He was the brother of Lala Baikunth Nath. After the passing away of Lala Baikunth Nath, Lala Guramal became greatly attached to Shri Babaji Bhagwan and began to serve Shri Babaji Bhagwan with the same zeal and devotion with which his brother had served him. During those days he was passing through numerous difficulties in life and he would always come before Shri Babaji Bhagwan and pray to him: “Please remove my troubles. I am in great distress!”
Mareeze ishq par raihmat Khudaa kee,
Marz barrhtaa gayaa joon joon davaa dee
May the Lord have mercy on him afflicted by the pain of Love,
For the affliction became worse even as the medicine was given!
His troubles did not go away, and one day he said in great despair to Shri Babaji Bhagwan:
“O Babaji! Please send me away so that I may turn to the world! It is impossible for me to leave thee myself because of the manner in which thou hast captured my heart!”
However Shri Babaji Bhagwan was like a doctor who has his duties to his patient and will not leave him even if the patient wants to run away. The doctor does whatever he thinks is best for his patient.
As time passed, Lala Gurumal’s devotion in Shri Babaji Bhagwan reached such a peak that he forgot the sufferings of the world altogether.
He became perfectly at peace within. Nothing existed for him now except Shri Babaji Bhagwan.
