I KNOW NOTHING

how humble? how humble?
how so deeply humble
is Guru Arjun Dev ji?

beloved guru ji,
everywhere i look
i see lack of unity
Muslims against Hindus
Sikhs against Sikhs
mool mantr is upto gurprasad
NO! NO! NO!
upto nanak hosibhisach
anger, bitterness and hate
so guru ji, what would you say:

'k'choo na jana
mat meree thhhoree
binvant nanak

ot prabh thoree
i know nothing
my wisdom is little
prays Nanak
Prabh i seek your Shelter'

beloved guru ji,
everywhere i turn
i see nothing but animosity
Whites against Blacks
Sikhs against Sikhs
the 5th K is Kes
NO! NO! NO!
its definitely keskee
anger, bitterness and hate
so guru ji, what would you say:

'k'choo na jana
mat meree thhhoree
binvant nanak
ot prabh thoree
i know nothing
my wisdom is little
prays Nanak
Prabh i seek your Shelter'

beloved guru ji,
everywhere i turn
i see nothing but maa, mera, me
Husband against Wife
Sikhs against Sikhs
nothing wrong with meat
NO! NO! NO!
we should have mercy
anger, bitterness and hate
so guru ji, what would you say:

'k'choo na jana
mat meree thhhoree
binvant nanak
ot prabh thoree
i know nothing
my wisdom is little
prays Nanak
Prabh i seek your Shelter'

Whenever someone starts getting into Sikhi
the same old topics of Kes vs Keskee, Meat vs Mercy,
length of Mool Mantr get dragged through the dirt,
rubbing the poor Sikh's face in the filth,
now either he gives up Sikhi disillusioned at the confusion,
or she takes a fanatical stand on one side of the fence,
...stirring up the cess-pit for all to smell...
Ego, anger, hate run a wild rampage
and these are the 'GurMukhs'
God help the ManMukhs!!!

So Guru helps us all

all we got to do is FALL
at the lotus feet
admit we are incomplete

'k'choo na jana
mat meree thhhoree
binvant nanak
ot prabh thoree
i know nothing
my wisdom is little
prays Nanak
Prabh i seek your Shelter'

Taken from the book: FROM THE HEART

When Did We Last Meet ? (Question to my Maker)

When did we last meet?
How did we greet?
Did we embrace?
Did I have the courage to touch your radiant face?

What was the season the day and the time?
Was it raining then or did the sun shine?
Did I have virtue then, hence the reason of us meeting?
Was I in true love with you beyond all forms of deceiving?

Did I put my head on your golden feet?
Was I humble then, without conceit?
Did you take me in your arms like the mother does her child?
Did I fall asleep in your lap under the radiance of your smile?

How many moons have gone by since we last met?
How many births how many deaths?
Sometimes I hear vibrations of your sweet song,
Where did I falter where did I go wrong?

Like a newborn child crying to the mother for its feed,
I remain unsatisfied with everything; it is you that I need,
The pain of being without you is getting much more severe,
When will our eyes meet again is that moment near?
