Written by Nirvail Singh
Meian - A Muslim peer shared his experience
Background of Meian
Meian- a muslim peer from Murkrian, district Pathankoat told us he used to compete with other holy people to defeat them in his life. He was doing this to build his name and property. Once he visited town Qadian, to participate in community religious ceremony. During his visit to Qadian he inquired from the Muslim community, if there is any other holy person living in the area. He wanted to show his power to his community in the area. They told him about Baba Faqir Chand Ji living in the Dhakoana . They believed that Baba Ji know the “Jadu of Bangal”- the miracle of Bangal. Miean decided to visit Baba Ji at Dhakoana to show his power and scare Baba ji.
Meian's Trick
When I visited Baba Ji, Baba Ji was cutting garss with a cutter (rambba) to feed his cows. I did namaste to Baba ji but Baba Ji looked at me with curiosity and said, “come in Meian”. I asked, :Baba Ji, any work if I can do? “Baba Ji replied, “I am cutting grass, here is another cutter you can do same”.” I started cutting grass along with Baba ji. It was very hot summer day and after some time our clothes got wet with sweat.
Baba Ji stopped and asked,” Meian, are you tired?”. I reeplied, “Yes, I am tired.” Baba Ji said, “ Meian, are you hungry?” I said, “Yes, I am hungry.” Baba Ji asked, “How many chapatis will you eat?” I replied, “As many you can bring, I will eat.” Baba Ji said, “I have stack (storage) of food for teen lok (3 lok),” I said, “Please bring three chapatis for me.” Baba Ji told Mata Ji to make 4 chapatis. We eat food together.
Baba Ji asked we should take rest. Baba Ji and I sat in Mata’s Mandir next to Baba Ji’s kutia. Baba Ji was facing east, and I was facing west. Baba Ji closed his eyes and started meditation of shabad. I started increasing my body size to show my power to scare Baba ji.
My body was almost touching the ceiling of Mandir and then, Baba Ji’s dog came in and sat near him. I took Baba Ji’s stick (khundi) and hit the dog. The dog started crying and run away, Baba Ji opened his eyes.
Baba Ji looked at me and asked what happened to my dog?” I said, “dog came and sat in the mandir and I hit the dog with stick”. Baba Ji got mad at me and said, “You beat my dog with stick?” You also have a dog in your body, then what I should do to you?” Looking at me, Baba Ji said, “You are not qualified to sit in in mandir, this is a sacred place, You increased your body very large to show me your Karamat. You do not know about me.” Baba ji asked me, to close my eyes and look for him. I tried and found nothing, Baba ji said, “look again” I saw nothing again. Baba Ji asked me to come out of the mandir and warned him to not do such cheap Karamat again with others. I learned that Baba ji is not a simple person he has reached to almighty. Meian promised, not to show his Karamat /tricks of yadu in future in this area across Bias river and decided to get help from Baba ji to reach his goal of Huzz.
Meian's visit to MACCA
It was a hot day, Baba Ji was taking rest under the shade of mango tree on his charpaie, when Meian visited, he touch Baba Ji feet to show respect and bow his head. Baba Ji got mad, and asked that why I touch his feet? I replied with respect that I am your follower. Baba Ji got more mad and said “you are not my follower” I replied, “Baba ji you have much more spiritual power than I, I am a Muslim please help me to show me the MECCA the secret place. Baba Ji got up put his shoes on and start walking and I started following him but Baba Ji moved fast and crossed the boundary of Dhakowana disapeared in the field of sugarcane crop. I searched him and failed to find him and finally went back to my place.
Next day the same story repeated again.
The following day, I came to Dhakowana to see Baba Ji ,and Baba Ji was taking rest again at same place under mango tree. I touched Baba Ji feet and Baba Ji opened his eyes and asked me, “what do you need now?” I requested Baba Ji that I am Muslim please help me to visit my sacared religious place macca in Bagdad. Baba Ji promised he will come tomorrow night to take him to Macca and asked me to be prepared for the journey.
Next evening I took shower again put wear clean cloths and start waiting for Baba Ji. At night when door knocked , I opened the door , I saw Baba Ji was there. Baba Ji asked me, “are you ready?” I replied, “Yes, I am ready. “ Baba Ji told me to come out from my room and asked about time time on clock.. I replied, “ it is 10 PM”. Babaji had one red colored dupatta on his left shoulder as usual attire, he hand over the red dupatta to me and asked me to cover my eyes. Once I comply to his commands he asked me to get on his back and grab his arms tightly and keep eyes closed. I followed his instructions, Baba ji started going somewhere, after about 15 minutes of travel Baba ji asked me to get down from his back and asked me open eyes and not to open dupatta from my eyes he asked me look at time and I noticed it was 10:15 pm.
Baba Ji then asked me take out dupatta from eyes, and look ahead to see the Macca. I was surprised as I opened my eyes, the holly Macca was in front of me and did my sajda (prayer). Baba Ji and I together was now walking around the holly place. I was very happy and at same times feeling fortunate to meet Baba ji. After a while, Baba Ji asked me If I have any other wish? I humbly replied since we came here already can I also look madeena a sacred religious place? Baba Ji then started walking towards mountain side, I followed as he commanded. After few minutes Baba Ji told me to tie up my eyes again with dupattaand get on his back with tight grip to his arms. In less than 2 minute Baba Ji asked me get off from his back and open eyes , When I opened my eyes I saw madeena a sacred place in front of me. I did my Huzz at Madeena and It was day time.
At 3:00 PM Baba Ji asked me time and said let's go back. I need to reach Qadian before 4:00 AM. I asked, “how we will go back?” Baba Ji replied, “we will go back the same way as we come here”. He asked me to close and cover my eyes and get on his back with tight grip to his arms. After ti get on his back he started walking, and about 16 minute later Baba Ji ask me to get off from his back, untie dupatta and open eyes. I and Baba Ji were out side my room. Baba Ji told me to go back in your room and close your door. I peeped out through my door I was unable to see Baba Ji and then after some time I opened door of my room and came out side , no one was there.
Next day I visit to see Baba ji. He was resting at same place near their kutia under mango tree. I touched his feet and folded my hands Baba ji warned me for not touching his feet and told me that I am not his follower. He was very angry at me. He told me not to tell this story to anyone during his life. Now since Baba ji passed away I want you all to know about it and I have trust in Baba Faqir Chand ji. I have decided to visit Dhakoana every year to seek blessings.
