SACRIFICE
The below was experienced by a Gursikh brother!
Last weekend I was doing a talk at Barking camp on heroes. I started by asking the kids, who their heroes are and why. A 9 year old gursikh girl put her hand up and said emotionally 'my massi (mothers sister) is my hero'. I said why, she replied 'when I was young both my parents died. My Massi withdrew herself from Uni and gave up her education so she could look after me'. I said that's amazing, your massi is a true hero. Even more amazing is that the massi inspired her to keep her faith in Guru and raise her as a gursikh. Very inspirational.
There are very few people who would give up their own future for their loved ones. The amazing thing is, her faith still remained steadfast after her sister and brother in-law had passed away. Many crumble in this situation.
Power of having a strong Faith. Giving is a very powerful gift.
Bhai Gurdaas Ji says, "The Guru has preached people to speak mildly, to conduct themselves humbly and to not get noticed even after giving something to others."
True Humility!!
Vaheguroo!
