A fictional story written by Rajveer Singh Khalsa
There was a secondary school with about 300 teenagers.
In these times when the mind is very distracted among teenagers, many have an identity crisis and hold much fear in their bodies.
There was a spiritual, awakened Being whom decided to work at the school. He felt he wanted to serve the students in a most unique way.
People called him Maha Akaal Singh.
He was deeply meditative, silent, aware and kind of mystical. He had a glow that was radiant.
He crowned himself with a beautiful Dastaar and wore simple janitor clothing.
He actually was a very wealthy being but disguised himself to serve these teenagers at the school in ways you cannot imagine.
One Day, while Maha Akaal Singh was cleaning the boy’s toilet, a student came in, locked himself in a cubicle and started wailing, crying. He felt depressed as the other students were picking on him.
Maha Akaal Singh heard him crying, stood straight, closed his eyes, tuned in to that teenager, and felt his pain.
As the boy walked out of the stall, Maha Akaal Singh said to him, looking deep into his eyes, “You are priceless. It is not your fault, if they come to bully you. When it happens again, simply look into the leader’s eyes and chant this mantra.” (Maha Akaal gave him a specific mantra to use). “Chant it silently and chant it from your stomach. The intensity of the bullying will start to decrease.
If you need help, this is my contact, call me. I will teach you self-defense to build a strong meditative mind.”
The boy was stunned, since he had told no one about the bullying. How did this school cleaner know?
Maha Akaal Singh helped many students daily in ways you cannot imagine.
He did it silently and never advertised himself. His presence just calmed all those who met this janitor, and they felt joyfully elevated
However, for some strange reason none of the students were able to tell others this. They just could not tell others about Maha Akaal Singh, even though they wanted to.
He had a mystical presence and somehow God hid him in a way where the world could not advertise his seva (act of serving).
Maha Akaal Singh was radiant, strong, highly compassionate. He could feel people and feel their pain.
“When you serve others in pain, God sees you.” ~Yogi Bhajan Ji
