Relating the above topic towards spirituality I remember an incident of Rev. Secretary Ram Saran Dass Ji (One of Saat Sitaarein of Our Mission) & his wife. He along with his wife went to Baba Avtar Singh Ji to seek blessings for their newly born child. Keeping child at Shahenshahji's holy feet she said, the words that we also usually say, that," Babaji bless your child". Shahenshahji said that," Is it my child". Secretary Ram Saran Dass Ji's wife said "Yes". Shahenshahji said that," Then give this child to the bahen standing beside". (Shahenshahji said so because the Bahen did not have her own child and few moments before during namashkar she requested Shahenshahji for a child). Secretary Ram Saran Dass Ji's wife without putting any thoughts to the words and without any hick ups straight away donated the child to the Bahen. Thought of the words that," Secretary Ram Saran Dass Ji and his wife could have produced number of reasons to not to donate their child but they knew one thing that for a gursikh only one reason is strong enough that 'Satguru ki baat manne se hi ZINDAGI SANWAR JAATI HAI'.
Incident of Rev. J. R. D. Satyarthi Ji (Shastri Ji) is mentioned in 'Jeevant Shikshak' book. After Shastriji's son's death Baba Gurubachan Singh Ji said Shastriji that," Kindly complete the funeral process by evening and seek leave from relatives from crematorium itself, as today we have organized a general program opposite red fort and being an open program you have to perform secretaryship sewa". Again thought of the words that," Shastri Ji could have produced number of reasons to not to attend the open satsang program but he knew one thing that for a gursikh only one reason is strong enough that 'Satguru ki baat manne se hi ZINDAGI SANWAR JAATI HAI'.
We all very well know famous poet of our Mission, Rev. Saaki Ji. Once he was admitted to hospital. The period was post Baba Gurubachan Singh Ji's meeting at Mussoorie where along with many decisions Baba Gurubachan Singh Ji signaled at prohibition on use of alcohol and other such intoxicants. Doctor suggested Saaki Ji to not to leave alcohol suddenly and thoda thoda karke chodiyega. Rev. Nirankari Rajmataji said that," Ye sharaab nahi piyenge toh maar nahi jaayenge. Satguru ki baat manne se kabhi kisika nuksaan nahi hota hai". And we all very well know that Saaki Ji lived for many years by not listening to doctor ahead of Satguru. Again thought of the words that," Saaki Ji could have produced number of reasons to drink alcohol but he knew one thing that for a gursikh only one reason is strong enough that 'Satguru ki baat manne se hi ZINDAGI SANWAR JAATI HAI'.
Rev. Vivek Shauq Ji says that in bollywood (king of all glamour) parties he always opt for soft drink instead of alcohol. Many of his actor, producer, director etc friends gets surprised that Vivek Ji do not drink. Everyone comes to Vivek Ji and asks that," Do you drink rarely or you do not drink at all". Vivek Ji replies that," I belong to Sant Nirankari Mission and with grace of Satguru Babaji I have never touched it in my life". And again everyone, with glass in hand, says that," You are really lucky yaar to have such valuable teachings or else look at us; we cannot leave alcohol now". Vivek Ji says that," When I do not drink with these people in parties then it does not mean that I am down market rather I thank Babaji for protecting me from such bad habits". Again thought of the words that," Vivek Ji could have produced number of reasons to drink alcohol but he knew one thing that for a gursikh only one reason is strong enough that 'Satguru ki baat manne se hi ZINDAGI SANWAR JAATI HAI'.
Finally would just like to add an incident here about Rev. D. S. Shauq Ji, who once said in satsang that," Satguru bless us to obey your words as soon as they come in your heart, You do not even have to utter the words from your mouth". After congregation a saint requested that," Shauq Saheb Ji as it seems to be difficult to understand what Satguru might be thinking, hence can you just make the process simpler". Next time Shauq Saheb Ji modified the sentence and said that," Satguru as it seems to be quite difficult to obey words those are only generated in your heart and not yet said, hence please bless us that 'You would say your words only once to us & we would obey and you do not have to repeat anything to us".
If a student secures 70% marks in school or college, his parents never say that you must follow footsteps of those colleagues or seniors who have secured 60%, 45% marks or failed in examinations. They always insist us to look up to those who passed with 90%, 95% or 98% etc. Similarly we may come across peoples (colleagues or seniors) in our nirankari mission who could produce many reasons or state many obstacles etc to not to obey Satguru's words, but being gursikhs of Babaji it's our moral responsibility to look up to only those saints / scholars of our Mission (similar to many such whose examples are stated above here) Jinke liye keval Satguru ke shabad hi jeevan ka aadhar banein aur baaki kisi bhi karnoan, dalilaon, reasons etc. ko unhone jeevan mein jagah nahi di i.e. those who passed with 100% in Nirankari Mission's University (Pradhan Labh Singh Ji,Hrishi Kamal Ji, Bekal Ji,Hrishi Vyas Dev Ji, Prof. Puri Ji, Pandurang Ji...... and many more). The lives of such great saints have always reminded us of those words that
· Satya asatya ki fikar naa kijiye, Satguru ke vachan maan lijiye.
There are number of such instances where we could observe that saints have always given priority to Satguru's words, teachings, philosophies & ideologies above all thoughts, beliefs, reasons, situations etc. But when I was just going through this article I remembered few lines of a great saint who said that," Kya humein apne Satguru ki baatoan ko manne ke liye kucch daliloan, examples ya instances ki zaroorat hai? Kya ye nahi ho sakta ki Babaji aap kaho aur hum bina kisi dalil, hich kichahat, tarq ke bass aapki baat maana karein? Kya itni kamzor hai meri bhakti ki Satguru ke vachanoan par chalne ke liye bhi isse daliloan aur examples ki zaroorat padti hai? Ek gursikh toh woh hota hai jo kehta hai ki
· Yahi hai zindagi apni, yahi hai bandegi apni,
Ki aaye Satguru ke vachan, aur zhukh gayi gardan apni.
When we try to follow our Satguru it may happen that people might laugh at us but just remember words of Babaji that,
· You all laugh at me because I am different, and I laugh at you all because you all are same.
Ek jaise hokar 'asant' banne se, alag hokar 'sant' banana kai gunaa zyaada behtar hai.
