Gold is made into jewelry and other attractive articles, but that which comes direct from the mine is called “ore”, although the gold is there. When the mind and other minerals are filtered form it, there pure gold is there. When the mud and other minerals are filtered from it, the pure gold is left. And so when final analysis is made, and the mind and senses are removed, man is then God.

One can conceive the great possibilities of which to avail oneself having received the blessing of a human birth; to separate the consciousness from matter and realize who one truly is. When the soul became jiva, by association with the body and the world it adopted the same identity, for wherever the attention is directed one becomes as that. So now, lost in creation it cannot find itself and return to its true home or origin until it is free and pure again. He who has found his own self, has realized himself, has become one with God – he is man-in-God or God-in-man. The same Light which has become effulgent in him sustaining the whole creation.

What is God? In truth, he is not light, he is not sound; but when he expressed Himself these two principles emanated from him and came into being. Our soul being a drop of the wave of that God-into-expression Power, a direct connection with it will take us back to the source from which it emanated – which is Anami or absolute God. This is the message extended by all true Master's who have come, in different mode or language, according to the time.

Everything has natural inclination to return to its original state and source. If you turn a lighted candle upside down, yet its flame will go up; for its sources is the sun. If you throw a ball of clay in the air as hard as you like, it will but return to earth again from whence it came. If the soul gets freed from mind and senses it will automatically be drawn toward God.

The first thing we must do is: still the mind. The very foundation of yoga is controlling the intelligence. The word yog is derived form yuj, which means “to rejoin”, and to rejoin the Lord is the ultimate task ahead of man, a task which can be achieved only in human form. Others forms are only for various enjoyments. Some human beings because of their past karma, also live to enjoy whereas others are not so heavenly burdened and therefore the Truth is more apparent to them; they have better powers of differentiation. The latter type of human being can realize him and realize God.

Today is the festival of Baisakhi which is celebrated in different ways according to the various religious customs. Nature itself celebrates by sprouting of new buds and leaves, and the new life begins form this season. We should take a lesson from Nature and the sprout forth with a new life. In the Hindu religion there are ten avatars, and certain Hindus celebrate this day as a double even: the birth of Parshuram, and the overcoming of evil by Narsing Avatar. Parshuram was a great yogi. Narsing was the avatars who saved Prince Prahlad and killed the Prince’s Father, the tyrant King Hirnaikashya, who while ruling the people with a rod of iron had declared himself God and had made them worship him. By performing sever austerities he had obtained a great boon from the gods: that he would never die by any hand born out of life, nor during the day or night, nor within or without any building, not on earth nor in sky, etc. his son Prahlad became a true devotee of the Lord and solemnly declared that God was God and not his Father. The king tried to kill the Prince by various methods or torture, but the pure devotion of the child repeatedly drew on the grace of God for salvation, until finally his Father ordered that Prahlad should embrace a red-hot iron column. Confronted with such a formidable test, the child at first hesitated, but on seeing an ant crawling up the column he stepped forward with joy and place his arms around the column. At once the column split asunder and out stepped Narsing Avatar in a form born out of the fiery structure terrifying to gaze upon. He took the king in his powerful hands and as the sun went down he stepped into a doorway neither inside nor outside and tore the king apart. 

I Congratulate the Buddhists on this day, for the Lord Buddha was born on Baisakhi, on Baisakhi he received enlightenment and on Baisakhi he left his body finally – Nirvana. So both religions have good reason for celebration. For us also it can be a great day, for we are constantly lamenting that we should start life anew; so we should start this new day as the beginning of a new life in which the flowers should blossom and the fruit should come forth. There should be so much fruit on each branch that the weight may bow the fruit to the earth. 

This is a great day for Sikhs also. In truth, Sikhism is not a cult; this is what I feel. One poet says that the world changes, and a true man is he who changes the world. On this day, some three centuries ago, Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, started the Khalsa. In those days the people were killing each other in the name of religion, and he started to erase the controversy by forming the Khalsa. A Khalsa is a true disciple, and on this day the Guru found five true disciples among his followers and made them leaders of the people. 

There was religious enmity during the life of Guru Nanak, neither Muslim; the breath of this body is Allah and Ram. He meant that Allah and Ram are one, but they still insisted on further explanation, so he said, if say I am a Hindu you will kill me, Muslim I am not; Nanak is that invisible Power playing in this puppet of five elements. They were concerned only with outer labels, and he had no desire to claim the outer form which signifies a Hindu or Muslim. His answer served to show them that man is greater than his outer appearance, for he is truly the power which resides in the physical form. We all stick on labels, sooner or later, entangling ourselves in conformity, but in truth we are just men – just human beings.

On this subject, Guru Gobind Singh Ji says, the chaste of all humanity is one. We are all born the same way and have been given the same faculties. During the life of Kabir, as an open challenge the Brahmins declared that they had come to the world by direct orders form the mouth of Brahma, but Kabir replied, O Brahmin, if you came direct from God, why were you not born differently than other men? Even the outer and inner physical structure of all men is the same; no one has four arms, etc. all have the same privileges, whether born high or low according to their karma. As for these karmas of the past, Tulsi Sahib says, the great Law of Karma has created the world’s condition; each will take the fruit of his actions. Valmiki was a low caste untouchable, who became Valmiki was low caste untouchable, who became Maharishi Valmiki! Because according to karma from his past, the change was bound to take place. But these days the children of Brahmins are called Brahmins indiscriminately, and so on in other castes, for as time passes, chains upon chains are added in the name of religion, and the basic oneness of all men is forgotten.

