Abortion
2004
Q: Bhaji what does gurbani say on when the soul enters the foetus?
A: If you ask Yogi Bhajan he says it enters after a few months, hence he never had a
problem with a woman having an abortion.
But Sant Baba ji who is guiding me now, says that as soon as conception takes place life
is there, and for the next 9 months the soul enters and leaves the foetus. Bani says the
foetus is in smadhi - merged with God, and in smadhi the soul goes out of body to
experience merger with God. Bani says those months are like a yogi doing hard penancein the burninging fire hanging upside down....but the sul remembers God throughout.
Baba ji says that abortion is going against Gods will, because Gods will is to give life(janam maran hukam ha) , but your desire - selfish thinking - wants to kill it. And law of
karma means that the doctor who aborts say 200 foetuses is hurting 200 souls , and that
doctor will be reborn 200 times to be aborted himself. Karma gives you back exactlywhat you have sown.
The soul can be small as an atom, or expand as large as the universe. Soul is God Lightinside you, it your life force. so it makes sense as soon as conception happens that
someith is making it grow, that something is God's Light - the soul energy.
Here are some quotes for Gurbani showing that our soul is alive in the womb from thebeginning. That it is Gods command, His play, we enter into the womb if we didnt give
up our desires in the past lives. That the womb is like a hellish-pit in which our soul isupside down dowing deep meditation. Also that in many lifetimes we did not make it
out of the womb alive were aborted (naturally or by humans). And ultimately, the pain
of being endlessly reincarnated through the womb only ends when God gives His graceand we finish the journey of our soul.
By the Hukam of the Lord's Command, you enter into the womb. 74
Through desire, people are cast into the womb and reborn. 61
He saves us from the hellish pit of the womb,and carries us across the terrifying world-ocean. 210

The mother nourishes the fetus in the womb,
hoping for a son. 165
O man, when you were coiled in the cradle of the womb,
upside-down, you were absorbed in meditation. 93
In so many incarnations,you were aborted in the womb; 176
By the True Lord's Glance of Grace.
That person does not have to
go through the fire of the womb again. 19.
True Kirat/Work
12 Jan 04
FRM JASPAL:
We had the great fortune to speak with SatGuru Baba Jee last night - He is DhanDhan....dandout forever to Puran Sant SatGuru. Sat Sat Sat SatNaaaam.
He spoke about True Kirat and that it is often mentioned about dassa nauwaan (10 fingernails) di kirat, Baba Jee said that sometimes people have to be a little deceitful when
carrying out their daily jobs - so how can this be True Kirat? This can only become TrueKirat if we give dasvandh back to Truth.
He said that the True Kirat karni is 'Punj Doot Tud Vas Keethai Kaal Kunthak Maareyaa'
- to destroy the 5 enemies is the True Kirat. The gang of five are always waiting topounce....
Baba Jee said that whenever we are thinking about ourselves then we are under the
influence of the doots - when we think of the well being of others then we are away fromthe five.
We said that it is so easy to lose at this game...he said 'You better believe it!'
Dhan Bhaag Humaarey that we have Sat Sangat to help keep us on the path and remind
us that we need to be constantly aware of the dangers of maya...Tiaar Par Tiaar. Alwayslooking at ourselves and our actions and see if what we have just done (and are doing) is
in any way influenced by her. Baba Jee says that bandagi is the acceptance of our sins
and then asking for forgiveness then moving on, then accepting if we commit more sins
and asking for forgiveness then moving on.

Baba Jee also mentioned that we must ask baani what it is that goes with us when we die,it is not the baana, the kakkaar did not go with Guru Gobind Singh Jee when He left. He
said that Baani will tell us that it is our Sat Karams that will go with us. So we should Jap
Mun Satnaam Sada Sada Satnaaam...
Baba Jee asked us to pass on His love to everyone.
Life And Death15 Jan 04
ik oankar satnaam sri satnaam sada satnaam satnaam satnaam
dhan dhn parbhram parmesar
dhan dhan satguru pramesar
dhan dhan sant sangat
may my head be sada sada always and forever pressed on the feet of the holy sants.
Bibi Ji wrote ask for pain - so we were getting a cold yesterday and instead of forgetting
worried about it, we asked god to give us pain , but also to be able to remember Him in
the pain ..dukh vich bee tujay araadhee, And during the day and night the body was
sneezing and aching , but instead of getting down about , just remembered that we are the
soul, the light - ever bright and ever radiant. We are not the body - dont let the mind go
down because the body goes down. Keep the mind absorbed in naam simrna absorbed I
the radiant light of your soul. And last night in a dream we did dandauth to Atam Khojee
and his wife Bee Ji and spoke to Paa Ji too...so it was blessed.
Today we called Baba Ji today said we had a cold. Baba Ji said that its all part of life.
We have germs inside us that are one lifeform that we even existed as once. They are
living and dying inside us - obeying the hukam they are under. And we are obeying the
hukam we are under.
People get religious and start aguing about meat being bad. But life and death is
constanly happening all around us and inside us and we cant do stop the killing of the
germs inside us by our immnue system. so we are still killing.
It is better to accept that this is the system 'shakay shakaee' meaning eat and be eaten.
One thing eats another thing. A big fish eats a little fish and the big fish gets eaten by a
shark. We eat food put in turn are food for something else. That's the system God has
established. So its pointless arguing about not eating meat. It is all part of nirgun and
sargun. Part of Gods play.
Asked Baba Ji what happens to the soul after Death. Some people say that the soul hangs
around for 12 days and that's why they do a sehaj paat (open reading of SGGS) for that
-

