True Guru Ka Sikh of 2008

Few days back I realized that I am actually a true Sikh of the Guru after listening to the following shabad:

“Har mangal gao sakhi,

Greh mandar baniya”

Here, Guru Sahib wants us to make our inner consciousness (our soul) as a temple. In mathematical term it can be put it as:

Inner Consciousness = Temple (Gurdwara)

To be a true Guru ka Sikh, all I had to prove was L.H.S = R.H.S. So, rather than working on L.H.S, I started working on the R.H.S to break down to L.H.S. And guess what I didn’t need to a lot of calculations for that. When I observed closely, I realized that I have already degraded the RHS to be equivalent to LHS.

When I go to the Gurdwara, most of the time I sit chit chatting with my friends that I do wherever I am and love doing it.

If I am sitting inside the Gurdwara, the Guru’s bani don’t seem to affect me as I have never listened to it. I am happier in watching what others are doing, how much offering people are getting and calculating how much money the Gurdwara Prabandhak Committee (GPC) is making and has not done anything for the Gurdwara building. If not that, then might be watching what other people are wearing and what is in fashion and what is out which I keep doing where ever I am.

I have always been interested in getting more content for making gossips or sharing them with others to make sure I am entertaining my company. Taunting and finding faults in others is my favorite past time. I feel a great pleasure deep inside when I find mistakes in my fellows Sikhs. Especially when kids of the committee members do something wrong like, wearing a keski rather than a full turban, or a girl having pierced ear. What ever happens and wherever I am, I make sure that I don’t leave a single opportunity like this.

I feel that I have done a favor to the whole world, by spending some time in during langar seva. I will not loose the opportunity to boost about it for at least few days; after all I have done such a good deed.

I will never take prashad from a mona sikh as that can impure my thoughts; because if I eat something from his hands might transfer his negative vibrations into me.

I have enough content with me to debate on the controversies of Sikhi. I can take somebody’s happiness by taunting and disgracing him to the core if he eats non-vegetarian food; I stopped eating it 2 years back. I have always made sure that nobody can win me on talks like these especially.

Sometimes, I face issue, when somebody asks me the meaning of the day’s Hukamnama, which I feel is ok as I am not supposed to know everything. Punjabi has always given me hard time in understanding, and who cares! I am cool with this as my English is perfectly fine.

In short I have made Gurdwara just like me (L.H.S=R.H.S). I have lived 25 years of my life like this and I know there might few minor issues in me, which is also fine as I have a lot of life to live.

I hope my views have not hurt anyone’s feeling or dignity or made jealous of me because that was not my purpose. All feedbacks are welcome.

Bhul Chuk Maaf!

Guru Raakha!