So on this day, five specially selected disciples were chosen, and they were called panch piara or the beloved five. The prevailing conditions of India at that time called for such action, but that is past and is not our concern. In those days, whether friends or enemies, men had no respect for each other, and the Guru sought to awaken the life and meaning of true teaching. He made a public announcement, and asked, “who will offer his head for sacrifice?” now it is a simple matter to find hundreds of people who will agree with everything you say, and still more who will willingly bow down in obeisance. There are many also who will give their wealth for a cause. But how many can you find who will give up their wealth for a cause. But how many can you find who will give up their lives? After a moments pause, one man arose and came forward to them Guru, and then four others, one by one. He did not kill them, but made them his beloved disciples, above all religion – true human beings with the fact accepted. Then he gave them his light for from one Light others are kindled. He made the khalsas – what is said of the Khalsa?

The khalsa is my true form;
The khalsa is my abode;
The khalsa is my full intoxication;
The khalsa is my complete Satguru.

He is one who will never leave me. He tales responsibility for the soul until the end; in that Lord does my mind rejoice. And as further indication: Thinking of Him as the Pure One, in whom the effulgent Light is glowing.

He infused then with the water of life. Religion is no consideration; He who takes God’s Name becomes His own. Master never takes people the prisoners of religion. Religions are our schools of thought, of which we have to make the best use.

I am Thine, O Lord. May Thy victory be everywhere. The Khalsa has been described as a living Light. Guru gobind Singh gave them the Inner Light, and even outwardly bound them unto himself by vows with charged sweetned water given by his own hands. And then he made them offer the same water to himself, showing that the Guru is the disciple, and the true disciple is the Guru – which is an outer pointer to his greatness.

All Master's made disciples of course, including Lord Buddha, Hazrat Mohammed Sahib, Jesus Christ and others. They made disciples that they should become Buddhas, and Christ’s. They regularly took food with their disciples, thought the disciples never actually realized them to be as great as they were. I am speaking very frankly. The tenth Guru sahib said, I am a khalsa and saying this, he took the amrit from their hands; and to combat the condition of the time he formed a volunteer corps. He changed nothing in their religion; they remained Hindus, but willingly sacrificed their lives for the cause of truth and honor. One is reminded of Vali Khan and Nabi Khan Ali Khan who were Muslims, and who also sacrificed their lives for Guru Gobind Singh’s cause. When Nabi khan Ali Khan was killed, a man went to inform his wife; her first words were not concerning the death of her husband but, “Is my Guru all right?” what sacrifice was that!

When Bhai Nnadlal Ji wrote a book of prayer called Bandgi Nama, Guru Gobind Singh gave the book the title of Zindgi Nama, meaning “The Giver of Life.” If you have the opportunity to read it, you will become thoroughly awakened to the true teachings. The tenth Guru Said, we are the worshippers of the same living Light. All Master pointed out that outer practices are of our own making, meant for the preparation of the ground. Maulana Rumi is also said that theists and atheisists have the same in both. All rituals are results of superstition.

First the unity of consciousness in creation was set. There is only one brahm – there is nothing else –which was later qualified by others according to their own approach. Through Gods Light where all his children created into his play ; with the same Light the whole world is created –who is good and who is bad? It is subject for deep thought. How can you make a kalasa by merely sticking a label on someone? The greatness of the tenth Guru lies in this: that teaching himself infused the Light, and then made them as great as himself. Wherever these five beloved will be, there will ib also. If you Sit near and awakened soul, you also will awaken.

The system was excellent, but it was difficult to get consulates. He made one Guru home in which all were equal. No one need worry what he was going to eat where his clothing coming from, how his children were going to be fed he told every one to do nishkam seva (selfless service) and to keep the living Light within a live always. He gave an example: like sparks jumping from a fire, they fall back to become part of it again. We are the sparks of that living Light. The soul has an innate desire to return to its own home, but estranged in the foreign land, it has become entangled with the mind and senses and is superficially reluctant to leave. 

Guru gobind Singh Ji broke down the religions narrow mindedness; it was great work. It not an easy task to break old rituals, even though the basic teaching are the same given by the Guru nanak, kabir, and other Master’s. Ravidass Ji says, he cannot be baought, but is attain through true devotion. It is also said, count the executionar as they purest if they God resides in his mind. Anyone in who manifested is the purest of all. If the system that Guru Govind Ji Maharaj introduced could be implemented today, all life uncertainty removed. From the very being I have thought that there should be common kitchen and every one should eat there. Everyone is subject to the attitude, “this is mine, this is mine, “ but it is an obstacle. All are not at the same stage of development, but there is great hope for those who are sincere and willing. 

