His Children Will All Come Together

His children will all come together Talk given by by Dr Harbhajan Singh, January 1, 1991

Sant Kirpal Singh said, „My children are scattered in the world. A time will come when they will all get together, and there will be a revolution of spirituality.“ How He sends His children into the world, all over the world, that is His work. And moreover He said that everyone has the contact, everyone has the background. So up to now, at least we have understood that the purpose of each one of us is one and the same. This purpose (of a human being) will never differ. I think this is possible because He brought us on one firm footing. And without selfless service, really, we cannot sit together. If we work in one field, then we are the co-workers. And Master gave this work, it was His intention to give it, and He has given it to us. Now some of our brothers and sisters, those who were initiated by the Master Himself, (before His physical departure), some of them feel that Master could wind up all His work. But there (in Kirpal Sagar) He told to do something. So it has a special significance, there is a special reason for it, why He did so.

the Master with you and you all remain close like this.“ He told little, little signs which were full of meanings and we could make the best use of it. Master gave one example: Master said, „Gods and goddesses, they work with four hands, whereas the man works with two hands. A time comes, when that Power can work with thousands of hands.“ Whereas you know, Master most of the time told, „I have no person with me who can work, who can help me.“ One time we were sitting there, Chandigarh people were there, we were there. Master said, „If you come here and do some work, it will be more easy for Me.“ But during His lifetime we never knew that Master ever needed the help of some persons. At that time we saw no reason (to do anything) except to surrender and said, „No, now Master is every support, Master doesn‘t need the help of anybody. He is the Doer, everything is okay.“ But during His own time He wanted physical help. And Master said that physically, spiritually He had to work a lot.

And mostly, whenever some programme was made, we told to do differently. We said, „Master, this is the easiest way. You should do it like this – let us do it the easiest way.“ Many times it happened like this. I never wanted that Master should rush from one house to another house. In India there were very many problems during the time of Master. While in Amritsar on His last tour, some people only wanted to bring Him to their shops, to their houses. One person had On August 21, before Sant Kirpal Singh left His body, already started a big work, and he wanted to take the and this intravenous glucose infusion was given, He Master to his store. And Master had to go there. It was most of the time pressing His hand like this (fin- was a store for little, little seeds, out of which medigers round the thumb). I thought that, due to this cine is made. This man used to send it everywhere glucose He felt some sensation, and maybe therefore in the world. And he brought the Master to his store He was doing like this. But then Master Himself ex- which was full of this seed. So we never liked that plained, „After me, you live like this!“ Then I asked, Master should do like this. „Master, what do you mean by it?“ Master said, „Keep And we all are fulfilling the wish of the Master. Most of the things we have already explained to all of you, and you know all those things. But the main thing, which Master always tells us again and again, that is how to live together, and by living together, how to learn lots of things. We really learn how to work in the Mission of the Master.

Then another person came, he had got some land, „Yes, we have heard about spirituality, but we never and (he said to Master) „Before we start, we want to knew how it was dealt with. Only today we knew have Your presence there.“ And it was far from the that it is a subject of the heart, and not of the head.“ city, but anyhow, Master went there. I said, „Master, And some persons who had already been initiated well, You stay here, You can see it from far away, it by some masters, they even did not move. Master is no problem. Why do You go to the very proper caught hold (of) their attention so much, that after site?“ Because the car could not go there, and it was the Satsang was over, they said, „Doctor, your Master such a long distance which was not easy for the Mas- really is a Master. Your Master is something, that we ter to walk. But very few people thought that Master cannot explain. Alas, we also need such a Master!“ is bound in this world with physical body due to us. I said, „Then, where is the hindrance, you can have He is the Word-personified-form, but He has to bear Him! No problem.“ But people say that to change a lots of our karmas and sins upon His own shoulder, Master is a sin. I said, „Yes, it is a sin. But master must and He did it. While in Amritsar, Master said, „How be a Master. If he is not the Master, then to change many people really want the Master?“ Then a woman him is no problem – you can change him!“ came who put some ques-tions to Master, which Master would not follow. And Master asked me, „Doctor, And then in the evening, we all gathered there. And do you understand what she tells?“ I said, „Master, this was the evening when Master told about His I don‘t understand.“ Then Master said, „Okay, well, further Mission. He said, those who did some work, you go.“ She went. Another person came, he had some selfless service, they were very happy. But dursome beautiful suits for his daughter. Both wife and ing the time of the Master, there were some persons husband came, they had to celebrate the marriage who never wanted to cooperate with each other. So of their daughter. And this time I was sitting with if you think that we live with different thought, then Master and Master was dealing with everyone. Then where is the necessity of a Master?