time period. Baba Ji said that some people say 12 days others say 7 days - if a soul hangs
around it is because of MOH. In reality after death of the body the soul runs around
looking for a place to rest. It may go around many places and realms, but unable to find a
place to rest it comes back to the place where is had the most MOH ...worldy attachments
or HATRED. And that soul is called a Ghost. It has gone out of the body and is
hanging around - a lost soul.
There are some souls that gone re-enter a body at will. They are called 'PREHTH'. They
look for weak people and enter their body with different intentions. Some are negative
forces, but others enter the body with the intention of listening to Gurbani so they can get
ot of the PREHTH form.
Gurbani says that the hardline people who do not listen to God, or do follow God but are
ignorant and egotistical are worse than PREHTHs. A PREHTH is better than a fanatical
religous person.
So the aim in life is for our soul to have a place to reside after physical death. A place
with God out of the cycle of births and deaths. And how do we achieve that? Baba Ji
said we have to die while we are still alive. DEATH OF THE EGO.
Baba Ji said that he does not clutter his mind with worldy thoughts of even names and
places, do this or that or anything like that. His mind is totally free. It is a state of just
EXISTANCE. Meaning it is content, satisfied, still, fearless and without hate -- nirbhau
nirvair. It is the highest state. Pure love for everyone and everything, always giving love
and NEVER expecting anything from anyone, nor expecting rewards for bhagati.
On the path do not go after miracles, they will come do not even pay any attention tothem. Even if you hear unstruck melody - anhad vajay its nothing, always remember the
aim to to conquor the self. And that is a longer tougher battle. When doing bhagati dont
expect anything from God. You owe everything to God. And god waited for you to
come back. God wanted you to cry for him and to give everything to Him without asking
for anything in return. Then you will reach the state of YOU YOU YOU - TUHEE
TUHEE TUHEE. And at that level the bhagat is God and god is the Bhagat. Also the
toughest exams are faced by the bhagat now.
When the trikuti opens - the third eye, then your bhagati begins. You see the one drop of
amrit - also called crstalline energy in Bhuddism. Then as you progress you get to ek
man ek chit -- ONE MIND ONE THOUGHT - totally focused on the ONE. Youexperience the highest amrit - ATAM RUS amrit. Baba Ji is pure love inside , pure light
inside. And this bliss increases more when your slanderers attack you. The very
disciple that you loved so much in the beginning comes back to sit infront of you and
slander you to your face. But when you are in bliss inside all you have is love for them,
and the love you sent them in the beginning all rebounds back to you to take you even
higher! but the slanderer doesnt understand any of this. Ignorance and Ego is the enemy
of atam rus. To experience atam rus amrit, you need to defeat your slanderers with love
-

and forgiveness. And those slanderers may well be your nearest and dearest - wife, kids
and parents.
Baba Ji said the turban went all external forms of religion have been discarded by him,
but the JYOT inside the ATAM RUS AMRIT inside shines brightly and stronger and
gives DIVINE BLISS.
All love and blessings, you are all DHAN DHAN, stay peaceful .. SUKHEE RAHO
SUKHEE RAHO, blessing to you and your families.
Dhan Dhan dhan Baba ji who is truly amazing in this world and dhan dhan is our great
good destiny to ber able to have the sangat of thi great soul and the great souls around
him.
Keep Going21 Feb 04
Baba Ji said that the path is very , very difficult. That is why it is called the way of thedouble edged sword. And that is why even spiritually enlightened ones can fall near the
end of their journey. I asked Baba ji to always save this fool, because I dont know
anything. Baba Ji said follow the way of Humility. Always remain low and humble andyou will pass.
Baba Ji said that Sheik Farid Ji says Thurriaa Ja, Thurriaa Ja keep on walking , keepon walking. So keep on going on this path. Dont give up. Any obstacles you have just
pierce through them. Dont look back, keep going forward. Only Maya and Moh holds
you back, so dont look back.
Baba Ji said to keep on writing and sharing the knowledge with others. That was
community service (kar seva) and that I would be coloured with love and more love (rang
chaargiaa) the more I shared. Also that people reading it should be aware that books arefull of knowledge, but knowledge is not enough. Wisdom is required on this path. What
is widsom? Wisdom is the knowledge that you go and experience for yourself.
So gather wisdom. And share that wisdom with others. And you may even have NEW
wisdom to shareSAHIB MERA NIT NAVAMY MASTER IS NEW EVERYDAY.
Remember this whole cycle of 8.4 million life forms is an evolutionary one. Everyday it
is being refined. And the same is true for enlightenment. It is evolutionary. Baba Ji saidhis time was a few years ago, now our time is coming to refine it to further.
Listen to Your Heart

