Cute Story

I heard this story when I went to the gurdwara yesterday and I thought it was really cute, so I thought I'd share it with the sangat.

Ok, once there was a little boy, about 3 years old, named Surjit Singh (I don't remember his exact name so we'll just call him that.)

One day he noticed his dad eating chocolate chip cookies in the living room with a glass of milk. Little Surjit thought to himself, hey, dad likes milk - I think I'll give him a glass of milk. So with this thought in mind Surjit made made his way to the kitchen. He pulled out a chair from the table and dragged it across the kitchen, creating marks on the floor as he did so. He climbed up onto the chair and onto the kitchen countertops, swung open the cupboards, and went in for a glass. As he did so he sent two other glasses shattering onto the floor. Oblivious to the mess, Surjit climbed down off of the counter, glass in hand, dodging the bits of broken glass.

The entire time, surjit's dad had been watching from the living room, wondering if he should step in and save the rest of the kitchen. He wathced as Surjit made his way to the fridge, violently swinging open the refridgerator door. Rather than grabbing the half-empty carton of milk Surjit grabbed the full-to-the-top carton of milk. Determined now, he set the glass down on the floor as he attempted to pour some milk into the glass, but ended up getting most of the milk onto the floor. Finally he set down the open carton of milk, picked up the glass, and excitedly left the kitchen (of course leaving the refridgerator door wide open).

Seeing his dad, Surjit began to run into the living room, when suddenly he fell, sending the milk flying all over the furniture. Surjit looked up to see his father covered in milk from head to toe, looked at the mess in the kitchen, and began to cry. He looked into his father's eyes, wondering, what are you going to do to me? But his father simply smiled and gathered little Surjit into his arms, proud to say, "You are my son."

Surjit's dad is alot like Guru Gobind Singh ji. Even when we create havoc wherever we go while we're on earth, Guru ji forgives us, only looking at our heart and thegood that we have done (or tried to do.) Guru ji is like our father.

Great story or what? Well, the original was alot better, but that's ok. :)

    • Umm, that's totally irrational, bro. There are plenty of prakash-dara Singhs in Punjab (less than we'd like, but still plenty). No one cares that you are sabat soorat. It isn't 1986. You can walk around in chola, kurta-pajama, or jeans. Whatever. If you want the look @dallysingh101 is referring to, just go into a cheap clothing shop (not a Western-style mall) and buy some shirts for 250 rupees or a track suit for 2000 rupees. You'll get the cheap stuff made in some sweatshop in Bombay.
    • 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!!
