Dastaar

[wjkk wjkf]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

Loved this...(dunno if it's been posted before)...

Sometimes I hesitate before I face the mirror...

it's like a game with the friend you know is always right

it's like a battle with your ego and your conscience

it's like... a playful laugh... "i don't like you..."

pause...

"i love you."

it's like that.

me and my dastaar.

it's like i wake up in the morning and look skyward...

and then i look down...

and then left and right and back and forward and all i see is that...

that love, that light - omniscient and divine.

my dastaar ...

Dastaar... i cannot call it mine

anything beyond you is not yours -

A closed fist can't stop the river flow,

A wide open mouth won't drink all the rain,

I can't envelope your sunshine

I can just embrace it

The water I gather in my hands

someday slips out...

but it is that... that purity, clear and concise

nirmal, nirbhau, nirvair, nirlobh, nirlep, nirvaan

the dastaar...

they call it a crown, a symbol of

whose reign?

of majestic benevolence - the Almighty

And exhibition of grace and dignity

of honour and beauty

of balance and coordination

of direction and dedication

of belief and faith

of love and truth

the dastaar - is all these things -

I feel the light of Truth on my face... I see the waves of love overtaking me...

I feel the tears of gratitude gracing me...

I feel the challenges of life facing me...

I feel the rush of Maya chasing me..

I feel the arms of the Guru embracing me ...

with each time I tie the Dastaar.

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh!
