Waheguru ji ka khalsa

Waheguru ji ki fateh

Khalsa jio- I read this amazing Sakhi of Shevi Patshahi, may be many of you already read it or heard it, but its worth reading again.

In the times of Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji, there was a very poor gursikh who lived in a hut alone. This gursikh was blind and had grown to love the guru from what he had heard. As he couldn't travel anywhere he would find out who has gone from his village to see the guru.

He would ask them, "What does the Guru look like? What weapons does he keep? What stories does he tell?"

Each person would reply, "I cannot explain in words."

One night he could not sleep, as his thoughts were focused on meeting the guru. He longed so much to see the beautiful Mukh of Guru Maharaaj. He could not take it any longer and felt angry at himself for being blind.

"Guru Ji, I am such a dirty sinner, I am unworthy of your darshan. I do not know what countless sins I have committed for me to suffer without you."

At this moment Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji awoke from Samadhi, and told his Sikhs to get the horses ready to leave immediately.

The gursikh felt helpless and began to cry tearing his hut apart. He wanted to go to see his guru; he then made up his mind that he would go by foot and allow the guru to guide him. He packed some food and set off in the dark. On his way he tripped and fell hurting himself badly. His thoughts remained on meeting his guru as he lay on the ground.

He suddenly felt two strong arms lift him up to his feet, and he heard a voice. "I have come, my beloved. I could not sleep without doing your darshan, I felt my heart pulling me towards you and I had to come."

When the blind sikh heard this he fell to the guru's feet and could not contain himself. Guru ji again lifted him to him feet and said, "the home of Guru Nanak contains everything, ask of what you will."

"Guru Ji all that I ask of is that my eyes may work and have your beautiful darshan."

Guru ji smiled and kissed him on both eyes. When he opened them, he fell at Guru Ji's feet upon seeing him and wept at Guru Ji's feet. He stared at Guru Ji in amazement for some time.

"Beloved I must go now, it is amritvela and the sangat will be waiting."

" Guru Ji I cannot live without your Darshan now, what will I do?"

Guru Ji replied, "The house of Guru Nanak again offers what you ask of it, one more thing."

The gursikh fell to the floor and said, " Guru Ji if you are going to give me one more thing, then please take these eyes away as I wish not to see anything ever again after having your darshan." A tear dropped down Guru Ji's cheek as he granted the final wish.

waheguru jee ka khalsa, waheguru jee kee fateh!!!

    • 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.
