words of babaji
well after a really long time and with Guru Ji's Blessing, i was able to visit the sangaat today at gurdwara. it is really weird that even thou i hadn't been to sangaat in bout 3 weeks, it did not feel out of place. and well i remember 3 weeks ago, an uncle at gurdwara was stating " How we Sikhs are in such grave danger, b/c people are tryin to dilute Bani, and we must tell the world what Guru Granth Sahib Ji is" then well today we had people University of Richmond's CHapel and someother group. and once again an Uncle stated that " Oh the biggest Draw back of sikhs, is our failure to spread the message of SGGS,"
now i as i sit back and think of what, Baba Iqbal Singh Ji told us at Baru Sahib, for the past two summers, i am reminded by his divine words to us, the sikh youth... he told us over and over to be "Role Models of Sikhi"...
now sitting in sangaat i'm reminded that well the reason why sikhi is misrepresented on so many fronts, whether its on the academic, religious, media and such.. is b/c well sikhs, the sikhs that are from india, or indian descent, fail to follow what Bani tells us to do. If we skew Guru Ji's Words to fit our lives, then who are we to tell other about the greatness.. how could we preach something we dont follow. Now i dont mean that we should be tellin everyone bout it, but i can tell you that well with certain people i see that have a "glow" about them, i see a glow of prem around their face, and theyhave been intoxicated with the naam of waheguru.
and i find that when one follows it other see that glow and hence they too get intriguied and htey will come up to that person and ask them about it.. well have to go read...
yet now i think bout it, after some time and just sitting here and thinking about it, why should i even get upset at people who say they are sikh, but dont' follow it. b/c i realize that if they haven't found that Love for God, and if they are not ready to play Guru Nanak Dev Ji's "Game of Love' then i guess they aren't a part of it. but it sucks b/c once you have that love nothing else matter. i really hope someday that guru ji will have mercy on me, and shed some of that DivIne Love upon me, an ungrateful sinner
