Game of love 79- HAIR (kesh)

HAIR (kesh)

True story!! 

There was a family of 4, mother, father, son and daughter. The father passed away due to natural causes. 

A few months later the mother said, "our house doesn't seem like a Sikh household no more". The son asked "why?" "Your dad use to have a turban and thus we were recognised as the house of Sikhs."

The mother made a request to her son saying, "it's 300 year birth of the Khalsa (pure), can I go and be blessed with Amrit and wear a turban, so at least our house will be recognised as a sikh household." The son accepted. She asked, "would you keep your hair too as, our hair gains and contains spiritual energy and I will do an ardaas (prayer before Guru)," he accepted. 

As he grew his hair his friends started mocking him saying, "shall we buy you a razor". Eventually he got very upset and went to the barbers. As he walked in, he lost all sight in his eyes, he went back out and his sight returned. He did this 3 times and on all 3 occassions, the same occurred. 

He realised that, his mother had done ardaas in front of Guru ji and it had been accepted, this was the reason in him loosing sight. He walked away and went on to be blessed with Amrit (sikh baptism) later. 

Moral; If a sikh loves his hair so much, how much must our Guru love kesh (hair). The ardaas is very powerful, once surrendered In front of Guru ji through faith and belief, the prayer will never be failed by Guru ji. This is a prayer between 2 spirits and the binding glue is love. 

We need to realise who we really are and not who we want to be. The ones we want to be will never support us, but our Guru will be our support through thick and thin. 

Faith is support, Guru is love, Vaheguroo is power. 

Guru Ramdas ji says, "Oh Nanak, I have no support, the True Guru has saved me."

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 78- BHAI TARU SINGH

BHAI TARU SINGH

A Muslim man came to Bhai Taru Singh and said, his daughter has been kidnapped by the commander of village Patti. Bhai Taru Singh promised him, the Singhs would bring her back. 

Bhai Taru Singh spent a lot of time meditating and practicing the teachings of Guru Ji. He was a man of his word. He fulfilled his word given to Raheem Bakhsh (Muslim man) and returned his daughter. The commander was killed in the raid. 

On hearing this Zakhrya khan (commander of village pahoola) was distraught and sent his soldiers to arrest Bhai Sahib ji. Zakhrya asked Bhai Sahib Ji to accept Islam, he would be freed and given all the riches he could imagine. Bhai Taru Singh declined. Zakhrya asked his men to cut Bhai sahibs hair, when trying, the scissors broke but Bhai sahibs hair would not be cut. Eventually Zakhraya asked a cobbler to remove the scalp from his head. 

Bhai sahib promised Zakhrya he would die from his slippers. Zakhrya got a very bad headache later and stopped passing urine. No physician could cure him, eventually it was Bhai sahibs slipper that cured him. The urine would only pass when hit on the head by his slippers. 22 days later Zakhrya passed away and Bhai Taru Singh breathed his last. 

Bhai sahib meditated through the torture for 22 days, with his mind balanced and at peace within. 

This is the respect Bhai sahib had for his hair (symbol of Guru Ji). Today we don't take 2 minutes to remove our hair. We pay barbers to cut our hair and watch them step all over it. Bhai Taru Singh preserved our faith and honour by giving his life, today we've sold it at the barbers shop. 

Vaheguroo! 

Bhai Sahib Ji showed above, Sikhs are compassionate, righteous, faithful, loving, tolerant, honourable, live by their word and most of all love and meditate on Vaheguroo's name. 

Rehitnama Bhai Desa Singh. 

The hair, moustache and beard are created within Gods order. How can those who violate their natural form by cutting their hair ever be accepted by Vaheguroo. 

Game of love 77- AMRIT

AMRIT (baptism) 

Before the birth of Dr. Surinder Singh; Subedar Harbachan Singh and Mata Tej Kaur had given birth to ten children but all ten died very young. Dr. Sahib’s mother was a very Gurmukh (blessed) soul and despite all her children dying, she remained firm in her Sikh faith. If she ever felt sadness, she would go before Sree Guru Granth Sahib in total humility and express her deepest feelings and then after would accept Guru Sahib’s hukam (command) and be satisfied. Sometimes though, she would ask her husband how long this difficult time would last, why all her children would die. Gurmukh Piaaray (Gurus beloved) Bhai Harbachan Singh would say that the children born in their home were bhagats (saints) from their last lives. They would take birth only to receive amrit and then when they were blessed by Guru Sahib, they would leave for SachKhand (highest state of spiritual truth). For this reason, he said, they should not feel sad. 

