Baba Ji’s calling from Sachkhand
At the age of 74, Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj received his calling from the Creator
to return to Sachkhand. They had helped many hundreds of thousands of souls who
had lost their way and putting them back in the direction of the true love of the one
only Lord.
Now one week before their departure to be, all the congregation of the area was called
together and Baba Ji said the following sweet words. “Dear congregation! In this
world who ever comes in the form of a physical body, has in time had to leave, as
death comes to the rich, poor, to Kings, the good and bad also even to the idiot and
intelligent, as to death everyone is the same, one is born to die.
Panna 936: Neither the kings nor the nobles will remain; neither the rich nor the poor
will remain. When one's turn comes, no one can stay here.
I also walk in my Kings will.
Panna 1239: Those who are sent, come, O Nanak; when they are called back, they
depart and go. ||1||
I wish to free myself from this body to enjoy the sweet bliss of the true Lord, so
Guru’s beloved! With a happy heart sing his praises and work together to run this
camp and no one should mourn my going.”
Listening to these true but painful words the devotees hearts sank as such a priceless
gem within India was to depart in which the pain would be felt throughout the land.
The pain that your love is to depart and the pain of this separation would be felt by
those true beloved devotees.
Those who truly feel pain of separation are the ones who will know anothers pain of
loss.
Panna 327: He alone knows it, who feels the pain of such love;
Otherwise what would one know of another’s pain?
Panna 836: The pain of my mind is known only to my own mind; who can know the
pain of another? ||1||
The congregation knowing what was to come began to cry as many were unable to
hold back their emotions. The congregation humbly requested, “O King of the King!
Without you who else is there of ours, in this evil land. It’s only through your
compassion, that these evil Pathaans have been converted into angels in turn saving us
from them. Turning hawks into birds making tigers crawl in front of sheep and
controlling them. Please bless us with a little more of your time, as coming and going
on this earth is all within your hands. Guru Ji himself has said that a Complete Saint
never dies, just as the hot rays of the sun having compassion for those suffering souls
sends clouds of rain to quench their thirst but again the rains of compassion return
back to the skies. In this same way Saints and Avtars take human form to do good on
this earth, but not fulfilling time on this earth because of previous deeds or karams
like us humans.
