August 1901

From Jaimal Singh: Warm regards to my obedient son, Babu Sawan Singh, and to Basant Singh, Chanan Singh, Sunder Singh, and Babu Gajja Singh.

In an earlier postcard I had written about my visit; that programme still stands even though I am unwell. When the previous letter was written to you, I was very seriously ill, but now I am somewhat better. Bibi Ji also was seriously ill with dysentery. When I feel better, by the Grace of the compassionate Hazur, I will write and let you know. A letter from Chacha Ji came from Agra: the construction of the rooms is in progress; the workers are busy. If you feel like it, send 200 rupees by money order to Chacha Ji at this address in Agra: Seth Lala Pratap Singh Ji, Brother of Hazur Swami Ji Maharaj, Panna Gali, Agra City. Send the money order like this, and also include in it your name and a message, if any. Let me know by return post whether or not you have sent the money order. 

Everyone else is urged to continue with Bhajan and Simran every day, because without Bhajan and Simran the mind does not stay in its place. If the Inner Longing for Bhajan is there every day, the mind remains unaffected by worldly attractions. Therefore, you are strongly reminded to do your Bhajan and Simran.

This letter has been written in Urdu because I have been sick. Keep in mind that when you receive a letter in Urdu it means that I am ill. 

Best regards from Bibi Ji to you, her true brother. Please accept warm greetings from all the residents of the Dera. Do not worry now about my illness as this is His will. I have discovered that whenever I think of going to Murree, I fall ill – I do not know what is the will of Hazur Swami Ji in this respect. We all remember you with every moment. You should not become perturbed, but keep your mind inwardly engaged; the fruit of darshan will come to you. 

The other platoon, the Twenty-Fourth, has arrived at Jhelum after returning from China. All the Satsangi servicemen from your department have kept on sending warm regards to you and to everyone else. Ever since they went to China, in every letter that they wrote they wished all the best to all the Satsangis living with you.
