The Seva of the Baoli was in progress, with Sikhs coming and doing Seva with love and devotion. Whoever Guru Amardas ji would cast his divine vision upon, the internal wisdom would spring out from within their hearts. Some prepared the mortar and some prepared the bricks. The mortar was made from grinded lentils and other materials from the time. The mortar was grinded in the chakki (grinder) with love and brought to the site in baskets upon the heads of the Sikhs. Nobody told anyone to do anything as everyone was eager to work. Everybody did the Seva without being told to. There was an assembly line that was unbroken for the work. The masons received all of the prepared materials. As they all did Seva with love, Guru ji would shower his blessings upon them. All their wishes were fulfilled by Guru ji. The light of the Guru was in all.
There was a Sikh that lived in Kabul. His wife was a “Pativrata,” (chaste by body and mind). She was devoted to her husband and saw him as Akaal Purakh. Her mind was in her control as she had won her desires. Her husband was a great Sikh who helped her understand and follow Sikhi. The wife understood Sikhi very well. She was Pativrata to the level where she had received great powers and was able to see Akaal Purakh inside her husband. She was able to recite the name of Akaal Purakh and be able to travel where her mind wished to within the blink of an eye (door gaman Siddhi). She could travel thousands of miles within a second. She used to use this power to come to Goindwal from Kabul everyday. She had other Siddhis as well. Her attention was always focused on the light of Akaal Purakh within her husband.
She found out about the Baoli Seva being directed by Guru ji. She knew that the Seva would give a lot of rewards. The wise people would not be left without this Seva and came right away. The Sikhni would then come to Goindwal during the day. She would do Seva all day long, coming in the morning. She would dig the dirt and transport it. She would carry bricks and mortar with love. She wouldn’t talk to anyone and just do Seva all day long, doing Simran. Her focus was in the feet of Satguru ji. In the evening, she would disappear and go back to Kabul. She would then go home and have her dinner and sleep in Kabul with her family. She would come back in the morning and recite “Dhan Guru Nanak.” The Sikhs would be amazed, seeing her. Nobody knew where she came from and where she went. They would say: “as she does Seva, she waves her hand like she is swinging a cradle in the air. She does Seva and waves her hand every few minutes. Where does she come from and where does she go? This is amazing. She does Seva with love and we cannot ask her. Who is she?” The Sikhs would talk about her amongst themselves. Nobody knew about her. Her focus was strong and still. She was quick to do Seva. She loved doing Seva and did it without laziness.
Many days passed and all of the Sikhs were wondering who the lady was. They all went to Guru Sahib and asked: “Prabhoo ji, there is a lady that comes to do Seva. She does Seva with love, with the Sangat but she disappears in the evening and reappears in the morning. She does Seva like everyone else. Another thing she does: as she does Seva, she waves her hand every few minutes. We don’t understand where she comes from or where she goes. We have been seeing her for many days. We come to you Guru ji to tell us. Who is she and where does she come from? Please tell us and remove our confusion.” Guru Amardas ji heard the Sikhs and said to them: “a Sikh of mine lives in Kabul. This is his wife, who loves him dearly. She is a Pativrata and is very fortunate. She is determined in the Guru’s Seva. She also sees the light of Akaal Purakh in her husband. She only thinks of her husband and is devoted to him. In her heart, she thinks of Guru Nanak Dev ji. Her attention is always towards her Aatma and does not talk to anyone else. Her husband is the one that helped her understand Sikhi. She has received many powers and is able to travel where she wants to in a blink of an eye, just like Sidh yogis. She comes everyday using her powers. In the evening she returns to her home. She waves her hand because her child is a baby and in a cradle. She waves her hand to rock his cradle every few minutes. When she leaves in the morning, she leaves her child in the cradle. All day she does Seva and knows when her child cries. She has all these powers to play with her child from here. In the evening she goes back and takes care of her house. She takes care of her family at night. There is no other Dharma greater that the Patibrat Dharma. It gives many powers. There are many Pativratas in history who changed the course of nature and were able to perform many miracles. Once there was 10 days of darkness in the whole world by a Pativrata woman. She had so much power that the sun did not rise for 10 days.” The Sangat asked Guru ji to tell them about this great woman.
Guru Amardas ji said: “there was a Muni named Mandav who was performing a Tapasya. There was a group of robbers who robbed the palace of a king. On the way, they saw Rishi Mandav and placed an expensive necklace in front of him as a donation. The robbers went home but Mandav Rishi was still in his Samadhi, totally unaware of what was in front of him. The king’s soldiers were looking for the robbers and came across Rishi Mandav. They saw the necklace and arrested the Muni. Mandav Muni contested his arrest but the soldiers did not listen and tried to hang him by a noose. Due to Mandav Rishi’s powers, he did not die. Mandav Rishi got mad at Dharam Raja and said: “you are trying to kill me. This is unjust. I am innocent and I am being hung for nothing. I will curse you.” Dharmaraj came and said to Mandav: “this is your own karma. When you were a child, you killed an insect with a sharp object. For this reason, you are being punished.” Mandav heard this and said: “that is not fair. A child is without wisdom and logic. A child can’t be held responsible for its actions. Dharamrai, this must be changed. From now on, a child should not be held responsible for its actions till it is in its adult age.” In the same time, a Pativrata was walking by, carrying her disabled husband on top of her head. It was dark, so as she walked, the husband on top of her head bumped into the noose with the undead Mandav hanging from it. This angered Mandav and he cursed the lady. He said: “your husband shall die as the sun comes up.” The name of the woman was Satvanti. She was hurt when she heard the curse. She said to Mandav: “my husband bumped into you by mistake. If he will die when the sun rises, then I won’t let the sun rise at all. Whoever can resurrect my husband after he dies, can let the sun rise again.” After she said those words, the sun did not rise and there was darkness all around. Ten days passed and the whole world was worried. All of the Devatas then got together and resolved the issue as they resurrected the husband as the sun was allowed to come out. Pativrata women are very powerful. That is how the lady from Kabul comes everyday and is able to take care of her house as well. She centres her attention on the Satguru, day and night. She has accumulated all these powers in this way. People who are Ghristi, do Bhagti and serve the Guru while doing Simran of the Prabhoo, there are no others that can match their powers.” The Sikhs heard Guru ji’s words and said: “you are Dhan, Dhan Prabhoo ji. You are the granter of many powers.”
Guru ji called the Mai from Kabul to him and said to her: “both you and your husband will receive Aatamgyaan. You will both become one with me when you leave this earth.” This was the Adhyaaya of the Mai from Kabul. Satguru ji blessed her for her Seva. The Satguru is the giver of all powers. The Sikhs faith was certain of this.