We have to accept the blessed nectar of Guru Jis Amrit, to be liberated. Without it, we will suffer in reincarnation. 

Amrit Kirtan states, "the 1st discipline of a sikh is to accept the Gurus Amrit." 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 76- CHARACTER

CHARACTER

There was an elderly sikh man at the train station waiting to catch his train. The man fell in to deep meditation whilst waiting for his train. The train had just arrived and the queue was very long. Most people boarded the train but nobody could get past the singh, as he was engrossed in the ras (taste) of naam meditation. 

A police officer had seen the line was not going any further and the singh was holding it up. He went to the singh and told him to move on. The singh did not hear his request. The police officer then slapped him across the face, which threw the singh out completely from his state. The sikh humbly apologised and boarded the train. This was witnessed by a Hindu person. 

The next day the same Hindu person was going for a walk and all of a sudden heard some screaming. He turned around and saw 9 men chasing one women. He then saw the same old singh run past him with a latthee (stick). The Hindu man followed the singh and witnessed him beating the 9 gunday (bad people) with his latthee). They were all left on the floor asking for forgiveness from the old singh. 

The old singh took the top layer of his dastaar (turban) off and covered the girl. The Hindu man then approached the singh and said, "you got slapped by one police officer yesterday and apologised as though you was scared." The singh replied, "Sikhs are never scared, we have already died and given our head to our Guru. I was wrong in that situation, I was holding up a queue, as I fell deep in to meditation. It was my fault."

The Hindu person touched the singhs feet and embraced him with a hug and said, "if you are like this, what must your Guru be like." The Hindu person adopted the path of sikhi after witnessing this humble, compassionate and righteous act. 

All power comes through faith and meditation! 

Guru Arjun Dev Ji says, "he alone is called a warrior, who is attached to Vaheguroo's love in this age. Through the perfect true Guru, he conquers his own soul and then everything comes under his control."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 75- LIFE

LIFE

Bhagat Kabir Ji once went to a village, he met a young friend there. Bhagat ji said with love, "naam japla" (meditate on Vaheguroo's name). The young boy said, "I'm only young, these are my days to enjoy myself. 

Bhagat ji came back to the village 25 years later, saw the same boy and said, "naam japla". Now the man said, "my kids are young, I want to see them grow old and support them, I'm too busy in life."

Bhagat ji comes back to the village many years later, sees the same man and says "Hun ta naam japla" (come on, mediate now). The man says, "what is the point now, I can't see from my eyes, I'm deaf at the ears, my body is shaking. I can't physically do it."

Bhagat Ji comes back to the village 2 years later and sees a bull In the village. He approaches the bull and says, "Hun Japla" (what about meditating now). The bull lowers his head and a tear drops from his eyes. The bull was the same man reincarnated. 

We spend all our lives making excuses, running away from faith and spirituality (our only true support in life). We will never know when we breathe our last. 

Sikhi is ecstasy, love and bliss. Please don't waste any more years of your life. 

Guru Ji wants young energetic Sikhs, who are focussed and have immense energy to spread the treasure of Guru Jis wisdom. 

Become that sikh! 

Bhagat Kabir ji says in the same shabad, "when the summons come from vaheguroo (god), the mortal departs leaving behind his wealth and mansions."

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 74- SUTHRA SHAH 5

SUTHRA SHAH 5

Suthra Shah was singing Guru Jis hyms one day, walking towards Gurdwara Sahib Ji (Gurus House) to meet Guru Ji. The Sikhs were sick of Suthra, always getting them in to trouble and exposing their hypocrisies. They all got together and made a plan, "when Suthra comes to meet Guru Ji, we'll ask him for darshnee bhetaa, which he will not have, as he is very poor." This was their way of getting him back. Darshnee bheta is a gift of money or something special one brings with them to meet the ocean of spiritual wisdom (Guru ji). 

They asked Suthra, he started crying and said in a sad voice, "I was left on a hay stack and Guru ji took me in, I am nothing without Guru Ji, Guru Ji is my all. They apologised and said, "sorry you can't go in". Suthra begged them with his head on their feet, they wouldn't let him in. 

Suthra walked away and came back an hour later with a full sack of something on his head. "What is this?" asked the sikhs. "This is sugar for Guru Jis Langar" (a place for all to eat as equals when coming together in the Gurdwara). They had no choice and let him in. 

Suthra put the sack down in front of Guru Ji and started doing parkarma (circling) and matha tek (prostrating) around it. 

