Bhandara Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Stories | Ishwar Puri (Part 10 of 10)

Video Description: Welcome friends to this final day of our program, post-bhandara meeting today. The advantage of an event like this is whatever experience we have here…we take them with us to make more progress. Some people say can’t we have continuous bhandara all year long…there is a difference when you come here care-free when you go back to your home then the attention gets divided therefore it becomes more difficult to get same kind of experiences as we get here. Some small progress you can feel you an add on to it. There is good time to review- let’s carry it with us. Sometime even 1 min Q&A which are coming in your way for spiritual growth. Some questions I dont know how to answer…one lady asked me I want you to tell me how I can find a husband who should be very smart, good looking etc What answer will you give. I will say mam go to the casual plane look at your akashic record and see if that person exist and then I will help you to find him. If wishes were horses beggars will ride on them. People ask me question about wishes…I am not a tactful person in responding. From India there was a restriction how much currency you can carry outside the country. One day the Govt in India reduced that amount from $6 to $4. I came by Swiss Air and spend $4 there in airport. So I called a friend..she said go to the board list of hotels sometime they have own cars to pickup for free. So I called one of the hotels…there car came. They asked for show me your credit-card- I said what is that. I do greeting card…we can’t check you in. Sit in the lobby we won’t throw you out. Can I make a collect call…that friend of mine in middle of night go to Best Western Office wire the money and early morning I was able to checking. So I had sometime you have no idea where you have situation where these problems come up. In beginning I thought very difficult country to go to. But now, I feel so comfortable…there are many other things but gradually I found there are some powers that solve all problems. The point I am making is when we have experience and go away we learn from these experiences its not merely learning from good things even obstacles we learn. I know some people coming from likes snow…they like to ski. I had promised on this day I am not giving discourse- I have given plenty.

9min- I will tell you some stories! Story of my dear friend…Isher Singh โค A simple man by his hard work was able to get a degree in vetenary science. He was able to treat cat, dogs, horses, elephants, camels. He was hired by the price of one of the states (Kapurthala). He was hired by the ruling prince there and that place was about 20miles away from GM Dera โค This doctor he was very much in search of true master and every master he meets but not satisfied. He tried their methods, yoga etc. but they did not work. Finally, some neighbours of his were disciples of the GM and he happened to met them because of their animal got sick. They said a Great master lives near bank of river Beas. GM comes on weekends as he is employed in a job as civil engineer. If you get a chance go on weekend and he has a weekly satsang. Comes on Sat. gives a discourse on evening and Sunday morning and go back to his work. This doctor said I will go an explore. He went along river bank on his bicycle. 3-4miles passed but no hut or dera. So he says there must be something wrong…he goes as far as 8miles and see a ferry bridge. A boat man is there he asked him I was told there was dera here. You are making a mistake he is on other side of the river. Go back and come back other side. I dont want to go back I want to meet the master. Can’t you take me by boat. But it will only take you to small village and you have to go via jungle. Reluctantly that boat man takes him with Isher’s bicycle. He walks along the bank and eventually in the early morning he reaches there. He knocks on the door…a woman with a angry face comes out. How dare you come at this time! She uses some bad words also. He is so shocked…he knows her name he knows this woman was a disciple of great master’s master’s master! Very disappointedly he goes back…this woman is so mad and angry. In morning, he meet his neighbour and says you are wrong. The neighbours laugh at him and said master played a trick on you. What kind of game is this? Master plays a trick you went to see a master you never saw him! Master just proved to you when you went to find truth go for the master shut your eyes to anybody else. He just tested you and you failed! If you go next time same woman is most peaceful woman. It’s master’s game. Can’t believe but I will test it again. This time he knew where to go. It was evening time master finished his discourse Dr goes and says I came to see you…the woman apologised for that day. He said master have convinced me you give naam and that is the real secret we can go back home. Master said are you ready? ISher says yes…Master says have you broken your right arm? Isher said is that a requirement. GM says in your case you get initiated after your right arm is broken. Break your arm, heal and then you will be initiated. He goes back and his wife maya says where have you been. She said the prince has been calling you all day. I didnt know where you are. Isher ran there…some animal must be sick. King asked where were you? Isher said I went to see GM…a spiritual master. King said I waited all day this morning I got new horses from Arabia! I want you to ride with you. Isher said King I won’t ride horse and break my arm. Isher said I heard I will break my arm by falling from a horse. For my face sake just come just sit on the horse I will sit along with you. You go down and I will ride. Dr said yes that’ all right. Isher try to get up but horse runs off Ishwer gets multiuple fracture ๐Ÿ˜ฆ He said master is real! After he fractured he returned back to master for initiation but he didn’t heal yet. Master said you need it to be healed. Dr said its calcification for life. How do you heal the horses? We put strong acid…GM said why don’t you try that treatment? He said no master no its so painful…GM said dilute the acid. So Dr tried that treatment and he is able to pull his arm back to his ears and then went back for initiation. GM said now you are ready. When he made so much sacrifice he valued it more than other people did! Then he said I have come into this life my mother passed away, father is nearest relative so best thing I can do is to get him initiated. So he went to his father said bapu I want you to get initiated..by getting naam daan. Dad said don’t talk about that we are Sikhs and only believe in holy book and book is the only guru. Isher said see him once…but dad said I will never see him. Master I want my dad to be initiated…he said yes one day he will be initiated. When time comes a person totally a non-believer becomes a believer via certain events…its karmic. I tell you Isher Singh you bring him to me that’s your job, its my job then to initiate him. One day GM going by train somewhere. He said no connection with dera so told his dad I have some work at station would you like to come along with me? He said okay..dad got his horse…and they both went in time for GM to be on the track. Dad can you hold my horse and come back. So dad said alright. Isher went down and said Master….still 10min for train I brought my father upstairs. Can you come and give him darshan. GM said let’s run and they both ran! Ran to the top…dad had gone…Isher horse was there and he suspected a game being played. Then Isher came back home but thought no other way but early morning he find a rope and when dad was sleeping he took rope and tied him up. He had a horse cart to take him to dera. He tied up bed with dad and put it on horse. And dad cried have you gone mad…all neighbours came out. My father has gone mad…I am taking him to hospital. Take him as fast as you can. Father tied up on a belt approaches the dera…GM watching the scene and then GM gets up and said Ishwer what is this? He said I brought my father. GM said you are such a bad son look you have injured his hands and legs. Father said that’s what I have been telling him. Isher Singh thought what will happen…GM come out and said Isher go and come back after 3 days. He goes away…after 3 days away he see a strange scene father is standing in front of GM. Bapu is that you? He said you never explained to me who he is…he teaches the same thing in the living form. Do you know how lucky I am only this morning I got initiated. Don’t try Isher technique here…it works in good old days. Such is remarkable way…Isher Singh had 3 sons…and wanted them get initiated.

