art an ever-expanding flood of Light, O Lord
Thou art Light embodied for all in the sea of life,
Thou art the lighted Lamp unto our feet, here and hereafter.
Thou art a living embodiment of compassion, beauty and grace.
Thy light steps are faster than sound and light
Even the grandeur itself bows low before Thee.
The Grace of Thy face puts the blooming rose garden to shame,
A Beloved with all humility,
Thou hast a dignity that is life inspiring
Every act of Thine enlivens the soul and enriches the heart.
Thine eyes have a superb divine intoxication in them,
The hermits too try to picture Thy glances over and over again.
Thou art a centripetal force for the lovers and a source of loving
affection,
Thou art an altar for the helpless and a consoler for the forlorn,
Thou art the living abode of chastity and naive simplicity,
Thou arc a merciful guide to the deluded persons steeped in sins.
A look at Thee, O Beloved, makes one feel
That nature herself has expended all her charms on Thee.
Thy words sink into the hearts like firing darts,
Every act of Thine is but an opener of eyes,
The charming talk descends like lightning,
The whole creation is ready to make an offering at Thy feet.
Thy teachings, O dearest of the dear, are nectar for all,
The Word made flesh, Thou hast come with a call Homewards;
He, who looks at Thee is irresistibly drawn unto Thee
Even the strangers in their strangeness cannot but acclaim Thee.
How can Thy memory fade away as we live?
Thy form shall return even ere death shall come,
Not a living soul would, but flutter like a moth round Thee,
Not even an anchorite would, but fall in love with Thee.

 THE PERFECT DISCIPLE

THE PERFECT DISCIPLE

by
Bibi Laj Wanti

It is life's greatest blessing to be at the feet of a Sant Satguru. I was

privileged to serve Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj for about forty
years. I first came to Him when I was very young, and I was blessed to
serve Him to the last. I not only looked after the housekeeping for the Great
Master and attended personally to getting and cooking His food and
serving it to Him, but also to His clothes, their tailoring, washing, ironing,
and mending, and to other household needs of the Great Master.
I got to know Sant Kirpal Singh Ji, who we then addressed as Bhapa Ji
(respected brother), fairly early, that is about the time He came to the feet
of Hazur. He was a disciple of very exceptional devotion to our Satguru.
Even if He got just a day s leave, He would travel from Lahore to Beas.
Once at the Dera, He would be so lost, so taken up with His Master, that
He would lose all sense of whether His clothes were clean or not, neat or
torn, or whether His hair was tidy. He would often put His shoes at one
place and later be looking for them at another. I once remarked, “Bhapa Ji,
if women get lost like this, it is pardonable; but You, You should not be in
this condition! What is wrong with You?” He looked to me, and said, “Bibi
Ji, I do not know; when I reach the railway station here, it is as though I
have lost half my senses, and when I arrive at the Dera I lose the remaining
half. When I look into His eyes, there is magic: I am simply lost.” Once in
Beas, He would stay on as long as was possible. He would be working
often up to midnight and return to Lahore by the 1:00 a.m. train. He would
reach His destination around 3:00 a.m., and then after getting home He
would be off to the office next morning. If when leaving, Hazur would
offer to have Him dropped at the station in His car, Bhapa Ji would find
some excuse. He would say, “I am not going just yet. Maybe I will be
going somewhat later.” He would sometimes say to me when I protested,
“Why add to the wear and tear of Hazur's car?” Such was His reverence
for His Satguru that when departing from the Dera He would almost walk
backwards so as not to turn His back upon the Master's home. It was only
after He was almost out of sight that He would turn around and walk
straight towards the railway station.
In Hazur s presence, Sant Kirpal Singh Ji was a man of very few words.
Whatever Hazur said, it was always “Yes Sir,” for Him there (were) no ifs
and buts. If He took a fancy to anything, His first thought was to get it for
His Master. Hazur was fond of books, and when Sant Kirpal Singh Ji came
across any book which He liked and thought it might please Hazur, He

