“All should be charitable according to their means and sources. The needy should be provided with clothing and food. Generosity never leads to exhaustion but the riches drain away by foul ways.”
-Sri Satguru Ram Singh Ji
Mata Jiwan Kaur, reverend mother, was a pious lady with a tender heart. She had love for all. None went away empty handed from her door. Bleeding souls felt relieved of pain by her touch. She equally shared woes and worries of the enemies of the Panth and looked after them more dearly than her own ones. Her loveable nature and service without discrimination brought fame and glory to Sri Bhaini sahib.
It is well known, that after the deportation of Satguru Ram Singh Ji, there were black days for the community. The kookas neither could enter nor leave this holy place without permission. Even Satguru Hari Singh Ji was not allowed to visit other places without complying with formalities.
Mata Ji worked for the langar day and night. Though food stuff ran short, yet the kind mother did not allow anyone to go without having food. Mr. War Burton Supt. Police Ludhiana, very often paid surprise visits at night to know the truth but he returned fully convinced of kind heartedness of Mata Ji.
At Sri Bhaini Sahib notorious Ghamanda and its party left no stone unturned to defame the holy place & gave false reports to the govt. thought the apostle in Court in many cases, yet it was Mata Jiwan Kaur, who always helped Ghamanda in the hour of need. Their members of the family were provided with food and cloth, whenever she learnt their unbearable condition. She used to place flour, ghee and sugar near the entrance at sun-set, so that his children not remain hungry.
When the great mother passed away in 1939 AD Ghamanda was among the mourners with the broken heart. They expressed their grief by saying that they have lost their mother. A poet has rightly said:-
buirAW nwl sB burw kmWdy, mwP krn keI isAwxy[
buirAW nwl muV nykI krnI, ieh guru nwnk jwxy[
Everyone treats the evil-doers badly, only a few intellectuals pardon them. Guru Nanak teaches to be good to all evildoers.
