Blind Faith of a Saint

Blind Faith of a Saint

This is the true story of 19th Century Saint Karam Singh who spent his life as Divine Saint and this story expresses a faith is such a great thing. Please read below:

Saint Karam Singh was Havaldar (Soldier) in British Army (That time India was a colony of Great Britain). Saint was very regular with his Nitnem (Recitation of 5 Lessons in a Day in Sikh Religion). His mind never wandered while reciting Gurbani, doing Seva or Simran. One evening as he was about to start reciting Rehraas Sahib, he thought of sitting at a quiet place so that he could fully enjoy the recitation of Gurbani. Wearing simple clothes, he sat down in solitude and started the recitation of Rehraas Sahib. During the recitation, he started repeating a particular line of Gurbani with great love. This line was from Guru Ram Das Ji’s Gurbani (written in Holy Book of Sikhs, Guru Granth Sahib).

ਤੇਰੇ ਭਗਤ ਤੇਰੇ ਭਗਤ ਸਲਾਹਨਿ ਤੁਧੁ ਜੀ ਹਰਿ ਅਨਿਕ ਅਨੇਕ ਅਨੰਤਾ॥
(Your devotees, Your devotees praise You, Dear Lord, in many and various and countless ways.)

While repeating this line of Gurbani, he went into a state of Samadhi. His duty hours steadily started passing by. Subedar Ahmed Rehman used to be extremely jealous of the exalted status granted to Saint. He used to continuously approach officers and lodge complaints against Sant Karam Singh. The officers though paid scant regard to his complaints. One day while he was on a round, he saw that Havaldar Saint Karam Singh was not on his duty. The Subedar thought, that this was a good opportunity and since the officer in charge that day was a British officer, he could show to him that Saint Karam Singh was absent from duty and as a result all his previous complaints would also be upheld. Additionally, he thought this was a great opportunity to reduce the esteem that Saint Karam Singh was held in. As he was about to go to the officer, he thought it would be pertinent to just doubly confirm that Saint was indeed not around. As he was looking around, he saw a Sikh sitting in solitude. On going near, he recognized the Sikh to be Saint Karam Singh who was now in a state of total Samadhi (Deep Meditation). The Subedar, then quickly went to the officer and brought him to the place where Saint was supposed to be on duty and to the great surprise of the Subedar, Saint was there and He quickly and smartly saluted them. The Havaldar was standing at his duty spot, fully alert!! The officer was very happy to see Saint there and asked him a few questions to which he got the right answers. Just for his own satisfaction, the Subedar then again went to the place where Saint was sitting in Samadhi (Meditation) and to his greatest astonishment, Saint was right there, still in a state of Samadhi (Meditation). The Subedar again rushed to the British officer and after saluting him said “Sir, Saint is sitting in a state of Samadhi (Meditation)”. The officer said “Subedar, has the fear of punishment taken over you as a result of which you are seeing two of everything?”. The Subedar said, “I swear by Allah that I am saying the truth. Come and see for yourself”. On the persistence of the Subedar, the British officer went to the place where the Subedar had seen Saint in a state of Samadhi and to his great surprise, he saw Saint there deeply engrossed in a state of Samadhi (Meditation). The officer went back to the place where Saint was on duty and Saint was present there as well. On doing this three times, he was taken aback to see there was not the slightest difference in both of them. The officer then took off his cap, bowed before Saint and said “Subedar , the honor of God’s devotee is always upheld”. The officer went back to his office, amazed by the compassion and kindness shown by the Almighty. When Saint came out of his state of Samadhi (Meditation), he realized that he had been absent from duty for many hours. Even then, he wore his uniform and reported for duty. On completing his duty for the day, he thought that he would go to office the next morning , admit his fault and accept any punishment that would be meted out to him. Engrossed in such thoughts, Saint retired for the night. He woke up next day at Amrit Vela (Early Morning), took bath and completed his Nitnem (Recitation of 5 Lessons in a Day in Sikh Religion).

Saint Karam Singh goes to office and prepares to dedicate his life to the service of the Almighty Saint Karam Singh got ready and reached office. The officer on duty the previous night was narrating the nights events to the people present in the office. All officers and officials were engrossed in thinking about what they had just heard. As soon as Saint entered the office, all of them reverentially stood up and with bowed heads requested Saint to take a seat. Saint said “Sahib Ji (Sir), please listen to me first. I was absent from duty for quite some time last night. So either grant me pardon or punishment as per the rules”. The office on duty said “Punishment for what? You were present at both places. At one place you were on government duty, at the other you were engrossed in God’s service”. The officer showed Saint the register on which he had obtained Saint’s signatures and humbly said that he was present on duty at the said time. When Saint saw the signatures, he realized that they were exactly the same as his own. At that time, Saint resolutely declared that if “My Guru Gobind Singh (Tenth Master of Sikh Religion) can be at the service of his servant, then I will spend the rest of my life meditating on Him”. All the officers said in unison that they would not remove Saint’s names from the rolls of the Army. Saint replied saying that his name had now been written at the feet of the Almighty. No register now contains my name. On hearing this, the officers opened up the registers that contained Saint's name and to their great surprise, the locations that had Saint's name had now gone blank. Event the location on the register on which Sant Ji’s name had been written the previous night had now gone blank. Saint then repeated that now his name had been written at the feet of Guru Maharaj (Almighty). He said that now he would spend his life in the remembrance and singing the praises of the True King. The officers again pleaded that “spend your days in meditation at any place you like but spend the nights with the battalion”. Saint replied that he would spend as much time as he could with the battalion but he would not promise anything. Due to the blessings arising as a result of Saint’s meditation, a small seasonal rivulet that flowed a little away from village Bagdade (which was a little distance from Hoti Mardan) now became a little river and became known as the Kalpani river. The water that flowed in the river was very clean and Saint used to sit on the banks of the river and meditate on the Almighty.
