Chapter “Bir Singh Bodh” on Page 123: Kabir Sagar
King Bir Singh had a young queen Sundardeyi. She had also taken initiation from Supreme God Kabir Ji. She had heard many satsangs, but had less faith. She did not use to recite naam (mantra), that is, she did not use to perform sadhna (religious practice). When the queen was in the final moments of her life, the messengers of Yam entered the Palace. Then the messengers of Yam entered into the queen’s body and started waiting for the last breath. At that time, Queen Sundardeyi started feeling uneasiness in her body. The messengers of Yam started being visible. The king asked the queen, “What is the matter?” The queen said, “I am not finding anything interesting - the kingdom, the palace, the ornaments, nothing.” The queen said, “Invite sadhus and devotees to hold a discussion about God.” Sadhus and devotees came and started discussing about God and doing bhakti. It was of no benefit. The suffering in the queen’s body increased further. She became short of breath. She started having laboured breathing. The soul abandoning the Hridya Lotus fearfully ran towards Trikuti. The messengers of Yam surrounded her from all sides. All the four messengers of Yam surrounding the soul said that - “Come with us. Hari (God) has called you.” Then the soul of the queen recalled the words of Satsang. She said to the messengers of Yam, “O Rapscallions! Wicked People! How did you come here? Our Satguru is our Master. You cannot take me. My Satguru Dhani (Master) has given me naam (mantra). I will go when my Guruji will come.” On hearing this, the messengers of Yam said, “If you have any master, then call him; otherwise come with us to the court of God.” The soul said: -
Dharni (earth) aakash se nagar niyara | tahaan nivaajae Dhani hamara ||
Agam shabd jab bhaakhae naau | tab yam jeev ke nikat nahin aaun ||
Meaning: - Initially, the queen did not believe that the knowledge that Satguru ji was imparting in the Satsang was true. She used to think that this is only a story because all the servants and maids used to come running on her orders. She used to eat whatever she wished, and wore beautiful clothes and ornaments. She had thought that she will continue to enjoy like this. This was the battery charged from previous life. Although she got the charger (mantra) in the present life, she did not switch it on, that is, she did not do sadhna. When the the battery gets discharged, all the facilities stop. Then neither the fan functions nor the bulb glows. One can keep switching on the buttons, but there is no action. Similarly, when the wealth of bhakti (charge) of the previous life of a soul finishes, all the facilities are taken away. The soul is put in hell. Then it realises. By then it is too late. There is nothing left other than remorse and crying. Queen Sundardeyi had listened to the satsang. She had taken initiation from a Complete Satguru. She had not earned the wealth of (recited) naam (mantra). She had not become Gurudrohi. She did not use to criticise the Guru. The queen remembered Satguru that – O Satguru! O my Master! The messengers of Yam have surrounded me. Please release this servant of yours. I have taken your initiation. Today I have realised that no one is of any help in this time of adversity, neither husband, nor wife, nor son-daughter, nor brother-sister, nor king, nor the public.” The soul of the queen remembered Satguru from her heart. Immediately, Satguru Kabir Ji appeared there. The queen ran and fell at the feet of Satgurudev ji. At that very moment, the messengers of Yam ran away and went to Hari, that is, Dharmraj, and told him that when her Satguru came, the whole place got illuminated.
The soul had recited Sat Sukrit mantra. That is all she remembered. Due to this reason, she was released from the messengers of Yam and her life was increased. Then the queen did bhakti with full dedication. Then Satguru Kabir Ji again imparted Satnaam and Saarnaam to her. She earned the wealth of recitation of mantra. The world started appearing vain to her. The kingdom, wealth and family seemed alien to her. The time of death seemed to be near. Due to this, the queen did bhakti by surrendering her body-mind-wealth in the feet of Satguru, and went to Satyalok. There, Supreme God (Satya Purush) in front of the soul of the queen asked His own other image of Satguru that – “O Kadihaar! (Saviour) How did the messengers of Yam stop my soul?” Kabir Ji in Satguru form said, “O Supreme God! She did not do bhakti after taking initiation. That is why the messengers of Yam had surrounded her. I released her.” Supreme God Kabir Ji asked the soul, “Why did you not do Bhakti? How did you come to Satyalok?”