35min- Isher Singh had 3 sons and he wanted to get them initiated. One of the sons went for a swim and never got back as water were infested with crocodiles. He went to master as they couldnt find the body. Master said whatever is the will has to prevail. Then, he goes out 8 days past…and his relatives said pull out if you cant find body. Master travelling one day and Isher met him and he said he couldnt put up with taunts from his relatives. Master said its so important for you…you didn’t see bend of the river…so he goes there and body is found. So he is satisfied at least body is found but wife is not happy as son is lost. Master said he has been taken care of because of Ishwer Singh. No I want him back…do you really want him back? Yes, when did you have last child…9 years…OK he will come back to you. Have another child. So, they went away. She got pregnant, gave birth to child…same child came back. After child was growing up Isher went are you sure its same soul? So he used to believe word of GM…2nd child was born who died shortly after that. 1st one grew up and I saw him. So he did work and doing well as an engineer. Life is full of so many things that we cannot understand how destiny operates. Master do not want to change the destiny but intervene if its effecting our spiritual growth. The general rule is we should accept our destiny. If we change all events then you are taking a detour on your spiritual journey.

42min- Destiny with good and bad things. We all have that kind of destiny, otherwise we won;r be human-beings. It’s a normal course of human life. If it’s unbearable…surely Master will make it bearable. He will never make it so bad that you can’t do your meditation or forget the master. When you get the sound practice listening and catching the sound that resemblance a bell. Remember an actual event of how you saw the master works as dhyaan. And have an attitude of love and devotion and your meditation will be successful. Many of the emailers cried a lot yesterday (at night, after meditation etc.) Why do people cry? What is happening when they cry? Some when they see me first time they cry. Reason is this is a cry coming from the soul…soul is crying for something and waiting for and cry of rejoicing, cry for cleansing. Cry is a part of seeking. I am referring to this as it does so many things. One wrote to me- after crying he was living in some other world. He wrote- crying seem to have wiped out something that he couldn’t see. So earlier it happens, better it is for us. Sometime we are missing the master can make you feel like crying. I will end up one more story before interview about the same guy. He is such a beautiful friend. When he was old (Isher Singh) he used to call me “Puri Sahab” I have drawn more tension than salary! He was just a great fellow. When he was so happy he wanted GM to visit his town. I will organise small gathering in my house and had buffalo and cows tied up but GM said I will come. You arrange a car so I can be t here. There were 2 rich people (Professor and Judge- Dariya Lal). So those 2 people had good cars and he requested them and they said yes. One of the cars went…Isher worked hard to cleaning up the place for master to come. Master came and people were waiting…master’s car came and drove by right through…never stopped there. People in the car were prof and judge took them to their own homes as they made arrangements for him. GM said I will stay somewhere else…so they went back in car and went to judge’s car and there they got out so take master in. But GM said, that poor man Isher Singh is waiting. He goes into fields outside for both No. 1 and No. 2. GM said I can do all that. While this is happening…Isher friends and relatives were criticising him. Everybody left and Ishew locked room inside and cried…you promised you will come to my house, what is the value of love. Master car comes back…and walked alone. He knocks at the door…Isher said Go away…master said this is Sawan Singh outside and he opened the door and Isher Singh crying even more. GM said I will stay here and satang will be at home. That crying brings tears into my eyes. Isher gave him a pair of shoes and he locked them up…they remind me of master everyday. I come to America by then in Harvard University. There was a friend of mine (Roy Call?) who was a great disciple and wanted to go to India with me. Master had died and he travelled with me. Then I said I want you to meet my friend Isher Singh. So I took Roy there and Isher Singh saw him. Isher has told me you have a pair of shoes. He was touched by Roy’s respect for Master’s shoes. Isher took a robe and gave it to Roy. This story of Isher Singh again…wonderful person it show what love of master can do to you. It is infinite love it changes your perspective whether you have seen anything inside or not. That is why these stories effected me and inpsired me. I hope you have great experiences and hope to see you again next year.
