Sangat ji following is poem by a realllllly Chardi Kalla Gursikh bhenji of mine who wishes to remain anonymous no.gif she is really inspiring in all walks of life and I'm sure the poem below will inspire you all

My Lord, I never imagined feeling the way I do.

As I wake in the hours of the early morn, I glance over at your creation

and I feel breathless, taken aback and unable to capture the real beauty of

your World.

Many a time, I have looked at this creation and not even realised within

this, I see you.

In the green of the leaves, in the blue of the Sky; I imagine your chariot

gliding. You Oh Infinite Perfect Lord have been residing here for so many

lifetimes, yet I have never once even noticed.

As the ambrosial water calls me to cleanse, I feel this water trickle

through my hair. I breathe in the fresh clean air and wonder what the day

will have in store for me.

I don't wonder for too long as I begin to recite the magnificence of Jap

Jee. My heart is filled with love as these words of beauty escape these

unworthy lips. I know I am not able to even begin to wonder about this

recitation if it wasn't for the glance you, Oh Lord have upon this pitiful

daughter of yours.

I begin to adorn myself with the robes you have blessed me with... as I

glance in the mirror, I start to tie this beauty of cloth around my long

uncut hair. I look deeper, and notice, this is not any mere cloth. It is in

fact the jewel encrusted crown of you My Lord. Adorned with diamonds and

pearls not visible to the naked eye.

My recitation of your Name continues Oh Lord, as I prepare to salute your

world with the word of Jaap. I begin to wonder through the streets of life.

I am searching for your blessed vision, for I know that this recitation can

only be complete when the blessed vision is before me. On bended knee I

begin to pray Oh Lord. For all the times I have forsaken you and turned my

back on you; For all those moments I have wished to be held in the arms of

another and not you Oh Lord. For that one time, Oh Lord, that I even denied

you existed, I beg you to take me back.

Those foolish moments, a lifetime wasted, yet still you bless me with the

Colour of your love. I ask how it's possible Oh Lord, for a father to love

his child so much. I wonder Oh Lord, that if you love me this much now...

will this Love further more when I taste the sweetness of your name? Your

words of Tavprasaad Swayaee are true? for let it be known, those who love

you, attain you. I am loving you Oh Lord, and longing to taste the beauty

of your Love.

For Lord, I know, I may be dressed in your robes and may even be coloured

in your Love. But these naked eyes will only see the jewel in the crown

when the sweetness of your name has been tasted. I've walked around hungry

and thirsty for all too long now Oh Lord. You've shown me the light. I have

not even seen it myself. These are your eyes within me that have been

closed to see the light. The light within myself.

I ask you to bless me with that taste Oh Lord, I beg you to protect me with

that love Oh Lord. I pray of you with the sacred words of Chaupayee to

forgive me Oh Lord. You begin once again, to light the way...

This light is shining so bright Oh Lord - yet its not at all blinding. It's

warm and inspiring and it makes me want to delve deeper into your creation.

It makes me want to continue reciting these words of Anand that are still

escaping these lips. I know as I reach this the final stage of the

Ambrosial recitation of your Name I have been blessed in the ways I never

once imagined.

I have fallen Oh Lord, fallen into the pit. But your grace is upon me, and

I can see the light. You are the Light Oh Lord. And for your blessed vision

I do not even have to look too far. The vision I have longed for, searched

for, and have yearned for, Oh Lord, that vision ifs before me, beside me,

within me.

Oh infinite primal Lord. Your virtues I cannot praise. Your beauty I cannot

fathom. Your love I cannot explain.

I have become a sacrifice Oh Lord. A Sacrifice to you.

:) :doh: :doh:

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