Holding her head down, the soul said, “Earlier, I did not have faith. Then on seeing the torture of the messengers of Yam, I remembered You. Your knowledge seemed to be true. I invoked You. You saved me. Then I was again given life. I did your bhakti with full dedication then. After taking complete initiation, by Your grace alone, with the cooperation of Guru Ji, I have been able to reach here in your feet.” After going to Satyalok, a devotee is sent to the other devotees. One gets a beautiful, immortal body. One gets a huge residential palace. An aircraft is parked in the courtyard. Supernatural powers await orders. They instantly become active like electricity, just as on switching the button on, a machine that runs by electricity immediately starts functioning. Similarly, there is button (switch) of “word” there. Whatever you want, say it. That object or substance would appear before you. Like as soon as the desire to have food will arise, activities will start happening in your kichen. Plates and glasses will be served. After a short while, if one feels like having food, then one will be raised by supernatural power and kept in the kitchen. If a minute later, one wishes something else, then also all the arrangements will be made immediately. If one wishes to roam around, one will perceive an activity in the aircraft. As soon as one will go near the aircraft, its door will open. The aircraft will start. Whichever island one would wish to go to, the aircraft will fly towards it on thinking about it. As soon as you will wish for fruits, fresh fruits will be plucked from the trees and kept before you. This Kaal Lok is a copy of Satyalok. In the same way, there are families of males and females in Satyalok. In Satyalok, offsprings are produced in two ways – by word and through intercourse. It depends on the Hans. The area where offsprings are produced by word is all around the throne of Satpurush. The area where families are formed by males and females is beyond that. Those who produce offsprings only by word only produce males. There is no old age in Satyalok. In the region of males and females, both girls and boys are produced. They marry each other only by word. The children that are produced are the souls who have gone after being liberated from Kaal’s Lok. Then they never die, neither do they grow old. Those who go to Satyalok after being liberated are first of all made to have an audience with Satyapurush. At that time, they have the same appearance as they have on earth; if an old person goes from below, then there in front of Satpurush, he/she goes in the same state and appearance. His/her brightness becomes equivalent to the combined light of sixteen suns. Thereafter, one is sent to that place which is completely separate. After going there, his/her appearance remains the same, but the brightness of his/her body becomes equivalent to the light of sixteen suns. If a person has gone in old age from below, then he/she becomes young. If someone is young, then he/she remains young, and if someone is a child, then he/she remains a child. There, some are given the body of male or female by the word of Satpurush. Some are converted into a seed form, who then take birth once in someone’s family in Satyalok and acquire a family. In that place, those Hans, who have gone after being liberated from Kaal Lok and Akshar Lok, will take birth once. They are kept in a secluded place. They take birth in both the places (in the place where offsprings are produced by word and where they take birth from male-female). The percentage of those produced from male-female is more. The ratio is 10:90. 10% are produced by word and 90% are produced by the tradition of marriage.
In Satyalok, the brightness of the body of males and females is equivalent to the light of sixteen suns. Mini Satlok and Mansarover come prior to Satlok. There, the brightness of the body of both males and females is equal to the light of four suns. Then one goes ahead. When one reaches the Eighth Lotus formed in the Lok of ParBrahm, the brightness of the Hans and Hansni, that is, male and female becomes equivalent to the light of twelve suns. Then the brightness of everyone’s body becomes equivalent to the light of sixteen suns in the Bhanwar Cave built in Satyalok.

I am writing some excerpt from Page 21: -
Bhaya aanand fand sab chhodiya pahuncha jahan Satyalok mera ||
{Hansni (pious souls in female form) Hans (pious souls in male form)}
Hansni Hans sab gaay bajaay ke saaji ke kalash mohe len aaye ||
Yugan yugan ke bichhude miley tum aay kae prem kari ang se ang laay ||
Purush darsh jab deenha hans ko tapat bahu janm ki tab nashaaye ||
Palit kar roop jab ek sa keenha maano tab bhaanu shodash (16) ugaaye ||
Pahup ke deep payush (nectar) bhojan karein shabd ki deh sab hans paai ||
Pushp ka sehra hans aur hansni Sachchidanand sir chhatr chhaay ||
Deepaen bahu damini damak bahu bhaanti ki jahan ghan shabd ko ghamod laayi ||
Lagey jahan barasne ghan ghor kae uthat tahan shabd dhuni ati sohaayi ||
Sunn sohaen hans-hansni yutth (pairs-groups) hvae ekahi noor ek rang raagae ||
Karat bihaar (stroll) man bhaavni mukti mein karm aur bhram sab door bhaage ||
Rank aur bhoop (king) koyi parakh aavae nahin karat kolahal bahut paagey ||
Kaam aur krodh madlobh abhimaan sab chhadi paakhand sat shabd laagey ||
Purush ke badan (body) kaun mahima kahun jagat mein upma kachhu naahin paayi ||
Chand aur soor (sun) gan jyoti laagae nahin ek hi nakh (nail) prakash bhaai ||
Parvana jin naad vansh ka paaiya pahunchiya Purush ke lok jaayi ||
Kah Kabir yahi bhaanti so paaiho Satya Purush ki raah so prakat gaayi ||
Meaning: - It is clear in this nectar-speech that when Supreme God Kabir Ji in Satguru form took Dharmdas ji from Earth to Satyalok, on the way 9 places came e.g. Naasoot, Malkoot, these are Farsi words. Beyond these seven skies, beyond the places of Achint, Vishnu etc when he reached Satyalok, then Dharmdas ji is saying that Hans (males) and Hansni (females) of Satyalok while singing and dancing and playing musical instruments like drum etc came to respectfully receive me with females carrying pitcher on their heads. The brightness of their body was equivalent to the light of sixteen suns. Even the brightness of my body became equivalent to the light of sixteen suns like them.
A hans, who goes from Earth after attaining salvation, is taken to Puhap Dweep. There are all comforts there. It is a part of Satyalok. So, first of all, the soul who has gone from below after attaining salvation is kept in Puhap Dweep. Its scene is being depicted. From here, the soul is born in a family in other places. After this, there is description of that place where males and females reproduce to form a family; where groups of pairs of males and females sit and chat happily. The clouds rumble and it rains. This is a separate place where the residents of Satlok go for picnic. There are some places where no clouds are visible but it rains.
