Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa! Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Just a question...what does it mean to be a AKJ?? I hear lots of people saying "yaa I wear a dastaar because I'm a AKJ", or " I took AKJ amrit."

What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
