1970 – Message for Remembrance of Hazur Sawan Singh
July 17, 1970
OH MAN! Thou has come into the world to make a profitable business of dealing with the merchandise Naam which never fails. But alas, thou are engaged in fruitless and bewildering things of life. The night of earthly life is nearing ist 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 ist the 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
