“Sri Mammaji, you are the ultimate forgiver. What vice do you have? You have always been full of complete virtues. You are a complete Brahmgyaani.” Baba Mohan ji heard Guru Arjan Dev ji and responded: “you already know the history that had happened, but I will still tell you what happened. After telling you, I will ask for forgiveness for my stubbornness. My father was a complete Brahmgyaani. He was the giver of peace and joy. Sri Guru Ramdas ji was the fortunate one who did my father’s Seva, with love and devotion. Guru Ramdas ji was very humble and did not consider himself as high. He was humble and without any ego. He saw his Guru as the supreme and considered himself full of vices. Guru Amardas ji saw his servant as complete. He saw all of the virtues of the Guru in Guru Ramdas ji. He saw humility, Bhagti, contentment, compassion, purity, truth, dharma, generosity, sacrifice, patience, effort, ambition, and vairagya in Guru Ramdas ji. I did not have those virtues. If Guru Amardas ji said it was “night,” Guru Ramdas ji would say “night.” If Guru Amardas ji said “day,” Guru Ramdas ji would say “day.” He obeyed everything Guru ji said and made Seva his life. He let go of the world’s ways and joys. I did not recognize the Guru in my father. I saw him as my father. I didn’t understand that it was Parmeshwar. If I did see him as the Guru, I still saw him as my father. I took credit for being the son of the great Guru. I did not do his Seva. I was proud that my father was the Guru. Sri Guru Ramdas ji saw him as Akaal Purakh and did his Seva. Our father was happy with him. When it came time to transfer the Gurta Ghaddi, our father saw Guru Ramdas ji as the rightful heir. Father called me first and told me to bow to Guru Ramdas ji to receive all the joys: “I see Guru Ramdas ji as the Guru. He can tolerate the impossible. The Jot of Akaal Purakh resides in him. He is the greatest of all humankind. Whoever bows to his feet, they will receive all of the joys.” I was full of pride and did not bow to Guru Ramdas ji. Pithaji told me repeatedly to bow, but I did not listen to him. I saw myself as the son of the Guru. I did not go close to Guru Ramdas ji. I saw the Gurta Ghaddi as my right. I saw him as the Sodhi who lived with us. I saw him as lower than me. My brother Baba Mohri ji, he obeyed Pithaji when he asked him to bow to Guru Ramdas ji’s feet. He bowed to Guru Ramdas ji and obeyed Pithaji. Pithaji was happy with him and said: “Mohri, you are the mohri (leader). You will have Riddhis, Siddhis and Niddhis. You will have Brahmgyaanis in your family. You will be all-powerful. You will be in bliss. You will have a great status. You kept the reputation of the Bhallas. Your generations will grow and prosper. You will be in bliss and prosperous till you are alive. After your breaths finish, you will come to me in Sach Khand.” Pithaji blessed him with many boons. Brother Mohri was in joy with Pithaji’s words. Guru Ramdas ji got the Tilak and Pithaji went to Sach Khand. After, Guru Ramdas ji sat on the Gurta Ghaddi. He preached Sikhi with love and greatness. Sikhi spread far and wide. He was the greatest among all humankind. Sikhs came to worship him from every direction. His radiance was the greatest. He blessed millions. The sinners were punished. I was worried seeing his radiance. I was left with nothing and he was Akaal Purakh’s form. I humbled myself and went to the place where Pithaji would sit and do Bhagti. I went to the Chabarra and did an Ardaas to Pithaji by folding my hands: “Pithaji, I did not follow your path. I am in pain, day and night. I burn with jealousy. My chest burns a slow burn. I did not see you as omnipotent. Please place your hand on my head and bless me. You can make a rye into a mountain and a mountain into a rye. You can do this in an instant. You are the Guru that resides in the whole universe. You rid the pain of your servants. You are the Ishwar, full of virtues, you are desireless, you are above consciousness. You give the Name to sinners and bless them. You are worshiped in this world and protect your servants in other dimensions. Whether the Sikh be a householder or a Sanyasi, you do not let them be in doubt. You are the Jogi of Jogis and the Bhogi of Bhogis. You are loved by your servants. I bow to your lotus feet. Forgive me. You are generous and the ocean of compassion. You are omniscient, you know what is in our hearts and grant us our wishes. You are the root of bliss and the destroyer of vices. You kill the lion of attachment. You kill the ego-snake like the hawk. You extinguish the fire of greed like a cloud. The ones who serve you, you are happy with them. You made Guru Ramdas ji your form. You put your Jot in