But what about manmukhs like me? Who say “hunn dhhey peya tere dvaare”, and then continue to sin, thinking its His raza that I am doing sin? What about moorakhs like me who say, Vaheguru jee, jo karauna karaayee jaao, and then do sins assuming that Vaheguru jee is making me commit them? What about bhekhi Singhs like me, who are light years away from Naam, who try sometimes but give up easilyby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

I have a katha by Sant Kartar Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale who was jathedar of Damdami Taksal before Sant Jarnail Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale. In the middle of the katha, he stops, and it seems like some kid in patka comes and does matha tek to Guru Sahib. Then Sant Kartar Singh Ji Khalsa Bhindranwale is heard saying "oye bhujangiya, uthh! ja dastaar sajaake aa...Guru di hajoori vich khabardaarby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
I myself wanted to write about Bhai Genda ji as I loved the sakhi as was told in a deevaan by Bhai Sukha Singh from UK. I can’t come close to Bhai Kulbir Singh ji’s kavya rachna, but here is a mere attempt. This sakhi is told in the form of a poem in 3rd person. I am personifying myself as the air (pavan) that is flowing from Kabul, where Bhai Genda ji lived, all the way to Kiratpur Sahib wheby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
“dhhey peya tere dvaare” means to fall and literally break down at Gurujee’s feet. This is the avastha when one has totally and unconditionally surrendered oneself to Gurujee’s Hukam, without any hope, desire, or expectation whatsoever. Another small attempt to bring out this feeling. mang mang ke mangta hoya, mangaan fer nah rajjiyaan ikk ikk karke khushiyaan aiyaan, ikk ikk karke bhby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
Bhai Sahib ji I remember reading this when you posted it long ago. Really amazing and thanks for sharing it again. I had a similar experience in my college van in Dubai in which I used to go back home. This Christian friend from Philippines started praising Jesus Christ and telling my Hindu friend. I couldn't stop myself and jumped into the discussion. He said the same things this bibi said to yoby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

The reading of this sakhi will invoke bir rass in any Singh/Kaur. I agree, we need to train in some sort of martial art. When people see my amazing built, they don't believe me that I am a Sikh. Then I have to tell them that this body was born as a Brahmin, which explains why it looks like a tooth-pick. However, several Brahmins have big tummies, I don't know how/why I got left out.

This poem is in Hindi, and is a humorous and sarcastic one. I have made a dew word changes as compared to the original version. Jis desh mein ganga behti hai, lekin shanti kabhi nahi rehti hai Jahaan log hain sab dharmo ke, phal bhugat rahe apne karmo ke Goro ne kaha sonay ki chidiya, usay aaj hum kehte India Iski nahi koi ek pehchaan, phir bhi mera bharat mahaan Sanskriti jiski sadiyoby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

Vaheguru Vaheguru Vaheguru Vaheguru Vaheguru!!!!! Now we can clearly see the difference between the words from the soul of a manmukh like me and a Gurmukh like Bhai Sahib ji.

Blood related family and kaljugi friends either never understand, or take ages to understand how and why someone got into Sikhi. I wrote this poem above last year, although that question was put to me many years ago “kyon baneya tu sardar?” I read it to my father on the telephone and he loved it as well, like all my other futile attempts. Initially the reaction was, as expected, a shock.by Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum

written Friday 13 February 2009 Today is Friday the 13th, a day most people fear for all sorts of weird reasons. But is there anything to really fear about? Not in the Sikhi sense, at least I feel that way.

I was having one of those days, and so wrote this. It's funny how we are quick to talk, advice, convince others around us when they are in a particular situation. Yet we can't stand upto our own words when Akaal Purakh slaps those situations on us. This poem is written as a slap to my own weak and hypocritical nature, which may show some a reflection of what we really are. How easy it seemsby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
There are a lot of individuals who think it is a blessing to help people out and try to inspire, encourage or motivate them into Sikhi. They feel good to talk to people and console them, and tell them that Gurujee will look out for them, that whatever Gurujee does is best for us, that whatever happens is His Will. It is always so cool to tell people stuff that sounds so nice to hear/read. Butby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
This poem is a sequel to my earlier poem entitled “Thankless I am” which I wrote in May 2003.

Thankless I am, for being totally blind Calling you cruel, although YOU were kind Thankless I am, for throwing all the blame When it was my mind that was totally lame Thankless I am, for calling them bad times Which actually cut the sins of my past crimes Thankless I am, for not understanding That YOU always give, and yet I am demanding Thankless I am, for not being able to rejoicby Mehtab Singh - Gurmat Discussion Forum
