Quotes
from the biography of Beautiful Biography of Sant Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj
Work: “He also used to take wages a
little less and worked a little more.”
“Before,
after and on the way to Baba Ji used to recite first hymn (pauri) of Sri Jap Ji
Sahib.”
Illusion of the world:
“Sometimes Baba Ji
used to say- The world is a beautiful garden but one day we have to leave it.”
Sewaks: “Love of the Guru for his sewaks is
much more than that of mother for her children.”
Kirpa: “Baba ji used to say always beg for
kirpa (mercy), never demand justice from Almighty God.”
What is prayer?: “Baba Ji used to say if somebody is
standing on the rood and some one has come to see him, then that person will
say “come forward, there are stairs, get on the stairs and come up.” Thus the
Guru tells us the right path. Prayer is that stair, which leads us to meet God.
If one prays honestly and sincerely and follows the instruction of his Guru, he
will become part and parcel of the uttered Guru. Remember prayer (bani) and
creator of prayer (Guru) are the same. Prayer is the guide to reach the
destination.” “Bani is Guru and Guru is Bani”
Gurmukh Family: “Suppose hundred persons are
sleeping and only one man is awaken, then, that person can awake all of them.
One becomes Gurmukh, only with the blessing of God. By the grace of Almighty
God, one Gurmukh benefits seven paternal families, seven maternal families and
seven in laws families. Thus 21 families are blessed by 1 Gurmukh in a family.”
Power of Prayer: “If one wants to become very lucky
then one has to recite prayer and do meditation, one may listen or recite but
more important is to act accordingly.”
“Even
a single word of true and sincere prayer will take one to his Lotus feet. By
daily repetition one gathers a great credit in one’s account and Almighty God
is sure to bless that person.”
Relationship to God: “Remember, God is always watching
you. He is nearer than your own hands and feet.”
“We
are like children, not sure of what is right or wrong. We need advice and
guidance of a Guru. He always helps whenever we are in doubt. Guru opens up
goodness and shows the shortest stairs that leads to God.”
“It
is our duty to remember and thank him. We must remember and thank God every
moment. Why should we forget Almighty God who has given everything to us?”
“God
is great and very merciful. He who loves his Guru, nobody can do any harm in
his life time or even after his death.”
Back Biting: “Once Baba Ji said that back biting
habit is not only bad but also harmful. It is normally by manmukh persons and
are also known as Nindak, Gurmukh persons keeps themselves aloof from it.”
“Go
on doing good deeds. Let others feel jealous. Do not leave good deeds. God will
help.”
Manmukh: “Manmukh persons do not try to
understand the reality of life and suffer, because they are full of egoism. In
fact such persons are Nindak or Manmukh or Nastik because they have no fear or
love for God and think themselves always correct.”
Ticket to Heaven: “As we require a ticket to catch a
train, similarly we want a ticket to enter heaven. We get that ticket by
remembering him, reciting his name again and again, singning hymns, by doing
good deeds and by serving Saints.”
Reciting Bani: “We must remember Almighty God, and
should always be thankful to him as he has given us everything. The greatest
sin is to forget Almighty God. Always remember him.”
“We
should recite paatt at least 2 and a half hours everyday. If we recite it in
the early hours of the morning it is beneficial. If we recite it afterwards it
is simple good.”
“If
one recites more than 2 and a half hours of bani a day then that is one’s bank
balance in the bank of Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj.”
“Naam
is a ticket. By nitnem (daily prayer) Guru holds the arm. If the arm of the
Guru is in one’s hand, then everything is there. One can hold Guru’s arms by
daily regular prayer. Those who do not engage in daily prayer float endlessly
on the stream of lustful pleasure.”
“In
the same way more one prays, the nearer to God one reaches. It is, indeed key
to contentment peace and happiness. Naam is the guard against all evils and
dangers, it gives strength and substance to the body, mind, brings the soul
nearer to Almighty God.”
“Paatt
may be recited to or listened to but it should be with due devotion and
respect.”
“Similarly
if one is desirous to do more paath (prayers) then one has to take a suitable
diet and one has to rub a little bit of oil or oil mixed with curd on his body
and head. It helps, in meditation.”
Acts of a Gursikh: “One should clean his mind of all
unkind thoughts, help a person in distress, work honestly, sincerely, give some
of his earnings to the poor and speak the truth.”
“Do
good and forget it”
“Man’s
conduct is of prime importance for his spiritual success. We must strive to
simplify life and live truly.”
“Our
duty is to love him, worship Him and do good deeds. Then one gets blessing and
reaches his lap.”
“Don’t
be proud of anything. Things are God gifted. One should praise good qualities
of others and one should see his own faults and defects. One should not boast
of himself.”