The Sikhs said angrily, "there he goes again being stupid, he should be prostrating to you Guru ji but he's prostrating to a sack of sugar. Tell him Guru ji." "What are you doing Suthra?" asked Guru Ji. "Guru Ji, this sack has blessed me with your divine vision (Darshan), that's why I'm prostrating to it. And I confess I lied also, I can not afford sugar so I filled the sack with sand to get through your Sikhs. Please forgive me Guru ji." Guru Ji grabbed Suthra with love and took him to their chest and said, "all my Sikhs should have the love and thirst for their Guru as Suthra does." 

Suthra was very dear to Guru Ji. Guru ji loved him like a spoilt innocent child. 

Children are innocent, we have to purify our mind through meditation and become an innocent child (eeyaanaa) of Guru ji. 

Bhagat Naamdev Ji says, "he is in love with vaheguroo, like the young child loves his mother."

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 73- SUTHRA SHAH 4

SUTHRA SHAH 4

One day a sikh was reading rehras sahib ji da paath (evening prayer) in darbaar sahib (Gurus sanctuary). Every time he completed a line, Suthra would shout "thinoo kee" (what's it got to do with you). The sikh reciting the paath was getting very annoyed at what he was experiencing. 

He went straight to Guru Ji and made a complaint about Suthra. Guru ji asked for Suthra and an explanation from him. Suthra said, "Guru ji, your wisdom is so uplifting and beautiful, there is so much to take away from your teachings but this sikh had no focus on your baani (gods word) at all, and his concentration was elsewhere. He was always thinking about what others were doing, hence me asking, thinoo kee. This was the reason Guru Ji." Guru Ji smiled and told the sikh to stay focussed whilst reading the teachings and to live and build the character of a true spiritual sikh. 

Suthra was a very blessed soul and always right in his judgement. He didn't like any form of ritualistic practice. All his teachings were through humour. He was probably the most hilarious sikh of Guru Jis times. 

Are we focussed when reading prayers and meditating, or are we just going through the motions, same as the sikh from Suthras story? We don't want to be labelled in the category below through Gurus shabad. 

Meditation will bring focus, love, concentration and balance to the mind. It will reduce thought, for us to be more focussed with prayers and life in general. 

Guru Amardas Ji says, "the blind and ignorant perform all sorts of ritualistic actions, they are in love with duality."

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 72- SUTHRA SHAH 3

SUTHRA SHAH 3

One day Guru Ji was doing katha (giving spiritual wisdom) in Darbar. Suthra Shah was sat crossed legged at the front of Guru Jis Darbar (sanctuary). All of a sudden Suthra stood up and turned his back towards Guru Ji. At this point, the Sikhs had had enough of Suthra and thought he had gone too far now. They started shouting at him saying, "have you gone mad, you have turned your back towards the most spiritual master in the universe." 

Suthra said, "I was listening to baani (the teachings), you were not. Guru Jis words were so harsh and powerful, I was getting many slaps on my face which I could not handle so I wanted to take the rest on my back. It was getting too painful to bare." At hearing this, the Sikhs went very quite and sat down. 

Guru Jis words are very powerful, we are getting slapped by Guru ji all the time but the mind has become so lazy and impure that we force ourselves to ignore the teachings that are going to liberate our soul. 

Guru Amardas Ji says, "they do not serve the true Guru and in the end, they regret and repent over and over again. They are cast in to the womb to be reincarnated and rot over and over again."

Find faith in Guru Ji, we don't want the above to be us! 

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 71- SUTHRA SHAH 2

SUTHRA SHAH 2

Guru sahib Ji was blessing the sangat (congregation) with a divan (teachings). Bhai Suthra was serving Guru Ji by chaur Sahib (ceremonial whisk). 

A sadhu (Hindu saint) was sitting in the sangat, the sadhu had black dust applied to his body and face. This is a ritualistic sign for very spiritual people of some faiths. 

Suthra caught his eye and bagan to pull silly faces at him by sticking his large teeth out. When the sadhu saw this he got very angry and ran towards Suthra and started hitting him with a brush he carried with him. Suthra quickly grabbed Guru Jis feet, at this point the sadhu stopped. 

The sadhu said, "Guru Ji your Sikhs are not spiritual and very rude" and explained exactly what happened. Guru ji said, "Suthra is this true". Suthra replied, "hanji, he has black dust rubbed to his face and body tricking the world of his saintliness, yet the pulling of my face actioned him to anger. He is not even spiritual, never mind being a saint."