had to look after the stage of the Master, – it was a big stage we had made – lest he may not put anything (some explosives) under it. And then we were very conscious about the whole Sangat. Those persons used to come in the Sangat and they used to create problems. They always told so many things against our Master. So this time we were very conscious. So those who were working day and night, they were sitting, they were tired and sitting at the holy feet of the Master, and those persons, who never wanted to obey the Master but always obeyed the mind, they were mostly standing. So Master said, „To whom? Those, sitting or standing?“

He said, „Master, with Your Grace the time of one year will be finished in six months.“ So he said this from the level of his own intellect. He never knew the competency of his Master, therefore he said like this. Then Guru Gobind Singh asked another disciple. He said, „Master, even this can be minimized to three months.“ Then Guru Gobind Singh asked Bhai Daya Singh, „Well, Bhai Daya Singh, how much time will you take if you are handled like this?“ Bhai Daya Singh told, „Well Master, where is it said in the teaching, that there is a necessity for the disciple of a competent Master to go with the angel of death? What has he to do? He goes straight to his home. He goes where his Father goes. And what does the FaYou know that all the Masters throughout the world, ther do, what does the Guru do?

This is one problem. If one starts to live with the Truth, then it becomes What happens at the time of death?

Then this man came to Guru Gobind Singh and told, So when the four eyes become one, He withdraws „Well, your Sikh tell like this.

That one knows before going, not only

what will happen at the time of going, – he knows beforehand, because since he has left this body many times beforehand, he knows how to transcend this body, how to be with Master. But there are very rare persons who can do this job and they can accommodate the love of the Master in their heart.

life. He says, „Well, you must know that you have to do, you have to live in the world.“ I told you already when I was initiated, Master gave me much, much above much rather. And at once I thought, „O Master, I pledge before You.“ It was my thought, not verbally, I spoke from the tongue. I said, „Well, Master, now I pledge that (this time) I will not die for You, at least I will live for You!“ Because I knew, that I have to justify my Master. Because those who do not justify or those who deny to justify the Master, they have to bear the reactions of their life, they have to bear the reactions of their karmas. Whatever we are doing, we should see, if this interests the Master or this interests otherwise. If this interests the Master, it is well and good, because what interests the Master, that also interests you. Master has no other function than to live for His children. He only comes for others, His purpose in the world is not like that of an ordinary person. We live for our children – He also lives for His children. But He knows how to detach them.

