My dearest or dearest….beautiful….pyare pyare….chotte chotte….beloved little veers and bhains…

I LOVE YOU…each and everyone of you with all my heart. You are very near and dear to me my little angels. You are indeed the future prince and princesses of guru nanak’s….our master’s kingdom. My heart REALLY longs to see you at samagams. My heart blossoms…My heart smiles in such a joy when i see you sitting in keertan….singing along so beautifully…playing chaine (even though i sometimes have to take them away from you guys…sorry 🙁 )….playing tabla….doing keertan sohilla/chaupai sahib…doing sewa….i cannot describe how it truelly feels seeing you guys in so much love….seeing so much dedication to sanagat….YOU are my role models…my soul…my heart! Sometimes i feel like gathering you all up and kissing away your charan dhuur…pyare pyare….I LOVE YOU!

Being an older sister however…i have a duty…a responsibility to protect you guys from weeds….from viruses….so i would also share with you, what i learnt from my elders in sangat…MY role models…and from bauji mataji…which was useful for me while walking on this path and still remaining in the corrupt society (being in the school environment where it is hard to walk on this path and not to waver away from it).

Few things i took from MY older sisters and veers in sangat and mata ji bauji are..

• Being simple. THE most helpful thing. This protected my mind from useless thoughts that diverted my mind from taking laha in sangat…doing simran…and in school (which is really meant for studies). Why we need to stay simple in sangat? We OUGHT to stay very simple (simplest of the simplest) in sangat…because by wearing certain “attractive” clothes, makeup…it diverts sangat’s attention….aslo, ouur own mind gets polluted with useless thoughts. we want to come to sangat “unnoticed” and take as much laahaa….because this is indeed our main goal….reason why we come to sangat…and receive the divine gifts our pyare bauji mataji struggeld to give us..

• Utilizing our precious time in sangat. My dad always taught me to remember “You have been given a chance to attend this samagam. It is a grace of guru Nanak. if we dont avail this opportunity wisely….we have no right to complain to guru nanak if we don’t get the next samagam….the chance is simply passed on to the soul that’s more sincere than you.” How do we utilize our time? sitting inside the divine aura of the samagam hall and listening to keertan or doing sewa when your tired of sitting. Does that mean we can’t play at a samagam? No. it’s just a bit of time adjustment. Our playtime can be accommodated in break time…

• Not holding a grudge in sangat (or outside sangat). This has been very helpful to me….it helps me enjoy the samagam rather than my mind constantly thinking about useless poisonous thoughts that drain out the acquired laha in sangat. In one of the thoughts bauji says “if you hold a grudge against someone in sangat….your stabbing guru nanak!”. When i heard bauji say this….i got goosebumps…It hurts THAT MUCH to guru nanak? Hence, this is very dangerous…

That’s all I’ve got to share….these are just few personal tricks learnt from sangat and bauji’ talks…that helped my walking on this path…

keep going…challe chalo with blind faith on guru nanak 🙂

with sooooooooo much love…
