When he reached the age of eleven years, he was still popularly  called  ‘Mastana’ (Carefree) in the village. Some would consider him a holy person and address him accordingly. But he had risen above the petty consideration of respects and insults, happiness and sorrow and other mortal traits. So with whatever name he was addressed, he would reply. He was ever engrossed in the happiness of his association with the Lord’s lotus feet.

One day he said to his mother, “we have to go now.”  His mother thought that he was planning to go some where like he has been doing previously, and would come back after some time. So she gave him permission to go. Who can know the state of mind and innate feelings of great souls ?  Obtaining permission from his mother, he left his home for good. Following the spiritual path he reached the abode of Sant Ram Singh ji of Dhilwan. He went through a course of Gurbani recitation including understanding its meanings. He understood the deep connotations of the worship in general and Sikhism in particular. He further strengthened his spiritual believes. During his stay of many years at this place, he learnt Vedant and Sikh philosophy and acquired adequate knowledge of Sikh history. Sant Ram Singh ji who was popularly known as ‘Soosianwale’ was a great scholar, adopt in Yog Shastar and Vedas. So, after imparting necessary knowledge to him and seeing his love, unprecedented inclination in worship and devotion to  God, Sant Ram Singh ji changed  his name from Nehal Singh to Harnam Singh. Thereafter he was sent to abode of  Sant Mal Singh ji Nijjran. He further improved upon his spiritual education. He would spend most of his time in worship, recitation of Gurbani and meditation on His name. The holy congregation and other great and pious souls visiting the dwelling always found him in deep meditation of  God Lord in a secluded spot.         

He was aware that humility and humbleness are essential requisites for the worship of God. The mind should be free of pride and the thoughts high. The worldly cleverness, praises and respects are worthless. The path of love and devotion leads to the ultimate reality of oneness with God. The worldly ocean can be crossed by worship of the God. Gods worship is the true aim of human life. As the names of saints like Dhru Prahlad, Kabir, Namdev and Ravidas are immortal in the world, similar infallibility is obtained by His devotes. Who worship Him without desires of any return.  But such worship is achieved by the grace of God and service of His devotes. Constant meditation of His name coupled with service purifies the heart. The mind becomes humble and modest. The evils of lust, anger, greed, attachment and pride disappear from his personality. Not only he alone but his whole family is emancipated.
