The Story of the Yogi

One day a yogi was sitting in the remote Himalaya mountains doing his worship and Hazur gave him darshan. Having given him a taste of the Sound Current, he said,

Look, yogi, if you want to take up the Path to meet God, then come to me at Beas.

The yogi became very happy having received this darshan.

As he had sat so long doing his worship, the yogi’s legs had gotten very weak and it was difficult for him to move. He thought,

What should I do now?

Because of his wounds of Love, he could not remain. Going very, very slowly, he reached Beas after six months.

When he came to Beas, Hazur Maharaj was on the dais in all His splendour giving Satsang. The yogi reached the dais, and having made obeisance, he grasped Hazur’s hand saying,

Baba Ji, You have raised me up. In Your feet is the lotus line. When You gave me darshan, then I saw the lotus mark. You gave me the order to come to Beas for recognition. Now You please show Your right foot.

Hazur’s feet were hidden; He didn’t let them show in Satsang.

When Hazur came to the house after Satsang, the yogi persisted. He saw the clear marking on Hazur’s foot. The yogi said,

Hazur Ji, by coming this distance I have been awakened from a deathly sleep, now the blindness is disappearing,

and he made a prayer that he should be granted the precious gift of Naam. Hazur replied to these words,

See here, you are a yogi, I am a householder.

The yogi said,

I am not even a king, but You are the very Almighty Himself.

Hazur said,

All is the Lord’s play, I also am nothing.

Satguru Ji, the Essence of Life, such a Great Being, never left off His modesty. Having been given the gift of Naam and understanding the two self-sufficient Inner Practices, the yogi stayed at Dera Beas for one month.

Then Hazur said,

All right, now you go do your Bhajan in solitude.

The yogi replied,

Very well.

And having given the yogi Love Parshad, Hazur bade him farewell with much affection.

The yogi was very happy with the riches of Naam. He said,

The True Lord has made the Path available which has been forgotten for so many years. I give thanks for the Great Blessings bestowed upon me.

Hazur said.

See, everything was inside. I gave you nothing. I have only put to you the knowledge of the right Path. Your time had come; now it is here. Don’t look ahead or behind. Now you have been put right, Naam is with you and Satguru is with you. This very thing is all that remains.

The yogi said,

Hazur, Your words are true, I will do as You say.
