This time of year I get to talk to you personally and that means a lot to me.
This is Guruka Singh at SikhNet inviting you to watch this short video I made with you in mind. It talks about the Leap of Faith that SikhNet is about to make and how we came to know we had no choice but to make it.
On this day a line was drawn in the sand. Some stepped over that line, but to some of us, this seemed very unusual and uncomfortable. Some turned their backs and walked away thinking, "This is starting to sound like an organized religion. No way do I want to be part of this." But many others, myself included...
The time of power and control is ending. Our Guru has shown how every Sikh has a direct connection to God and Guru without the need for any middle man. Being present with the awakening souls of these children was a privilege and a blessing for me.
Guruka Singh describes that there are 3 different kinds or levels of truth. There is conditional truth, personal truth, and universal truth.
The Guru uses a phrase 'sooke kaasht hariaa' "The dry wood blossoms with greenery." Guru ji is not just teaching us about wood! It is about our own heart, body and mind. Guruka Singh touches on the deep meaning of Gurbani special for season we are in right now.
Diwali is here and Ria and Raj are busy cooking up some mischief in the kitchen, but a big surprise is in store for everyone!
That is how the Guru loves his Sikhs. And that the gift he gave us may look like a book - but it's not. Not at all. It's a portal, it's a Stargate. It's an opening into another dimension.
Seva means making myself available to people, being present with everyone at every opportunity, and doing the thing that needs doing in each moment, whatever that may be. The state of mind of a servant is to be alert to his master’s needs, to be very intuitive, and to act without hesitation.
Sometimes we worry if the Web will even let the “paper culture” exist. But hope springs eternal and we remain optimistic. We just need to expand our idea of publications to include all the communication channels from paper to emerging media.
