PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

A mothers sacrifice, for her child is that where she undergoes all pain to look after her
children to make them good human beings and through this sacrifice she becomes a
stronger woman and so that is the reason that a woman’s position is always held so
high.
Eventually both mother and daughter in-law arrived in Baba Ji’s presence, whilst
Baba Ji was coming from their hut to the Hoti camp. The mother with her robe held
out by her hands made the gesture of a begging bowl and stood on route. The
disciples who were carrying Baba ji stopped and with tears she humbly requested
saying, “O Allahs light! Please fill my arms, please return my son back from the
foreign land, please have pity on me as I have no one else in this world, I will become
a recluse without him.”
Baba Ji, the Knower of all hearts did not say anything, but smiled and continued on
his way. Now this lady continued to come to that spot everyday and each day she
would stand with her arms out making the same request, but Baba Ji would always
stay quiet. It was now the seventh day of her come to see Baba Ji and on this occasion
Baba Ji was coming from the huts by foot accompanied by some Sikh Soldiers
devotees having a conversation with them, when again she was there making her
request. Baba Ji smiled compassionately and showered her with his grace and said,
“Go and sit at home peacefully as in four days your son will return.” With this rain of
compassion the barren fields within her heart began to turn green again.
Baba Ji’s Divine Power
When Baba Ji returned back to his hut he informed his disciples not to bring his
afternoon meal telling them that he wished not to disturb as he would come out
himself in due time. Going into the hut they locked the door and sat in deep
meditation. Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj using his divine powers transported
his body to Calcutta. Meanwhile the starving Pataan boy was suffering and roaming
the streets of Calcutta. Knowing the boys suffering, Baba Ji on finding him
approached the boy and greeted him. The boy not knowing who Baba Ji was just
happy to see a friendly face. Baba Ji continued to ask him of what he was doing in
Calcutta, lost and hungry and the boy told of the whole episode. He explained that he
had run out of money and that he couldn’t get a job, he further explained that he
hadn’t eaten for three days and had no money to pay for fare to return home.
Baba Ji firstly took the boy into a hotel and fed him then took him to the train station
buying him a ticket, they sat him on the train back home, saying, “Go straight home
as your mother and wife are very worried over you.” Meanwhile Baba Ji returned
back in their divine way and as the day had turned to night they opened the door to
their hut and gave their sweet vision to all the devotees who were still awaiting them.
On the fourth day the Pataan boy returned home to the delight of his family, the
mother embraced her beloved son and said, “Come let’s go and pay our respect to the
Guru’s beloved with whose grace we have got you back.” As he came into the camp
with his family to see Baba Ji, at a distance the boy recognized them and began to
shout saying, “Mother! Mother! This is that same Holy man who four days ago first
fed me and then bought me a ticket and put me on the train home.” Now the mother
already knew with full faith that Baba Ji was a Complete Saint the light of Allah and