So today we celebrate basaki, because the Kalasa panth was started on that day. Many people have the wrong understanding of the word Khalsa is the one in whom the Light is manifested. It has even been said that, the khalasa will reign over all; all those who will sit at his feet will be saved. You will not that those who come to his feet will be saved; not the rest. The Khalsa is not form from outer appearances and in the end only the spiritual men will rule. The spiritual person in whom the God has manifested Him, self is the Khalsa and those who come to his feet will be saved. Other will have to remain in there humiliation. That which man accepts as law through generation as customary habit, is viewed by the Master's from a detached and therefore more accurate angle of vision. They see no value in relies highs and lows. They Light the Light within all an reveal that all are one and the same. They so called Gurus remain as Gurus and their disciples remain disciples, but the true Master say no, we are one and the same. Our Hazur used to say, “no emperor want his son to remain his an officials “ a true Saint desires that the followers also become the Saint. All men, from both human and spit\ritual levels, are one and the same. He who is controlling the Power is the giver and the doer. Even the meaning behind in the pooja or namaaz (hindu and muslim devotional practices respectively) is the same. With the pooja a lamp is lit and then pooja performed while the Muslims place their hands on their ears and utter the sound called baang! On the path of the Master the initiates is taught how to place the hands on the ears and hear the inner sound. One should to the inner baang (music of the spheres), which is spiritually efficacious.

Guru Nanak once went to shiraz (in Persia), and they’re a muslim priest and named rounding, who asked the Guru, “have you ever seen the house of the Lord?” Guru Nanak replied, “yes” and proceeded the physical form: it has twelve minarets, a six at each extremity (joints the arms and legs); fifty-two spires (thirty two teeth and twenty nails); and two widows (eyes). It is also said, in a lofty special palace, khuda (God) is given the baang. So one should be savable to understand clearly that true masque, church or temple is the human form. Mosques are forehead shaped, church steeples are nose shaped, temples and Guru dwaras are dome or head shaped, all model inventions of the true temple of the God. This body is the temple of God in which the true Light is seen. 

Maulana rum tells us that for those whos eyes are not open, mosques are made with the clay and water. For the awakened people –the complete Master's the mosque is the true heart at the seat of the soul. During my western tour I told the people many times that God does not reside in temple made with stone, but he himself made house in which he resides. But we have forgotten the true temple and respect the man may outer images of the true house. What tragedy we go to do the imitation temple, leaving the natural mosque to bear the labor. The man maid model was intended to teaches that there is such a thing as inner Light and sound, and we should have to learn with draw to experience it; but instead we are worshipping any image, indiscriminately. In sacred solemnity we are clutching the outer skin, oblivious to the fruit that lies within.

In the Upanishads it is written what is that, the knowledge of which makes everything else know? The soul is conscious entity; as long as it does not merged into the all consciousness, it will never be at peace. Further more, the mind can never be controlled while it remains without contact with the Naam or God Power. When you get the Naam the mind becomes controlled. In a life of Lord Krishna it is mentioned that deep in the river jamuna he encounter thousand headed serpent with which he over Powered by playing his flute. The serpent represents the mind, which has a thousand ways, is poisoning us. With victory over the mind you have victory over the world. There is no other obstacle between us and the Lord, that the mind. If your heart holds a strong desire and release God, then put one foot on your mind- to still it –and the next step will take you to the home of the Lord. 

In the khoran it is written that if a man can recognize his true self, then he will recognize God. The same teachings are brought by all Master's for all people. A light appears in the human form, and all religions are enlightened by it. For those who meet his receive the enlightenment. When each enlightened soul leaves, a new religions starts to keep his teachings alive, but without the practical guidance, a decline sets in. every one is over zealous in upholding his own believes, and no one is willing to sit his common ground on equal footing to discuss the spiritual matters. The true teaching remains the same, age after age –truth is one, for every one. God is not different for Hindus, Muslims, Christians and so on; he is the God of the whole world and is not a hindu, muslim, Christian, Buddhist, etc., 

Even now a small amusing incident remains in my memory, which happened when I was in Peshawar, studying in the ninth grade. I used to take my books and study in garden named shahi bagh, and one day a man whos name I still remember –Darbarilal –asked me, “where is shahibagh?” I told him that he was standing beside that very garden, and he said, “I have come to settle judgment on a dispute, for I have been told that the hindu God is crime because the muslim God has beaten him up and broken his legs.” (People gathered in shashibagh specially for discussing different controversies) even at the young age I was shock to discover that people thought each religion had a different God.

Poor understanding is wide spread because men do not rise above the worldly level to see the facts from a more accurate angle of vision. Up to the time of the tenth Guru, no Master have revealed the circumstances of his pasts births so openly as he did. In the later part of his life talked of many strange things, including the “even pointed spender” of Hemkunt, place of seven hills where he had performed many austerities in a past life, through which he lost individuality and became one with the Lord. He was there seated in great bless, but the Lord gave him orders, “child, go into the world and work.” Guru gobind Singh Ji recounts that he had no desire to return to the world, but was persuated, so he said, “what are your orders, my Lord?” the Lord said, “those who are there and most of those who have been there have encouraged the place of there own names. Go and tell of my name –show that there is God.” 

