Setting your beard

I used to tie my beard from the day it began growing (I had cut hair for two years, owing to health reasons . . . but one day, Guruji did such Kirpa on me and encouraged me to maintain my bana once again because we could not remain separated from each other any longer). Over the next two years, I began having some serious trouble as it used to take me ages to tie my dhaari and then it used to be all over the place because of the wind and heat (hehe!) and the hair spray just couldn't hold it any longer. I was so fed up. I did not want to trim even a single string of hair, so I decided to do a bold thing, quite uncommon in Kenya for a Sikh youth to do . . . . to leave my dhaari open. Majority here trim their beards and I get so sad looking at them. Anyway, I became much more relaxed and peaceful, leaving my dhaari open. Everyday, when I tie my turban and I look in the mirror, I see my Guru stand right infront of me. By granting me His roop, I have His darshan everyday.

My elders sounded alarmed (including my parents) when I suddenly decided to go everywhere, work, socialising, Gurudwaras . . . and leaving my dhaari open. But I didn't even care 2 cents about the looks I was given by the rest of the world too. I feel like a Sikh. I'm proud of my heritage. I am my Guru's Sikh. Through His Kirpa, He has made me his own.
