"you Have Only One Month To Live"

[Guest Guest]

Vaheguru jee kaa Khalsa Vaheguru jee kee fateh!

Imagine if someone told you that you were going to die in one month. What would you do? Well, this happened in reality to a fortunate person, not very long ago.

I heard this story, that occurred about 10 years ago in my native village in India. There lived in that village a person called Ravel Singh. Ravel Singh did not learn to read and write as was the case in our villages in the 40s and 50s, and as such could not read Gurbani. When he grew up to be a youth, he became entangled in bad company and started drinking and doing other bad things. In short he led a life of a saakat (manmukh, bemukh) all his life.

I dont know much about his other life but towards the end of his life a very interesting incident occurred. He met a Gurmukh pyaara, in whose sangat he started thinking about his life. This singh was a chardi kala wala singh. He felt sorry for Ravel Singhs dark and sinful life.

One day Ravel Singh who had now stopped cutting his hair, came to see this Gurmukh Pyaara. He got a shock of his life when the Singh told Ravel Singh told he had only one month to live and that he was going to die in one month. Ravel Singh was healthy and was not too old. He did not expect to die but had faith in the bachan (saying) of this singh.

Ravel Singh got really worried when he heard this and told the singh that he was worried about his future in next life as he had done nothing good in his life. The singh in turn told Ravel Singh that as he had never learned how to read and write, he could not do paath. The Gurmukh Pyaara told the Ravel Singh to take amrit as soon as possible and do abhyaas day and night.

Ravel Singh brought all his faith to this Singhs bachan. Within couple of days, he was able to take amrit. In the meantime, he had his family build a kulli (a small hut) in his agricultural land. There he stayed for one month and immersed himself in naam and naam alone. He could not sleep at night as he had great fear of death. He had no more wishes and could not care less for any worldly things. He had no interest in eating good food. His family used to provide food to him at his kulli. He never cared what he was eating and how much. All he did day and night was naam naam and more naam.

As a result of about 25 days of continuous naam, his sins got washed away. He passed away very peacefully, while engaged in naam about a month after that singh had told him.

Some chardi kala singhs can even help u fix ur deeds co'z gurbani has praises the lover of waheguru with wisdom/vision in Sukhmani Sahib.

We certainly can't help ourself when time comes but only gurmukhs can pervant the suddenness. This Veerji is just telling us an inspiring story and wondering the greatness of gurmukh's humble service to the munmukh. We shudn't wait untill the old days to come so we cloud have fun, but remeber Waheguru day and night cco'z who knows whats next....