FROM JASPAL:
Ik Oankaar Sri Satnaam
During a conversation with Baba jee yesterday the following gyaan was given:
We must listen to our hearts if we want to progress on this path back toward AkaalPurakh:
i.e. (my understanding) if we come to a point in our lives where we feel that we aregetting nothing from our daily actions that we have been doing routinely, this is a
message from the heart asking us to re-assess ourselves, our karni. We then need to bring
into fruition those actions that will help our heart come to the surface, to wear ones heart
on ones face. Often this calling from the heart will mean that we will need to changetasks that we may have been doing for many many years - this can prove to be a difficult
change, but will ultimately free the soul from any excess baggage that is holding it back.
It is not enough just to repeat Satnaam, we must put it into practice. Bring truthful deeds
into reality, that is bringing SATnaam into reality. What the bhagats do is go to Dargah
and pick up jewels of wisdom and from there it is their task to bring those jewels ofwisdom into the Earth realm. This is what Dhan Baba Nanak did, he brought what was in
Sachkhand here to the Earth plane of existence.
If you have a question then ask God directly and He will answer. (My understanding) -this relates to the first point of listening to the heart, for that is where God resides and He
will communicate to you through your heart. He can make you do one thing one day and
another thing the next, He is in control. He has no roop, 'Na Roop Na Rung Na Rekh NaBekh'.
Truth, Love and Compassion is what we need to adopt into our lives, all else will fall intoplace.
Clean the mind and then all else will become clean.

Please, forgive paaapi for any mistakes in advance, bhul chuk maff karni..
--------
Learnt from Baba Ji (2/4/04):
He re-enforced meditating on SatNaam as this is everything.
Be intelligent at your work and dummy (humble) everywhere else!
Have good thoughts to others. i.e. think good for others and you will be doing Truth.
Go into your bad thoughts, i.e. why? i.e. for dass Ego comes into play.
Be the lowest of the low.
You can ask God a question and listen for the answer, maybe you hear his voice, maybe afeelnig you get, an intuition, maybe something someone says or maybe no answer comesback which means do nothing.
Solve the illusion (maya).
Solve your dream e.g. you are a Grocer in a dream and work with Computers, what's
false? It's a game, there are false things that come our way and true jewels..
Do Compassion (e.g. volunteering work, hospital work) and Parapkaar. I think dass
understood that doing Compassionate things helps us to reduce ego..
Don't judge others, only assess where you are at any moment eg which of the five thieves
are running you right now.
Excessive thinking wastes amrit. Re: Excessive thinking - by saying its a problem,
your telling your mind it's a problem, sowing this fruit.
Judging others wastes amrit. So say it's not a problem.
Doing things uses up the divine energy of your inner light.
Have to get rid of own logic/manmat self-wisdom.
Have discussions about things that are bothering you, ask your questions air your doubtsand get them resolved so they dont bother you anymore and you can dor your bhagti.
To beat ego: Take it slowly. Talked about looking at a brick wall, that is ego, rather thanrunning into it, be lost in it... then you lose your ego.

Admit your sins..
Meditate on SatNaam... then practice.
Keep hacking away. You have to get rid of your evil self..
He mentioned also about dubidha/doubts - practice what you read from books. Earn theGyan.
Don't count things like how many hours of simran you did or how much daswand yougave. Need to remove all that logic and then expectation of spiritual reward. That is
maya thinking to get paid by the hour, this path is total surrender, give everything in love,
expect nothing. Throw negative thoughts away (e.g. burning in fire).
The disciple and the Guru are one.
Don't forget your meditation, travel of the soul.
Everything loves you, but due to karma we think the whole is universe is battleground.
But just remember deep down in everyone is god and God in everyone loves you.
Learnt from him do things from the heart.
Duality is the sens of youre an me, us and them. Remove this, i.e. we are separate.
Good and Bad are at this realm. Have no desires, no ego, hence peace. I.e. want nothing
and remove fear/desires.
Even when ego goes, you still have mind, but its a compassionate one instread of hatred.
So practise mind of compassion instead of hatred until it becomes spontaneous.
Enjoy whatever Parbrahm puts you in.
Say: I am nothing, everything is yours.
TERA KEA MEETHA LAGEH your will is sweet God.
Get into routine of morning and evening simran and don't break it for anything e.g.parties, etc.
You change from being lawless to following God's laws.
He also mentioned about giving dasdwandh frees you from your own greed, makes yougiving , giving, giving , gets you ot of me and mine attitude.

Meaning Of Ik Ang Sat Sat Sat
19 May 04
"Ik ANG sat sat sat." This is a new higher Mantra given to us by Baba ji. First there isSATNAAM, then it becomes SAT SAT SAT, then higher than that is IK ANG SATSAT SAT. Baba ji said that every SatGuru goes deeper and further into God, refines
the Amrit to even higher levels and produces the Mantra that resonates with that higher
level.
When I asked Baba ji what it meant, he said that it was so people realised that One God
(IK)/Truth(SAT) is inside their own body (ANG).
Literally it means:
The One (Ik God) who is inside the body (ANG) SAT SAT SAT TRUTH TRUTHTRUTH. SAT is said three times to get out of three parts of maya. You say SAT once, it
destroyes RAJO, second time it destroys TAMO aspect and thrird time it destroys SATO
aspect of MAYA.
Dream Within A Dream25 May 04
By guru's kirpa I have learnt a few things about my mind over the last few weeks which Iwould like to share:
1) the closer you get to God, the stronger maya comes to hold you back.
Eg Maya is a net and I am a fish, the harder I push to get out of it, the tighter the net gets
to hold me back.
When we came back from seeing Baba Ji a couple of months ago we were supercharged -
as Baba Ji says everyone who comes to him leaves having been lifted a few energylevels. Since coming back so much arguments and friction between family members
caused ego to raise its ugly head. Followed by anxieties of planning for the future, guilt
of leaving parents (thinking of emigrating to Canada), and dreams of doing a meditation
centre and seva. Net result was felt depressed last couple of weeks. Leadin to anger andfrustration.
Asked Baba Ji why am I feeling depressed, he said because you have to get rid of all
desires, then min will drop away. I said but I'm only dreaning of doing selfless seva, hereplied that even that was 'a dream within a dream'. Meaning we are already in a dream -
this life - and we should aim to bust out through the trikuti (third eye), not start making
more dreams within this dream.

