Three weeks ago, during the evening children’s class
at my local Gurdwara Sahib, I found this thank-you card placed in front
of Satguru Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji. It was lovely to read. Aged 7 and 10, two sisters along with other children who attend the
class accepted the Gurmat class challenge for the summer holidays of
waking up in the morning, doing Gurmat ishnaan (simran or paath whilst
having a full body wash) followed by reading or listening to full Japji
Sahib and then having breakfast. The children received some prizes for
this as encouragement.
The young girl said to her mum, “Can
you ask Bhaji why has Baba Ji (referring to Guru Sahib) not read my
card yet?” Seeing her innocent love for Guru Ji was overwhelming! Guru
Sahib gave me a thought which I shared... “If someone sent your Bibi Ji
(grandmother) a card... would she read it or would she ask you to read
it to her because she really loves you?” She replied “Bibi Ji would love
for us to open the card for her and read it to her!” I then said “Do
you think Baba Ji would like it if you open the card and read it to
Him?” She nodded her head excitedly and got her sister to help her to
read the card.
Her mum said to me that the youngest child said to her at
home “Baba Ji can see me, hears me doing Paath and speaks to me.” The
mum said “how?” She replied “Mum when you look at me, Vahiguru sees me
through your eyes. Vahiguru also sees the world through my eyes.”
Then she said, “When I do Paath Vahiguru hears me through my ears.” And
then she said, “When I do Paath and Simran, Vahiguru speaks to me
through my tongue.” I learnt so much from this young child that day, and
always learning from these students!
