PACHMI PARKASH - Global Sikh Studies

called punishment. But Baba Ji was the light of the almighty Lord with the same
forgiveness and loving nature.
This Sayed’s heart sank with this weight of guilt which was bought about with the
punishment he had received for his actions. He felt ashamed with his own behavior
compared with Baba Ji’s show of love and compassion; he fell at their feet and said,
“Lord! Now you have placed this on me with your own hands, please protect my
honour in this same way.”
From this day onwards he stayed at Hoti serving and meditating and became a true
spiritual soul and fulfilled his life’s true potential. Dhan Baba Karam Singh Ji
Maharaj.
A lady from Gujar Garri being cured
At this time Baba Karam Singh Ji Maharaj was sitting at the Hoti camp showering
their grace on the devotees and fulfilling their wishes. Normally by 10am Baba Ji
would be taken back to their hut but today the disciples were amazed that it was now
10.30am and Baba Ji was still there, what could be the reason? They all wondered, as
they themselves were getting late for their own duties. All knowing Baba Ji, looking
into and listening to their hearts informed them saying, “Beloved devotees! We have
yet sometime to spend here, so those who have other duties to go to can go.” But
listening to their words no one moved, as everyone was far too interested in finding
out who this fortunate person could be that Baba Ji was waiting for.
Now whilst sitting there Baba Ji would sometimes rub his knees or sometimes his feet
and thighs, eventually at 2pm a lady came limping into Baba Ji’s presences. She
regularly attended but today she was late.
Baba Ji asked why she had been so delayed today. She told Baba Ji that she had
already left her home a little later than usual but as she hurryingly made her way, she
went into a deep state of emotion love whilst remembering Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji
Maharaj and closing her eyes she didn’t see the path ahead, as suddenly from a near
by cow dung heap a poisonous snake came out and bit her. She fell to the ground,
unconscious for two hours. Eventually coming around her eyes opened and very
slowly she made her way to Hoti stumbling and crawling.
Baba Ji stayed quiet, but the congregation figured out that Baba Ji had taken her
suffering on to himself and that was why he was massaging his feet and legs and that
her love and determination had kept him from returning back to his hut on time.
Baba Ji lovingly asked her if she was still suffering.
She replied with folded hands, “Lord you know your own ways!”
At that point Baba Ji explained and gave the lady and the congregation some points of
wisdom, saying that snake poison can be destroyed using mantras, but for those
humans who are poisoned with the five vices, only through a Complete Saints
blessing can those vices be destroyed. Listening to these words the devotees took
leave to return to their duties with Baba Ji’s sweet praises on their lips.
