Compassion
Dr. Singh liked simplicity – a symbol of true spirituality, both in his life and in his writings. One of his friends Prof. Bijoy Boruah from the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur observed, “…his is a greatness to be felt by a perceptive observer, who can pierce through the veil of his simplicity, humility and forthrightness.” Prof. Boruah was still not contented and wrote further, “… One of the finest aspects of the personality of Dr. Singh is that he does not give the impression of being spiritually aloof from the common person. Rather, one feels spiritually akin to him as soon as one faces him. The soft smile that he always wears on his face, and gently expresses through his eyes, strikes me as a wonderful symbol of the kind of stable contentment that genuine spirituality promises.”

His genuine and gentle dealings drew many hearts. “… it will be an honor if I can also treat you like a father since I also feel very much attached to you. … The more I mix with spiritual people like you, the more I feel that we are really one big family,” poured Dr. Amir Farid Isahak, Chairman of Interfaith Spiritual Fellowship, Malaysia. “Compassion and love in Dr. Singh go beyond the barriers of race and religious background,” concurred the late Father Maximilian Mizzi from Assisi, Italy.

Nobel Laureate in Physiology or Medicine (1978)
In the last decade of his life, I had the lucky occasion to
meet the spiritual leader Dr. T. D. Singh at three occasions in
my office at the University of Basel. In very lively and friendly
discussions we touched scientific and spiritual questions
related to the genetics and the evolution of living organisms.
These debates benefited from a deep, mutual understanding,
in which the importance of devoting particular attention to
the interface between scientific knowledge and spirituality
was highlighted. While Dr. Singh particularly appreciated
my scientifically based views on the process of biological
evolution, I enjoyed his spiritual views based on traditional
wisdom as well as his open-minded readiness to co-integrate
on common grounds our knowledge and beliefs in order to
improve our humble understanding of the great complexity of life.
