BABA JAIMAL SINGH & HIS JOURNEY (Part 8 of 9)

For the next decade, Babaji continued to travel around the
Punjab, explaining the essence of Surat Shabda Meditation to countless
people, and initiating thousands into this ancient science of
spirituality. During this time, he was constantly in contact with
Sawan Singh. Sawan visited Beas often, serving Jaimal in whatever way
he could. Every time he visited, he asked if he could build a satsang
hall, dig a well, or enlarge Babaji’s hut (Sawan was a military
engineer). Babaji repeatedly demurred, saying he didn’t want to be
tied down to any one place. But Sawan persisted in his offers to
serve his Teacher. Finally, Jaimal acquiesced to a having a well dug,
and later a satsang hall built. But he told Sawan that he (Sawan)
would be tied to what he built, not Jaimal. Thus began Dera Baba
Jaimal Singh (the home of Radhasoami Satsang Beas).

In 1903 the satsang hall was completed. Jaimal’s devotees
requested that he give Satsang there, but Jaimal declined, saying,
“No, no, the Will of God is otherwise. He who is to succeed me shall
address you there.” When his students entered the hall, they found
Sawan sitting on the dais giving satsang. A few days later, on
December 29, 1903, Baba Jaimal Singh gave his final initiation,
returned to his room, and passed away.