would get a copy and have it very beautifully bound and present it to Him.
On one occasion He was very keen to have a silk coat for Hazur. Hazur
would never accept gifts, but seeing the earnestness of Bhapa Ji’s wish I
could not refuse to help Him. The silk piece which He brought was sent to
the tailor for making the coat, and when it was ready, Hazur asked about
it and wanted to know how much it had cost. I did not know and when He
cross-examined me, I told Him by whom it had been brought. “So the two
of you have been conspiring against me,” Hazur responded. When Kirpal
Singh Ji came, He asked about the price of the silk-length. Somewhat at a
loss He replied that He did not quite remember, and Hazur took out a
hundred-rupee bank note and handed it to Him.
Sometimes when Sant Kirpal Singh Ji came to see Hazur, I would laugh
and tell Him, “Bhapa Ji, if I let You go up, You would be there for such a
length of time. Sorry, today we won’t let you go in!” He would quietly turn
away and I would have to call Him back and say, “I was only joking. Please
go right up. You are always welcome.” He had so much humility, and He
never endeavored to assert Himself as many others did. Hazur used to rest
in His room upstairs and would retire there for the night. Once on a
beautiful moonlit night Bhapa Ji was with Him till well past midnight. I
was there, too. When we came down, He suddenly wanted to go up again.
“Bibi Ji, it was so wonderful! Did you see? His face was so radiant, more
radiant than the moon itself. He was so beautiful tonight. I would like to
have His darshan again. Just this once, only for a minute.” I remonstrated,
“We have just been with Him. And if He has stretched Himself to sleep,
He would be upset. We should not disturb Him.” “Just this once, only a
minute. Just a glimpse.” Seeing Him insist, I quietly went up to ask Hazur
if He could let Bhapa Ji come up again. On hearing me out He said, “Oh,
Kirpal is a sieve, just a sieve, and so are you!” I thought He was
reprimanding us, and asked, “Hazur are we so bad? Do you mean that we
are unable to contain Your grace and whatever love You pour simply
drains through?” “No, no, that is not what I mean,” Hazur laughed. “When
a disciple is truly devoted, He is like a sieve. There is no limit to the love
and grace He can receive. Whatever you give, He still thirsts and yearns
for more. You cannot fill Him up just as you cannot fill up a sieve.” And
so I went down and brought up Bhapa Ji.
Once having cleaned and washed some wheat, I had laid it out to dry.
Seeing it, Bhapa Ji asked me if it was for my own use. Hazur ate very little
and I explained that I would be hand-grinding flour for His chapatis for the
month. I was particular about attending to such things myself, but Bhapa
Ji asked me to let Him grind the flour, saying, “Bibi Ji why can’t you allow
me to have the blessings by permitting me to do Seva such as this?”

There were no limits which Sant Kirpal Singh Ji set to His love and
service of Hazur. Every month He would bring His earnings and place
them at the feet of His Satguru. Hazur would keep back whatever He
pleased for Seva at the Dera and give the rest for running Bhapa Ji's
household. Bhapa Ji never questioned; He never mentioned if there was
any special expense, He had in mind back home. Whatever His Satguru
gave Him from the wages He had earned, He was glad to accept for His
family needs. Nothing could deter Him from fulfilling His Satguru’s
commands and nothing could prevent Him from coming to Beas to see
Him. Once when His son was seriously ill and the doctors had almost given
up hope, He took the train and came to Beas. “How is the child?” Hazur
asked Him, and He replied, “You know what is best.” “We can't let him
go..." said Hazur, and turning to me asked me to fetch some water and a
bag of Patasas (sugar-puffs). He dipped two of His fingers into the water
and held them there for a considerable length of time. Then giving a bottle
of this water and the bag of Patasas to Bhapa Ji, He said, “Throw away all
the medicines and in their place, from time to time, give the child a sugar-
puff and some of this water.”
There are so many memories that come back that I could go on with
such anecdotes without end. But the important thing to realize is the kind
of surrender that the Satguru asks of us. He wants us to renounce
everything and surrender it unto Him. If we can surrender ourselves to
Him, He remakes us in His own image.
Baba Jaimal Singh surrendered Himself to Swami Ji and became an
image of His Satguru. Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj similarly surrendered
Himself to Baba Ji and in due course became one with Him. In His turn,
Maharaj Kirpal Singh Ji showed the same quality of devotion and of
surrender and became indistinguishable from Hazur in the course of time.
When we come to a Satguru, we must surrender everything we have to
Him, body, mind and soul. If we do this, there is no reason why we cannot
reach His Radiant Form within us, and having reached that Form, He takes
us further and does not stop until He has made us in His own image.

T ranslators Note:

Bibi Lajo (real name Laj Wanti) was a perfect disciple o f Perfect Master Sawan Singh
Ji. The translator spent thirty years with her only to know how the true love for her Guru
was strong.
The readers by reading her book, which she wrote in Indian language H indi is carefully
translated in her own style o f expressing her true love, faith, and devotion for her beloved
Guru.
Therefore the translator did not pay much attention to grammar, only tried to show her
love even in the hours o f longing for her Guru in His physical departure and separation. So
the translator requests the readers too for forgiveness if they find any difficulty in understand­
ing the words or sentences. In Hindi, it is her beautiful way o f expressing the real love and
longing for her Guru, therefore the translator wants to show the same way in English as she
showed in Hindi. The translator personally saw her in the same condition o f longing for her
Great Master Sawan Singh, as she expressed in her book "Sakhian" titled in Hindi. The
translator liked giving title "Memories o f Sawan" (Sakhian) by the Perfect Disciple, Bibi Laj
Wanti.
