Brief Life Sketch – Kirpal Singh

God first, World next

After passing His matriculation examination in 1911, He pondered over the question: what was His aim in life? It took Him seven days of intense dwelling on the subject discussing the problem from all possible angles, and with a firm resolve,

God first and the world next,

and since taking that resolve He never once looked back.

He had, through purity of mind and sincere devotion, developed transvision. At times during meditation He would look into the past and the future. He prayed to God that these Divine Powers be kept in reserve for Him, that He should pass His earthly life as an average man that if anyone were to benefit through Him, He Himself should not know of it.