2) satnaam=thankQ
even doing simran on satnaam can be frustrating because there are sublte desires of
expecting spiritual rewards (seeing light, hearing sounds, feeling energy etc etc). But that
leads to depression too. Found that mind only came to peace when I remembered Baba Ji
said 'a thankful heart will become a loving heart' and that everytime someone says thanksit heals a massive hole of negativity created by negative people. So now I think of
satnaam as meaning thankyou. And do simran just thanking Satguru ji for the gift ofnaam for which the debt can never be repayed, even by giving mind, body, wealth, soul,
sacrificing family, firiends everything to Satguru ji is still not enough. So just keep saying
satnaam thinking "thankQ -thankQ - thankQ"
thankQ ALL

World Is My Gurdwara
27 May 04
satnaam satnaam sada sada satnaam ji
beloved of the guru, repescted sangat ji
Here is another thing that my mind has found peace with in the last few days.
I said to Baba Ji I used to go to gurdwara all the time, twice a day , and really missed it
since moving away from Southall, and also felt spirituality had gone down.
Baba Ji said that it was just addiction of the brain. It gets into a routine and then craves it.
Baba ji also said the whole world is your Gurdwara -- Dharti Dharamsal (JapJi).
Whereever god has placed you is the best part of Creation as the Creator is right there
with you. So dont dream of being in other places as you may get born again there due toyour attachment/desire for it. Also my mind also thinks it is greener on the other side -
gets fed up with this job, this place, this home, and dreams of another job, another place
etc.
But now have realised the mind wont be happy by going elsewhere. Actually it will only
be happy by doing seva and simran of God wherever it is in the world right now.
So now whereever I go I feel like that is my Gurdwara.
So at home, that is my Gurdwara, family members are sangat, parents are my Guru my

duty is to serve them and do simran.
At work, that becomes my Gurdwara, colleagues are my sangat, boss is my Guru and my
duty is service and simran.
In the car, that is my Gurdwara, the passengers are my sangat and Guru, and my duty isto serve them and do simran.
Now with Baba Ji's kirpa, I feel the Gurdwara is around me all the time.
The world is my Gurdwara.
Dharti Dharamsal.
Professor Puran Singh Ji also wrote a similar thing, saying that the Gurdwara is alaboratory where we go to learn and to practise service and spirituality. But then we have
to apply it in the big wide world.

A tale of two devotees
4 Jun 04
Ik oankar satnaam gurprasad||
You are all dhan dhan, may this foreheads forever be pressed at the
gur-sangat's lotus feet.
When we visited Baba Ji he pointed out Bibi Tarlochan Ji in the video of the sangat. Hesaid she was great, she has stood by naam through thick and thin. When she first came to
the sangat she was old and weak and oppressed by her own family. Overtime she went
from being a sparrow to a hawk, transformed by naam. In the end when the whole ofTornoto turned against Baba Ji's sangat including her own family she shocked tem all by
standing upto every single one of them. Baba Jji said that is the glory of Naam, it truns
sparrows to hawks , jacklas to lions just as Guru Gobind Singh ji said. When she first
came to the sangat she didn't even want naam. She only asked for seva , to be able toserve the sadh sangat with her own hands, for the sangat to come to her house. She used
to say "Baba Ji, dont give me naam, just keep giving me seva of you and the sangat." Andlook what happened - she got naam , she got everything , God was so pleased and gaveher all the spiritual gifts. She wanted to be nothing and God made
an old weak lady into EVERYTHING.
And now another member of the sangat, who was well respected in Sikh circles but had
not gotten anywhere spiritually also came to see Baba Ji. He had many questions and his
committment grew as well as of his family. He used to ask Baba Ji for naam to go into his

heart, and Baba Ji blessed him, he used to ask for many spiritual gifts that are mentioned
in gurbani and Baba Ji clapped his hands and God's grace was bestowed. When he hadonly one rung left to become totally ONE with Akal Purakh, he lost his faith in Baba Ji
and went back to his old path. Baba Ji said see what happened, his bhagati was a fraud.
He wanted all the spiritual gifts because he wanted to be something special, but God has
put him back down again.
We can all learn from these examples. It was not my intention to criticse anyone, just forus to learn that on the path of bhagati remember LOVING GOD is the only target, dont
get distracted by trying to get smadhi's, experience of light and sound (anhad vajay) ,
darshan of great souls etc. It is easy to get disllusioned on the path when you thnk I havedone naam simran and nothing has happened to me, and then when something does
happen you get happy. I do that all the time. But that has made the gifts of God into
benchmarks, like a karate student who is given coloured belts to show his progress. And
then he can tell everyone he is a black belt. You can do bhagati and accumualte spiritualexperiences with the attidue of becomeing a spiritual black belt. But you will fail.
Because the real karate never had coloured belts, the belt was to hold the uniform intact,and over years of training the belt would get dirtier and dirtier so getting darker anddarker. But the student was never concerned with the belt only in doing what his teacher
instructed. Infact Baba Ji said, once a student becomes black belt and goes beyond that,
they never get into fights - they enter into spirtual realms of chee and meditation.
Now Baba ji said that "people in the sangat have been blessed with darshan of great
souls, but I have no desire for that. People want heaven and to avoid hell, but I have no
desire to even go to Dargah (Gods court). Because I see God right here right now in theCreation, in everything and everyone. The only thing I say is PARBRAHM SARNAAEE
- may I forever be in the shelter of Supreme God."
May we be able to surrender everything to the Guru, "tan man dhan sabh saup guru kao,
hukam manio paaia" ..give body, mind and wealth ALL to the Guru, obey the Guru's
command and you will merge with the Supreme.
You are dhan dhan , thankyou for lettimg me do seva of you all