To day is basakhi and our new life should start. All differences in our hearts should be removed. A man once asked me why it was that no Master has asked, “put your attention on me, “ but rather they say, “put your on him.” I told him that the instruction must be properly understood. Lord Krishna said, put your attention on that true form of mine. The method remain same regardless of where the Power is manifesting. Electricity will sometimes heat and sometimes chill. Avatars and Saints are manifestations or phases of the same Lord. Misunderstanding and narrow mindedness create separation of brother from brother, but God intoxication is one and the same. We are worshipers of living Light, regardless of which religion we belong to.

Some Christians come to prophet Mohammad and request him to give them a place where they could build a church and what did he do? He gave them half the mosque for their church! Would anyone do such a wonderful thing to day? Think carefully over his action and what it means. Are we prepare to follow in the footsteps of our elders? 

Guru Harboring, the sixth Sikh Guru, built mosques and temples as well as Guru dwaras side by side whenever necessary. In amritser, the foundation stone of the famous Sikh golden temple was laid by hazrat Mian mir, a muslim Saint, at the special request of Guru arjan. To rise above body consciousness means to rise above illusion; then one realizes in truth that they exists no differences –religious, sectarian or other. This is truly ultimate goal; outer things are merely helping factors leading toward it, and man has a social being must live in some social group, otherwise corruption starts its corroding process.

Once in Lahore, an atheist called people from various religions together to discuss the question, “is religion necessary?” each religious leader spoke at length, proving the necessity of the different forms and rituals, etc. I was present, present sitting in the front row. Then the atheist stood up to give his proof as to why religion is not necessary, giving various examples. Among these, he stated that when a marriage is to take place it is merely a matter of the priest, pundit or mullah placing his hands on the couple in blessing before a group of witnesses to join them together, so as to prevent corruption. It does not make any difference if it is performed in one religious way or another.

I stood up and said, “brothers is it not true that if ten or twenty thousand people were of your thought, then a new society or sect would have to be formed? In that society, some rules and regulations would have to be made. You desire to save yourself from organizations, but you are inadvertently creating another. If each man stayed in his own sect and learned how to know his true self or soul and that Power which controls all things, would not that be better?” he was an atheist, but he replied, “what you have said is correct.” For as long as I lived in Lahore we used to meet on every loving terms. 

One Master he said that in the night, the Lord’s fragrance is given out – he who remains awake receives this precious gift. Do the world duties in the daytime, and at night consider that you are all alone, deep in the country. One’s duties and social obligations with family and friends should be performed with pleasure, because God has joined you together, free from all this and repose in His lap. It is not at all necessary to leave your home and family for meditation when you have the long lonely nights. When you are wholly absorbed in some object, it is true sanyas, cutting off from all other things, and if we start from today, most definitely our lives will change.

In regard to the householder’s life: Marriage is not a bar to spirituality, if one lives according to the scriptures. There may be one duty of begetting children, but that is not the be all and end-all of married life; there is grossly wrong understanding on this subject. Do not make the human form a mere machine for vice. Instead, make your life pure and controlled.

If you wish to have one or two children, well and good, but look after them properly and help them to become something good. Set a worthy example for them, and remain aware of the responsibilities of parenthood. Furthermore, the whole family should sit together and sing the praises of the Lord. 

The Guru Sahib tells us to take a bath in the Yog. If you want to become one with God you must throw away all worldly thoughts. To take bath in Yog means a daily bath in His hands of worldly affairs, you should not sit in God’s remembrance. The Muslims do vazu (washing of the hands, face and feet) before they sit for the namaz, for they believe that unless this is done, the prayer will not be accepted. So we should wash the worldly environments out of our thoughts before we sit in meditation. The Hindus say that puja should not be done unless on first takes a bath. The most effective bath is to withdraw you attention from outer things.

Grow the nails of regularity. An army without a commander will end up in chaos, so we must command our lives with regularity. If you are employed somewhere, you go there daily at the proper time, without any trouble, and for meditation we should adopt the same attitude and sit daily at the regular time. Sadly, we are adrift; sometimes we sit, sometimes we don’t. If we were truly regular, we would find that if we should happen to have a day without meditation, we would feel ill at ease, as though we had missed something. If possible, there should happen to have a day without meditation, we should happen to have a day without meditation, we would feel ill at ease, as though we had missed something. If possible, there should be a room in the home set aside for God’s remembrance alone – you would find that the very atmosphere of that room would remind you of Him.

In the last stanza of the Jap Ji, you will find, Make chastity your furnance and patience your smithy. To fashion gold into something beautiful, a goldsmith must first melt the metal by the aid of a furnace. Take these two things, patience and chastity, and go on working toward your goal. With patience one will continue to persevere, even when the progress seems slow. Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. It is a promise Christ gave. So take these things into your lives: patience, perseverance, chaste pure living, and regularity. Then? Make the night your jungle, and see what a beautiful program will result. 

