Then With His Own Hands, Guru Gobind Singh Decorated You
Siri Singh Sahib Yogi Bhajan
You have a blessing, and you have come from a code of divinity. Your problem is your absolutely pre-written destiny.
Paihle banee praaladh, paache banio sareer.
"First the destiny is determined, and then the body is formed."
With all your problems, close your eyes and just hear the call of that destiny today. Guru Gobind Singh gave you a call, not to your body, not to your mind, but to your soul. He said, "Come." Guru Gobind Singh said, "Come and meet me at Anandpur." About 85,000 - 90,000 of you participated; you made it.
A call was given three hundred years ago, and with no means at our disposal, thousands of you gathered there. Out of the blue, Guru Gobind Singh asked for a head of a brave one for the mission. Not one, but five, came forward, one after the other. He dressed them, he baptized them, taught them strength, glory, and grace. That established the Panth Khalsa. And for the first time in the world, the Khalsa baptized Him as Guru, and honored Him as Guru of the Khalsa.
You gave your heads to get this dress called bana. When you are in the perfect radiance and glory of bana, it affects others who see you, and they know you are not for sale.
You stood the test of time. it was just a gracious test to understand that the impossible doesn't exist for you. Then with His own hands, Guru Gobind Singh decorated you. With His own heart, He adopted you, and with His own strength and courage, He shared with you the legacy of tomorrow. That is how you came to be on this planet.
This is not a religion of a man or a philosophy; it is a religion of those who put their head on their hands and walk on, making the way for others to follow. It is a process in which you, by your example of purity and your trust in the oneness of yourself and God, have found the grace of God within you. You have found God is with your every limb, with every shred of your being.
Remember on this earth, to see and imagine the entire planet Earth, with Mother Earth and Mother Nature ready to serve you, because they want to please His most exalted son, Guru Gobind Singh, and His family. You are called "Umath Khalsa," the strength of purity which will multiply in many bodies and many spheres and shall grow into the essence of life. This essential essence of life will be with you forever.
Kar ishnaan simar parabrahm, ant paaiaa rogaa.
"Get up in the ambrosial hour, take your ishnaan (bath) and then meditate with your God, and your mind and soul will be free, healthy, and without disease."
Give your worries, your discomforts, your calamities to the Guru, and walk with comfort, grace, and ease. The future for you is very evident. Your role in the Sikh Nation has been defined. It is classified. It is destined. It is prophesied. The prophet has already said and spoken, "Remember your identity as a Khalsa is pure, is perfect."
