Fireworks


Recommended Posts

Saturday 4th November 2006 - celebrating Guru Nanak Dev Ji Gurpurab with sangat by watching a firework display at Gurdwara.

At this age I had seen enough fireworks and wasn’t really excited about it but went along anyway to be with sangat. It was so cold. A lot of the people around me where in their own little worlds so I carried on quietly watching the display.

It was a full moon that night and I can remember thinking that it looked so bright and beautiful in that dark black sky. Its light was glowing.

The fireworks had started and I have to admit that it was an impressive collection. All sorts of amazing colours and patterns where displayed in the sky yet I still couldn’t stop looking at the moon. More and more beautiful fireworks came and went but I still couldn’t take my eyes off the moon in all its glory.

That’s when I realised it…the fireworks are like the people and things in my life. They will come into your life and show you a minute of happiness and pleasure but then disappear and leave you alone to face the darkness of life all by yourself. People will walk into your life, love you, and then one day go and leave you alone in darkness.

And the moon is like Vaheguroo, who will always be there shining light back down for you and showing you the way. Vaheguroo is the real ‘light’. The firework who lasts forever. He is always walking behind you. When you turn around and look up, he will be smiling back at you.

He will always shine for you no matter what you may do or say wrong in your life. He is the only one who shines and shows the same love for everyone no matter who they are or what mistakes they have done. He is always there when you need him. People will think your wrong and walk away form you but Vaheguroo will always still be by your side.

I believe Guruji showed me this imagine and he made me reflect on it like this as I don’t think I am anywhere near clever enough to make something like this up from the top of my head! He always talks to you through different ways. You just have to stop and listen.

I don’t know when I found him or why he chose to come to this fool. But since he has walked into my life…everything has been so bright.

“Gur mere sang sadha hai naal.”

:D

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
