PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

also to find out who had been blamed for it. But as they approached the camp what
did they see?
Panna 855: They do not come and go, and they never die; they remain with the
Supreme Lord God. ||3||
Panna 188: This soul is not perishable. ||3||
That beloved light of the Almighty Lord was being carried by his devotees in their
throne towards the camp with the congregation singing the Gurus hymns. The Pataans
were left totally gobsmacked and confused thinking that they had seen his body laying
in pieces dead, chopped limb from limb but now he is been carried in a throne
completely alive? Who was Baba Ji? But a complete beloved Saint of the Lord! And
so in shame and fear they approached Baba Ji, stopping their throne they greeted Baba
Ji and escorted them to the Hoti camp. The Knower of all hearts, Baba Ji on reaching
the camp instructed the disciples to give food to the congregation and for the Pataans
to be served with warm milk with food, adding that they must have been tired from
being awake all-night chasing shadows. No one else understood theses words except
Baba Ji and the Pataans and in shame these bandits realizing that Baba Karam Singh
Ji Maharaj was a beloved of Allahs, began to cry and begging for forgiveness for their
evil intentions.
With tears pouring down their faces they narrated the whole incident with their true
intentions to Baba Ji and the congregation saying, “O Allah! We came last night to
kill you but seeing your body limb from limb we though that someone had already
done so before us, so we had returned back today to see who was getting blamed, only
to find that you were completely alive. But now we understand that you are the Lords
man, please forgive us!” Baba Ji replied saying that the Creator is the one, who
forgives everyone, but from now on do good deeds help others, read namaz, keep rozi
and the Creator will forgive you as there is nothing to gain by doing bad deeds as it is
in his hands when one dies or is lives.
Panna 594: Other than the Lord, no one can kill or rejuvenate. O mind, do not be
anxious remain fearless.
Baba Ji continued saying that within the body nothing dies, neither the soul nor the
things that make up that body which are the 5 tatts (5 elements) when the body
dissolves it turns back into the 5 tatts , these never die. The rest of this falls on one
believing and trusting on true wisdom (gyaan) as living and dying is the same.
Panna 281: Nothing is born, and nothing dies. He Himself stages His own drama.
Panna 695: Nothing comes, and nothing goes; I pray to the Lord for Mercy.

After listening to Baba Ji’s sweet enlightening words the Pathaans fell at Baba Ji’s
feet, place the dust from around his feet on to their foreheads. And from that time
forward they became faithful devotees attending all the gathering at Hoti and serving
selflessly.