In the past, a true brahmcharya would spend his first twenty-five years in a jungle ashram, learning the Vedic and Shastric scriptures. Then he would enter the grehastha ashram (take up the duties of a householder). After consciously bringing up his one or two children to the stage of adulthood, he would then return to the forests in the vanprasth ashram wherein he would study for self-realization. Having realized the Truth, he would leave that stage and journey around in the world, helping the people to awaken. Today’s preaching is done for the stomach only. Some people earn their livelihood by their own hard labor in one way or another, and some take their living from religion or religious books. 

So make your home a jungle. He, who lives in his own home, remaining aloof far from worldly taints, yearning within for the Lord, will receive far more benefit than from taking a bath in the limpid waters of the holy River Ganges. Become so closely connected with the Lord that either He or you remain – not two.

If someone makes a mistake, forgive him. But people prefer justice to forgiveness. Remember this, that with justice, the heart is never cleansed. I will give an example from my own experience . My wife was once traveling home by train , and I went to meet her at the railway station . As soon as she stepped off the train , and before I had even approached her, a pickpocket stole her pure and ran off . As it happened , a wide –awake police constable had witnessed the incident , quickly caught the man and returned the purse to my wife. With a firm grip on the thief, the policeman turned to me and said, “You must also come along to the police station.” I pointed out to him that as we had recovered the purse, we were quite satisfied, but he protested and said “ This sort of thing is happening frequently , you must come and make a charge.” 

I went along to the police station and sat there for more than an hour without anything being done. I told the inspector, “ I am not concerned with this, and you can also keep the purse- I am going.” He took my statement at once , and eventually I had to go court . It was the first time I had ever stepped into a courtroom. While waiting for the proceedings to start, the inspector remarked to me, “ Justice must be done.” I told him, brother, along with justice, there should also be compassion; both should go side by side. With justice the heart remains affected, but compassion washes a way all impurities.” When the judge had heard the case, I said, “your honor, if you can find a way of releasing this man, I have no objection.” The judge was surprised, but he asked about the police about the mans previous records, and was told that no charges were recorded against him. The judge agreed to let him go with a good warning and he was released. That man returned to his family with a happy heart; he went around telling people, “If he had not saved me, I would now be prison.”

Throughout Hazur’s lifetime, he left no stone unturned for reforming and improving the angle of vision of the masses. In spite of His attaining the age of 90, he set aside all his bodily comforts and stubbornly devoted 18 out of 24 hours of the day in the service of humanity and thus afforded spiritual satisfaction to every aspirant both publicly and in seclusion.

physical structure composed of flesh, blood and bones, like any machinery can only work up to a limited extent. The result of this carelessness toward his bodily rest, and consistent hard labor, came to be that His physical framework could not endure the burden of weariness anymore; and on continued requests and entreaties from almost every individual , Hazur yielded to their prayers and was inclined to take rest and seek medical advice. Accordingly in September 1947, he came to Amritsar for medical treatment; but before leaving the Dera (Dera Baba Jaimal Singh in Beas, Hazur’s Headquarters) a managing committee for management of Dera affairs was constituted there.

His health improved a little at Amritsar, but became worse on October 4, 1947, at 7 o’clock, he called me. when I was present in His august presence, he said, “Kirpal Singh! I have allotted all other work but have not entrusted my task of Naam-Initiation and spiritual work to anyone. That I confer on you today so that this holy sacred science may flourish.”

Hearing this, my eyes were filled with tears, and afflicted as I was, I beseeched: “Hazur! The peace and security that I have in sitting at thy feet here cannot be had in higher planes..” My heart was filled with anguish, I could not speak any more and sat staring – Hazur encouraging and caressing me all the time.

After this whenever I had the honor to be in seclusion with Hazur, he talked about the interior affairs of Dera and instructed me how to act when He departed forever. 

During the days of His confinement on the bed of sickness ( in the last days of February, 1948) one day Hazur inquired: “How many souls have been initiated by me?”

Registers were consulted and after counting was finished, Hazur was replied, “Up to now, about 150,000 souls have been awakened by Hazur.” Hazur said, “All right.”

The same day in the evening when I was with him, Hazur said:
“Kirpal Singh! I have done half of your work and have given Naam to over one and a half lakhs persons; and the rest you have to accomplish.”

I, with folded hands and faltering words, said: “Hazur….it will be as Hazur orders……but…….I have a request………I wish that this last half of the work may also be finished by Hazur…..we will dance as Hazur will make us Dance…..I wish Hazur may remain with us and sit only watching and all orders will be complied with in Hazur’s presence.”

Hazur silently lay gazing at me.

In those very days, one night Hazur, mentioning His inner esoteric experiences, remarked:
“The sun has risen high. Can the people of Jullunder also see this sun?”

The relatives and friends sitting nearby were ignorant of this secret expression. The opinion of the doctor in charge was also, like other beside Him, that Hazurs brain was not working properly on account of his illness.

A little later, at night when I went to him, Hazur repeated the same question, addressing me:
“Kirpal Singh! The sun has risen high. Can the people of Jullunder also see this sun?”

I replied, “Yes, Hazur, the sun has risen high – and not only the people of Jullunder, but also those living in England or America who will traverse to inner planes can see this sun.”

Hazur said, “You have correctly answered my question.”

