the way that Bhai Kukoo Ji had spoken complained to Baba Ji, saying that this Sikh
was making a joke of his knowledge.
Baba Aaya Singh Ji Maharaj explained saying, “Pandit Ji! Don’t worry; he is a
humble detached Sikh of the True Lords, they tend to have very high spiritual reach.
Just as once during the time of the Sixth Guru, Dhan Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji
Maharaj Ji, Bhai Nihaal Ji and Bhai Maiya Ji and a couple of other Sikhs went into a
discussion on this same topic. One said he could reach the Lords court of judgment
(Dharam Raja) in twelve hours the other said six hours, the third said three hours and
lastly the fourth said it would only take him a minute. That’s when Guru Maharaj Ji
explained to Pandit Nita Nand that this discourse was referring to everyday people
who relied on good and bad deed for their Judgment, for whom it takes a year before
reaching the Court of Dharam Raja were they are judged on their merits.
Panna 1414: The charity and generosity he pretends to give will be judged by the
Righteous Judge of Dharma.
As people with bad deeds are given punishment on route for that year while others
who have good deeds are helped through their journey to the court of the Lord. As

and became a Guru’s Sikh, and he also reached the spiritual stage that the others
Sikh’s were at. So in this way what this simple Sikh says is correct as he knows of
this spiritual stage.”
After this explanation the Pandit made a request saying, “Maharaj Ji! Please show this
to me through my own eyes.”
Baba Ji turned to Bhai Kukoo Ji and said, “Take Pandit Ji with you and show him as
he wishes.” Bhai Kukoo Ji obeying Baba Ji’s words closed his eyes and held Pandit
Ji’s hand. And in that very minute took him to the Court of Judgment where Dharam
Raja serves. Dharam Raja on seeing them stood up and thanked them humbly saying
they had purified his court with their presence.
Panna 1425: Meditating on the Naam, O friend, the treasure of life is won.
O Nanak, speaking in Righteousness, one's world becomes sanctified. ||10||
Presenting them both with garlands of flowers Dharma Raja said to them, “Great are
the Guru Ji’s beloved Sikhs! As you have given me your sweet vision today.” And
explained to the Pandit of how fortunate he was to meet a complete beloved Saint of
the Lords and of having the opportunity to see the Lords court. And told to him that if
