Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh...
Just wanted to share this beautiful shabad from our Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the first time I heard this, it penetrated my soul so deep and made me realise that we should not worry carelessly of things which are out of our control and understanding. In this world we are led to believe we are in control, able to make our own destiny and have power to make things happen when in essence it is Waheguru who does all and has already written our destiny. Whether this means we have happiness or sadness in our lives, it is all a part of Waheguru's divine plan. Guru ji has told us that if we take one step towards him, God takes millions towards us. Hence, when reading the shabad we are told that if we become Waheguru's 'sevakh' we become deathless; lose fear of death and become fearless just like our Dasam Patshah Guru Gobind Singh Ji wanted us to be... to be Khalsa... to be Sant Sipahi's (Saint Soldiers).
Anyhow enough of me writing here is the shabad...