Satnaam is very kind to us.
Satnaam in Baba Ji is very kind to us.Satnaam in sant sagat is very kind to us.
Satnaam in you is very kind to us.
We have learned from Baba Ji that:
Everything has happened upto know was HUKAM - just as God wanted it.
Everyone you meet is just to finish the game of sowing and reaping giving and taking.
What you have sown in the past , was then written on your forehead to be reaped by you
today.
Everything you do today will be reaped by you in the future. In that sense you are writingyour own destiny.
So accept the past happened as God willed and dont stress about it.
Do more SAT naam, and SAT karams
Baba Ji said that "The story of your life is your heart and deeds."
TLC Truth, Love and Compassion
30 Jun 04
FROM JASPAL JI:
When speaking with Dhan Dhan Baba Jee last night he mentioned the three qualities tobring into action in our daily lives, Truth, Love and Compassion. He said that Love does
not give birth to Truth. Truth must come first.
Truth gives birth to love, just as in any relationship honesty, integrity are vital qualities. If
a person is honest and has integrity, then this person can be loved. Then this love gives
birth to compassion.
We were just thinking that this makes so much sense in that when loves comes first, it
can lead to infatuation, obsession and attachment - even if the object of love is deceitfuland dishonest. We should bring the qualities of SAT into our life, see SAT in others thenlove them and then show them compassion.
So TRUTH leads to LOVE which then leads to COMPASSION.

Simran is a small part of Bhagti26 Jul 04
FROM JASPAL JI:
With God's grace we spoke with Dhan Dhan Baba Jee last night - He sends His love anddandouth to you all, Pritam Anand jee, Shoti Mata Jee and Avtaar Jee (Guddi aunty's
husband) all send their dandouth to you all.
Speaking with Baba Jee he explained to us what can be considered to be Bhagti. He said
simran is a small part of Bhagti - it is one point concentration. He said the actual meaningof Bhagti is to have compassion for others, to serve others and to love others. To sit and
do simran is one part of it the other (big) part of bhagti to serve others.
He said that to have love for the self is to have hate for others, to have love for others first
will automatically bring love back to us.
He also said that it is important remember to love every situation that we are put in byGod i.e. work/job - He said if one puts their heart into the tasks that they have been given,
new opportunities will present themselves. Therefore we do not need to think about the
future/opportunities - dedicate yourselves to what you have and the new opportunity willspring up at the right time and say 'Pick Me!'
To help us accept the situations we find difficult we should say 'Tera Paana MeetahLaagaye, Har Naam Padarath xxxx Mungaye' where 'xxxx' would relate to our name so
that this tuk becomes personal to us. So despite where we are let us all be thankful that
we have Satnaam in our hearts and ask God that it never leaves us.

FROM JASPAL:
Ik Oankaar Satnaam
Dhan Dhan Paar Brahm ParmesarDhan Dhan Gur-Guru-Gurbaani
Dandouth Parvaan Karni Jee,
We were listening to Sukh Sagar radio late last night where a Sant was doing some
kathaa (forgive us we do not know his name). He was saying some really good things, we
cannot remember all that he said, but one of the things that stayed with us is:
'...the path that we walk is very steep, VERY steep and for us to make this journey up this
steep mountain we must 'travel light'. We must leave many things behind for us to make

this journey, and that includes religion - for HE is the one without religion.'
We thought this gyaan coming through a sant who would be seen as a mainstream Sikhi
sant very refreshing to hear.
Once someone phoned in to tell sant ji that they were thinking about keeping their hairbut wanted to know how this would benefit them spiritually to which Sant ji replied 'there
are many different sects and maryadas in Sikhi where some say you can do this whereothers say otherwise. I do not want to get into panthic debates, my concern is only with
the gyaan of Sri Guru Granth Sahib jee' - which basically sums it all up in that SGGS is
the only maryada worth worrying about.
Another thing Sant jee said last night was: '...a farmer likes to comment about how much
land he owns and is proud in doing so, at which point the Earth laughs and says 'hey silly
man, I do not belong to you, it is you that belong to ME - for when you die your bodywill return to me.' - I guess the other part of me (my soul) belongs to God, so what can I
say is 'MINE', truth is, is that there is no such thing as MINE. All is YOU - Tu Hee TuHee
Namjeevan jee spoke with Baba Jee this afternoon where Dhan Dhan Baba jee explained
that there is a big difference between self pity and nimrata. In self pity we tend to saythings like 'I haven't got this' or 'I'm so poor' etc, whereas to be in nimarta is to be in
CHARDEE KALLA always and to say 'I have everything because I live in HIS Hukam'
and 'I have HIS Naam'.
So Baba jee said that when he says 'Enjoy life' he doesn't mean to enjoy it lavishly with
expensive gifts, but to enjoy it by living every moment in HIS (God's) hukam - that is the
TRUE way to enjoy one's life.
Dhan Dhan Raam Piaarey, may my head always be at their holy holy feet.

