Letter from Mr. T. S. Khanna

In continuation of previous two letters you all will be pleased to know that the Master is doing very well, though kept very busy but always remembering you and the rest.

News from here is great - the Master who had arrived in the States only a fortnight back and at the time He was complete stranger except for a handful of Satsan-gis to meet Him, but these handful have really proved a Handful - they have done great work and in all sin-cerity too. First making these poeple as stepping sto-nes, the Master now is working wonders. In only seven-teen days’ time a stranger in this mighty country is proclaimed in many recognised circles, public and pri-vate meetings and churches, as the World Spiritual Le-ader. I think this is the most miraculous thing that has ever happened, as this is an Atomic Age, so the Master is keeping pace with the age. He is just ente-ring into the hearts of all who come to him, even though at the beginning they are not convinced of the Path, for it is hard for them to accept an entirely new thing and from a stranger from another country and colour too. He is forcibly pouring the Light of God into their blinded eyes and they do have wonderful ex-periences. He just brings Jesus Christ to them to con-vince the people - for to many has the Christ appeared with the radiant form of the Master.

Invitations are pouring in from many different pla-ces and societies in America. I means socially diffe-rent only, for as we are all seekers of the same Truth, so in actual sense we belong to the same socie-ty too. It makes no difference if we seek Him recli-ning in an easy chair in a drawing room or sitting cross-legged in the Himalayas, as long as the cry for him comes from within the heart, that is all that mat-ters. I see now how much in need are these people he-re, they are as much in need of Him as we are in India or in the East. I wish that we could only bring out all that was taught by all Masters who came in the past and revived by Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji and be-nefit the seekers with the Lord’s presence with full hearted sincerity.

The Master was invited and was on the television on the 13th morning. He was filmed (movie) in the Fri-ends’ Meeting House, where He was holding a Satsang on the 19th of June at 4 o’clock in the afternoon. This movie is going to be shown on the television on the 25th evening and then on some other dates too. These people will continue to send this film, together with a resume of the teachings of the Master, to the various stations in the West to be broadcast on tele-vision. The press is also at work. His pictures and advertisements come out in the papers. All this goes to glorify the name of our Master Baba Sawan Singh Ji Maharaj.

Today He was invited by the Central Y.M.C.A. to spe-ak on the ‘Spiritual Discipline in an atomic Age’ and the hall was full with men and women of various countries of the world and there was a pin drop silen-ce when and as long as the Master spoke. I cannot describe in actual words what He said there, for today there have been three talks by Him in three different places - Y.M.C.A., Methodist Church, and the Friends’ Meeting House but roughly and in my own words, He said that God made man and man made social religions. Soci-al religions were made for the uplift of man and man was not made for social religions. He was to make the best uses of them. We are members of he same family of God irrespective of the fact to which particular soci-al religion or country we belong.

If the people do not change we are in great danger of having the world wiped out by our own hands, though all Nations are screaming at the top of their voices for peace, goodwill and love for one another, but the-re is no sincerity in their hearts, their lips are ut-tering words of love and at the same time their brains are inventing new improvements on Atom Bombs. How can this bring peace in the world. If we really loved, we would be loved in return. It is against the law of na-ture that love should ever beget hatred. But we cannot love, we cannot throw the weapons of destruction away, for we are afraid, afraid not for others but for our own death. We are living in an age of great fear of death and dread of the unknown and beyond this life - that is why so much mistrust of our own kith and kin though settled in other countries, we want to slaugh-ter and finish up other Nations so that no other race remains and we should be safe - this is what is called as Grand Delusion, knowing fully well that we have to leave this body and all that we posses through this body some day - there is no exception to the rule, yet we still want to cling to this perishable matter and we make believe that we are never going to die, others might but not Me! The impossible have come into possi-bility - like aeroplanes, televisions, atom bombs, etc. through the brains of man, but why isn’t more thought given to the Truth? We have all to die and death is not so frightening as it seems, and this strange clinging love for any perishable things, as your body and many other things, is not right. This body was given to you as many other things, for your use. It was given as a slave to you - but open your eyes, can’t you see the slave has become a Master of yours. You fell in love and depended so much on your body that now you cannot do without it. This is the State of affairs which is bringing all this dis-satisfaction in this world.

The world might make up but it cannot without the help of a Master, someone who has realized Himself and realized God and who can help us to know ourselves, and this we cannot do unless we leave our body while we are still alive and analyse ourselves; and this on-ly a Master can teach you and with His power make you leave your body. You should die a hundred times a day and each time you will get acquainted with the much dreaded „Death“ and all sting of death will go away. This is the only way to save the world from utter de-struction.
Love thy God with all thy soul, with all thy mind and with all thy strength. As God resides in every heart we should love all humanity. All other Scrip-tuers hang on these two commandments, when you will observe these. You will see the truth with your own eyes, then love will not only awaken in you, but you will be one with love for God is love - and the king-dom of God will descend on earth and there will be peace and good will all around. This is the only solu-tion and no other. If we want peace we must turn our faces towards God and realize ourselves.

On the Afternoon of June 19th, Sadhu B.G. Grewal, a Spiritual leader who is well versed in the comparative study of all religions, came down from Detroit, a pla-ce located about 1,000 miles from Washington, only to see the Master. He was with him for over four hours and spiritual matters were discussed and he went away quite satisfied and invited the Master to his place and offered is whole-hearted cooperation when he would go over there.

You will see how the Grace of Hazur Maharaj Baba Sa-wan Singh Ji is working in all its glory.
In addition to the above meditaions in the morning talks are also held in the evenings - the people are being drawn to the Master.

I am sending you some copies of „Message of the Great Master and His Ashram“, which has been printed here for free distribution.

You will be glad to know that the Master has arran-ged to speak to you on the auspicious occasion of Ha-zur’s Birth Anniversary Day which falls on the 27th of July. This talk will be relayed from Voice of America, Ceylon to India at 7:00 p.m. on July 27th, 1955 Indian Standard Time, at 25, 42 Meter Short Wave. You may please arrange all interested to meet wherever they are and listen to the Voice of the Master speaking in sweet rememberance of Hazur Maharaj Baba Sawan Singh Ji - Let His Kingdom be established on earth.
