them. Word spread and his shop became busier soon he became financially stable and
still he took out his 10% of earnings for charity and still continued to serve Baba Ji,
arriving at 2 am and helping Baba Ji carrying them on their throne. When daylight
would come around he would work in his shop and no matter what he stayed firm in
meditation and service. Within worldly situations he became a complete Guru’s
beloved, all due to Baba Ji’s sweet blessings and service.
But still in the Lord’s will, suffering comes to all according to ones karma’s whether a
worldly man or a Saint. The difference between the two is how one takes it. Whilst a
Lords beloved takes things as the Creators will the non-believer panic’s and suffers
with no faith.
So in this way Bhai Ganda Mal’s son became ill. His left leg from the foot upwards
became swollen, and trying all types of medicine with no results left the family
panicking and suffering, but Bhai Ganda Mal Ji was undisturbed and kept calm as he
had full faith in Baba Ji. He took his son to Baba Ji who was sitting on the riverbank
and bowed down in humbleness, he explained his predicament and in sweet request he
asked for them to bless the child. Baba Ji, who was always compassionate got hold of
some bamboo leaves and rubbed them on the boy’s leg and then sprinkled water over
it, then asked a disciple to get 24 seeds of black pepper ground down and then with
milk and ghee feed it to the boy. There in front of the congregation the skin on to the
boys toe popped and out oozed puss followed by blood and a shard of glass, the pain
that the boy was in subdued. Baba Ji also gave herbs which were mixed in mustard oil
and heated and placed on to the infection. Within eight days the boy was completely
cured and both father and son continued to come daily to serve Baba Ji’s.
Complete blessing on Bhai Kaka Singh Ji
Bhai Kaka Singh Ji was from Galaa Dher Nagar; he was a devotee, with a pure soul
and was a well respected shop owner in the village. One day he arrived in Baba Ji’s
presence and fell at their lotus feet and with great humility made a request saying,
“Maharaj! Please have pity on me and bless me with the Lord’s name, may my mind
constantly remain his presences so my human life may by spiritually complete.”
Baba Ji listened to his wish and looked deep inside of him revealing his pure yearning
of love for the Lord, and assessed on whether he would be able to handle such a gift.
As a Lords Saint even hesitates to give such gifts; one must be able to look after and
cope with the responsibility.
Panna 1365: The Treasure of the Lord is obtained, O Kabeer, but do not undo its
knot.
There is no market to sell it, no appraiser, no customer, and no price. ||23||
As first the Lord puts the devotee through service to cleanse the heart only then will
they bless him with the true gift of the Lords Name, just as a farmer first prepares his
farmland before he plants his seed in order to get a successful crop, but if the land is
not fertile the seeds are wasted. On the other hand if the ploughed land is left without
sowing the seed this land fills with weeds and unwanted growth.
