Panna 143: their children may bring them back together in the world, and the bond is<br />

established.<br />

In this world without the sweet tasting fruit of a son all riches and wealth feel tasteless<br />

even though from a Saint one should only ask for the one true gift of the Lords name<br />

and spiritual knowledge.<br />

Panna 283: This merchandise, which you have come to obtain - the Lord's Name is<br />

obtained in the home of the Saints.<br />

But Maharaj we are worldly people, because of which we also have wishes for one<br />

thing or another and these things that a <strong>Sikh</strong> needs he should ask from the true giver<br />

of gifts.”<br />

Panna 610: Without the Saints, there are no other givers.<br />

Captain Jawala Singh Ji continued on by saying, “So Maharaj Ji, please have<br />

compassion on us and protect our honour as we have come to your door.” In this way<br />

the Subedar Rajput also made a request saying, “Giver of all! I am getting old and<br />

there’s only a short time before I get my pension, but in the darkness of my home<br />

there is no child to give it light to the extent where my home feels frightening. O<br />

King! Have pity on us poor men of yours please bless us with this gift.”<br />

met. ||2||<br />

In this way Baba Ji told the Rajput to keep faith on the ever pervading Lord and<br />

remember his name and that every week he should gather little children together,<br />

giving them sweets and that Guru Ji would also fulfill his wish blessing him with a<br />

son. Listening to these sweet words of wisdom from Baba Ji’s pure lips both the<br />

Captain and Subedar felt at peace. So thanking and paying their respects they took<br />

leave returning to their homes.<br />

This blessing was fulfilled as after a year, they both were blessed with sons and they<br />

took them to Baba Ji to be blessed. And so with never ending praise for Baba Ji they<br />

spent the rest of their lives as faithful devotees of Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji<br />

Maharaj.<br />

Vision of Hukumnama<br />

One afternoon Sant Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj had just finished bathing and sat<br />

down near his hut on the riverbanks.<br />

Because of it being a Sunday everything such as schools and offices etc were closed<br />

so all devotees, Soldiers, villagers and other spiritual souls from nearing villages had<br />