Once one transcends above the body-consciousness, and gets a little drop of that consciousness, one is intoxicated. And what happens with such a person? He loses his head and heart, and he wanders in the world, and that man becomes a useless man in the world. He can no more live in the world, he will always think as when he would go back. Master takes it not as a privilege, but as a disadvantage. The reason is, that this manbody has been given to us, it is a capital. This manbody is connected with the Pralabdh Karma, for which this manbody was given to us. It has been given for a certain cause. You may say it is a reaction of the past life, why we came in this world. With this reaction (due to which we have got the manbody), we have to finish the reaction. So You know, when Guru Nanak left for the tour, his far reaction is with us, and we do not undo with it, mother-in-law said, „Nanak, if really you have had we cannot go back. This is the reaction which brings to go from the house for such a long period, how us back into the world, again and again. Otherwise, will the children live in Your absence? Why did You there is no problem for the Masterpower to take the give birth to them?“ He said, „Mother, the problem soul at once. There are three types of Karmas: one is which you want to create for me – I have come to called the past karma – Sanchit Karma, second the remove this problem from the heart of other people. Pralabdh Karma for which this manbody has been My purpose is a different one. I have come to remove given. Then there is the present karma which we are the shackles of the people, you want to put shackles creating now, if we don‘t act in the right way. These on me. I won‘t do that.“ He didn‘t care, because she karmas again are stored with us as reactions, and did not know that Master is not only the physical those karmas turn into Pralabdh Karma. Then one body; Master is something more. has to come back into the manbody. So Master tells us how to become actionless while remaining in the When Guru Gobind Singh along with forty disciples world. Master has such a vibration in Him, and this of His, was fighting in the battlefield, some people means, (to finish with all). He gives only a drop of thought, „O, our Master is only fighting and fighting, that consciousness and it is sufficient. Only one drop and we do not learn anything from Him.“ They gave of His consciousness is sufficient. We are already one Him some paper, in which it was written: „From now drop of the consciousness. onward, we are not Your disciple and You are not our Master.“ This is what they wrote and happily they It is only His attention that is working in all of us. returned to their home. But Guru Gobind Singh was When a little of this consciousness is given, it brings the Word-personified-form. He used to look after a very big effect on man‘s life. But when does Master the children, after all the family members. Those give it? When He knows that His disciple is now fit who were fighting, Masterpower was giving shelter to continue his life in the world (in the right way). to them, giving consolation to them, rather He gave Masterpower doesn‘t give it to him to disturb his life for His kids and kins, for all people. And all the

family members were very happy, they felt that their „Yes, my hand is up.“ He finds the upper hand. But sons or husband had gone for a good cause. Children with the Mission of the Master, this sacrifice takes said, „Our father has gone for a good purpose.“ They all the power from the negative power. Negative were very happy, but those whose attention was put power even after sacrifice cannot stand on his own to do some work, said to Master, „Well, You do this, legs. Then he has to run away, he has to vacate lots this is Your work. You do it!“ And they said, „We are of things, lots of places just to get rid of this problem. not getting anything for it.“ This, however, should Then his mission, the mission of the negative power have been selfless service. is scattered everywhere in the world. You know, what the Master does – He gives the essence, He gives the cash-payment, He gives whatever we have earned throughout our life serving the Master-power. He will not even allow us to spend it in the world. He always keeps it with Him, because this selfless service bears devotion, and we have earned something for the Mission. This is something that is above the three worlds – selfless service gives life in the Mission of the Master.

Lastly I would only tell you that, as everyone knows, the ultimate goal of life, the purpose of human life, is to meet a good end. With Master we multiply our attributes, with Master our virtues multiply and one becomes the abode of virtues. You know, Master is the abode of virtues, He has everything. His treasure is unexhaustible. You may use as much as you like, but it will multiply more and more. As you use your intellect – it will become more, it will grow more. But with the other way, with the negative way, by each You know, some Masters had to sacrifice their lives. wish we have to give something, we lose something. For what purpose? To save the Mission – that is a We lose our virtues when we have some wishes. With selfless service. This is a sacrifice. Selfless service or each wish we have to give something from the virtues. to sacrifice our wishes for the higher cause is some- You know, a greedy person, he loses all the virtues, thing unique – there is no parallel to it. Once Master and then remains dependent upon others. If a man said, „Okay, you do it!“ – then it is our duty to do has many, many wishes, his life is also lessened. He that. loses the power also. He lives less time in the world. But if he lives, he lives like a dead person. When the son of Guru Gobind Singh was sent to the battlefield, he came back and asked for water from This is from different quotations, from different Masthe father. Guru Gobind Singh didn‘t give him the ters. I am not speaking (from myself), I am telling physical water. He said, „The water that you have you about some teaching from different Masters. to use for all the time, that has already been given Masters tell us, „Where are the problems that you do to you, why do you come back to have the physical not live with Master, that you do not live with good water? Go, and have the (eternal) water there.“ He thoughts, that you do not live with the right purpose didn‘t give it to him. So the Masterpower is above the which you know now?“ We are all sitting (together) worldly things, above the bloodrelations, everything, and everyone knows the purpose of human life. Then because He gives life to everybody. Their purpose is why delay? What is the cause of the delay? You are very unique. So far we have not got this life. As com- not forced, everyone is free. If you do something, it mon men, those who do not know how to serve the will benefit all of you. It will benefit your home and Master, they cannot get the life. It is an eternal law. home-affairs, it will benefit all around, where your The more selfless service and the more sacrifice for attention goes. So Masters say that we are double the cause of the Master, the faster His work is done, benefited. If we obey the Master, then we are double that goes into the heart of people. benefited. We do not lose anything, but we gain the purpose of human life. You know, it is a law unlike this physical world. He who sacrifices, he who dies, he loses something in the Our purpose is scattered everywhere in the world. world. Whereas anyone who swims across, he says, Out attention was scattered in the world, and we

