Power Of Prayer


Carpe Diem
 Share

Recommended Posts

Diane, a young university student, was home for the summer.

She had gone to visit some friends one evening and time passed

quickly as each shared their various experiences of the past year.

She ended up staying longer than planned, and had to walk home

alone.

She wasn't afraid because it was a small town and she lived only

a few blocks away.

As she walked along under the tall elm trees, Diane asked "God"

to keep her safe from harm and danger.

When she reached the alley, which was a short cut to her house,

she decided to take it. However, halfway down the alley she noticed

a man standing at the end as though he were waiting for her. She became uneasy

and began to pray, asking for "God's" protection. Instantly a comforting

feeling of quietness and security wrapped around her, she felt as though

someone was walking with her.

When she reached the end of the alley, she walked right past the

man and arrived home safely.

The following day, she read in the newspaper that a young girl

had been raped in the same alley just twenty minutes after she had been

there.

Feeling overwhelmed by this tragedy and the fact that it could

have been her, she began to weep. Thanking the Lord for her safety and to

help this young woman, she decided to go to the police station. She

felt she could recognize the man, so she told them her story. The police

asked her if she would be willing to look at a lineup to see if she could

identify him. She agreed and immediately pointed out the man she had seen in the

alley the night before.

When the man was told he had been identified, he immediately

broke down and confessed.

The officer thanked Diane for her bravery and asked if there was

anything they could do for her.

She asked if they would ask the man one question. Diane was

curious as to why he had not attacked her.

When the policeman asked him, he answered, "Because she wasn't

alone.

She had two tall men walking on either side of her."

Moral of the story... Don't underestimate the power of Prayer!

    • 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.
