A STORY OF LOVE AND DEVOTION
Dedicated to Sant Kirpal Singh who used to write many beautiful poems in love with Baba Sawan Singh

Whatever He saw, whatever He witnessed He wrote in the form of poems. His aunt (Taiji) used to sing the poems and Baba Sawan Singh would like to hear them.
Out of the madness of love, we will see You;
The One Whom I love will come.
He must come!
We will see my loved One!
Out of the madness of love, we will see You;
The One Whom I love will come.
Out of the madness of love, we will see You;
O Master Sawan, we must see You!
O Perfect One, we will see You!
Out of the madness of love, we will see You;
The One Whom I love will come.
Out of the madness of love, we will see You;
O Master Sawan, we must see You!
O Perfect One, we will see You!

One time after taking bath, Baba Sawan Singh was cleaning His mouth with towels, and Sant Kirpal Singh at once felt, "At least I stay with Master but still I must stay at a little distance. But these towels are very fortunate, as they are very close to Master’s body. So, these towels are more fortunate than me. How beautiful, if Master made me also a towel for His face!"

He went back and wrote a beautiful poem in praise of the Master and in praise of the towels. Taiji knew it, and she took this poem to the Master. Baba Sawan Singh said, "I think today you have brought a beautiful thing for me". She said, "Master, I have one condition, if You want to hear it. You have to give something to me. But I will also give You something in return." She brought one dozen of fresh towels and kept them beside her. Then she sang about the union of the towels with Master – how fortunate these towels were as they were very close to the Master power. When she sang this poem, Baba Sawan Singh was very happy. He said, "What is your demand?" She said to Baba Sawan Singh, "Please, give me all those towels and take these fresh ones." And she took all those towels which were in the bathroom of the Master and brought them back to Sant Kirpal Singh saying, "Now, what You demand is here."

It happened that Sant Kirpal Singh went to Amritsar, and Hazur Baba Sawan Singh was expected to arrive there. All were sitting, waiting for His arrival when the message came that the Master was not coming. Some people dispersed, but Kirpal Singh remained there. He wrote this poem: "Whom I love will come", going around in madness. After about one hour, Hazur came there. When on a tour this poem was sung, Sant Kirpal Singh remarked, "Love is a very strong power. Like a glass that does not show your face unless you put something behind it, similarly the love polish at the back reflects the Master within – the God within you."

Baba Sawan Singh wanted to show His due love for Kirpal Singh
One day Baba Sawan Singh said, "Well, I want to go somewhere and those persons who want to come along with me, they should come." They all went with Him, and who were those people? Those who wanted the Mastership from Him, who wanted each and everything from Him, they wanted to overrule all those things, which Master (Sawan Singh) never liked. So, they had created their own sphere there. They were very happy to come along with Baba Sawan Singh. While on the way, Baba Sawan Singh said, "There is so much fragrance, it is intoxicating me. It is coming from that side; do you also feel it?" They said, "No Master, we do not feel it at all." Soon afterwards Master again asked, "I think it is so strong, you must feel it a little bit." They answered, "No Master, there is no fragrance, and we are not feeling such an intoxication. We are only feeling Your presence, that is a blessing for us." Baba Sawan Singh went on, and ultimately, they reached the Beas station. There some arrangements were already made for sitting. Whom was Master waiting for? For whom He loved. Sant Kirpal Singh was coming to Beas by train, and Baba Sawan Singh wanted to meet Him directly at the railway station. This is the love between the Master and the disciple – He was waiting for His disciple at the railway station.

No one knew (the meaning of this), because it was the first chance to see this miracle in their life; it was a miracle for them, that a Master is going to fetch His disciple from the railway station. Actually, Baba Sawan Singh had even no time, the whole Ashram being full of disciples – lots of people coming from all over India and from abroad. It was a beautiful thing that Master left all the work and went to the railway station just to show His love and affection for Kirpal Singh.

When they were sitting there, Baba Sawan Singh again said, "Now this whole atmosphere is full of fragrance, there is so much vibration, so much intoxication, don’t you feel it? Might be, you are feeling it now?" They all were very surprised to hear these words from the Master all the time, the same words He was telling on the way there. "What is this intoxication? What is going on and what is it that Baba Sawan Singh wants to tell us? What further lesson is it that Master wants to give us? He has brought us here for a special purpose." But no one knew who would be coming and who was wishing for Him so much. But when the train came nearer, Baba Sawan Singh stood up and said, "Well, when He will see me, He will jump from the train." So, Baba Sawan Singh took His hand above and shouted, "Kirpal Singh, wait, don't jump!" But the train stopped exactly where Baba Sawan Singh was standing, and He embraced Him.

Then Baba Sawan Singh remarked that, when the disciple starts to come to the Master, the disciple becomes receptive and he smells that fragrance which comes from the Master and vibrates the whole atmosphere. This fragrance is already in the body and is working there, and we can smell it if we become receptive. He said, "When a true disciple starts to meet the Master, the Master also experiences the same. He also gets the fragrance from His disciple.
