tightly and at that moment in the love for this sweet beloved Lords servant, Baba Ji
uttered the words, “Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj! Who with his scent made
such sandlewood trees and created such detached priceless individuals.”
In this world our wants are for family or follower, fame and honour. But great are
those souls like Sant Attar Singh Ji Maharaj who wish for nothing except the love of
his beloved Lord.
Baba Ji pleased said, "Dear brother! You will spend your every moment in meditation
as the rare and special philosophers stone changes metal into gold but Baba Karam
Singh Maharaj has made you into the philosophers stone it self and the vision of such
a Saint is priceless. Dhan Sant Ji! Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj!” So
continuing with their conversation they were accompanied by the devotees back to the
Reru Sahib Temple, were after their meal they rested for the night.
Twice a day the congregation would gather in which the wishes of the devotees were
fulfilled, with devotees traveling from distance places to have the vision of such
priceless gems. At one time the devotees were so huge in numbers that two disciples
had been put on duty to give out the blessed sugar cakes. These were kept in baskets
by Baba Ji which they would touch and then were given out to the devotees as blessed
food.
On one occasion they had nearly finished. The disciples made a request to Baba Ji
saying, “Maharaj Ji! Please look over this way the sugar cakes are about to finish.” At
which point Baba Ji took one of the small sugar cakes into his hand and then reciting
a small prayer crushed it and sprinkled it over the remaining sugar cakes. And as
everyone watched, to their amazement that very same basket of sugar cakes never
finished, even though the numbers of devotees continued in the same way.
So in this way for three days they blessed the devotees of this area, after which they
prepared to return to Hoti. Baba Attar Singh Ji Maharaj asked Baba Ji to say a little
longer, but Baba Ji lovingly explained, “We have been away from Hoti for quite
sometime and the devotees are awaiting my return. Plus that also is your place too,
which you have blessed me to serve, as you are always with me.”
Baba Ji then gave Sant Attar Singh Ji Maharaj a robe of honour, whilst from Reru
Sahib, gifts of robes and money were given to Baba Ji and also to the Ragi’s singers.
They accompanied Baba Ji and those traveling with him, in the same loving way back
to the railway station. Where with tears in their eyes Sant Baba Attar Singh Ji Maharaj
and the devotees of Reru Sahib bid farewell to Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj.
Dhan Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj!
Dhan Baba Attar Singh Ji Maharaj!
