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.

    • 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.
