After
acquiring much needed knowledge from Sant Mal Singh ji, he set out on the tour of the country. First
of all he reached Amritsar - a town raised by the Guru. He stayed here for many
years enjoying the peaceful and tranquil environment of the holy place beside
meeting many other pious souls. He recited ‘Jap(u)Ji’ 7,25,000 times
during this period. From here, he set out towards Anandpur Sahib, Kiratpur Sahib
and went first to Badrinath via Ambala and Jagadhari and then Rishikesh. He
derived maximum benefit of acquiring knowledge of Hindu scriptures from
the company of Hindu saints and learned scholars. He was very near Hemkunt. His
mother was ill at home and she was remembering her son. So he reached home. When
his mother was told that ‘Mastana’ has come, she opened her eyes, looked
at him and went into eternal sleep. After performing all the rites of his
mother, he felt totally relieved of all his responsibility of the house and left
it for good.
He set out now to free the mankind of all
its ills and maladies as was ordained by Almighty. He rose above the bondages of
affection with relations and other acquaintances.
In foresight, he started holding contacts
and giving audience with the people who were inclined towards
spirituality. His temperament was of a fearless, non-inimical and desiring good
of all and sundry. He would never accept any pressure to bear upon him from
political or social leaders and lived life according to the Divine order. It was
indeed difficult for a common man to understand his spiritual, inner self, well
being of others and the state of experience of the two worlds. His facial
expression and its effect was so deep and piercing that no one could look
straight at his face. He never proclaimed his self at any time.
His life had become a light house for others
since it had acquired the lines and true shades of Sikh philosophy. It was a
most appropriate example to be emulated. Regard less of the economic, social or
education status of the people, he provided them with equilateral advise to
tread the right path as dictated by the message of gurus. As a fountain head of
truth, piety, humility and humbleness, he started preaching the principals of
Sikhism to numerable people who would gather with a desire to make success of
their lives.
