[guruvah]

At one time, a young child went to a Sikh Saint, and stated that no,

matter how hard he tried to keep Gurbani in his heart, he just

could not understand or keep it. He stated that his mind was not a

bucket, but a strainer, which let everything pass through and did

not contain the meaning of gurbani.

The saint said "let us try an experiment. Here is a strainer, and

here is some water, and pour a bucket of water through the

strainer. " The child did this and said " see the water was not

contained, it just passed through, my mind is just like this". The

saint said. " Do it once more" , he did, and still the water

passed through the strainer. The saint said. " Do it ten times at

least". The child did, and at the end of this experiment, he said

" See water still passes through, no matter how many times , and

how many buckets we pass through it" .

The saint said. " Look carefully at the strainer and see if there is any thing

different." The child did, and his eyes were filled with tears,

and he said. "Yes, I see the difference now, the grimy dirty

strainer is now shiny and bright, like never before.

The saint said. " My son, this is what Gurbani does for you, it

cleans your mind, and even if you do not realize it, it slowly

cleanses your mind, and protects you from the five vices. The more

you recite Gurbani, your mind will not only become shinier, but

become like the bucket itself, which will not only become clean ,

but hold the meaning of Gurbani in your heart" The child smiled, and felt he had r

eceived the best example of the

power of Gurbani, ever.

My friends, we are no different than the child, as long

as we try to recite Gurbani, and understand the meaning, we too

will find strength and control to overcome the five vices, which

are ruin of every one.
