CHARACTER
There was an elderly sikh man, at the train station, waiting to catch his train. The man fell in to deep meditation, whilst waiting for his train. The train had just arrived and the queue was very long. Most people boarded the train but nobody could get past the singh, as he was engrossed in the ras (taste) of Naam meditation.
A police officer had seen the line was not going any further and the Singh was holding it up. He went to the singh and told him to move on. The singh did not hear his request. The police officer then slapped him across the face, which threw the singh completely from his state. The Sikh man humbly apologised and boarded the train. This was witnessed by a Hindu person.
The next day, the same Hindu person was going for a walk and all of a sudden, he heard some screaming. He turned around and saw nine men chasing one women. He then saw the same old Sikh man run past him with a latthee (stick). The Hindu man followed the Singh and witnessed him beating the nine gunday (bad people) with his latthee). They were all left on the floor, asking for forgiveness from the old Singh.
The old Singh took the top layer of his dastaar (turban) off and covered the girl. The Hindu man then approached the Singh and said, "You got slapped by one police officer yesterday and apologised, as though you were scared."
The singh replied, "Sikhs are never scared. We have already died and given our head to our Guru. I was wrong in that situation. I was holding up a queue, as I fell deep in to meditation. It was my fault."
The Hindu person touched the Singh's feet and embraced him with a hug and said, "If you are like this, what must your Guru be like?" The Hindu person adopted the path of Sikhi, after witnessing this humble, compassionate and righteous act.
All power comes through faith and meditation!
Guru Arjun Dev Ji says, "He alone is called a warrior, who is attached to Vaheguroo's love in this age. Through the Perfect, True Guru, he conquers his own soul and then everything comes under his control."
Vaheguroo!
