Game of love 💜- REWARDS FOR TRUE LOVE

REWARDS FOR TRUE LOVE

An 8 year old child saw his dad dying and said, "Dad aren't you gonna save me and take me to dargah" (Gods court).
His father said, "A poora (pure) Guru will come and save you in your life. Don't worry!"

109 years later, this child had developed into a Muslim fakeer and was still waiting. He was now aged 117. At Amritvela (1am), he awoke and went to do ishnaan (bathe). He heard a rustling in the bushes. He called, 'Who is there'.

Then he saw a man sitting in the bushes, holding something in his laps. The fakeer asked 'Who are you oh beloved of God? What are you doing here at this time and what are you holding in your laps so preciously?'
The man replied, "My name is Bhai Jetha and I'm holding the pavitar sees (pure head) of my Poora Satguru (Pure True Guru), Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji" (9th Sikh Guru).
The fakeer began to cry and cry uncontrollably. He said to Bhai Jetha, I've waited 109 years to get Darshan (vision) of the Poora Guru and they come to me like this?"
His bairaag (longing) became immense, as he asked Bhai Jetha to rest, while he looked after the sees of Guruji.

From 1am - 5am he did chaur sahib with a peacock feather, crying that he could not speak to Guru. He had so much to ask but was unable to.
At 5am Bhai Jetha awoke and told the Muslim fakeer that he must now leave for Sri Anandpur Sahib.
The fakeer asked, "Is there anyone else in the place of the Poora Guru?"
Bhai Jetha said, "His son Gobind Rai."
The fakeer said, "I am too old to walk there, I am almost bed ridden, please get a message to Guru Ji to come visit me. I will be waiting."
Bhai Jetha agreed and set off.
As he arrived at Sri Anandpur Sahib, Guru Gobind Singh ji did Darshan of the saroop of his father and asked Bhai Jetha, "If there was anything else urgent he needed to tell him." Bhai Jetha remembered and said, "There is an old Muslim fakeer who wants to meet you. He is waiting anxiously to have your Darshan."
Guru sahib made a note. From here, 9 years passed. The Khalsa had just been victorious in the battle of Sri Paonta Sahib (Battle of Bhangani) and at this time Guru sahib was about 19 years old. As they were in the Chandigahr area, Guru sahib remembered that this was where the Muslim fakeer lived, who had been waiting for his Darshan. Guru sahib asked the fauj to leave and 11 Gursikhs came with him. Guru sahib took his shoes off, as a sign of respect. This fakeer was very devoted and had done Darshan and seva of his father Sri Guru Tegh Bahadur, so deserves utmost respect. He arrived at the fakeers house. By now he was bed ridden aged 126. The fakeer asked "Who is it?" Guru Sahib replied, "Dass da Naam (servants name is) Gobind Rai. You've been waiting for many years and now I've come."

They entered the small hut and the fakeer fell at the feet of Guru but Guru sahib picked him up and hugged him closely. The fakeers eye brows were so long, he had to hold them up to see out of his eyes. He cried and cried and said "I've been waiting so long for you. I've been dreaming about what you must be like and now you are before me." Guru sahib said, "You showed my father much respect, you did his Darshan and seva (served him) and for that you can ask for whatever you want." The Fakeer asked for a small place in Dargah (true spiritual court), where he could be with Guru. Guru sahib (Bardo Aalam Shah - Ruler of both worlds). Guru Gobind Ji said, "I will give you the whole of Dargah."

So this fakeer is historically now known as Fakeer Dargahe Shah and his history is linked to a Gurdwara in Chandighar called Gurdwara Nabha Sahib, which marks this historic event. Baba Banda Singh Bahadur also showed respect here to the fakeer, who was beloved to Guru sahib.

This is how we should all serve and truly love our Guru!

Questions are asked, why is Guru sahib not showering his grace on us? Let's answer the question. Do we love the Guru as much as the fakeer did? Do we do as the Guru says? Do we love God with every breath? Do we see God in all their creation? Do we keep the Gurus discipline? Is our sangat (companions) like minded, God loving? When it is, we will be rewarded without any discrimination, just as the Fakeer was. We have to make the effort, no one can do it for us. Sikhi is very simple, we (our mind) add complications, as we struggle to focus and meditate (jap).

A Sikhs duty is to unconditionally love Vaheguroo, with every breath. When we become this way, without wanting rewards, it's then Guru Sahib glances his grace!

Guru Ji Says, "Gazing upon the Lord's form of perfect beauty, my hopes have been fulfilled; attaining the Blessed Vision of His Darshan, my hunger has been appeased."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 💚- NEVER FORGET!

NEVER FORGET! 

One Glass of Milk Paid in full One day!! 

A poor boy, who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, he was very hungry. He decided, he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve, when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal, he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly and then asked, “How much do I owe you?” 

“You don’t owe me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept payment for kindness.” 

The boy said, “Then I thank you from the bottom of my heart.” As Gurmukh Singh left that house, he not only felt stronger physically but his faith in God and man increased also. He had been ready to give up and quit. 

Year’s later, that young woman became critically ill. The local doctors were baffled. They finally sent her to the city, where they called in specialists to study her rare disease. Dr. Gurmukh Singh was called in for the consultation. When he heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately, he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. Dressed in his doctor’s gown, he went in to see her. He recognized her at once! He went back to the consultation room, determined to do his best to save her life. From that day onwards, he gave special attention to the case. 

After a long struggle, the battle was won. Dr. Singh requested the business office to pass the final bill to him for approval. He looked at it, wrote something on the end of it and the bill was sent to her room. She feared to open it for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay it all. Finally, she looked and something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She began to read the following words: “Paid in full with one glass of milk,” Signed Dr. Gurmukh Singh. 

Gurmukhs (Guru's followers) never forget the love given by others, they treasure it and always repay it with even more spiritual love. No materialistic gift is needed, when the gift of true, genuine love is offered. They always remain Kind and humble. Love is the most precious gift anyone can develop. When we truly learn how to unconditionally love by killing our ego through Naam, that's when we realise the purity of Vaheguroo (God) within. 

Guru Gobind Singh Ji Says, "I speak Truth, all should turn their ears towards it: One who is absorbed in True Love, would realise God within."

Vaheguroo!