After hearing this, the sadhu grabbed Guru Jis feet and said, Dhan Guru, dhan thuhade Sikh (blessed is the Guru and blessed are his Sikhs). From that day onwards the sadhu adopted sikhi. 

Today we wear Guru sahib Jis kakaar (5 Ks), bana (attire), Guru Jis dastaar (turban), are we sure we are not living life like the sadhu above? Are we only pure and holy on the outside or are we pure on the inside too. 

Purity of the mind only comes through living the Gurus teachings, by mediating with every breath and adopting their virtues to build a saint/soldierly character. Any act adopted without naam is a ritual. 

Guru Arjun Dev Ji says, "the religious rites, rituals and hypocrisies which are seen are plundered  by the messenger of death, the ultimate tax collector."

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 70- SUTHRA SHAH

SUTHRA SHAH

Suthra Shah was a great devotee of Guru Hargobind Sahib ji. He lived on to serve our 10th Guru (Gobind Singh ji). Bhai Sahib ji had a great humour, all his teachings came through his humour. Guru Sahibaan had immense love for him. 

Suthra was found on a pile of hay after being abandoned by his family. He was abandoned because he had a black mark on his forehead and his teeth were very big, most people looked at this as bad luck. Guru Sahib took him in. Guru Jis Sikhs always complained that Suthra was very mischievous. Guru sahib ji changed his name from khuthra (dirty and ugly) to Suthra (pure within). 

One day a complaint was made to Guru Ji by their Sikhs that Suthra is swearing at them. Guru ji said, "call Suthra right away." Is this true Suthre", "no Guru Ji, they are lying said Suthra." The singhs said, "Suthra has even started lying now."

Suthra asked, when and what he said, the Sikhs named each exact moment. Suthra said, "oh yes I remember, it's true. Guru Ji these are my Sikhs not yours, ask them what shabad (teachings) you recited at rehras prayer yesterday." No answer from the Sikhs. The Sikhs said, "Suthra is wrong for saying we are not your Sikhs Guru Ji." Suthra said, "they remember my bad shabads (words) and not your beautiful teachings of wisdom, what does that make them Guru Ji." Guru Ji embraced Suthra tight to his chest. 

This is our state today, we remember all the false teachings, gossip and slander of the world, yet have no clue about what our Guru is saying to us. We will struggle through life without Guru ji. 

Guru Nanak Dev Ji says, "that carefree vaheguroo can not be appraised; his real value is only known through the wisdom of the Gurus teachings."

Vaheguroo

Game of love 69- WIND

WIND

The wind is blowing 
through every home.
Some windows are broken
whilst others 
Remain closed.

The manmukhs (mind followers) look outwards 
at the homes of others. 
Surveying the damage
their foundations feel stronger.

But only a fool
looks at others.
Opening their windows
they invite the wind.

The Gurmukh locks  
the latches tight,
sitting within 
so far from the wind.

The wind is blowing 
through every home.
Some windows are broken
whilst others 
remain closed.

Look within yourself, don't look outside, you will suffer. Live by practicing Guru Jis teachings and you will remain untouched. 

Guru Arjun Dev Ji says, "the hot winds do not even touch those who are protected by their Guru."

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 68- SOUL

SOUL

"The body shall turn to dust, and the soul shall fly away."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539

The soul never dies. The body is finite, the soul is connected to the infinite. As such, do not fear physical death as it merely indicates a new chapter in your souls journey.

Every being has a soul/spirit but only the humans can liberate their soul. Guru ji calls us all his soul brides, whether we are male or female. God/Guru don't look at gender. We are all seen as souls on a journey. 

Guru ji tells us to meditate with every breath so we can remember vaheguroo (god) in our final breaths and be liberated. Guru ji says, we are extremely entangled to the world, we are always thinking and worrying about the past and future. We have failed to slow down and live in the present (now). Our inner voice (mind) is always leading us a stray and running wild at all times.

Bhagat Trilochan Ji says, if we remember our wealth, women, children, property etc  in our last breaths, we will be reincarnated as a serpant, prostitute, pig and ghost.

We have been given this life form to liberate our soul. Let's nurture our soul with it's correct nourishment. Meditation, Gurus teachings and always doing good deeds is food for the soul. If our soul receives it's correct food, it's coming and going in this world will come to end. 

Listen to your Guru, not your mind and save your soul!

