The Master’s Message on the Birth Anniversary of Baba Sawan Singh Ji

17 July 1970

Oh man! Thou have come into the world to make a profitable business of dealing with the merchandise of Naam which never fails. But alas, thou art engaged in fruitless and bewildering things of life. The night of earthly life is nearing its end. Those who do not reach the shore now, how can they cross when dead?

Hari Naam is the essence of all religions. All religions are deeply rooted in the Naam. There is no religion Higher than that of the Naam. Verily, verily the True Study of Naam, which is the Bread of Life.

He who knows how to die while living drinks Amrit, the Water of Life, which gives Everlasting Life. Therefore learn to die while living at the feet of a Living Master. My Master, Baba Sawan Singh, instilled in me that we do really live when we are in contact with Naam, the Word, which can be given by One Who is Word made flesh living on earth. Without that, there is no life. Very great and all powerful is the Naam, controlling us in the body. We cannot live without its shelter even for a moment. Time and tide wait for no man; please do hurry before it is too late.

Love,
Kirpal Singh