Dust of a saint: “Only fortunate or lucky persons get
the dust of the feet of a true saint. If one rubs on his forehead the very
lines of his hand are changed and luck transverses.”
“Thus
the dust of the feet of a saint is very, very beneficial. It removes egoism and
brings good luck. Only fortunate persons get it.”
“A
saint need no touch a person, but his wishes and presence becomes a healing
force for that person who happens to be in his energy field. “
Anger: “Anger is one of the greatest
enemies. Keep yourself cool and think properly. One comes nearer to God by
speaking polite and kind words. Try to bear, be humble and tolerate things, God
is great and God knows everything.”
Thank the Lord: “One should always be humble, kind,
give away false egoism. If something is achieved or if one has become an
important person then say, “Oh God it is by your Grace it has been done. It is
your kindness that I am enjoying happiness. It is by your kindness that I am
getting all things. We should thank God every moment.”
Sins: “If we pray from our heart on the
holy feet of the Satguru in all our humility then he pardons, all our previous
account of sins held by Dharmraj and thus all sins are wiped off. The heart
stands purified and illuminated with the grace of Satguru and totally fresh new
holy pire chapter of life begins thereafter.”
“Do
not do what you would undo if caught.”
“By
meditation all sinful mistakes and faults are erased and he keeps the honour of
his humble devotee.”
Pain: “Pain, pleasure, dare not touch
such a Gurmukh whose Atam (soul) ever is blooming with illumination.”
The Human Body: “The body is merely the temple of Almighty God
Sukhmani Sahib Bani: “Paath of Sri Sri Sukhmani Sahib is
more beneficial if we add ‘Sukhmani Sukh
Amrit Prabh Naam, Bhagat Jana Kai Man Bisraam’, before each salok and add ‘Satnam Sri Waheguru Ji’ before each
astpadi.”
True Sikh: “Only a true lover can have his
glimpse, if you want to learn, follow the instructions of your Guru.”
“Do
not try to be over-clever, over-smart. He is antaryami (omniscient). He knows
your nerves.”
“Try
to behave like a student who is desirous to know; wants to learn and not to act
as teacher or Guru.”
“Things
can be put only in empty vessel and not in a vessel if it is already full.”
Japji Sahib: “The paath of Sri Jap Ji Sahib is
very important and beneficial particularly in the morning hours. Take a bath at
midnight and then recite the paath of Sri Jap Ji Sahib, one would get mukti
(salvation) soul liberation.”
Kirtan: “Baba Ji desired that a kirtaniya
should complete a paath of Sri Jap Ji Sahib and one mala of first pauri before
he should start kirtan in the morning. Do kirtan with complete devotion.”
Satsang: “Meditation and satsang create a
heavenly atmosphere while living in this world. While attending satsang we
often get chances of the glimpses of holy and pious persons and if lucky enough
then by their blessings rub the dust of their feet on the forehead, thus not
only the harsh stairs are covered in a shorter period but one is also saved
from the drastic fire of hell.”
“Sangat
is the roop (reflection) of Guru”
“Take
part in Satsang, Satsang brings nearer to God. Leave aside ego, lust, greed,
which keeps one away from God.”
Nirgun and Sirgun: “God is visible (Sirgun) as well as
invisible (Nirgun). His invisible power works everywhere, It is better to
worship him in visible (Sirgun form).”
“Mool
mantar is nirgun but from ‘Jap’ onward it is sirgun. “
Parents: “Serve your parents, everything is
at home, spend time in the company of truthful and good persons.”
“Respect
elders and especially mother, father and teacher Guru. Teacher Guru is
pathfinder and generously shares his knowledge with his disciples. “
“One
should not unnecessarily discuss with elders and seniors, try to obey them.”
Singhnia: “If a Sadhu does meditation for 12
years, a married man for 1 year and a married woman for 1 month, all
meditations are equal. Ladies are so much blessed.”
Langar: “The act of preparing food for bhog
should be done with pure heart and feelings.”
Entering Diwan: “One should say Satnam Waheguru
Jee before entering Satguru Jee’s room.”
Forgiveness: “God does not forgive those who
outwardly say or who are evil at heart. He forgives those who admit their sins,
faults and wrong doings with clean and pure heart.”
Death: “After death the soul remains here
for another 10 days. As in the marriage of a girl, gifts given also go with
her, similarly, paath or other pun (pious work) done by one’s relatives or
friends for him within ten days are credited to that person and go with that
soul. So it is beneficial, if one’s friends and relatives help the departed
soul. A bad deed can harm at any time, in the same way a good deed may prove
very beneficial at any time.”
“Almighty
God has given us life, so it is to be led as per his directions.”
“True
love is unselfish and expects no return. Shri Guru Nanak Dev jee is sure to
bless.”
“God
knows everything. Only respect, regard or love is required.”
