Vaisakhi is certainly a joyous time, every Gursikh and every Premi of Dasam Patshah is filled with love and happiness when thinking of what this day means. Many celebrations take place on this day... but whenever I see these things, I am always reminded of a beautiful Gurmukh Sikh of Guru Sahib I once read about. This incident actually took place on Bandi Chor Divas (Divali), yet it can apply to all occasions the panth celebrates. Dhan are Gursikhs who have found the jot within them. The following incident is from the life of Sant Baba Bishan Singh Ji Murarewale of Damdami Taksal (credit to ikonkaar.blogspot.com) "Baba ji had such a good lifestyle and had reached a great spiritual state that once on the night of Diwali, a few Gursikhs asked them to come outside and see the candles and lights the sangat had lighten. Baba ji gave them the following reply: "For many years now I haven't looked up to see the ceiling of this room. I haven't seen the moon, the sun or the stars. Why do we need to see these lights of the universe? Let me stay here and see the light of Waheguru in my heart, the lighter of all of these lights."" Just a little thought I will leave you with on this day of celebration.
