cry and told them of the whole episode, asking Baba Ji to please save his honour.
Baba Ji’s nature was always forgiving and compassion and said, “Go! Guru Nanak
Sahib Ji will be compassionate, and until the day of the case keep repeating this
prayer and the case will be dropped.”
Panna 201: Remain steady in the home of your own self, O beloved servant of the
Lord.
Listening to Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj’s words, Gopal Singh’s eyes again
welled up with tears of love for Baba Ji and humbly bowing down he took leave,
repeating the prayer all the way home. The day before the case he went to meet the
Judge and told him the whole story, still repeating the Gurus prayer. On the final day
of the trial, he repeated the prayer twenty nine times and then made a humble request
in his heart asking Baba Ji for their help, then made his way to Court. When he was
called in he continued to repeat the prayer from Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj and
went in front of the Judge, with Baba Ji’s blessing and with the Gurus words on his
lips and in his heart he stood silently. Then the Judge gave his judgment, that he had
been so moved with the appeal that Gopal had made, saying that Gopal Singh was a
respectable and innocent man and did not commit this crime intentionally instead the
age was written incorrectly unintentionally and the Court forgive him. So amazed was
Gopal Singh that he first ran back to the camp and placed a gift of some money at
Baba Ji’s feet and then placing his head on their feet and thanked them for protecting
their honour. With blessing and permission from Baba Ji he got a complete recital of
Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj (Akhand Paath Sahib) done.
Bhai Jairam Singh Ji
A resident of Hoti , Bhai Jai Ram Singh Ji was a faithful devotee of Baba Ji’s and
many a time he would come to the camp with his family and help do selfless service,
from sweeping the floors to washing the dishes, in this way over time he became
coloured in the True Lords love. One evening as it was getting dark he was standing
on the banks of Kalpani just finishing washing a very large iron vessel which took
two people to carry. Knowing he couldn’t carry it back himself he was awaiting
someone to come and help. But looking around he couldn’t see or find anyone to help,
finally after sometime of waiting, within his heart he began asking Baba Ji to send a
person from the camp to help him.
Baba Ji was the knower of all hearts as whilst Jai Ram Ji was still doing his prayer, an
old man wrapped in a black blanket came from nowhere, the figure was
unrecognizable because of the darkness. The man came in front and then stopped and
in a strange voice asked, “Why Singha! What’s the matter? Why are you standing
here by yourself?” Bhai Jai Ram Ji replied “Baba Ji!” replying to the old man in
respect, “I’m waiting for someone from the camp to come and help me with this
vessel to take it back to the kitchen, as it is too heavy for me alone.” Now this old
figure was Dhan Guru Nanak Ji Maharaj’s true beloved servant, Baba Karam Singh Ji
Maharaj himself.
