The Bibi Sukhdev Kaur Story (Translated by Tapoban Admin)

Written by Bhai Thakaur Singh

From a very young age Bibi Sukhdev Kaur received encouragement from Bhai Sahib

Randheer Singh jee to do paath and he himself had her read for him. Bibi jee would

bathe, put on fresh clothes and then commence the paath as Bhai Sahib would stand

behind her. Bhai Saahib would do Chaur with one hand and put his other hand on her

head. Usually, only I, Thakur Singh, was the listener. I learned there that when the

beloveds of the Guru give their blessings, consciousness can fly into the heavens. Not

only in keertan are the sweet arrows of love released, but even in GurbaaNee paath these

arrows are felt. These nectar like arrows affect not only the soul but even the body. I

remember that I could only listen to this divinely inspired paath for a half hour or fourty

five minutes. I would then request she stop. Those days are hard to forget. The entire

atmosphere would be perfumed with Keertan and GurbaaNee paath.

Like this, some time passed. Bibi Sukhdev Kaur grew up and a great test came before

her. The Bibi was engaged to marry into a family of manmukhs. When talk of her

marriage arose, Bibi Sukhdev Kaur told her mother that she would only marry a Gursikh.

She could not marry a Manmukh. Her entire family was worried, especially her brother

who was of a very

harsh nature. When Bibi Sukhdev Kaur’s brother found out what she

was saying, he told her “This marriage arrangement is already made and furthermore they

are our relatives. Think about it. This marriage is going to happen now. And if not, I have

an axe...and a sword too. We’ll finish you off”

Bibi jee in those days used to meditate on naam with great spiritual ecstasy and in this

state, Guru jee gave her faith. She replied to her brother, “your decision is right in your

eyes and my decision is also eternal. You can do what you want”

The brother drew his sword and despite the protests of their mother, dragged Bibi

Sukhdev Kaur into the animals’ yard. He said “Now something is going to happen." Bibi

jee replied, “you are proud of your sword and I am proud of my Guru. Only that will

happen which he approves of.” Seeing her firmness, the brother brought Bibi jee back to

her mother and told her to convince her daughter. The mother began to cry and lay down

on the bed beside Bibi jee. Bibi jee told us that in this frightening situation, her simran

was going with great power and there was no sign of fear within her. Guru jee, the True

Lord, then appeared in person before her and gave her courage and blessed her with a

simarnaa (this simarnaa is still with the Bibi). Then what? Bibi jee became totally ready

for anything. She said “Brother, you can do what you want to me. My Satguru jee has

arrived!” The brother thought for a moment and then threw down his sword. He

exclaimed, “Fine. You have won and we have lost. Tell us, where shall we marry you?”

Bibi jee replied, “Only Bhai Sahib can tell you that”.

It was fate, that that day I had sent my nephew Dyaal Singh to Bhai Sahib with something

to give to him. When Bibi jee told Bhai Sahib what had happened the previous night and

how Satuguru jee had himself appeared and protected her, Bhai Sahib became very happy

and called for me that very morning.

I arrived at Narnagvaal an

d he related the entire story to me. I put my head at his feet.

Sanjog (those whom we are to meet) are determined before our birth. Bibi Sukhdev Kaur

was sitting there, and approval was given for her marriage to my nephew.

Bibi jee went home and told her family what had happened and when her family found

out what an educated and suitable boy had been found, they all went to Bhai Sahib’s

house and the ardaas for the engagement was performed. Bhai Sahib was overjoyed. He

said to me, “Jogee! This is the blessing of the True Lord! You have preserved our honour.

The lord shall bless you immensely."

After this, the marriage took place with great fanfare. Bhai Sahib till the end gave

immense love to Bibi Sukhdev Kaur and Bibi jee too lived her entire life according to

Gurmat.
