"Hi All,

A pretty woman was serving a life sentence in prison.

Angry and resentful about her situation, she had decided that

she would rather die than to live another year in prison. Over the years

she had become good friends with one of the prison caretakers. His job,

among others, was to bury those prisoners who died in a graveyard just

outside the prison walls. When a prisoner died, the caretaker rang a

bell, which was heard by everyone. The caretaker then got the body and put

it in a casket.

Next, he entered his office to fill out the death

certificate before returning to the casket to nail the lid shut. Finally,

he put the casket on a wagon to take it to the graveyard and bury it.

Knowing this routine, the woman devised an escape plan

and shared it with the caretaker. The next time the bell rang; the

woman would leave her cell and sneak into the dark room where the

coffins were kept. She would slip into the coffin with the dead body while

the caretaker was filling out the death certificate. When the caretaker

returned, he would nail the lid shut and take the coffin outside the

prison with the woman in the coffin along with the dead body. He would then

bury the coffin.

The woman knew there would be enough air for her to

breathe until later in the evening when the caretaker would return to the

graveyard under the cover of darkness, dig up the coffin, open it, and

set her free. The caretaker was reluctant to go along with this plan,

but since he and the woman had become good friends over the years, he

agreed to do it.

The woman waited several weeks before someone in the

prison died. She was asleep in her cell when she heard the death bell

ring. She got up, picked the lock of her cell, and slowly walked down

the hallway. She was early caught a couple of times. Her heart was beating

fast. She opened the door to the darkened room where the coffins were

kept. Quietly in the dark, she found the coffin that contained the dead

body, carefully climbed into the coffin and pulled the lid shut to

wait for the caretaker to come and nail the lid shut.

Soon she heard footsteps and the pounding of the

hammer and nails. Even though she was very uncomfortable in the coffin with the dead body, she knew that with each nail she was one step closer to

freedom. The coffin was lifted onto the wagon and taken outside to the

graveyard. She could feel the coffin being lowered into the ground. She

didn't make a sound as the coffin hit the bottom of the grave with a thud.

Finally she heard the dirt dropping onto the top of the wooden

coffin, and she knew that it was only a matter of time until she would be

free at last. After several minutes of absolute silence, she began to

laugh. She was free! She was free! Feeling curious, she decided to light a

match to find out the identity of the dead prisoner beside her. To her

horror, she discovered that she was lying next to the dead

caretaker.

Many people believe they have life all figured out... but sometimes it

just doesn't turn out the way they planned it! "It is better to trust in

the LORD than to put confidence in man. It is better

to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in princes."(Ps 118:8-9).

May God unveil our eyes to the reality of this message.! "

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
