Autobiography bhai rama singh ji

The Punisher of Evil‐doers: Guru Gobind Singh Ji

I asked, "Khalsa Ji, I would ask one more question. India was such a great power, how did Khalsa achieve victory?"

Khalsa Ji, “Tyrannical arrogance is not acceptable to Har Ji (God)

"Acting in egotism, peace is not obtained. The intellect of the mind is false; only the Lord is True.

All who love duality are ruined. People act‐as they are pre‐ordained. || 1 || I have seen the world to be such a gambler; all beg for peace, but they forget the Naam, the Name of the Lord. || 1 || (SGGS p. 222)

"Everyone knows that there was a war between Ram Ji and Rawan. Rawan was arrogant that there was no warrior greater than him. That he had so many sons.

"Ram passed away, as did Raawan, even though he had a very large family. Says Nanak, nothing lasts forever; the world is like a dream." (SGGS p. 1429) (Note for Gurmatt research student: Compare with Gurbani confirmation, especially in Sukhmani Sahib, that the Lord is True and so is His creation. Therefore, "like a dream" according to Gurmatt should be equated to what is described as not stable (mithia) in Sukhmani Sahib (e.g. Astpadi 5.4&5). It is false to treat life or creation as permanent, for both will pass like a dream (if the real opportunity offered by human life is not used to achieve harmony with the Lord)).

"A fortress like that of Sri Lanka, with the ocean as a moat around it — there is no news about that house of Raavan. || 1 || What shall I ask for? Nothing is permanent. I see with my eyes that the world is passing away. || 1 || Pause || Thousands of sons and thousands of grandsons — but in that house of Raavan, the lamps and wicks have gone out. || 2 ||" (SGGS p. 481)

"He was proud that his city of Lanka was made of gold. He was also proud that he had been blessed with immortality. He thought that Ram Chandar Ji did not have any army, and that it would be easy to kill him. There were only three of them: Ram Chandar, Lashman and Hanuman.

To crush Rawan's pride, Ram Chandar used divine power.

"Secondly, Daryodhan was very proud that he had on his side the great warriors and war equipment, and that the Pandav's had nothing. That he was bound to win. Daryodhan did not understand that Bhagwan Krishan did not like his arrogance. To humble him, Krishan supported the Pandavs. Daryodhan was killed with his army and the Pandavs were victorious.

"Thirdly, India too was proud that they had much power with a large army and war equipment.

They too, in their arrogance, did not hesitate from attacking Harmandar Sahib. As Ram Ji and Krishan used divine powers, in the same way Guru Ji granted divine power to the Panj Piaray to uproot evil.

"As Guru Gobind Singh Ji granted divine power to Banda Singh Bahadur and instructed him to avenge the death of the younger Sahibzaday and, that no one would withstand him. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji's words are:‐

"I shall give a single Khalsa the strength and courage to fight sawa lakh (i.e. one hundred and twenty five thousand: symbolic of unlimited courage). Only then shall I be called Gobind Singh."
