Bhai Ram Koer ji always stayed in the state of Brahmgyaan. He was always in an unmovable state. Sometimes he would pay attention to the world, otherwise his focus was always in the Dasvan Duaar (Tenth door). The servants would stay with him at all times. They would run the Langar and carry out the Divans.
There was a time when the Mughals were hunting Sikhs from village to village. Bhai Ram Koer ji’s Langar would run continuously. The Mughal’s attempted to stop the Langar as the Sikhs on the run would come eat from Ramdaspur Village. The army of the Mughals arrived in Ramdaspur. They were looting Sikhs as they came. They looted the place of Baba Bhudda ji. They took the clothes, jewellery, horses, pots, goats, blankets, and food. The servants attempted to stop them: “why are you doing this? This is the house of a saint and many poor people come here to eat.” The army did not listen and took everything. They took all the relics and valuable items. Bhai Ram Koer ji was sitting in his place. The servants requested Bhai Ram Koer ji: “Maharaj, the army is here to loot everything.” Bhai Ram Koer ji was able to see everything but was totally disassociated with the world and didn’t say anything. The servants folded their hands and continued their request. Many thousands of Rupees were looted. There was nothing left in the house.
The army went back to Lahore. The Sooba (Governor) of Lahore found out that his army had looted Baba Bhudda ji’s place. The Sooba was well aware of the power of Bhai Ram Koer ji. He realised that his army and done a very bad thing. He was afraid of Bhai Sahib’s curse. He knew that Bhai Ram Koer ji always lived above pain, pleasure, profit and loss. He was a true Fakir. The Sooba mounted his horse and came to Ramdaspur with a few soldiers, immediately. He was worried and kept pacing between his men. He was worried that Bhai Ram Koer ji would curse him. The Sooba got off his horse and took his shoes off. He entered Bhai Ram Koer ji’s home. Bhai Ram Koer ji was sitting in his room in meditation. The Sooba came and folded his hands. He bowed to his feet and touched them. He took the dirt from his feet and put it to his forehead. He was terrified of being cursed. He said to Bhai Ram Koer ji: “please do not curse us.” He stood up with great fear in his heart. Bhai Ram Koer ji stayed in his state and didn’t say anything to him. This was the Sooba of Punjab, who was feared and respected by all of Punjab. Bhai Sahib had his eyes half closed, half open. Bhai Sahib was in the state of Nirvana. It had been about 20 minutes that the Sooba stood there. The Sooba was worried that Bhai Sahib was not talking. He figured that he should call out to him. He folded his hands and spoke with humility: “Maharaj, please forgive me. I had no idea my men looted your home. They have done a foolish act. As soon as I found out, I came right away. I am your servant. These soldiers do not know the power of saints. They did not think before they acted. All these fools came and did not consider good or bad. They looted your home and took everything. I will punish all of my men that came here. Please tell me what has been looted, all the animals, cows, goats, blankets, pots and pans. From the smallest to the biggest; please prepare a list. I will return everything. I will make sure everything is returned. I wish to be forgiven by you. Please forgive all of us.” The Sooba repeated his request many times out loud. Bhai Ram Koer ji raised his face a little and opened his eyes. He looked up. The Sooba was standing in front of him and the soldiers were standing outside of the house. There were horses and elephants outside. Bhai Ram Koer ji saw the soldiers standing with their weapons. He looked at the Sooba and said: “nothing of ours has been lost. What are you saying?” Bhai Ram Koer ji closed his eyes again. The Khan of Lahore, the ruler of Lahore said: “the army of Lahore came and looted everything in your house, Bhai Sahib ji. All of your stuff has been looted. I’m asking: what was looted? Please tell me what was lost. I will return all of the stuff. My soldiers erred and are fools.” When the Khan repeated himself out loud two or three times, his soldiers standing outside were holding hawks, Bhai Ram Koer ji looked towards the hawks. Bhai Ram Koer ji said: “I have hawks that go with me when I go hunting. There were silk ropes that were tied to the claws of my hawks, I have lost those ropes. I believe those ropes and the bird cages of my hawks have been stolen. Return those to me, if your soldiers will listen to you. I need those ropes to go hunting. Tell your soldiers to return those ropes.” The Sooba heard Bhai Sahib ji. He was surprised and happy as well. He was amazed at the level of Brahmgyaan Bhai Sahib ji was at. He had no worry about the stuff that was looted. All he saw was that the ropes of his hawks were gone. “He doesn’t care about the loss his home had suffered. His heart has no negative thoughts. Whatever is not in front of his eyes, he doesn’t care about. He has no idea how much has been looted. He is a very powerful Brahmgyaani.” The Khan was amazed. He folded his hands and said: “please bless me by coming to my house in Lahore. Please stay in my home for a few days. When it will be your wish, you may return whenever you like. Please bless my home with your feet stepping in to it.” Baba Ram Koer ji went along with the Sooba.
