PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

Baba Ji fulfilled their wish and showered them with blessings as all these souls had a
lot of faith. Baba Ji also gave them words of enlightenment saying, “Beloveds! A
doctor’s medicine only works when one takes it, by being careful and following the
instructions, as with out following the instructions ones illness or disease is not cured
and one will always blame the doctor. So in this way the Lords name is the medicine
and the Lords beloved Saints are doctors and all the people are patients with the
disease of ego.
Using this medicine one becomes pure and cleansed just by following some
guidelines, such as meat, alcohol; stealing and other bad things must be avoided.”
Now a few beloved by the names of Bhai Gulab Singh Ji, Sukhdyaal Mal Ganga Ram
and Bhai Ram Sharan, replied saying, “Maharaj Ji! But we all live and work out in
Bengal, Calcutta as contractors. And the water is very bad there, especially in Calcutta
and if we don’t eat meat and fish, our body would deteriorate with illness and
disease.”
Baba Ji replied saying, “This is it! Ones mind thinks what is good or bad, but now you
are in Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s shelter and so you have nothing to worry about.
Meditate on the Lords name and you will never be ill. For extra prevention you may
also do this! Buy some black chick peas and boil them, put some butter in and make it
into a vegetarian dish and see how nice it comes out. You’ll totally forget the taste of
fish and meat as it doesn’t even compare. But if the water still effects your health take
5 to 7 lime leaves, some almonds and black pepper and grinding them down, then
dilute the mixture in water then drink it and your body will stay free of disease and
strong, and Guru Ji will after you.”
Listening to Baba Ji’s words they all took leave. Those who worked in Bengal
returned back and by following Baba Ji’s instructions their bodies stayed strong and
fit. Due to which they influenced other Punjabis in Calcutta also to give up meat etc.
So with Baba Ji’s blessings they and many others began to walk on the path of truth
and meditated on the Guru’s mantra and made their life on earth and in the world
beyond successful.
One light and two bodies
In the area of Mardan in between the villages of Lahore and Jilsee stood a large
mountain where a Muslim Saint lived, a Student of Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj.
Within this area Ragi Lal Singh Ji also did served occasionally as a Sikh Priest. At
one time Ragi Lal Singh Ji came into one of these villages to perform a marriage
ceremony, but accompanied by Golak Chand and a few other devotees, they went to
meet this Saint for his vision.
On reaching the top of this mountain they met this tall figured Saint, his face was
bright and glowing red, with a long flowing white beard. The hair on his head was
white and flowed down beyond his shoulders and he lived here alone in his own
spiritual bliss. Everyone bowed humbly to him and he blessed them sweetly. He then
asked Ragi Lal Singh Ji if he lived in Lahore. Saying that a Bhai Javahar Singh Ji had
informed him of Ragi Lal Singh Ji’s ability of singing the Guru’s hymns. He then
asked him to do perform some Gurus hymns. At that time one of the devotees went
