Please like it it on facebook. Really this made my day. Waheguru. Read the comments as well, it gives me hope and reaffirms that there is something universal that connects us all deep inside - it proves that we're all lost beings until we recognize who we are and what hurdles separate us from realizing ourselves. Waheguru.

I bow down to this fearless Kaur and her reply.

Shout out to this truly fresh and fearless Kaur! After finding her picture posted in Reddit's "Funny" section under the title, "I'm not sure what to conclude from this", Balpreet Kaur responded:

"...I'm a baptized Sikh woman with facial hair. Yes, I realize that my gender is often confused and I look different than most women. However, baptized Sikhs believe in the sacredness of this body - it is a gift that has been given to us by the Divine Being [which is genderless, actually] and, must keep it intact as a submission to the divine will. Just as a child doesn't reject the gift of his/her parents, Sikhs do not reject the body that has been given to us. By crying 'mine, mine' and changing this body-tool, we are essentially living in ego and creating a seperateness between ourselves and the divinity within us. By transcending societal views of beauty, I believe that I can focus more on my actions. My attitude and thoughts and actions have more value in them than my body because I recognize that this body is just going to become ash in the end, so why fuss about it? When I die, no one is going to remember what I looked like, heck, my kids will forget my voice, and slowly, all physical memory will fade away. However, my impact and legacy will remain: and, by not focusing on the physical beauty, I have time to cultivate those inner virtues and hopefully, focus my life on creating change and progress for this world in any way I can. So, to me, my face isn't important but the smile and the happiness that lie behind the face are..."

Amazing brave singhani and amazing perception on life..!!

I was following through response on line regarding her quote and picture on facebook. I think her quote/picture- living example above hit nerve of lot of non sikh woman who have nothing but praises and deep respect for her. I think whats amazing came out of the picture and her perception was and its almost revolutionary based on responses is that - lot of woman can actually see ray of hope for themselves - going against social norms now through her outlook of life and perception...its almost as if she simply shown an mirror to woman all across the world (who are victim of western society norm) to see themselves in most profound and natural way made by divine.

All i want to say is.................the response she gave shows how much Bani she reads.......................calm, collected, at peace with the world, love for everyone, without fear, without hate, ready to face world's challenges with humility and contentment.............truly bowing before every ant and elephant. Not only is she carrying Khalsa form with grace, but her words are truly also representing Khalsa..............Akal Purakh works in such mysterious ways.........his play can't be understood. :respect:
