PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

With hands folded he did benti saying, “Maharaj! It is only with your blessing that
one can unattach themselves from these.” He continued saying, “Please shower me
with your blessing, as I have read many Veds, Shastra and pondered over Upanishads
and practiced the writings of many sacred scriptures and text but non have bought me
peace, now I come to you so please bless me.”
Baba Ji replied, “Pandit Ji, until one practices it, just by studying one doesn’t get
spiritual knowledge as there are three types of knowledge, there are those who likened
to Bedi Pandit who at each moment wished to discuss, but if they lose to another more
intelligent individual they get upset and commit suicide.
Panna 954: The Pandit, the religious scholar, weeps when his learning is gone.
The second type is that who gains this knowledge but decides to gain material wealth
using it. But the third on gaining this gift is a pure complete Saint who keeping
humble helps others with it. Just as a tree which blossoms with flower, its branches
begin to bend down toward the earth in humbleness with the weight of the treasure.
Panna 344: On Monday, the Ambrosial Nectar trickles down from the moon.
Tasting it, all poisons are removed in an instant.
So complete Saints, receive divine rays from the Guru in the form of Amrit nectar
which is spiritual knowledge and becomes at peace, destroying all negativity and all
their studying becomes worthwhile.”
After listening to those enlightening words, Pandit Trilok Singh was overwhelmed as
he was shown the path to enlightenment and continued to stay on at Hoti and through
meditation of the Gurus mantra he found peace and made his spiritual studying
worthwhile by gaining sweet blessing from Guru Maharaj Ji.

As on a usual day the congregation was going ahead with the devotees coming for
Baba Ji beautiful vision, when a Soldier by the name of Santa Singh came in making
his way from Naushera. All knowing Baba Ji asked him, “What’s the matter? If you
have wishes ask?”
He replied telling Baba Ji of his problem, that what ever money he would make, it
would always disappear and nothing would be saved. Baba Ji asked him, “Do you
have a family?” He replied, “No I’m alone.” Baba Ji said, “Then who do you have to
save for? Whatever money you make, continue to eat and live it away, as saving it
becomes a burden so just use it up.”
Baba Ji continued to give an example by telling him a story saying, “There was once a
trader who lived next to a poor labourer. The labourer would spend away what ever he
earned in the day, by the evening and spend his night peacefully sleeping until the
next morning and do the same again the next day. Whilst the well to do trader would
save everything he earned and twice a day he would eat very simple food and spend
the night worrying about money. One day the trader’s wife said to him, look we have
so much money but we don’t eat good food, whilst our poor neighbour eats well