Again one day the Master spoke thus:
“I am not tied to one or any particular place. The Saints who come commissioned from above tell the world of the true path, and those who come seeking true knowledge are informed of the way to meet God . worldly people in order to meet their worldly needs gather round them and use them as a means of earning a livelihood . when such wealth is accumulated in abundance, a number out of them turn out to be worshippers of Mammon, whose lust can never be satisfied. When such circumstances are created, Saints withdraw from such a place. The souls of sincere seekers after Truth cannot get any solace from such a place. Such places then become the seat of mahants and gaddi-nashins. True Saints are not fastened to any religious sect or dress. They are free personalities. They are neither a party to one not a foe to the other. They impart the true lesson as to how to reach God. those who apply themselves to the spiritual practices in their company will succeed while the others who keep aloof and far away from them remain unlucky.”

On another occasion, Hazur said : “Kirpal Singh ! The people will flock to the place where they will find the riches of Naam. What have you to gain from Dera ? You better leave Dera. When Baba Ji came from Agra,* he brought with him neither money nor followers. He fetched within Him only His Guru, and through His blessing the present Dera came into existence….
Keep on impressing the need of spiritual practices on the need of spiritual practices on the entire sangat (following ) and go on doing Satsang . The souls are getting help from within and will continue to get it. You obey the orders of your Guru . If an obedient wife acts according to the people call her bad names , let them do so . You have to carry on the mission under the orders of your Master . Do not care if Mrs. . Grundy grunts. Tell everybody to do abhyas fondly and invert within to reach the astral form of the Master.”
Thereafter, whenever during Hazur’s lifetime I had an opportunity to go to Him , He talked on the subject of propagating spirituality and gave necessary instructions regarding its real shape , significance and basic fundamentals. 
Consequently , during Hazur’s lifetime and in sitrict conformity with His wishes, in November 1947 , a proposal for “ spiritual Satsang” was laid before Him, the main objects of which were solely the ethical and spiritual benefit of mankind in general ,irrespective of caste, color or creed. This was heartily appreciated by Hazur, who said: “I’m wholly and solely at one with thee in this endeavor,” and directed me to give practical shape to the scheme. It is therefore due to his blessing alone that Ruhani Satsang (i.e. spiritual Satsang) today is working successfully in and outside. The sole objective of this Satsang is to present spirituality to mankind in general in a lucid scientific form. The subjects of purification, knowledge of self, and knowledge of God are being dealt with practically so that people of different castes and creeds – living in their own circles – are being benefited thereby. Old followers (those initiated by Hazur) as well as new ones are deriving benefit from this science and every day’s spiritual experience of both of them plainly show that Hazur Maharaj sahib is helping them with His hidden Hand far more forcefully than ever. 

Such ever-living personalities are personified specimens of self-sacrifice. Even during His confinement to bed – not caring for His tender health – Hazur continued to quench the thirst of those thirsty for spiritual guidance and teachings. Besides the outer help there was inner guidance also, to its fullest extent. Such Master souls are mere human beings to our eyes but in reality are the unseen supreme Power, clothed in body, that works unfettered Beyond the limits of the body also.

During Hazur’s illness, when he was unable to change his sides unaided, many strange incidents came to light. even then He helped individuals outwardly as well as guided them on higher spiritual planes.

In the opinion of the doctors, he was suffering from tumor of the bladder. All possible medical aid was rendered but to no avail.

The subject of the illness of Saints is perplexing. The fact of it is this illness of Hazur was the result of the weight of our Karmic debts, of the deeply heaved sighs and tears of those afflicted amongst us.

Our dealing of Saints also get the best example of exalted human standard of living and character. They voluntarily take upon themselves the burden of their own initiated soul without a murmur or word of complaint, and this becomes their usual task.

Every day Hazur grew weaker and weaken in the body, from the night of March 29, 1948, to the morning of April 1, unusual restlessness and visible “fluttering” was seen visiting His physical frame. This symptom was also created for putting to test those surrounding Him.

Throughout the period of His illness, Hazur said many times: “If a person proficient in Bhajan and Simran sits by me, I feel comforted and relieved. Therefore those who come to me or sit near me should do Simran.” 

Accordingly, at the time of appearance of this symptom of fluttering of the body. Hazur again spoke several times in these words:

“If the person who has to do the work of spirituality after I depart, comes and sits by me, my trouble will be gone.”

To comply with this (evidently the last wish of Hazur came and sat in the Bhajan and Simran one by one, by Hazur’s bed – side, but there was no relief whatever in the fluttering symptom of Hazur’s body.

On the morning of April 1, 1948, it was extremely benevolent of Hazur to afford a chance to this humble servant – of course through the assistance of a lady in nursing service of Hazur – to be by the side of the Master, in seclusion, for about ten or fifteen minutes. At that time with a heavy heart I sat near his bed and prayed to Hazur:
“Master ! Thou art above body and bodily influences , unconcerned with comforts and helpless beings are afflicted hard and cannot endure the sight of Hazur’s thus suffering bodily. Thou hast all powers. We would be extremely grateful if Hazur very graciously removes this indication of disease on His body.” 
It is true that prayer succeeds where all other human efforts fail . Hazur with His utmost benevolence accepted this prayer. 
After the prayer, when I opened my eyes , Hazur’s body was in a state of perfect repose. Hazur’s forehead was shining resplendently. He opened his mercies showering lovely eyes intoxicated in God divine love and caste a glance at my humble self, both eyes gleaming with radiance like a Lions eye. I bowed my head in solemn and silent adoration and said; “it is all Hazur’s own benignity.”

