Starting from his village, he reached Jagraon. A muslim pir Lappe Shah (holyman) resided here. Baba Harnam Singh ji
exchanged his views with him and aprised him of his spiritual path. He reached
his maternal grandparents village ‘Mianwind’ after a couple of halts enroute.
Thou he had reached a state of detachment from the worldly affair-‘Ghar he
mahé udāsā’ as described in gurbani, yet he was happy to meet his maternal
grandfather Kahan Singh, grandmother Nand Kaur, maternal uncles Mahetab Singh
and Gulab Singh and a few other relatives. This meeting was no different for
Baba ji than any previous one he used to have with Sangat (holy congregation).
He advised them to create faith, love & service for the house of Guru Nanak. He
preached that we must worship God rising above the feeling of
worldly attachments. God has given this human form to us for
accomplishment of this mission. The villagers too were dispensed with adequate
counseling to follow the path shown by the gurus.
One way of escaping entrapment in the
slush of attachment is meditation of God’s name. Those caught in the
web of attachment are also affected by lust, anger and false pride. Such a
person cannot escape the wrath of 84 lakhs species. One and only one way to
escape the delusive network is to shed idleness and adopt contemplation on god,
honest earnings and giving one tenth of one’s earning in charity to the
guru’s coffer for use on matters religious.
Honest earning and meditation leads a man to
the door step of Lord God. All his tribulation are wasted away.From here, he reached Moga via Sultanpur
and imparted pious counsel of Guru Nanak to the devotee sikhs. He held a
discourse with Sant Mehar Singh at village Singha. He stayed there for a month
as desired by his host. To awaken the conscience of the people of Malwa, he
reached Barnala via Nihal Singh wala, Hathoor, Kangar and Bhadaur, spreading the
elixir of gurbani.
