Ajaib Bani

His search for truth began when he was five years old. He met Baba Bishan Das, a sadhu who was to become his first guru and who, as Sant Ji has often said, "made my life." References to Bishan Das abound in Streams in the Desert ; it was the job of this enigmatic figure, a spiritual descendant of Baba Sri Chand, Guru Nanak's son, with his partial knowledge of Surat Shabd Yoga, to prepare his one disciple for his tremendous destiny. In this he was eminently successful: when Ajaib Singh met his ultimate guru, Sant Kirpal Singh of Delhi, he was, thanks to Bishan Das, in a position to take full advantage of the opportunity offered to him. It was Bishan Das who changed his name from "Sardara Singh," an inauspicious, almost meaningless name, to "Ajaib Singh" or "wonderful lion"- "Ajaib" means "strangely wonderful" in Punjabi. Bishan Das accepted, in his own way.

While on duty in the Army His regiment was stationed near Beas in the Punjab for a long time, and here the young seeker made the acquaintance of one of the greatest Saints of our time Baba Sawan Singh Ji, the guru of Sant Kirpal Singh, Ajaib Singh recognized Sawan Singh's stature at once, and begged him for initiation; the Master replied, saying that the One who would initiate him would come to him later by Himself.The Great Master introduced Ajaib Singh to Baba Somanath, a disciple of his who had been working in South India introducing Sant Mat there, telling him that Somanath's background was similar to his, having involved him in a long search and many difficult austerities. This was an important meeting: although the two men had little outer contact after this, both of them were in due course to carry on the spiritual work; and after Baba Somanath left his body in 1976, many of his disciples were to find peace at the feet of Ajaib Singh.

Sant Ji's meeting with Kirpal Singh was unquestionably the turning point and focus of his life: everything before that meeting had led up to it, and everything after derived from it. His association with Baba Sawan Singh and his initiation from Baba Bishan Das were both preliminary, as they themselves explicitly stated: their promise was fulfilled when Kirpal came. The impact that this magnificent Saint had on Ajaib Singh can be judged from the number of - and the quality of - references to him found throughout his discourses, informal talks, and poetry: as he says at many different places in many different ways, "God came in the form of a man."

As we have said, Sant Ji spent the next two years in meditation in the underground room in the ashram at Village 16PS, sitting on a wooden slab and devoting his whole time to Surat Shabd Yoga. He came out of Samadhi a few days before Kirpal Singh left his body, in August 1974, and visited Village 77RB, a few miles away, on the loving invitation of some devotees there; it was there that he learned of his Master's physical departure and, weeping bitterly, went to Sawan Ashram in Delhi to pay his respects.

usahanya mencari kebenaran bermula ketika dia berusia lima tahun. Beliau bertemu Baba Bishan Das, seorang Sadhu yang akan menjadi guru pertama dan yang, seperti Sant Ji telah sering berkata, "telah menjadikan hidup saya." Rujukan kepada Bishan Das banyak terdapat di sungai-sungai di padang gurun; ia adalah tugas angka penuh teka-teki ini, keturunan rohani Baba Sri Chand, anak Guru Nanak, dengan pengetahuan separa beliau Surat Shabd Yoga, untuk menyediakan satu pengikut beliau untuk nasib yang amat besar itu. Dalam hal itu, nyata berjaya: apabila Ajaib Singh bertemu guru beliau muktamad, Sant Kirpal Singh Delhi, dia, terima kasih kepada Bishan Das, dalam kedudukan untuk mengambil kesempatan penuh dengan peluang yang ditawarkan kepadanya. Ia adalah Bishan Das yang menukar namanya daripada "Sardara Singh," kata seorang hell, nama hampir tidak bermakna, untuk "Ajaib Singh" atau "singa indah" - "Ajaib" bermaksud "pelik indah" dalam Punjabi. Bishan Das diterima, dengan cara sendiri.

Semasa bertugas dalam Tentera rejimen beliau ditempatkan berhampiran Beas di Punjab untuk masa yang lama, dan di sini pencari muda membuat berkenalan dengan salah satu daripada Saints terhebat pada era Baba Sawan Singh Ji, guru Sant Kirpal Singh, Ajaib Singh diiktiraf kedudukan Sawan Singh sekali gus, dan memohon kepada-Nya untuk permulaan; Master itu menjawab, mengatakan bahawa Dia yang akan memulakan dia akan datang kepadanya kemudian oleh Himself.The Great Master diperkenalkan Ajaib Singh untuk Baba Somanath, pengikut beliau yang telah bekerja di India Selatan memperkenalkan Sant Mat ada, memberitahunya bahawa ini Somanath latar belakang adalah sama dengan beliau, setelah terlibat dia dalam carian yang panjang dan banyak austerities sukar. Ini adalah mesyuarat yang penting: walaupun kedua-dua lelaki mempunyai hubungan luar sedikit selepas ini, kedua-dua mereka pada masa yang sesuai untuk menjalankan kerja-kerja rohani; dan selepas Baba Somanath meninggalkan tubuhnya pada tahun 1976, ramai murid-murid untuk mencari kedamaian di kaki Ajaib Singh.

mesyuarat Sant Ji dengan Kirpal Singh adalah memang tidak disangkalkan lagi titik perubahan dan fokus hidupnya: segala-galanya sebelum mesyuarat yang telah membawa sehingga ia, dan segala-galanya selepas diperolehi daripadanya. persatuan-Nya dengan Baba Sawan Singh dan permulaan dari Baba Bishan Das kedua-duanya awal, kerana mereka sendiri dinyatakan dengan jelas: janji mereka telah dipenuhi apabila Kirpal datang. Kesan yang Saint indah ini telah pada Ajaib Singh boleh dinilai dari jumlah - dan kualiti - rujukan kepada dia didapati wacana, perbincangan tidak rasmi, dan puisi: seperti katanya di banyak tempat yang berbeza dalam pelbagai cara, " allah datang dalam bentuk seorang lelaki. "

Seperti yang telah kita berkata, Sant Ji menghabiskan dua tahun akan datang dalam meditasi di dalam bilik bawah tanah di ashram di Village 16PS, duduk di atas papan kayu dan menumpukan seluruh masa untuk Surat Shabd Yoga. Dia keluar dari Samadhi beberapa hari sebelum Kirpal Singh meninggalkan tubuhnya, pada bulan Ogos 1974, dan melawat Village 77RB, beberapa batu jauhnya, pada jemputan penyayang beberapa penganut di sana; di sanalah dia belajar berlepas fizikalnya Sarjana dan menangis keras, pergi ke Sawan Ashram di Delhi untuk memberi penghormatan.
