PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

everyday. The trader tried to explain to his wife and win her over but she was
adamant on changing things. The trader said to his wife that if it bothers you that
much, what if I was to stop the poor labourer from eating good food and get him to
change his ways? She wondered how her husband could do this! She began asking
him what kind of magic he knew where he could do this. The husband told her to just
watch the change and she accepted his offer as anything was better than seeing this
poor labourer living better then them. The trader took ninety five rupees and rapped
them in an old cloth and threw it over into the labourer's house. The next morning
when the labourer found the cloth with this money in it, he was over the moon. He
showed it to his wife saying that, look Allah in happiness had given them this ninety
five rupees only five less then one hundred rupees, so if we save and add another five
we could make it into one hundred and then place it to the ground for a rainy day.
Now from this day on the labourer stopped eating good food instead cutting back on
expenditure and began saving a little more each day, first topping the ninety five to
one hundred, but then a little more and then more and more. One day the trader asked
the labourer if everything was ok, as he hadn’t smelt any good food been cooked for
awhile? The labourer replied saying that what could he say there’s not much work
these days, and we just about have enough to feed ourselves. The trader said to his
own wife, see this is the magic of ninety five rupees.”
So in this way Baba Ji explain to Santa Singh, that if you begin to think like the
labourer all the good eating and living will disappear and you’ll fall into the trap of
the ninety five rupees situation, so you should stay fulfilled with the way you are.
Listening to Baba Ji’s wise words, Santa Singh was hit hard and realized his good
fortune and with hands folded asked for forgiveness and thanked Baba Ji for saving
him from the pain of getting trapped in worldly attachments.
Panna 39: There is no pain as great as the pain of Maya; it drives people to wander
all around the world, until they become exhausted.
Panna 717: O my mother, Maya is so misleading and deceptive.
Without meditating on the Lord of the Universe, it is like straw on fire, or the shadow
of a cloud, or the running of the flood-waters. ||Pause||
Panna 692: Children, spouse, wealth and Maya
who has ever obtained peace from these? ||3||
He also asked for the blessing of the Creators Name, Baba Ji on seeing his love and
faith blessed him with this gift. Santa Singh spent the rest of his days in Baba Karam
Singh Ji Maharaj’s company and never fell in to the lure of worldly attachments,
instead spiritually fulfilling his life.
Blessing on Rikhi Mool Raj
Rikhi Mool Raj had come for a vision of Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj after hearing
of the fame and greatness. He was a good soul with values and principles and was a
son of a khathri shopkeeper.
