Aayal Mal from Ghotki was a poor man who owned a small piece of land. He planned to construct a well on his land, but he only had one silver coin to pay for the expenses. He decided to melt the silver coin to get the money needed to build the well and live the rest of his life happily.
However, when Aayal Mal started the construction of the well, he faced several problems. The mud was not suitable for the construction, causing it to slip down repeatedly, and the work stopped.
Aayal Mal was disheartened as the construction of his well repeatedly failed due to the unsuitable mud. Seeking guidance, he visited Bhai Chandumal’s temple where a Pundit ji advised him that the cause of his misfortune was not the mud, but his past sins. The Pundit ji also pointed out that despite many wells in the vicinity, Aayal Mal had failed to build one on his own land because he was paying for his past misdeeds. The only solution, the Pundit ji suggested, was to seek the help of Sain Satramdas Sahib, who could relieve him of his karmic burdens.
Bhai Aayal Mal felt safe and protected under the guidance of Saint Satramdas Sahib, and he eagerly awaited the chance to meet him. His eagerness was so strong that it made it difficult for him to sleep at night. The following morning, he rushed to the station to buy a third-class ticket to Raharki Sahib. At the station, he saw several other people from his city who were also waiting for Saint Satramdas Sahib. They informed him that the Saint would be traveling by train and would stop briefly at the Ghotki station.
Excitement overtook Bhai Aayal Mal, and he began to contemplate how he could impress Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib. As the train arrived, he quickly made his way towards the Saint and bowed down at his feet to show his reverence.
Saint Satramdas Sahib embraced him and offered him Patashas, a sweet made with sugar, as Prashad. He then instructed Aayal Mal to put the Patashas in the well, assuring him that God would have mercy on him. Following Sai Satramdas Sahib’s advice, Aayal Mal put the Patashas in the well and miraculously, the work of digging the well, which was expected to take at least 5 days, was completed by evening. Everyone was amazed, and expressed their gratitude towards Saint Satramdas Sahib. He was known for his unwavering commitment to help those in need, as he believed that everyone was equal in his eyes.
Over time, Aayal Mal’s fortune changed, and he became very wealthy. In honor of Sant Sai Satramdas Sahib, he organised a feast at the well, serving food to everyone in the community.
