Fireworks


Recommended Posts

Saturday 4th November 2006 - celebrating Guru Nanak Dev Ji Gurpurab with sangat by watching a firework display at Gurdwara.

At this age I had seen enough fireworks and wasn’t really excited about it but went along anyway to be with sangat. It was so cold. A lot of the people around me where in their own little worlds so I carried on quietly watching the display.

It was a full moon that night and I can remember thinking that it looked so bright and beautiful in that dark black sky. Its light was glowing.

The fireworks had started and I have to admit that it was an impressive collection. All sorts of amazing colours and patterns where displayed in the sky yet I still couldn’t stop looking at the moon. More and more beautiful fireworks came and went but I still couldn’t take my eyes off the moon in all its glory.

That’s when I realised it…the fireworks are like the people and things in my life. They will come into your life and show you a minute of happiness and pleasure but then disappear and leave you alone to face the darkness of life all by yourself. People will walk into your life, love you, and then one day go and leave you alone in darkness.

And the moon is like Vaheguroo, who will always be there shining light back down for you and showing you the way. Vaheguroo is the real ‘light’. The firework who lasts forever. He is always walking behind you. When you turn around and look up, he will be smiling back at you.

He will always shine for you no matter what you may do or say wrong in your life. He is the only one who shines and shows the same love for everyone no matter who they are or what mistakes they have done. He is always there when you need him. People will think your wrong and walk away form you but Vaheguroo will always still be by your side.

I believe Guruji showed me this imagine and he made me reflect on it like this as I don’t think I am anywhere near clever enough to make something like this up from the top of my head! He always talks to you through different ways. You just have to stop and listen.

I don’t know when I found him or why he chose to come to this fool. But since he has walked into my life…everything has been so bright.

“Gur mere sang sadha hai naal.”

:D
