Islam Rediscovered
17. Prophetic Vision
~ 304 ~
In the case of Guru Gurbachan Singh of Delhi, chief
of Nirankari mission, some of his devotees visited
my office and claimed that their guru was the
Prophet of the time. I said that if they believed that
to be true, I would come to see their guru, and they
were to ask him actually to make the assertion that
he was a Prophet of God. They said that they would
request their guru to do so and that he would
certainly utter these words in my presence. I further
added that on that occasion I shall not debate his
claim. After listening to those words from the lips of
the guru, I would come back without questioning it.
The devotees talked to their guru, and fixed the
date and the time. At the appointed hour I went to
the Sant Nirankari Mandal (New Delhi), where I
was ushered into the Guru’s chamber. His devotees
too were present along with me. Their faces showed
that they were convinced that the guru would utter
the desired words. I stayed with the guru for about
an hour. He continued to talk to me about his
mission all this while, but he never uttered these
words. For I had given my word to his devotees
that I would neither question him nor enter into any
debate, so after waiting for one hour, I finally left.
