A Sakhi on Guru Ji's Darshan

In the time of Sri Guru Hargobind Sahib Jee, there was a Gursikh who

lived in a poor little hut. This Gursikh was blind and had a lot of

Pyaar for Guru Ji. As he couldn't travel anywhere he would ask

people to go to see Guru Ji and then wait for there return to hear of

Guru Jis well being. He would ask them what does my Guru Ji look

like, How brave is he, what weapons does he keep, what stories does

he tell, and each would reply "I cannot explain with words."

One night he could not sleep, he kept thinking of Guru Ji and how

wonderful he was. He longed so much to see the beautiful Mukh of

Guru Maharaaj. He could not take it any longer he felt angered at

himself.

"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 his Samadhi, he

told some Sikhs to get the horses ready as he had to go somewhere

urgently.

The blind Gursikh started to cry, he felt angry at himself for being

blind, he tore his hut apart throwing things and cursing himself. He

wanted to kill himself. He wanted too go to see Guru Ji. He ran out

of the hut and just ran into the misty dark distance. He tripped and

fell , he hurt himself pretty badly. He was bleeding. He started to

cry and thought only of Guru Ji.

"Guru Ji, Guru Ji! Guru Ji! Guru Ji! Guru Ji! Guru Ji!" he cried

continuously calling out for Guru Ji.

Suddenly he felt two strong arms lift him to his feet, and h

e heard a

beautiful strong voice

"I have come, my beloved"

"Guru Ji, is it really you, but how come you have come"

This is what Guru Ji said..."Beloved, I could not sleep without doing

your darshan, I felt your heart pulling me towards you and I could

not survive"

When the Blind Sikh heard this he fell to Guru Jis feet and cried so

much he could not contain himself. Guru Hargobind Sahib Ji again

lifted him and said

"the home of Guru Nanak Contains everything ask of it what you will"

The Sikh replied "Guru Ji all that I ask of is, that my eyes may work

so I can do your Darshan"

Guru Ji smiled and kissed both of his eyes. When the Sikh opened his

eyes he again fell to Guru Ji's feet on seeing him and could not help

himself and could only cry. He wept at Guru Jis feet and kept doing

his Darshan. He could not even imagined such a beautiful Guru. He

just kept staring at Guru Ji. Guru Jee then said

"beloved I must go now, it is amrit vela and the Sangat will be

waiting" The Sikh begged Guru Ji to stay longer...

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

Guru Ji Smiled again and said

"the house of Guru Nanak again offers what you ask of it, one more

thing"

The Sikh fell to the floor in dandaut, stretched out with arms

towards Guru Ji and said "Guru Ji if you are going to give me one

more thing then take these eyes away as I wish not to see anything

ever again besides your darshan."

A tear dropped down Guru Ji's cheek as he granted the final wish.

    • We have lamp (or Jyot) the pure unscented candle for a reason. Traditionally, Patis used candle light (jyot), so they could read SGGS in darkness. Light, elec didn't exist. Dhoop is used to attract the "Good spirits" but also keep freshness where Maharaj will be.  Interestingly and coincidentally I heard Sakhi a few dsys ago. During Dasa Pitha's time these souls were roaming the Earth and even Sangat noticed. Maharaj asked them "y u here?" They replied during recitation of SGGS and making Degh they didn't bother lighting candle. THAT WAS THEE ONLY REASON NO GATI WAS GIVEN TO THEM!!!  AUTHENTICITY NOT CHECKED I heard once on YT like 2 days ago.  If u apply dhoop in one room of your house twice a week u will notice a difference esp in the smell and freshness of that room. 
    • Sangat ji, With the hot weather as per Guru's Hukm, how can we look after our kes?  First of all the beard! Working in Construction, factory and any other heated environment I UNDERSTAND! At my workplace it's over 32 degree celcius and sometimes we have to lift 20kg ALL! DAY! My tips, regularly shampoo the beard during ishnan. APPLY OIL! The technique of applying oil is by rubbing it thoroughly in the roots. Pay attention to the noise esp on the chin. You will hear this "crosh crosh" noise. Keep rubbing oil until u can't hear it no more! This means the oil has blended in properly.  Second tip on beard, keep an extra kanga in your pocket. Every two, three hours give your beard a proper comb down to get rid of any sweat or stickiness. SECOND BENEFIT! Do this all 12 months every single day your beard will look like it's been professionally groomed. TRY IT! People will ask you "What gel u use? How can yer beard be naturally like that?" You can say all I use is coconut oil or whaeva oil but just comb the beard every 2-3 hours for a minute.  As for the kes, morning time get rid of all the gronjra (or knots - forgotten English word), in the morning. However, during evening comb down make sure you get rid of small remaining gronjra and comb yer hair nice and straight. You will feel soooo so relaxed. Yes our hair will go unnoticed due to Dastar, but our hair demands time and self grooming!So proper combing down, spending a good 15-20 mins most evenings is an absolute MUST!  Most evenings I let my hair down and cover hair with my parna for 2-3 hours so it gets to relax from the tying up.  FINAL TIP! We are Sikhs so we keep fighting and remember this! The tradition of Dastar and uncut hair started in India, where the weather is twice as hot. Everytime we bring this thought in the mind, Guru ji will bless us and make us feel cooled down by a notch.  Fateh.       
    • Been so much nindya and attacking Shastarvidiya since the 2000s, however if we look at gatka now it's still mostly as poor and poorly taught as it was back then, still morris dancing moves and still behzti moves in BBC shows about sikhi and vaisakhi. If people were going to attack shastarvidiya, wouldn't have made sense to improve gatka instead and make it more effective? Additionally, the Nihang Singh presence has improved greatly now, and the cracks within the the SGPC and affiliated jatha jathebandis are showing more greatly as panth becomes more knowledgable with dasam bani and itihas day-by-day, so much gyaan which was lost within panjabi sikhs during colonial times. In the 2000s, the groups were able to talk down this bani and  gyaan by associating it with  RSS and hindus, brahminwaad etc. Not working so well now is it? However with gyaan it would be also good for us to try and preserve our martial arts and keertan vidiya as well! More and more crazy keertan videos are coming out from jatha members that are being made fun of and making sangat annoyed and upset, on tiktok and instagram reels.

Being from Punjab, almost every Sardaarji i know (amritdhari or not) sleeps/showers with their hair uncovered. I don't think Guru Sahib asked us to wear Dastar to sleep and I don't think it is in SRM.   The idea of "keski being worn to sleep" is cos in Bollywood films (Bachna Ae Haseeno) Sikh characters usually tie a gol parna when sleeping since the actor's usually Hindu. So they gotta cover his head somehow or he'd have cut hair. Same reason Diljit wore a pagg to bed in the El Sueno vid. Only time they didn't do that was in Gadar with Sunny Deol which just looked odd tbh   What in the world? What sikh or even a decent human would base their knowledge of their culture or religion on a movie industry, that too Bollywood?  Believe me, no sikh ever said, I must cover my head becasue an actor did so in a movie. I've been doing it all wrong, I must start covering mh head because the sikh in that movie did.  Just because every panjabi and sardaar you know, does something, also doesn't make it right..  Follow the guru. And if you have a medical condition, then exemptions can be made.  Just admit it, because of my medical condition, I am not able to follow this rehit. Why are you getting everyone else to drop to your level?
    • Wasn't Guru Arjan Dev's martyrdom on amd always commemorated on 6th June? How come it was 30th May?  Just like 6th June 84, where the likes of Terrorists like Indira Gandhi chose to attack Darbar Sahib where many many innocent Sikhs would suffer, as they went to commemorate Martyrdom of Maharaj.