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 67- WISE WORDS

"Through the spiritual wisdom of naam (vaheguroo, God), the Gurmukh (Guru follower) is liberated." Guru Amardas Ji. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 66- SLANDER

SLANDER

"Slandering others amounts to putting filth into ones own mouth."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539

Slander can never lead to good. Simply avoid denigrating others. Accept the good and bad in all. 

How does slandering others generate filth in our own mouth? When we talk and slander others, people will listen but one will never be trusted by anyone. Our mouth will always be full of negative words (filth). Slander is a habit which dies very hard and is contagious to all. We don't want to be the root cause of slanderers slandering. 

We only slander others when we are insecure in ourself. If we were happy, content and at peace with our inner self we would never slander anyone. If we saw all as one and saw all as a part of our human family we would never slander. 

What causes us to slander, there are many reasons: boredom, a wandering mind taking things personal, misinterpretation, misunderstanding, insecurity, desire, impatience, intolerance, grief, anger, lust, attachment, personal ego, jealousy, selfishness and the list goes on. 

If all of the above was replaced by love, contentment, compassion, truth, patience, tolerance, forgiveness, kindness, open mindedness and most of all faith we would never slander anyone. 

Guru Arjun Dev Ji says, "Vaheguroo (God) causes slanderers to loose their honour. Their tongue and ears are a sleep, they carry the load of others for nothing. In the end their face is blackened."

Through constant meditation on Gods naam ones mind is purified and saved from slander. 

We don't want to be known as slanderers! 

Vaheguroo!

Game of love 65- SING AND LISTEN

SING AND LISTEN

"Sing and listen. Your pain shall be sent far away and peace shall come to your home."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539

Singing and listening to inspirational words brings peace and contentment. Steal a few moments for faith and you will find that this makes you a greater person. 

What's the reason for the above? 

Many experiments have been carried out, where an equal amount of rice and water are added to two jars. Positive words are placed on the outside of one and negative words on the outside of the other. These words are repeated by the same person daily at various different times, for the same length of time. The result in the end always shows, the rice in the negative words jar always moulds a lot quicker than the positive words jar. 3min vid below. 

What is the reason for this? 

The body is made up of about 60% water, this experiment shows the negative and positive effects by words, thoughts and emotions on water.

We need to understand the energy of being positive. A positive person always has a positive effect on people, their aura and energy is always extremely powerful and vice versa. A positive person speaks through their heart and soul. A negative person speaks through their egotistical mind. 

Singing and listening to the pure words of Guru Ji is pure food for the soul. These words (shabads) are created by totally pure beings. They effect our being even if we don't understand them. Just imagine how these words and praises of vaheguroo would effect our being when they are understood and sang with true love. Think about how they will effect our mind, body, soul and also the people around us.. 

We need to recognise, we have been blessed the gift of Gurbani (Gurus word), let's find the correct sangat and profit from it.. 

Guru Amardas Ji says, "In this dark age of kaljug, the singing of Vaheguroo's praise has appeared as a light in this world."

Game of love 64- SHOP

SHOP

"The body is a jewellers shop."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539

The body contains many jewels, if you search deep within yourself, through sincere effort, the Guru will bless you and you will realise that there are many jewels within you. Start shopping for these jewels now.

The mind is the most powerful thing on the planet. Every being in the universe has been blessed with a mind, but only human beings have been blessed with the potential to purify it and liberate it. 

The mind, body and soul has many jewels, when searching deep in to the soul and mind, one begins to realise how powerful we are as human beings. 

Through meditation on Vaheguroo's name one is blessed with many different states of spirituality. Ones mind can develop many spiritual powers. 

Most God loving beings build there character as a human through meditation, loving Gods creation, seeing God in all, becoming virtuous pure beings and liberating their soul. They stay away from spiritual powers, as they can disrupt the mind and one can begin to dwell in their own ego. Ego is the vice one controls and conquers to become humble and merge with Vaheguroo. 

Look within yourself and find the jewel of naam meditation and develop as a complete human being.

Guru ji will guide you within, through the divine wisdom of naam meditation. 

Guru Arjun Dev ji says "No human can get through this life in constant peace, love and happiness without naam meditation."

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 63- SERVICE

SERVICE

"Through selfless service, eternal peace is obtained."

Guru Amardas Ji 1479-1574

Voluntary service helps both the giver and the needy. Taking some time out to help others on their life journey ultimately helps yours. To know that you can help and comfort others, makes you realise the depth and importance of your own life. 

