PRECIOUS PEARLS
(SAYINGS OF BABA GURBACHAN SINGH JI)

"H"

 

HAPPY HOMES
Husband and wife are the two wheels of the chariot of the family and the children, the riders. If even one of the wheels is shaky or out of tune, the chariot is sure to jolt, even crash, causing harm and hurt to the chariot and the riders. Mutual respect and regard, trust and confidence, co-operation and understanding, among members of the family, make for a happy home.

 

HEAD
An organisation runs smoothly only if it is headed by one who commands the respect and confidence of all. Similarly, by acknowledging God as the Supreme Head, humanity can live in peace and bliss.

 

HOLY BATH
A holy bath cannot cleanse the sin of causing suffering to others.

 

HOLY PERSONAGES: HEALERS
As the physicians treat physical maladies, the holy personages heal spiritual ailments.

 

HOLY PERSONAGES: ONE
All the holy personages are one in the sense that they cherish one and the same mission – redemption of mankind. The time and place of their manifestation is immaterial.

 

HOLY PLACES REVIVE FAITH
Today, the palatial monuments, in which the great kings and powerful emperors once lived, have no more than historical interest. On the other hand, the small and humble huts, wherein the holy seers lived, are places of pilgrimage and worship, reviving faith and devotion for them and for God.

 

HOLY PLACE: WHERE GOD GLORIFIED
Holy is the place where God is eulogised and glorified.

 

HOLY WORDS
One must live up to the holy words to become holy.

 

HOUSEHOLD LIFE
Practically, all the holy personages gave the pride of place to household life and led an enlightened exemplary family life.

 

HUE
Whoso is dyed in the Godly hue is immune to worldly hues.

 

HUMILITY: GUIDING STAR
Humility is the guiding star for the pilgrim’s progress.

 

HUMILITY: FRUITFUL
Ignorant people may mock at the humility of the devotees, because they know not its worth. The seed that mingles with the dust and loses its identity, one day sprouts into a plant and grows up into a fruit-bearing tree.

 

HUMILITY: ROYAL ROAD
Humility is the royal road to greatness and glory.

 

HUMILITY: STATUS
Those entrusted with some organisational or missionary status should be all the more humble.

 

HUMILITY: TRUTH
Those, who are humble and conscious of their own shortcomings, realize Truth.

 

HUNGER
Material riches cannot satiate spiritual hunger.

 

HYPOCRISY
Though people acknowledge that the human body, mind and wealth, belong to God, yet they behave as masters of these assets. Consequently, they suffer.

 

HYPOCRITE
A hypocrite can never be a true devotee of God.