Hazur kept steadily gazing for three or four minutes into my eyes, and my eyes, in solemn wonder, experienced and indescribable delight which infused a beverage like intoxication down to the remotest pores of my entire body – such as was never before experienced in my whole life. Then those mercies showering eyes closed, and not to open again. 

Thus in his ninetieth year, on the morning of April 2nd, 1948 at 8.30, this brilliant sun of spirituality, after diffusing his light of in the hearts of millions of his children, disappeared to rest below the horizon at Dera Baba Jaimal Singh. 

This untimely passing away of our beloved Master was an irreparable loss… for all of us who received benefit from the … existence of His August self … but those who during his life time, restricted their intercourse with that emperor of Saints to the physical plane envy, and never witnessed his glory and greatness on the astral and other inner planes with their own eyes, are feeling the poignant pangs of separation the most. Those, however, who had a good fortune to meet him on inner planes while he was in the physical body are comparatively less tormented, for they can even now rise at will to that mightiest of the mightiest and seek solace by talking to him. Blessed indeed are such souls, because through them are still communicated the requests and messages of other disciples and adhyasis to Hazur and in response Hazur orders to them.

Though Hazur has separated from us physically yet in reality he is not far away. That Power is immortal and indestructible and is still is supervising the actions and guiding those initiated by him …. 

It is therefore clear that for those approximately 150000 initiated by Hazur, the guiding Master in Hazur himself. Consequently all this should engage themselves in Bhajan and Simran with full faith, confidence, trust and Dhyan of Hazur alone. All this shall be looked ultimately by the same form of Hazur. That immortal messenger of our future betterment is continuously watching and superintending us each moment. Many disciples of Hazur are getting his darshan within, and those who are thus blessed are mitigating their sorrows by talking – far more freely than ever before – face to face with him. We too, if we divert our attention from this mortal world and worldly connections and turn to him, then Hazur with his illimitable kindness will – and there is no doubt about it – appear to bestow His darshan and, and enveloping us in the circle of his radiance, take us along to place us at the feet of long loved Lord.

Dear children,

On this auspicious day of the blessed memory of my Master Baba Sawan Singh Maharaj, I send my hearty message.

You have been put on the broad way back to God. if you want to develop on the way of new life, you should be broad minded and not intolerant. You should not behave like a frog in the well. But give your hand of fellowship to all working for the common cause of the Master and rise above petty considerations to the heights of life through the Power of inner silence brought about by Meditation. Try to dive deep into the depths of the hearts, and avoid superficial life. This can only be activated by love selfless service and sacrifice for the higher purpose of life. A dedicated life knows no burdens or sufferings. He lives for God’s work and as such leads a life of detachment. 

There are two ways – one leading to life and the other to destruction; called sharey marg and Piray marg. Piray marg relates to objective life and appears all beautiful and easy to follow and it results in hatred and male violence, rigid ideology and obsessive self. The way of Shary marg lies in developing inner silence, which is harder to find. It is an uphill task and takes hard work of mind and body and purification of spirit. 

When you will become broadminded and have risen to the heights of life by sacrificing everything, you will find a vision of the Lord working in alike, in Saints and sinners, in all men and in all creations, in all birds and beasts, in all religions, in all scriptures, and in all prophets.

In silence we test ourselves to find weakness to be weeded out. we have to wrestle with darkness and develop moral muscles and receive the message of the spirit. We must be for sometime at least alone with God. when we enter more and more into silence our desires will be eliminated, purity will be attained and the body and the mind sanctified, and we taste the Exlir of Naam divine and know how sweet the name is. 

In silence the heart illumines; veil after veil is removed. In the heart shineth the Light and the very silence becomes vocal giving vent to the music of the spheres reverberating in all creations. When the Light is seen shining within your heart and the music of the spheres becomes audible, you behold the Light in all that is, outside you see the one Light in all. This is the universal vision that the one is in all and all are in one. Blessed is he, a man of illumination, for the wherever he dwelleth with the one eternal.

February 6, 1971 was the Master’s 77th birthday. In Sawan Ashram and in near by open space, huge awnings was erected to provide extra shelter and accommodate the thousands of people, some of whom have traveled two days to reach there. The two most beautiful multi colored awnings, one in the center of the ashram and the other some hundred meters distant, were artistically decorated with flowers and laid out with simple carpets for seating. 

The program began on the morning of the 5th with satsang including hyms of praise to God in the Hindi language, religious music, and talks by various speaker extolling the greatness of God and living Master, all of which captured the hearts of 30,000 people gathered under the awnings.

