Now on one hand the mother was afraid of her husband but on the other was the wish
of having a son. Eventually she left the decision in Baba Ji’s hands with this thought
in her heart, “O Lord! Now you protect your own beloved’s honour.”
Panna 677: At home, and outside, I place my trust in You; You are always with Your
humble servant.
Giving her daughters the permission to go the three older daughters made their way to
Hoti in the company of Mela Singh. As all the devotees came and bowed in Baba Ji’s
presence so did the daughters, but as all the rest sat down they stayed standing with
folded hands. Now who ever goes to Guru Nanak Ji’s house with love and devotion
has their wish granted. It just so happened that one or two other devotees had asked
for the blessing of a son which Baba Ji granted lovingly, to which listening to the girls
became very emotional, with tears and innocence and love in their heart they began to
utter Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji! Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj.” Thinking to
themselves, that why didn’t they now of them earlier?
Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj seeing these innocence children in pain and tears asked
softly. “My children, what’s the matter why do you stand there crying?”
They sweetly replied, “Baba Ji just as you bless others, please bless us with a little

Baba Ji smiled and laughed lovingly and then with their compassionate nature they
said, “Guru Nanak Ji Maharaj will be compassionate, now ask your father not to
trouble the poor, but instead take their blessings as the Lord resides in them and their
happiness is His happiness. Now you may go, as from a year from now you shall have
a brother.”
With Baba Ji’s blessings all three sisters took leave and returned back home to their
mother and told her of this sweet gift.
Now a year later according to Baba Ji’s words a son was born into their family and in
joy and happiness charity was given. The father humbly came for Baba Ji’s sweet
vision and placed a gift at their feet and then bowed, Baba Ji instantly said one thing
to him which was:
Panna 1382: O river, do not destroy your banks; you too will be asked to give your
account.
With these words, even though the father had heard this prayer from Guru Granth
Sahib Ji Maharaj before, today with Baba Ji’s vision his heart became so soft and pure
that people wondered what was wrong with him. Where as before he never spoke
without swearing now he hardly spoke, whereas he troubled the poor he began to
protect them and look after them. As he came home he greeted everyone with love he
even spoke with respect to his servants. From this time on with Baba Ji’s loving
blessing his home became blissful as if like heaven.
