A few months ago I was fortunate enough to do the Sangat of one
particular GurSikh, sorry that should be GURSIKH!!!, and this Pyara was
truely great. Just being in the same room as this Naam Abiaasee Pyara
was enough for somebody like me. His face was so bright and radiant
that I actually felt something inside me by just looking at him. He is
very predominant in the war in Punjab and as a result had many
considerations whilst making visits to Singhs outside India etc., but
you could not tell - he was utterly care-free (as in VehParvah in
Gurbanee), he seemed so much at peace that he was overflowing. I think
it was this overflow that I was lucky enough to feel.
Once he sat down on the same Chadar (cotton sheet) that I was sat on, and I felt as if I should be on the same level and tried moving of the Chadar on to the floor - such was his brightness and radiance. I did not want to make a fuss or make this Pyara feel uncomfortable, so a reluctantly stayed there and listened eagerly to every word he spoke; in a hope that I too may be able to progress onto the level he is at. He spoke of course, only about Naam and told stories of Naami GurSikhs.
At another time, we happened to be stood outside in the open, waiting for other GurSikhs to get ready to go somewhere, and I asked him about AmritVela. He gave a very brief reply and then hugged me and said "VAAHI-GUROO!"!!!!! I felt like all my Ardaasaa had been heard! and that everything was going to be fine and that I had no worries left anymore! Infact I cannot explain it properly, to be even acknowledged in such a way was too much for somebody like me to handle. I am just wondering now, if this is the Pyar (love) that a GurSikh can give, then what will happen when / if Guru Sahib himself glances my way??!! Will I be able to bear all that Pyar?......but then again, why would Guru Sahib even think of doing such a thing to somebody who is such a Paappee (sinner) like me?
