earth with His physical presence for a period of 240 years from 1469 to 1708, passed on His legacy to Sri Guru Granth Sahib His true, live and eternal Representative for the redemption of posterity. Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj provides us a perfect model worthy of emulation. He proved by His unique life-style that whatever was prescribed in holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib was to be contemplated with all humility and veneration, was to be diligently followed and was to be practically lived. There was complete harmony between the eternal truths Babaji talked of and His own truthful living. Babaji had taken an unprecedented plunge into this Ocean of Divinity with all yearning and with all mental and physical faculties well directed and focussed on the Supreme Goal . He had absolute conviction that Sri Guru Granth Sahib was God and He yearned, thirsted to realize and see God face to face, to intimately talk to His beloved Lord, to humbly and lovingly serve Him with His own hands. God revealed Himself to Baba Nand Singh ji Maharaj in all His Glory and that is what Sri Guru Granth Sahib stood for and meant to Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj. Whereas for others Sri Guru Granth Sahib represents a mere holy scripture, for Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj, Sri Guru Granth Sahib stands for the all powerful, luminous, omni-present God. Ardaas by Mahan Babaji before the Holy Sri Guru Granth Sahib included this :
Kalyug Ke Bohit, Nam Ke Jahaj ; the great redeeming ship for an entire epoch of kalyug is not a small ship designed for a fraction of mankind only or for a small period of few hundred or few thousand years; this Divine ship has unlimited capacity like God to ferry across the entire mankind across this burning ocean of kalyug. This Divine ship transcends all imaginative limits of space, and time and age. Guru Nanak the Fifth, compiled and composed Sri Guru Granth Sahib. The Lord had assumed a human garb as an epoch maker for the redemption of suffering humanity.
Immensity of this ship can be easily comprehended from the redeeming power of each and every hymn of Sri Guru Granth Sahib. It can accommodate the whole human race, generations after generations, for all times to come. This great ship is designed for global and universal salvation and is not to be viewed as restricted to only one individual, group, community, sect or nation. Elixir of Nam flows from each hymn of Sri Guru Granth Sahib and each hymn contains the ambrosial words of Sri Guru Nanak Sahib sung in the Glory of the Lord. |
