Gifts From God

[Akaal Purakh Di Fauj]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji were two beloved Sikhs of Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji Maharaj. When Maharaj used to travel with his fauj Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji always used to run ahead to prepare for the arrival of Guru Sahib and the Khalsa. They would quickly build a throne and cover it with a canopy and prepare prahsad for the Singhs.

When Guru Sahib arrived at the place Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji had set up many of the Singhs commented that even the horses were tired and weary such was the length of the journey. Despite covering such a long distance Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji still managed to prepare everything for the arrival of the King of Kings. Maharaj was very happy with their seva and he gave them two horses for riding and many shahstars to wear around their body.

A few days later when Maharaj and the fauj reached Suhewa, the next stop the two brothers were already there with Guru Ji’s bed prepared. Some Sikhs who had gone ahead with Bhai Param Singh Ji and Bhai Dharam Singh Ji complained to Maharaj as soon as he arrived that instead of riding their horses the two brothers had covered all the distance by foot while holding the reins of their horses in their hands. They had also not adorned their bodies with shahstars but has instead carried these in a bundle on their heads.

Guru Sahib called his two beloved Singhs and asked them why they had done so.

With tears of love flowing from their eyes the two brothers said, “Dear Guru, Father of the Khalsa Panth, we are not worthy of your love and your countless blessings. To make sure we didn’t show you any disrespect we thought it better to preserve your gifts in the same condition that they were given to us in.”

Who can find the morals? (A shiny golden star awaits)

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh

(It's been a long time since I got a shiny gold star.)

How many of us could ignore our own bodily pain and weariness to do anything for our Guru? That love conquers all. And how many of us give our Guru the respect He deserves, even today.

Maharaj was very happy with their seva and he gave them two horses for riding and many shahstars to wear around their body.

Guru Saheb gives his beloveds their very own shiny gold stars.

Often we see what other people are doing and in ignorance or jealousy we judge them. Rarely if ever do we know their true intentions or innermost thoughts.

Guru Sahib called his two beloved Singhs and asked them why they had done so.

Maharaj was so humble and loving that he called the Sikhs themselves to teach the sangat the lesson.

"Dear Guru, Father of the Khalsa Panth, we are not worthy of your love and your countless blessings. To make sure we didn't show you any disrespect we thought it better to preserve your gifts in the same condition that they were given to us."

The thought-process of those who are in love with their King can be incomprehensible to the likes of us. Those fortunate souls always have Maharaj's respect and Hukam at the forefront of their minds.

Gurfatehji,

This is so wonderful.. beautiful is the *bhakti* for the GURU.. so selfless... spells complete surrender..

The moral, as far as my vivek says, is that when we are born, god gives us gift of purity (purity of mind, body and soul). However, along the path of life we forget to maintain this purity and may be that is why when a person breathes his last, he regrets this and is thus fearful of facing the Lord.

We need to make efforts such that this purity is not lost and when we return to him, he finds us as pure as when we were born.

Bhul chuk maaf karni ji!

Lowestofthelowsinghni, singhstah, saahiba, wjkk wjkf and pyaraji all get many golden stars.

That Guru of this world and the next gives us millions of gifts every second of every day. The question is do we treat them with the respect they deserve or do we dig a hole and end up in such a state where we completely forget about them and the person who gave them?
