Holy Glance

BabaJi's marvellous word or glance could transport one into the wonderous state of Nam Ras, Atam Ras where body consciousness was non-existent. The Great Master could bestow and grant such rare and highest ecstasy and bliss with a mere touch or a glance.

aba Ji once appeared outside village Jandawale and sat under a dry pipal tree. It was the month of June. An old man named Mala Singh used to pass by that side daily. He once requested BabaJi to accept some service from him and on being allowed started bringing milk once a day. The country-side was sandy, and it being the month of June, was scorchingly hot during day time. Mala Singh noticed that Baba Ji continuously sat at one place all the time, and had not moved since the time He had come there. He could not help but ask BabaJi as to how could He bear all that burning heat sitting as He was without any shade. Babaji replied:

"Mala Singh, sadha garmi sardi naal koi sambandh nahin, sadha es shareer naal vee koi sambandh nahin."

A perfect and true sage is totally detached from body, being permanently established in Atam Ras, Har Ras. He is totally free from the opposites like heat and cold, pain and pleasure and so on. And Baba Harnam Singh Ji Maharaj was God in the garb of a sage.

Simple old man could not understand the mystic implication. Gracious Babaji asked him to come the next morning. He came accordingly. Babaji asked him to repeat the Holy Name of Waheguru and sit at a distance of a few yards, and advised him to come only when called. Accordingly, Mala Singh sat reciting the Holy Name.

Babaji called him by name and awakened him from the blissful samadhi. He realised it was late evening.

Immersed deeply in the Nectar of Nam Ras, the sikh blessed by Baba Harnam Singh Ji Maharaj became completely oblivious to burning heat of the hottest season and discomfort arising therefrom, for the whole of the day.

BabaJi's marvellous word or glance could transport one into the wonderous state of Nam Ras, Atam Ras where body consciousness was non-existent. The Great Master could bestow and grant such rare and highest ecstasy and bliss with a mere touch or a glance. The effect used to be instantaneous. Numerous were such blessed souls who experienced this bliss from His benevolent and infinite compassion.

A mere word or touch by Him was so powerful and magnetic as to awaken God-consciousness within and insulate the soul from body-consciousness.
