PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

Baba Ji again replied saying, “That’s fine, finish the program at 4pm but get the
serving of food underway as the congregation is hungry and those who are fasting can
eat after.” But still they did not obey Baba Ji’s words, so Baba Ji got up and left going
out to the outskirts of the village and sat near a well in the open fields with his
devotees and disciples. Straight after Baba Ji left the gathering all hell broke out and
people began pushing and shoving in the free kitchen, even fighting leaving some
getting food and others without going home hungry and upset. Some of the disciples
even climbed up the trees to calm down the crowds throwing down food to the angry
congregation but to no avail leaving many regretted coming to this gathering.
Sant Atma Singh Ji and his disciples realized that they were dealing with the
consequences of not obeying Baba Ji’s instructions. Meantime Baba Ji was sitting
near the well, belonged to one of his devotees, a Bhai Mitha Mal Ji, who took full
advantage of the opportunity and prepared food for Baba Ji and all his disciples and
devotees, serving them with respect and loving made a request saying, “O King of the
Poor! In this way please bless our food everyday.” Baba Ji very pleased with him

instantly fell at Baba Ji’s feet and begged for forgiveness. Baba Ji with compassion
replied saying that if you wished to do want you wanted then why did you go through
all the trouble of calling me, you wasted money and to no avail.
Panna 263: God abides upon the tongues of His Saints.
Baba Ji continued saying that there is only happiness in obeying a complete Saints
word and in not obeying it, there is pain and suffering.

In this way Baba Ji forgave them for their mistake and returned back to the Hoti
camp.

this came to the attention of a jealous individual who new the Gopal Singh had lied
about the age of his nephew and reported to the this Governmental organization which
resulted in case being filed against him of giving false information. When this was