Preeto : What about relationship amongst teenagers, and pre-marital sex?
Baba ji said 'If it is written to happen before marriage it will happen it doesnt matter
howmany strings you tie or how many shackles religion put on it, it will happen thats
why in punjab love affairs are hidden. Do you think its not happening amongst Sikhs? Itmost defintely is. Leader of SGPC Bibi Jagir Kaur is a butcher. She got her own daughter
harpreet killed for a love affair, and her unborn baby she wasnt a leader, not acompassion , not mother teresa she is killer of two and no gathra (5Ks) is going to save
her and when she(harpreet) is born again she will have to first balance with the daughter
and next to balance with the spirit that was in her daughters womb She is not goinganywhere, no one can free her she has to pay her dues it will come to her before she dies -
you watch He runs csomic conscious, earth conscious and ego conscious He knows how
to punish you he can make you lunatic like at time when guru amar das said to the
woman 'o stupid woman ' and it happened to her it will happen to every single one ofthem the greates improsionment is your own mind If relationship is going to happen its
going to happen"

Bibi Ordered Execution Of Harpreet, Says Approver
Tribune News Service
Patiala, October 19 2004
Dr Balwinder Singh Sohal, who had turned approver in Harpreet murder case, whiletestifying in a local court here today claimed that the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak
Committee (SGPC) President, Bibi Jagir Kaur, had directed him to eliminate her daughter
on April 14, 2000.
Testifying in the court of Additional Sessions Judge S.P. Bangarh, the doctor said he had
been called to Jasdil Mansion in Phagwara on April 14, 2000 by Bibis close confidantParamjit Singh Raipur. When he reached the mansion, Paramjit told him that Harpreet
was adamant on marrying Kamaljit Singh of Begowal village which was not acceptable
to Bibi Jagir Kaur.
According to Dr Sohal Paramjit also told him that Harpreet had brought disgrace to theentire family by bringing Kamaljit and his sister to Jasdil Mansion on March 10 and now
they had no choice other than eliminating her. Dr Sohal said he was told that this was not
only Paramjits decision but was also of Bibi Jagir Kaur, Nishan Singh, who was incharge of the security of Bibi Jagir Kaur and Dalwinder Kaur Dhesi, a close confidant of
the SGPC President.

Following this, Dr Sohal said, he was taken to the drawing room in Jasdil Mansion where
Bibi Jagir Kaur was present. There Paramjit told Bibi, I have explained to him that it is
necessary to eliminate Harpreet. Dr Sohal said when he looked at Bibi she said there is
no other option. Testifying in the court Dr Sohal said, when he gave anotherquestioning look to the SGPC President she crossed and uncrossed her hands to make the
message clear.
In his statement the doctor said before this he had visited Harpreet between March 25 andApril 7 after her foetus had been aborted. He said he had administered mexogen tablets to
Harpreet to stop her from lactating and that he was also questioned on this score by Bibi
Jagir Kaur.
He claimed that Harpreet had, during this period, requested him to plead her case for freemovement which revealed that the girl was being held captive.
Dr Sohal said on April 7, 2000 he received a phone call from Paramjit who told him thatHarpreet had run away. Two days later he was told that the girl had come back after she
was assured that she would be married to Kamaljit. The doctor said Paramjit even told
him that Harpreet had brought Kamaljit and Manjit to Jasdil mansion along with her and
that all three of them had slept in the same room that night. He said he was later told thatKamaljit and Manjit had left for Begowal.
The statement of Dr Sohal remained inconclusive today. Public Prosecutors S.K. Saxena
and V.K. Handa said the statement of the doctor would be recorded later.
Meanwhile, Bibi Jagir Kaurs counsel Satnam Singh submitted an application before the
court requesting that his client be allowed to go to the USA in the next few days to take
part in the bhog (funeral) ceremony of Harbhajan Singh Yogi.
The CBI has opposed the application saying the court proceedings would be adversely
affected in case Bibi Jagir Kaur did not return from the USA. The application will beheard tomorrow.
Seeing Without Eyes

Guru Ram Das ji writes on SGGS 983 that he sees the world without his eyes :
inj Gir jwie AMimRq rsu pIAw ibnu nYnw jgqu inhwry ]7]
nij ghar jaae a(n)mrith ras peeaa bin nainaa jagath nihaarae ||7||
I came back to the home of my own inner self;
drinking in the ambrosial essence,I see the world, without my eyes. ||7||
Baba Ji told me that once he got back from doing hours of seva and simran at the
gurdwara and was just relaxing on the sofa at home. The TV was on in the background
and Baba Ji had the TV remote in his hand. His kids came in to the room and said "Dad
we didnt know you knew Chinese!" There was a Chinese channel on. Baba ji said "Oyeah , thanks".
The kids came back half an hour later and "Hey Dad - you're still watchingthe Chinese channel!'.
Baba Ji said that people think he is watching the TV, but actually he is in 24 hrpermament smadhi. And the TV maybe on, but no one knows that he is doing "Amrit
Abhiaas" - "filtering the Amrit" and distributing it wherever needed.
Baba ji said once in the early days of his bhagati that he was flicking thru TV channelswith his finger on the remote. He could see the channels changing, then he realised that
his eyes were closed. But he could see everything!
Baba Ji also said it makes no difference to him to watch TV or not. Because the
wonderful world of things we are watching on the TV, he is also seeing another
wonderful world of things inside his inner eye. .... TV for the inner eye!!
Radhasoami Naam - 5 Charged Words
15 Dec 04
I asked Baba Ji about the five words (panch shabad) naam that the Radhasoami Guru Jis
give. Baba ji said even while he was doing bhagati the first naam that Baba Ji was givenwas 5 names ...something like "oankar satnaam narinder niranjan nirankar" ..sorry cant
remember exactly but I have it on tape. (Narinder is Baba Jis birth name and God put it
into the Naam.) But Baba Ji never gave that five name Naam to anyone, because Baba Jisaid I wanted to crack the diamond of God completely, to find the complete Truth, then
Baba Ji carried on doing more and more devotional bhagati and the diamond was pierced
and SATNAAM was the ultimate NAAM that God gave Baba Ji to distribute.