Guru Ramdas ji. The Jot of the Supreme Bedis, Guru Nanak Dev ji, that same Jot lived here. Oh Prabhoo, for the sake of your Name, forgive my mistakes and see me as your servant. I bow to the calm, consciousness, Prabhoo. I bow to the Gyaan form. I bow to the friend of servants. I bow to your supreme words. Please listen to my plea and bless me. I made a mistake of not obeying you. Please forget my mistake. Children make mistakes but parents correct them. Show me the right path. Victory be to you! Jai! The whole world sings your praises. I bow to the form of the Guru. There is no other form equal to you. No other Avtar is equal to the Guru Avatar. You are filled with bliss.” When I made this request to Guru Amardas ji, Guru ji was happy and I heard him speaking in the room. I heard him in the Chabarra. Guru Amardas ji said: “I am happy to hear your plea. I am happy with you. You are forgiven because you are humble now. Listen to my words: the Pothis of Gurbani that you have, keep them safe with you. The son of Guru Ramdas ji, the Gyani, he will compile the Gurbani in one binding. He will collect all of the Bani. Only you will have the Bani of the Satguru. He will come to you. Don’t give the Pothis to anyone else. Only give the Pothis to Guru Arjan Dev ji. When he comes, give him the Pothis with love. You didn’t bow to Guru Ramdas ji but you will need to bow to his son, Guru Arjan Dev ji. Let go of your ego and bow to him. He will protect you in the other dimension. Don’t think of anything else. Don’t have doubts. Do Bhagti here. Stay in the Chabarra and do Bhagti. Guru Arjan Dev ji will be the same form as me.” I heard these words of my father. I stayed in the Chabarra, waiting for you. Today was that day. I spoke harsh words to test your patience. I saw the virtues of the Guru inside of you. Give me the sanctuary of your feet. I’ve kept the Pothis for you. I give them to you now. I wish to ask for forgiveness for my mistakes. My chest has been burning for this long. Please extinguish this fire inside of me.” Guru Arjan Dev ji heard his uncle and said: “I am the beggar asking for Gurbani. I place pleas in front of you. I can’t command you. I am humble to your asks. I am younger and smaller in every way. You are great. You love us children. I can’t refuse your asks, though. I am your child, do as you please.” Baba Mohan ji heard this and was happy. He bowed to Guru Arjan Dev ji’s feet again. He saw the humility in Guru Arjan Dev ji and was impressed. Baba Mohan ji folded his hands with humility. He said: “forgive my mistakes.” Guru Arjan Dev ji was happy with his Mammaji and sang the fourth Shabad to destroy his pains:
Sri Mukhvaak:
Mohan, you are successful and prosperous along with your family.. Mohan, your son, friends, brothers and your family, whoever meet you will be blessed..
You have blessed the universe, the pride was destroyed for whoever met you.. Whoever calls you great, Jumms will not come close to them.. You have limitless virtues, which cannot be stated, my Satguru, you are supreme..
Says Guru Nanak Dev ji, I seek only your support, by which the whole world is saved..4..2..
(SGGS 248)
“First Bhai Gurdas ji came and then Baba Bhudda ji came, you destroyed their egos. I have taken all of those Pothis by sitting on the ground and doing Keertan. By this Gurbani, the whole world will do Simran of Satnam. They will be blessed and be in bliss. Sri Mohan ji, you are great that you kept the Gurbani in one place. You have been gracious to thousands. Sikhs will read this Gurbani and be blessed in this world. Saints come to this world to be gracious to the world. You have done a great task.” Baba Mohan ji said: “I am in your command. I am your servant and wish to come with you to Amritsar. I wish to live in your feet and serve you.” Love was overflowing in his heart like the high tidal waves on the night of full moon. His eyes were shedding tears, his throat swelled, his hair on his body stood up. Guru ji said to his uncle: “Mammaji, you are old and a complete Brahmgyaani. The Chabarra is Guru Amardas ji’s place. You connect in Samadhi here with the supreme Akaal Purakh. Keep reciting the Mantra of Guru Nanak Dev ji. Stay blessed and your family will be blessed. Please be gracious to me from here. You can see the whole world; receive my news from here.” Baba Mohan ji obeyed Guru ji’s command. Baba Mohan ji did Parkarma of Guru Arjan Dev ji and bowed to his feet again. He went to the Chabarra and sat down in a Samadhi as he had been doing before. He recited Bani in his heart and recited the Mantra of Guru Nanak Dev ji. In this way, Sri Guru Arjan Dev ji received the Gurbani Pothis. He thought of Guru Amardas ji and bowed to him with joy.
