Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

One time Bhai Gurpal Singh Ji was going towards Maharashta with his nephew in a truck. As they were travelling they noticed some chickens crossing the road. Bhai Sahib stopped their truck and followed the chickens which had accumulated near a pond. Bhai Gurpal Singh Ji then shot at some of the chickens which fell into the pond. Bhai Gurpal Singh Ji’s nephew immediately ran towards the pond to try and retrieve the dead chickens. As he was doing this he fell into the pond and began to cry out for help. Bhai Gurpal Singh Ji seeing his nephew’s plight quickly jumped into the pond. As Bhai Gurpal Singh Ji tried to take hold of his nephew he noticed a snake wrapping itself around his leg as it began to drag him and his nephew deeper into the pond.

At that moment Bhai Gurpal Singh Ji began to think of Sant Gyani Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale. As he did this he had a vision of Mahapursh doing the chaur seva of Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj.* When Bhai Sahib regained consciousness he noticed that his nephew and him had drifted to the edge of the pond. After crawling out of the pond they were surprised to note that they were completely unharmed.

Following this episode Bhai Sahib and his nephew went to see Mahapursh. Sant Ji looked at Bhai Gurpal Singh Ji and lovingly told him “killing any living thing is a mahapaap. In the future never forget this and never do this again”. Bhai Sahib and his nephew then did an ardas to Guru Sahib to help them follow this bachan.

*From this I believe that Sant Ji was trying to show Bhai Sahib that when we do an ardas we should always think of only our beloved Guru, Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Dhan Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji Maharaj of who Sant Ji is a beloved sevadaar.

Akho Satnam Sri Waheguru.