There are three types of service in Gurmat (Gurus teachings). Firstly, serving God (vaheguroo) through meditation. Secondly, physical service through our actions for the benefit of others, which is also serving Vaheguroo. Thirdly, giving a tenth of our earnings to the needy or any charity. This is also another way of serving Vaheguroo. 

When we serve in the above way, we become very humble and Vaheguroo blesses us with a complete contentment and ecstasy. The ones that serve Vaheguroo in this way are served by Vaheguroo in return. Vaheguroo doesn't just serve them, he serves their generations to come also. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 62- SELF RESPECT

SELF-RESPECT

"If one lives without self-respect, all that one eats goes to waste."

Guru Nanak Dev Ji 1469-1539

Respect yourself. Once you can appreciate your self worth, then you can begin to respect and understand your surroundings.. 

Guru Sahib Jis Sikhs should all be saint/soldiers. If we don't have self respect, it will be difficult to defend the honour of others. 

There is a huge difference between personal ego and self respect. If someone is bullied physically or mentally, it is ok to retaliate after 2 or 3 times of stopping the oppressor. People without self respect struggle to be righteous, as they struggle to help themselves, which makes them very weak. 

If we don't have self respect, this opens up the doors for others to be bullied/oppressed around us. 

It's important in life, we live with self respect (annakh), we are righteous but not through personal ego but only divine pride. If we remain humble and virtuous whilst living in this way, we will be respected more by the blessings of Guru Ji. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 61- THE SELF

The SELF

"Those who recognise the self, their minds become pure."

Guru Amardas Ji 1479-1574

Those who do not recognise their inner selves are continually fraught with anxiety. Understand and respect who you are. Only through self recognition can peace come within your being. 

When we recognise the inner self we recognise the true us. The true us is vaheguroo (god). Until we recognise we are vaheguroo and vaheguroo is all around us we will wander around lost in this world. 

When we recognise the true us (our soul), we begin to feel love and contentment within. We are surrounded with peace and happiness at all times. People around us also feel this love and happiness and experience it in our presence. 

This will only happen through conquering the minds desires through meditation, and then the True Guru will bless us with their pure gift of peace, joy and a saintly presence. 

"By the grace of the saints, all people and their generations are saved; O Nanak, they are not engrossed in worldly pleasures." Guru Arjun Dev Ji. 

Vaheguroo! 

Game of love 60- BRIGHT LIGHT

BRIGHT LIGHT

Once upon a time there was a bright light. It was a Big Beautiful Light that filled up everything everywhere, and that was all there was.

‘I am’ ‘I am... I am the one in every one’

Like the sun it shone and the light was made of love and happiness. One time the Big Beautiful Light got so happy it exploded with joy. Little pieces made of light began to appear. All of the pieces of light vibrated with love. Everything we see and hear and everything we cannot see or hear, all of it is filled with the Great Light. Now, near the big beautiful light there were lots of little lights like sparks. All the little sparks loved being near the big beautiful light but some of the sparks got further and further away. The further away they got, the sadder they became. They longed to return to the Big Light because that was where they were happiest.

In the Big Light I feel at home, even though I am further away now it is still ok because I have some of the Big Light inside of me.

Then one day a little spark came into the world in the form of a beautiful girl. She was the youngest out of five children who came as sparks. All of the other sparks wanted her to be just like them, but she was different.

My Dearest spark, Don’t worry about the voices outside, just chant the name of the guru within.

Vaheguroo... Vaheguroo... Vaheguroo

I am with you now, I will always be with you

She sparked very beautifully because she remembered the Big Light inside of her.

As the little girl grew older she began to forget her Beautiful Big Light and was more interested in family, friends and school.  

The world was an exciting place, there were lots of good people... and some not so good.

Years passed and the girl had little children of her own, she loved them for they were close to the Big Beautiful light too!! She loved to take them to the park and play with them and have lots of fun together.

The little spark proclaimed "Now I understand, the Big Beautiful Light has created a big universe and in that wonderful universe there are lots of little sparks everywhere, in the trees, grass and rocks. And there are sparks inside of every animal and person. But sometimes I forget and then I feel lonely and sad and I just want to be with you again. Sometimes I have remembered you and sometimes I forgot you. How can I always remember You and never forget You?"

Oh my dear, sweet spark, I have not left you for a moment. Every time you want to feel me.... meditate on the Naam. Rise in the early hours of the morning and go to the Guru’s house. 

My light is very strong there. Then you will be with me ALL day!

By the Guru’s Grace the girl mediated in the early hours of the morning and found her own light once again.

The girl now lives closely with her Big Beautiful Light everywhere she goes.