Bhai Ram Koer ji was unique. His horse was very strong. He was very strong himself. He was very bulky and strong so the horse had to be strong too. His horse would never have any reins nor saddles. He would sit on a bareback horse. He would sit on a horse with both of his legs to one side. Bhai Sahib ji jumped on to his horse and sat on top of it. The soldiers were very surprised to see this. The horse looked like a stubborn one. There were no reins nor saddle. They saw that he sat with both legs to one side of the horse. Rama, the servant of Bhai Ram Koer ji went along. The Sooba asked Rama: “how is Baba ji sitting on the horse? I hope he doesn’t fall off and break a bone. There are no reins in the horse’s mouth. The horse is very strong and clever.” Rama then said to the Khan: “this is how Bhai Sahib mounts his horse everyday. He does not need reins or saddles. This is how he does things. You need not to worry about him. The horse runs without reins. He goes hunting in this manner as well. Sometimes his legs are on either side of the horse but usually his legs are on the same side.” The Khan was amazed at seeing this. He was in doubt, though.
Bhai Sahib came to Lahore in this way and went inside the home of the Sooba. The Sooba served Bhai Ram Koer ji in many ways. He returned all of the stuff that was looted from his home. The sevadaars accounted for all the looted things. The Sooba investigated what else was looted and made sure he scolded the soldiers that took all the stuff. The Sooba was very powerful. He had all of the stuff returned to Ramdaspur village. He punished the soldiers as well. The Sooba wanted to test Bhai Sahib. He discussed this with his officers. The Qaazis advised: “there is a mare in our stable that does not let anyone mount her. She is very stubborn and does not move. She lifts her front feet and throws the rider off. If you whip her, she hurts the rider or does a sudden U-turn. If she runs with the rider, she does not stop and keeps running. The mare has all of the bad qualities a mare could have.” The Khan Sooba had the mare decorated and brought to Bhai Sahib. He placed money in front of Bhai Ram Koer ji and presented the mare and money as an offering. He folded his hands and said: “please accept this offering. Please ride this mare and go hunting with her. This is my wish: that you ride this horse. Please mount this horse so that we may see this and know that you have accepted our gift. First tour Lahore and then go back to your village. You will arrive by evening.” The horse was then given along with clothes and money. The Sooba had doubtful intentions. Bhai Sahib ji got up and went towards the horse. He saw the beautiful saddle. Bhai Sahib removed the reins and opened the saddle. He then jumped on top of the horse with both of his legs to one side of the horse. The mare began to walk slowly and in discipline, at the pace of a cow. Everyone was shocked. She walked through the streets of Lahore just by Bhai Sahib ji’s intentions. She could read Bhai Sahib’s wishes and obeyed wherever he wanted to go, without him showing his intentions. She ran with Bhai Sahib’s mind. Everyone saw this and were amazed, for this was the same mare that could not be mounted. Everyone was amazed and happy to see the glory of the generations of Baba Bhudda Sahib ji. Bhai Sahib ji toured the city and saw the places and buildings. The city was well populated with well dressed people. People stopped on the streets to bow to Bhai Sahib ji. The Sooba took Bhai Sahib ji to one of his palaces and began to show Bhai Sahib ji his other buildings from the top floor. He showed him his house and the city from up above.
Bhai Ram Koer ji then spoke: “Listen Khan, Ramdaspur was looted by your soldiers; and the villagers were beaten up. You have returned all those looted items. My village will re-establish itself and the place of Baba Bhudda ji will operate in the same way as it did before. What will happen to your city and your palaces, higher than mountains, when it will be looted? Who will give it all back to you? Who will protect your city? How will it re-establish itself?” The Khan heard Bhai Sahib ji and got scared. He said: “What are you saying Bhai Sahib? You are cursing me and my city?” Bhai Sahib ji responded: “I just asked out of the blue. Why did you take this as a curse? I was just asking: when this city will be looted, who will save it? You gave me back all my things, who will return your things to you?” The Sooba went quiet. He had regret in his mind. What he had feared greatly, had just happened. He was afraid of a Brahmgyaanis words as the aftermath. (Lahore was looted twice: once by Nadir Shah, killing thousands. After 10 years from Nadir Shah’s invasion, Ahmed Shah Abdali came and looted Lahore. As Bhai Ram Koer ji had said the same thing twice, when he asked the Sooba both times). The Sooba went quiet.
Bhai Ram Koer ji left the palace, mounted on the new horse and headed for Ramdaspur. The looted items came, packed on top of carts and buggies. The army was sent along to help. The Sooba wanted the soldiers to stay close to Bhai Ram Koer ji, to make sure he does not fall off the new horse. He also wanted to know if he ever fell or not. As Bhai Ram Koer ji travelled without reins and saddles, the Sooba was amazed. He now had great faith on Baba ji and decided that it was not a good idea to doubt Saints. The horse would move with the direction of Bhai Ram Koer ji’s mind’s will. The horse was connected to Bhai Sahib’s mind. It would move at the speed that Bhai Sahib ji wanted it to. The Khan’s men that came along, kept a keen eye. Bhai Sahib ji understood that the soldiers had doubt in their minds and decided to quash their doubt. Bhai Sahib ji rode the horse faster. The horse rode like the wind. All you could see was dust flying, not the horse. The soldiers were then surprised as to how this was happening, riding a bareback horse. After about 2 miles, Bhai Sahib stopped. The soldiers saw this and were now filled with faith for Bhai Sahib ji. Bhai Ram Koer ji entered his home and his glory was prevalent.
