Chordry Khem Singh when to Baba Ram Singh Ji Maharaj and bowing humbly he
asked “Maharaj! May I take leave as I wish to go home?”
Sant Baba Ram Singh Ji Maharaj replied, “O beloved soul! Don’t go today we will
give you leave tomorrow.” But again with folded hands he asked, “Maharaj! I have
very important work, there are many places I have to be, please give me leave and I
will return again tomorrow.” Sant Baba Ram Singh Ji Maharaj replied, “Don’t go
today, I feel intense heat from your going.” (Sensing something wrong) But being
stubborn he said “Maharaj! We worldly folk are stuck in the world so I have to go
right now, as I have something important to attend to.”
Now complete Saints only give out hints that only some special individuals
understand, but never say what they mean outright. But Choudry Khem Singh
continued with his stubbornness and kept requesting leave, finally he didn’t listen and
paying his respects he took leave. Coming home he ate and took off his coat and
cloths and lay down to rest, leaving in his coat pocket some very important papers and
all his money. Whilst laying down he remembered something very important that
needed to be dealt with straight away. He was in so much of a hurry that getting dress
he forgot to put on his coat and ran out of the house.
He hastily made his way to the other side of town and completed the task which took
up most of the day, by now it was very late, so Khem Singh decided to stay there for
the night. Now in the early morning when he returned home, he saw a large crowd
shouting and panicking when he got closer he enquired about the commotion, the
villagers informed him that their was a large fire in the area which they had been
trying to put it out. In this fire some houses were totally burned down of which one
was his, in which all his valuables as well as his coat which held his important
documents and money was reduced to ashes.
People were crying and panicking as they had lost everything, spending that whole
night in misery and tears. With heart felt emotion and pain all these people arrived at
Hoti that morning in Baba Ji’s presence and told of the whole episode that had taken
place, saying that they had lost everything and asked Baba Ji to help them. Sant Baba
Ram Singh Ji Maharaj, who was still present compassionately explained to them,
“Beloveds! This is the wonderful Lords wishes he is fulfilling the ill doings of each
humans past karmas.”
Panna 329: He Himself is the fire, and He Himself is the wind.
When our Lord and Master wishes to burn someone, then who can save him? ||1||
“One should live in his will. “O sweet souls! Keep faith in the Creator who looks after
everyone, as it his wish to knock down your mud houses and replace them with solid
brick houses for you all. Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj is helping you, as money
for all of you is coming from England and Hoti will grow and prosper just like Delhi.”
Listening to these words and blessings of Sant Baba Ram Singh Ji Maharaj they found
comfort knowing that this would definitely come true. But all were amazed to hear
that the money would come from England, thinking to themselves who was it they
knew in England that was to send them money. Now after a very short span of time
