PLEASE SAVE ME!
There was a Muslim man, who use to travel from very far on a horse, in order to listen to Guru Gobind Singh Ji do Vichaar (teachings). He used to travel on horseback and ride for hours and hours to have Darshan (vision) of Guru sahib and receive Bachan (a command).
One time, as Sangat (congregation) were giving their offerings to Guru, Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji went to this Muslim man and said, 'You have given the most valuable offering.' The Muslim man was a little surprised and confused, because he had not given any offering. He said 'Maharaj Ji, I haven't given any offerings.'
Guru sahib said, 'Do you remember? You was riding on horseback to get here and you were asked where you were going. You replied and also encouraged other Sangat to come to the divaan too.
'Guru sahib said, 'That is the most valuable bheta (offering). You also sat and listened to the teachings without letting your mind waver. When you bring other Sangat with you to get lahaa (earn profit) and listen to Gurbani (Gurus teachings), with your focus on Naam, (name of God) It is the greatest Seva (service). More valuable than money, food, ramalay etc.'
Let us try to encourage those around us to go to the Gurudwara and attend Naam, Baani and Kirtan programmes so their jeevans (lives) are blessed and Maybe Guru Sahib Ji will bless us in the same way they did the Muslim man. There is no greater blessing than doing so. In the same way, there is no greater paap (sin) than breaking someone from the Gurdwara (Guru's House). This can be done by finding ways to literally stop someone or upsetting/hurting someone, whilst they're actually present at the Gurdwara!!
Guru Ramdas Ji Says, "If only someone would come, and lead me to meet my Darling Beloved; I would sell myself to them."
Pure Humility and Love from our fourth Master!! ๐ This is the kind of love we need to merge with Vaheguroo!!
Vaheguroo!
