Lots of Love from Jaimal Singh to my obedient son, Babu Sawan Singh, Babu Hari Ram, Babu Mohan Singh, Ram Piara, Chanan Singh, and to all the Satsangis and Satsangi sisters there, and also to the Satsangis of Murree Hills.

May the Grace and Mercy of the compassionate Hazur, and of the beloved Lord, always be with you.

The Master in His Shabd form, my son, is always with us – He is protecting you with each and every breath.

Your letter giving an account of your moving to Khairagali has been received. I am delighted to read about your health. It is my wish that you proceed immediately to your area, where you will get better as you become more active. Continue as before to daily take the fresh ghee sent by Ma Ji. In my previous letter I had written that at Khairagali you should start drinking milk as well. Please see if it suits you. If digesting both becomes a problem, give up the milk but continue to take the ghee every day.

In your letter to me you have asked for Mercy. My son, you are already forgiven.

To do nothing outside the instructions of the Satguru – that is called forgiveness. You also write that you do not ask even for Sach Khand, that you always beg only for Love and faith in the Satguru and devotion for His Holy Feet. This, my son, is the foremost Spiritual Task. He who has an unshakeable Love and devotion for the Satguru, who has surrendered to Him with a True Heart, and whose heart is always imbued with Love for the Satguru’s Holy Feet – that is, his mind has realised that the Satguru is not a mere man, but is the doer of everything, that He is Sat Nam, Sat Purush, Alakh, Agam, Anami, the Master of all and everything, and that there is no one greater than his Satguru – such a True Devotee will reach Sach Khand. He will merge in Alakh, Agam, and Anami, in the ultimate realm of wonder. 

So listen to the Shabd Dhun every day. By listening repeatedly, becoming purified, Love and devotion for the Satguru will become fixed in your mind and soul. Thus one merges into that which one loves. So take the self out, my son, then only the Satguru, the doer of all worldly and Spiritual Activities, will remain. There is always Grace and Mercy upon you.

A letter has come from Pritam Singh in which he writes that he has taken alcohol. He asks forgiveness and says that he will not drink again. He also mentions that he will be going to see brother Sawan Singh. So now I will request the compassionate Hazur to forgive him.

Bibi’s best wishes to you, her dear brother, and to all the other Satsangis. You write that the rains are very heavy. That is good. The Lord will do all the work, my son. Have no apprehension, do the work fearlessly as Hazur Swami Ji will have you do it.

Please convey warm regards to Kaka Ram and Gali Ram.

Tell them to do Bhajan, and also to do Simran and always keep it in mind while working or moving around. Of course, this has to be done when free, but they should not forget it even while moving around – because the breaths we take and the morsels we eat are all numbered.
