Circular Letter No. 69

Military service I

For the Information of all Initiates

18 August 1969

Dear Reno Sirrine and Khanna Ji;

Every citizen has an obligation towards the country in which he is born. If that country ist threatened by an invader, then it is the duty of every man and woman, in accordance with their mental and physical abilities, to serve their country.

Baba Jaimal Singh (the Master of Hazur Baba Sawan Singh), served in the army for 34 years, and saw active service. I have written a biography, entitled "Baba Jaimal Singh – His Life and Teachings", which may be referred to by the dear ones for an account of His Life during and after his active army career.

Similarly, both Hazur Baba Sawan Singh Ji and myself served with the military in connection with the construction and accounts work in the field under fire.

With regard to the dietary regulations, every effort should be made to adhere to it to the best one can in the circumstances that one finds themself. Similarly, time to the spiritual practices should also be given daily to the extent one can. The greater the effort that is made by the disciple to live up to the Teachings in any or all circumstances, the more grace and protection that will be given by the gracious Master Power working overhead.

With all love and best wishes,
Yours affectionately,

Kirpal Singh