went back, and to get this attention back we also came back again and again. So it is high time, those who could do something, they are very loveable to the Master, and those who have not done something, they are also loveable to the Master. For Master it is no problem. He loves everybody, but the problem which man creates for himself, he has to overcome it. You know, what-ever you sow, you have to reap, and then you have to thrash it also. There is no way out. It is a reaction which a Master cannot avoid. Master says, „Okay, you have sown, now you go, you finish with it!“ So this whole creation, which (in our eyes) looks very nice, that is the creation created by man. We say, God has created it. No, God sent us, „You go and come back!“ Simply He said so many things but the most important thing that was, „I was with you, I am with you and you can make the best use of it. When you get free, then you come along with me!“

time of death. Unfortunately, man cannot get away, man cannot run away, he is caught, and he goes back. Otherwise man always wants to live in the world out of his own wishes, out of his own attachments. The purpose of telling all those things again and again is meant to do definitely something for ourselves; we should never forget it, we should do it at once.

Master says, „Live now as you want to live. Think for a while, which is the most important thing for you.“ You will discard everything, „This is also not good, this is also not good!“ Our attention has manifested. Our attention which has multiplied everywhere, that has surrounded us, and we do not find the way out. Master says, „You take one and then discard it. Use it only that much as you need, not more. Then do it with all, and you will see, that you will be disconnected from everything.“ You will use them, but while How great this power is that this power never leaves using, you will be disconnected. I say, „Here I am not us! He even does not leave the sinner, the most sin- needed!“ Then why should I go there where I am not ner person in the world. He also remains with that needed? If I go there, it will affect me badly, then why one. Because there is a hope for everybody, but when should I go there? People simply do not know how to hope is put into delay and delay and delay, then a detach from something. time comes when we cannot make the best use of the time, and then we have to go empty-handed.

Guru Gobind Singh gave us a demonstration outwardly, physically He gave this demonstration: He said to one person, „Yes, now after seven days, you will leave the body.“ And this man didn‘t take any food, he got very weak. On the seventh day, Guru Gobind Singh said, „Well, come up. What has happened to you?“ He said, „I have to leave the body tomorrow.“ He said, „You were given seven days, but I have no moment with me. I only live for God, and I do not know when He wants to take me back. When He sends the order, then immediately I have to go.“ No one is prepared – they are the conscious co-workers of the divine plan who ever remain prepared to go back. Because they know, they are sent in the world. When your work is finished, then you go back. You are serving somewhere, you immediately go back, you even do not put in one minute more. You say, „Time is finished, I have to go back!“ This is the condition of those who have solved the mystery of death. And we even want to escape at the

After His passing away one may derive benefit from the Satsang conducted by a Gurmukh who is carrying on the duties of the Guru, and may consult him in case one has some difficulty. It is however, of the utmost importance that the Master is not to be changed on any account. Loyalty to the Master who has initiated the spirit and whom the spirit has pledged his troth demands the recognition that the Master is competent to impart further guidance and instructions, even when He is working on the spiritual plane after having left the physical world.
