Khalsa Constructors
Guru Gobind Singh Jee has give us the blue-prints for constructing a spiritual sky-scraper that reaches through all the heavens right up to Waheguru Jee's realm of Truth, Sach Khand.
Guru Sahib Jee has firstly warned His Khalsa Constructors of the 4 MAJOR SPIRITUAL DISASTERS that could strike at any time during construction:, so Khalsa jee watch out for the internal equivalents of
1. EarthQuake : Don't commit adultery. It will shake your Sikhee from the basement in the tip of your toe to the attic at the top of your head...
2. Volcanic Erruption : Don't take alcohol, cigarrettes or drugs. The burning poison will flow in your artery plumbing system like rivers of flaming lava.
3. Tornado: Don't even insult a single pore of your body. This terrible spiralling whirlwind will cause you to rip huge holes out of the side of the building known as nose and ear, it will disfigure the exterior paintwork and leave nasty dark stains known as tatoos, and worst of all it will instantly uproot the mighty `Hair' trees that you'd been growing in the garden since childhood...
4. Floods : Don't eat meat. The waves of cruelty will come crashing down. They will cause you to have no mercy and to slice the throats of animals far and wide. Build flood barriers to hold back the rivers of blood and be merciful to ALL creatures by making your building a sancturary for them and not a fearful slaughter-house.
Guru Gobind Singh jee has secondly told His Khalsa Constructors to have daily
1. Security Patrols : Get up early at amritvela (1230-0600) and shine the flash-light across the mind-plot- be on the hunt for the 5 thieves. When your sure the coast is clear then carefully sow the seeds of Waheguru Waheguru naam simran. When you see the dawn breaking sing the glories of the creator by doing nitnem .
2. Union Meetings: Go to the Gurdwara Head Office morning and evening, get the blessings of Great Master constructor Guru Granth Sabhb jee, listen to the Hukam Nama and apply it to your life i.e construction for that day.
3. Team Building Sessions: Serve the Khalsa Contructor Sangat and learn some tricks of the trade like humility and speaking sweetly, make sacrifices to help each other. Treat everyone equally, don't gossip or slander anyone, have compassion for all the Sadh sangat, remember it's hard to build on your own, but easy if their's a whole group of you.
All the Khalsa Constructors need now is Guru Jee's pat on the back, with that blessing the spiritual skyscraper will be contructed in no time at all. The Guru's blessing is worth more than anything else in the world whether it's fast cars, gold, spouse's love, bhangra do's etc. The Guru's blessing stays with you in your heart - and no-one can steal it, or shatter it like your dreams. People can kick you or punch you, people may not stand by you, people can lie and cheat you , but they can never get inside you and steal the Guru's blessing. They can never make you feel inferior or depressed - they drown in their bitter and twisted thoughts, whereas you cling to the Guru's blessing and are safely construct your spiritual skyscraper to the sound of Waheguru Waheguru naam simran.
So how well built is your spiritual skyscraper, friend? Guru Gobind Singh Jee gave us the above warnings, guidelines and blessings. Did you build a house without following the warnings and guidelines? Did you have weak foundation stones which meant your hopes, dreams, health and wealth all came crashing down killing everything inside you?
So many people are living in beautiful houses from the exterior. They make great effort to show the world how happy and pretty and rich they are. But, the reality is that in their mind, past the front door their is nothing but darkness, depression, bitterness and negativity strewn all across the floors, like the night before the 5 thieves broke in and held a house party and now they refuse to leave. So the owner runs from door to door telling everyone of his miserable saga, then all of them console him and say `that is just the way life is, they think it's interesting and sing and dance about how sad they are and how they'll never be able to mend their broken heart.'.
If they knocked on the door of the Khalsa Constructor's spiritual skyscraper, they would be told `friend, your life is not worth singing and dancing about, you got what your deserved 'Apay Beej Apay hee Khao'.
The Khalsa Constructor would say `Friend, I feel your sorrow, but your saga is not that interesting because it is easy to waste life and then tell a sad story with lots of bad language and violence : it only becomes interesting when there's a hero - when someone becomes divinely inspired by Guru Gobind Singh jee and fights and defeats all the injustices'.
The Khalsa Constructor would continue with, `You're wasting your life running around telling everyone your grief, what's the point in relying on other people to help you out? They've got the same 5 thieves sitting inside their house so how are they going to help you evict yours? Friend, if you don't find the true helper then your life will be no different from millions of others and can be summarised as `from dust to dust and lots of misery in between. Friend, I have only one thing to say to you and that is if you truly want things to get better then stop expecting mortals to save your honour. Take the protection of Guru Granth Sahib jeeo who have saved countless souls, still saving countless souls and will carry on saving countless souls.
Guru Granth Sahib jeeo de charni lago, learn from the Shabad Guru, do naam simran like a drowning man clutching a life-saver. Guru Kirpa naal Waheguru Ji's bright light will enter into your beautiful spiritual skyscraper and the blinded 5 thieves will scuttle away like rats back into the dark depths from where they came from.