There is a good example to illustrate why Baba Ji has called SatNaam the diamond. In
India a farmer may have ten acres of land which he ploughs, nurtures and grows his cropin. At harvest time the wheat he cuts may fill up many sacks, but still only take up a
small area on his forecourt. When he sells those sacks of wheat he gets a large handful of
notes. On the way home he buys a diamond the size of a pea. You can think of the
whole of Guru Granth Sahib Ji as the ten acres of land, which you work hard to read andunderstand. Then you realise that the complete message of Guru Granth Sahib ji is
contained in JapJi, the very first divine writing. After some time you find that just bydoing Mool Manter you feel the divine essence of God that is described in 40 verses of
JapJi. Then when you receive the GurParsaad of SatNaam as described in Mool Mantr,
you feel the whole essence of Guru Granth Sahib Ji in just one word, the Naam SAT TRUTH. And that is the diamond that Baba ji realised through his inner pilgrimage that
took him through every shabad of Guru Granth Sahib Ji and beyond.
So for the farmer, that diamond he purchased is extremely valuable as it represtents awhole years labouring in the fields. But, if the farmer gives the diamond to a pig, the pig
will just trample it into the ground while it sticks its snout looking for food in the filth.But if the famer takes the diamond to a jeweller, the jeweller will be ready to bow to suchbeauty.
Baba Ji gives this diamond, the GurParsaad of SatNaam, to anyone who asks for it, asopposed to other Gurus who will want to assess wether you are a pig or a jeweller before
giving you the spiritual earnings. But, Baba ji said for him he only sees God in whoever
comes for the Naam so God in Baba Ji gives the diamond of SatNaam to God in the
seeker and what they do with it is upto them, but Baba ji was in service and Baba ji didhis job for the glory of SatNaam.
A Few Drops More Of Divine Wisdom
19 Jan 05
Satnaam sada satnaam ji SatNaam alwaysa and forever Satnaam.
Mera preetam pyara satguru rakhwala ji my dearly beloved protector , my SatGuru.
Spoke to Baba Ji the other night, here are some more drops of divine wisdom (writing
from memory - so its not exact quotes):
Where there is love there is SATNAAM, and where SATNAAM is there is love.
When two people meet for developing a relationship, then let them develop love in theirheart. Let them be truthful and the heart will bloom. But heart becomes malformed /
limited when people start following their wordly selfish way of thinking (manmat).
Those people thnik they are following love but they have limited their love by their
manmat. (Eg two people want to get married cause hearts feel love, but then their
manmat tells them - what about caste?, what about matching height? skin colour? same

religion? good job? etc etc).
Baba ji said, keep on going, keep on going. Stay lowest of the low on this path.
Told Baba Ji about the meditation class we rean at home last week and complete
newcomers felt "amrit" or had hot hands etc, Baba ji said they have experienced it, but tokeep it (keep presence of God inside them) requires sacrifice. God will want you to
sacrifice every single relationship, God will want you to pass every single test. And thatis what people find hard to do. Its not easy to sacrifice everything for God.
Baba ji said one reason people do nindya (slander of us on the spiritual path) is becausethey want what you have got spiritually. They have desires for what you have, they
haven't got it, so makes them jealous. Rather than getting rid of their own desires which
is actually the reason for their mental unhappiness, they attack you with slander - try to
discredit what you have or make it seem unimportant so they dont feel so bad about nothaving it.
Baba ji also said to keep doing write-ups - keep sharing whatever gian(divine knowledge)God is putting inside you. That way you keep letting it out, and He will keep filling you
up with more. Until one day when He will totally open up His Book of Life to you to
share with the world.
Also spoke to Baba ji a couple of weeks ago and Baba ji told us that the bigger the amrit
(Gods presence) gets inside you , the bigger the tests of maya will get. Every positive has
an equal and opposite negative. Its true the folowing week, had to listen to much nindyafrom family, but with Guru ji's kirpa they cant shake us off this path now, as we dont
have the doubts we used to. They can say what they want, but as Dassan Dass ji told us
right in the beginning "Put God and Guru at number 1. Serving Guru's sangat at number2. Family and everything else worldy comes afterwards."
Dust of your feet
Easy Life is Unlawful ARAAM IS HARAAM

Satnaam sada satnaam
"I am a great sinner and hypocrite, a slanderer full of jealousy , complaints and gossip.
Satguru ji please forgive me and bless me with naam, seva and bhagati."
Spoke to Baba Ji yesterday while they were doing Gursangat. At the beginning of the call
they were having a picnic and socialising. By the end I could feel amrit in my chest area,
and Baba Ji said that the sangat around him had all gone into deep smadhis!

