A spiritual comment and prayer to start the day with Jasvir Singh.

Good morning.

The clocks have gone back, and the nights are drawing in. For Sikhs, this time of year is filled with festivals and anniversaries. The holy city of Amritsar becomes a hive of activity for Sikhs during this period, and the Harmandir Sahib or Golden Temple is the focal point for all celebrations and commemorations. Amritsar was founded by the 4th Sikh Guru, Guru Ram Das Ji, about 4 and a half centuries ago. The Guru composed several verses, including this one which talks about the joy of communion with the Almighty.

Come, dear sisters-let us join together. I am a sacrifice to the one who tells me of my Beloved. Joining the True Congregation, I have found the Almighty, my Best Friend. I am a sacrifice to the True Teacher. Wherever I look, there I see the Almighty, my Master. You are permeating each and every heart, O All-Prevailing Knower of Inner Thoughts. The Perfect Guru has shown me that the Almighty is always with me. I am forever a sacrifice to the True Teacher. There is only one breath; all are made of the same clay; the light within all is the same. The One Light pervades all the many and various beings. This Light intermingles with them, but it is not diluted or obscured. By the Guru's Grace, I have come to see the One. I am a sacrifice to the True Teacher.

When the Servant Nanak speaks the Nectar of the Word. It is dear and pleasing to the minds of the Sikhs of the Gurus. The Guru, the Perfect True Teacher, shares the Teachings. The Guru, the True Teacher, is Generous to all.
