Brief Life Sketch – Kirpal Singh

Compassionate Heart

The Master’s life is studded with significant events that shine like guiding stars. At the age of twelve, He chanced to read of an incident in the life of Saint Ramanuja, who called together at the village folk, and divulged to them the secret instruction he had received from his Master. Threatened with dire consequences of violating his initiation vows he just said that he did not mind going to hell, for it would entail suffering to just one man – himself –, whereas all these people will get salvation. This incident made a deep impression on Him and He used to think that if ever He got the gift of Spirituality, He would distribute it freely to all who happened to come His way.