Dhan dhan dhan jan aayaa jis prasad sabh jagat taraaya.
Blessed blessed blessed is that devotee
by whos grace the whole world is ferried across.
Guru Arjun Dev Ji
Here are the key points I remember :-
1) ARAAM is HARAAM - wanting to take it easy is unlawful. Just before i called I was
thinking I'll just have an afternnon nap, then I thought but I could do some seva around
the house or edit some of the kirtan. Then I had a feeling to call Baba Ji, and withouttelling him that I was thinking of resting (araam), he said ARAAM is HARAAM. And
we need to keep the body in seva, in service. ... and quoted the following gurbani SGGS286
saevaa karath hoe nihakaamee ||
this ko hoth paraapath suaamee ||
One who performs selfless service, without thought of reward,
shall attain his Lord and Master.
Keep the body in selfless service, dont let it get lazy and you will attain the Supreme.
2) HUMILITY IS THE FOUNDATION STONE. Baba ji said that humilty is the
foundation stone upon which your bhagati is built. Always put humilty first before doing
anything.
3) CHANGE THE WORD ARGUMENT TO FORGIVENESS. When people argue with
you and you get offended, then the length of time it takes you to forgive them is how
thick your ego is. If you find yourself in an argument then stay humble. See it as seva of
the other person. By listening to their verbal hits and not arguing back, you are lettingthem unwind. They may shout, but dont respond with shouting. Better to stay silent and
contented in Truth (SAT SANTOKH) and keep washing their feet (in your mind). If youfind youself getting angry, just leave and go for a long walk. One day they will realise
that they are the one who is always angry and shouting and you are the saintly one always
returning love and peace. The day they realise inside themselves they have acted in anungodly way, that is the day their inner cleansing will begin. Until then, no matter how
much you argue back with them they will not change to accept you. And especially if you
-
5/21/2018 Baba Ji Talks 2004-05
24/25
24
are just as bad as them shouting and arrogant and hateful and hurtful to them also, then
they will see you as ungodly too. "Just as bad as them".
In the beginning you may take months or years to forgive someone, or even many
lifetimes. Over time you notice you are getting angry, then leave the argument right away
and go for a walk. It may take you an hour to cool down and forgive them. But ultimatelyget to the point where as soon as the argument begins you forgive them instantly. Then
you have no ego, their words only offend your ego, and makes you angry. Forgive meansno ego means no anger, means your satnaam simran carries on inside without getting
disturbed.
Also remember we have done the same bad actions to the other person in the past (or past
lives) and now we are receivng back the same. Worst thing to do is to take an eye for an
eye. Better to give your eye and keep doing satnaam simran in humility. Baba Ji said so
instead of your revengeful nature trying to attack them back for what they did, have faiththat your naam simran balances out your dues.
At other times when you are innocently being attacked , when there is no past karmabeing worked out, but a new attack happening, then Naam simran will not allow even one
hair of yours to be touched...."vich karta purakh kholooya, vaal na vinga hoia"...Where
the Creator stands not a single hair can be touched. This happened when Baba Ji wasattacked at his house, he went into deep smadhi and was not touched at all. He said the
others in the sanga who were attacked kept doing naam simran too in humility and were
just blanacing out what they had done to the attackers in past lives.
4) KEEP GOING. DONT LOOK BACK. Baba ji said avoid confrontations. Keep doing
sangat and simran. He was very happy that we were all progressing so well and sent his
love and blessings to everyone. The whole sangat with him sent their blessings to thesangat here.
5) PRAY BEFORE DOING A JOB YOU DONT LIKE. If you hate your job, then itsonly the illusary part i.e. the sense of I is not accepting I am working here only because
of law of karma. Only because this company owes me some money, and I owe them
some work. That I have interations with the people in that workplace to be played out.
Accept that God is doing everyinth, has placed me here for a reason. And go with theflow of where life (God) takes you. So to get rid of the one who is complaing and hating,
the illusory sense of self pray "O True King, Sachay Patshah, I am a fool (moorakh)
come here to serve you."
Tsunami25 Apr 05
A month after the Tsumami that killed 250,000 people, I remember Baba Ji saying to me"look how much compassion and kindness came out in people after the tsunami. Look
how people gave their daswand, more than daswand, gave as much time and money as
they could to help, look how all religions forgot about their religious differences and
-
5/21/2018 Baba Ji Talks 2004-05
25/25

joined together to help humanity. But now just over a month later people have started
forgetting, started going back to their old habits of me and mine, of religious differences."
Then Baba Ji added, "If it takes a Tsunami to bring our compassion and kindness and
higher conscious living in people, but it takes a moonths for people to forget, then God
should give us 12 Tsnumas in a row, one a month - until people CHANGE permanently."
And remember Baba ji said the Tsunami is not a disaster to a saint. To a saint it is the willof God, and whatever God does is good. Those people were destined to die in that way,
God hasnt kept it secret ,we all know we are born to die. And no matter how we die, or
how many of us die together, it is never acceptable to the worldy people. But to the saint,death holds no fear. Baba ji said "Jesus wasnt crucified on the cross. He crucified himself
before that." Jeevan mukat means dead whilst alive, when the ego has died then the mind
of God runs the body.
