Sachkhand the Lords realm, leaving his vessel for the warmth of the Creators sweet<br />

arms. Dhan Sant Baba Lal Singh Ji Maharaj!<br />

The Ragi’s who had come began singing the Gurus sweet hymns with Baba Ji’s<br />

blessings.<br />

Panna 1000: Maaroo, Fifth Mohalla:<br />

Pride, emotional attachment, greed and corruption are gone; I have not placed<br />

anything else, other than the Lord, within my consciousness.<br />

I have purchased the jewel of the Naam and the Glorious Praises of the Lord; loading<br />

this merchandise, I have set out on my journey. ||1||<br />

The love which the Lord's servant feels for the Lord lasts forever.<br />

In my life, I served my Lord and Master, and as I depart, I keep Him enshrined in my<br />

consciousness. ||1||Pause||<br />

I have not turned my face away from my Lord and Master's Command.<br />

He fills my household with celestial peace and bliss; if He asks me to leave, I leave at<br />

once. ||2||<br />

When I am under the Lord's Command, I find even hunger pleasurable; I know no<br />

difference between sorrow and joy.<br />

Whatever the Command of my Lord and Master is, I bow my forehead and accept it.<br />

||3||<br />

The Lord and Master has become merciful to His servant; He has embellished both<br />

this world and the next.<br />

Blessed is that servant, and fruitful is his birth; O Nanak, he realizes his Lord and<br />

Master. ||4||5||<br />

Army Bands had also arrived as they played their solemn tributes as the disciples<br />

placed the body of Sant Lal Singh Ji on a wooden stretcher then decorated it with<br />

flowers and other gifts. Carrying it on their shoulders they made their way<br />

accompanied with the rest of the congregation singing hymns towards the Hoti camp,<br />

where in an open space they made a platform onto which the body was placed and<br />

after reciting Jap Ji Sahib and completing the final prayer the pyre was lit. And so it<br />

was to be that the vessel that Sant Lal Singh Ji Maharaj was in was returned back into<br />

the five elements. Kirtan Sohila was recited and then everyone returned back to the<br />

<strong>Sikh</strong> Temple where after completing this task the Guru’s sweet meal was given to all.<br />

In melancholy the devotees returned back to their homes with the sweet name of this<br />

precious soul on their lips and tears of love in their eyes.<br />

Panna 687: My Yatra, my life pilgrimage, has become fruitful, fruitful, fruitful.<br />

My comings and goings have ended, since I met the Holy Saint. ||1||Second<br />

Pause||1||3||<br />

Panna 294: Blessed, blessed, blessed is the coming of that humble being;<br />

by his grace, the whole world is saved.<br />

Dhan Sant Lal Singh Ji Maharaj, A true humble beloved of the ever existing Lord.<br />
