AM I ALONE?

Am I alone

Or is there someone else

Who feels my pain

At the state of the Panth.

We’ve forgotten the message

The message of Guru Nanak

“The path to Divinity

Needs no intermediary.”

We’ve become lazy

Want to be spoon-fed

It’s way to difficult

To understand the path of Guru Nanak.

These sants and babas

Have readily filled this need

Pseudo-claimants, Bedis and Sodhis

Have even claimed Guru-ships.

Heads bow to them

They are held in awe

For we lazy Gur-Sikhs

Believe they have the powers.

We’ve elevated them

To a state above their worth

By paying them special homage

Inflating their inflated egos.

Special utensils are brought

As they partake in “Guru ka Langar”

They sit in designated areas

Separated from the sangat.

I witness these shows

And don’t know what to say

My head hangs in shame

My eyes fill with tears.

I feel a sadness

As I hear the sangat share their stories

Of how these babas and sants

Can guarantee the birth of a son.

These sants and babas

In their white chogaas

Wearing Rado watches

Are the Sikh ‘Pundits’ of today.

“Ardaas” on wheels

Is the new wave

It is the easiest way

To fleece the sangat o

f today.

Wake up my fellow Sikhs

And see them for who they are

Just a bunch of clever orators

Claiming spiritual authority.

Take away their power

Do not cater to their egos

The path to Divinity

Lies in the Guru Granth.

I write this with love

As sewa to the Panth

Wake up my fellow Sikhs

Bow only to the Guru Granth.
