Baba Ji. Bhai Kaka Singh Ji entered and with intense emotion love bowed in
reverence to Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj and then went over to Baba Ji and
upon seeing them he fell at their lotus feet crying, as he was the one who had given
him this gift to be one with his beloved Lord.
As his emotions took over, Baba Ji gently lifted his head and said, “Guru’s beloved!
Control your tears and emotions.” With Baba Ji’s words he managed to grasp hold of
his emotions and sat up placing a gift at Baba Ji’s feet which was ten percent from his
earnings. Baba Ji sat him next to himself as the rest of the accompanying
congregation paid their respects also. Now within this group of devotees there was a
beloved Muslim soul whose family was from Kandahar and everyone referred to him
as Meeya Kandari. When he greeted Baba Ji he placed a gift of a woolen rug that he
himself had made, he was a loving soul who had a lot of faith in the Sikh Guru’s as
his ancestors had once been blessed by Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj. Baba Ji
knew his genuine love and took this gift into their hands and placed it on their laps
and also sat him near by and blessed him with beautiful words. This rug was always
kept very close by Baba Ji as it was a beautiful gift given by a beautiful soul. After the
day’s program ended, Baba Ji was taken back with great respect to their hut and the
congregation was sent back to the Hoti camp.
On the next day Baba Ji had arrived for the daily congregation where Baba Ji would
give his presents to the devotees and listened to all their problems and wishes. Finally

knower of all hearts and my daughter has reached a marriageable age, I wish with
your blessing to do her engagement in a respectable Gursikh family household, who
are also your devotees.” Baba Ji listen carefully and then closed their eyes and went
quiet.
Panna 748: Your Saints are very fortunate; their homes are filled with the wealth of
the Lord's Name.
Panna 396: How very fortunate are those who have the wealth of the Lord deep
within the heart.
Now there sitting also in the congregation was a Sikh boy by the name of Chabeel
Singh who had come with his mother. Baba Ji opened his eyes and asked Bhai Kaka
Singh Ji whilst looking over at Chabeel Singh. “Is this boy a suitable match?” Bhai
Kaka Singh Ji put his hands together and with his head down replied, “Maharaj! On
whose your eye’s fall upon who am I to hesitate.” At that moment Baba Ji called the
boys mother over and put 1 rupee and twenty five paise and some raw sugar (Gurr)
into her hands and congratulated her with these words saying, “Lady! Your son’s
engagement is with Bhai Kaka Singh Ji’s daughter.”
Then Baba Ji asked both the families to return on the night of the full moon as that
would be when their marriage would be done. The mother of the boy Bheema folded
her hands in front of Baba Ji and said, “Maharaj Ji! I am very poor and I don’t have
the money to match the status of such a family.” Referring to any expectation that
they may have regarding wedding celebrations. Baba Ji replied, “Lady! You are very