The Master's followers from the West – initiates from Canada, Germany, the united states, England – could not fully understand either the talks or the hyms but sat deeply moved, with full concentrated attention, hour after hour. They were permitted to sit near the front, very close to the Master, along with other Indian initiates. Thus for two days they enjoyed the benefit of the darshan lasting many hours, receiving the love charged glance of the Master from the closest proximity. 

Despite the many speakers, the highlights of the program were of course the Master's own talks, delivered simply and sincerely in hindi. The faces of people reflected the penetrations of his words to the depth of the soul, confirmed by occasional ears, murmurs of wonder, gestures of approval. It was the God in man speaking – competent to reach to the roots of human existence.

On the Birthday itself the celebrations started just before dawn at 4 am. The scene consisted of thousands of tiny red lights, flickering in network and forming outlines of the Master house and garden. Within the covered porch the flowers decorations had been executed tastefully and carefully – an expression of love and devotions from the Master's followers. Those who approached him with personal tokens of garlands or bouquets were met with gracious refusal and found themselves the recipient of the flowery offerings, blessed by his own hands; while he himself remained unadorned, in his usual simple cloths. His adornment is the divine radiation.

On the following day, the western followers were allowed to witness the initiation of more than six hundred souls –an unforgettable experience. When, under the Master guidance, the people repeated the holy charged words, the atmosphere became )and it was so strong that it was felt physically) increasingly more uplifting, sweeping everyone present into a sea of charged Power and carrying the dear awaiting souls to the inner Light. 

Within this atmosphere we all sat for a long period of meditation; to many western disciples it seemed like a second initiation, so strongly did the Master Power take hold of them.

When it was asked who had seen the radiant form of the Master within, more than two hundred people indicated assent. One ladys experience went deeper; she lay there, outwardly appearing as if quietly sleeping, but it was not sleep: she had risen above the body consciousness and had left the body completely. Many hours after the initiation was over, she was still in this state of samadhi; when the Master was asked if she should be drought back to normal consciousness, he replied, “leave her, she is well blessed.”

Many had seen the golden sunlight during their meditation, and a number of others saw the big star inside. Among the large number present, fifteen or so had not seen anything and were placed in a separate room for another sitting to insure contact with the divine Light, while the initiation continued. 

The Master was delighted with these results, and for the observing group of westerners, such a demonstration of power was hardly comprehensible. The following evening, while giving darshan, the Master remarked on the large number of fortunate souls that had been rejoined to the God-into-expression Power. In spite of the packed celebration program, he graciously continued the daily blessing of darshan, so that his glance of love might bless each soul and that anyone might ask any pressing question and hear his wise and sweet comments, filled with life.

When the attentions goes in newly and sees the Light, it cannot behold it long it is not used to it. it cannot stand the glare, so to say. By and by, as it become Powerful, it will have the capacity to face the Light and then pierce it. 

The stage of the inward journey that you are crossing now takes rather a long time. that is the transition stage. Spirit is accustomed to stay out and you are forcing it within. The spirit is permitting in every part of the body. It takes time to collect it. when this stage is crossed the path Beyond is easy; purified spirit is attracted by the magnetic music within…

When you have crossed this sky, you’ll meet the Masters astral form. This appear to be coming and going, but in reality it is not. It is the mind that shakes. When this form will stay, fix your attention on his face so much that you forget whether he is you or you are he. When there is so much Concentration he will talk to you, answer all your questions, and shall be always with you and will guide(lead you) onward to the next step, showing innumerable senses of the astral plane on the way…

In time it will require effort to bring the attention out from the focus to carry on the functions in this world. We are out to conquer the mind – the mind that governs the world - - - - study the intelligent man. Is he at peace? Does he know rest? No body is happy. We are fighting a powerful enemy.

One day the satsang was going home after Satsang. Two or three ladies or five or six men said to me, “Bibi Ji, we have come for Darshan “Please let us see Hazur.” I said, “Hazur will certainly grace you.” The mean time Hazur DinDayal having giving darshan to the sangath and finished his work outside, was going upstairs to take food. I brought these loving souls before him.

Hazur asked, “you are supposed to go?” they said, “yes, Hazur, please keep us in your protection.” Hazur went inside laughing and the thought came to mind that Hazur did not speak much with them. I also went inside.

With great love I asked “Hazur, true king, is your grace becoming less?”

“See here, Kaki! There is much grace but no one takes it.”

with all modesty I said, “true king the grace of the Saints is also unpleasant to some.”

Hazur said, “whenever I go bringing grace to the people houses, they don’t take any.” I asked out of ignorance, “when do you?” Hazur Ji said, “At night from 2 until 6 in the early morning I go from house to house carrying a love of basket of love and compassion. Very few fortunate once take any. When I return, it is still full.” I said, “Hazur, what is the reason for this?”

Hazur said, “Kaki, some are sleeping, some are just engaging in worldly pleasures some fall asleep while doing Bhajan. Those devotees who sit for Bhajan get the grace. I give to them and what is left I bring back.”

I said, “true king, what you say I absolutely true. We people are foolish. The Satguru certainly gives compassion. We worthless ones do not accept it.”

He said, “when Saints come the people do not give respect; when they leave then the people cry. What is to be done?”
