The below story was shared with me by a Gursikh and I am posting it here to share with you…….
There was a Pandit Ji (I think his name was Mita Nand or Nita Nand) during the time of Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji. One day he was sitting in langar next to some Guru Ke Singh and he overheard them saying how long it takes them to get to Sachkhand. One Singh said, “I close my eyes and I get to Sachkhand and when I open them, I’m back here again, that is how fast it is”.
The Pandit Ji was shocked to hear this and went to Maharaj and said, “Maharaj Ji, tuwade sikh ehna jhoot bolde ne?” (Maharaj Ji, your Sikhs tell lies like that?)
Maharaj said, “Why Mita Nand, what happened?”
He went on to tell Maharaj what he had heard whilst sitting in langar and Maharaj started laughing. The Pandit Ji then said in the Vedas it says that a punni person, (somebody who does good deeds) takes a few months to get to Sachkhand and a pappi person, (somebody who does bad deeds) takes them a very very long time to get to Sachkhand. It’s almost impossible.
But how can your Sikhs say that they can get to Sachkhand by just closing their eyes? How is this possible Maharaj Ji?”
Maharaj then explained that doing good or bad deeds is very different from doing bhagti. Maharaj went on and said that a Guru Ka Sikh does not get involved with too much of each as his journey should have bhagti in it. Guru Sahib asked Mita Nand if he also wanted an avastha of the likes he had heard from the Singhs in langar. Mita Nand quickly replied, “Of course Maharaj”.
Maharaj told the Pandit Ji to do Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Ji 22 hours a day – one after the other followed by 2 hours of sleep for 6 months none stop. He was also told that while doing Sri Mool Mantar Sahib Ji he should also do seva in the langar.
The Pandit Ji said, “Satbachan” and followed Guruji’s instructions. After 6 months passed like this he came back to Guru Sahib and placed his head at Maharaj’s charankamal and said, “Maharaj Ji, your Sikhs do not lie! Now when I close my eyes I also go to Sachkhand and when I open them Im back here, just like that.
